Hoose Rice Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Ranieri must be the ultimate. Yogi went from winning the Scottish with Inverness to getting relegated with Raith to L1 in the space of a year. Falkirk are of course the club version. From kicking about the playoffs in the Championship only not going up because us, **** and hearts where in the league to mid table L1 outfit now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From winning there 54th title. To oblivion in less that 2 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine Hibs Fan Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Stubbs was a funny one, and those weren't convinced by him at Hibs have ultimately been proven correct. He had a very good squad at that level and got a couple of years of relatively little pressure in the league due to Rangers and Hearts being there/managing a likeable team after a good 6/7 years of shite, so should have learned his trade. There were signs he had with obviously some very good victories over top flight sides in his various cup runs, and of course is a legend for winning the SC, but never managed to get us as far as a playoff final with some very poor performances under his tenure which ultimately would have seen him gone if he hadn't done so well in the cups. In the end though he seems to have been far too confident in his abilities and his tenure at St Mirren was jaw-droppingly strange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor1874 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Always found Alex MacDonald a strange one. Bit before my time but had 2 very good long term spells at Hearts and Airdrie and has been out of management ever since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicMike Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 A more condensed version.... In February 2017 Paul Hartley won Manager of the Month after Dundee went the entire period undefeated including a 2-1 win over Rangers and a 5-1 thumping of Motherwell. Dundee then lost 7 games in a row and Hartley was sacked in April. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 In Lennons last year we went from being 13 points ahead when the league was called (and to be almost certainly more going by form) to 25 points behind the following season. Some fall off a cliff that really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Thomas Courts had us on 25 points after 15 games despite being a total unknown at this level. If our league form continues, we should have 25 points after 38 games.Hopefully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly not sure tbh. I would imagine someone at some point had offered something though. 1 hour ago, Martin_T said: I recall reading that that is through choice, he had offers but chose not to take any. Fair play to him if so. Retired with a pretty decent CV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Terry Butcher. Doing great things at Inverness, who must be up there with us for good managerial appointment ratio over the past fifteen years, then joined Hibs during the season when wee Pat got sacked.The famous 'a lot of these lads won't be here next season' after they got pumped 2-0 going on 6-0 at McDiarmid was exactly the sort of motivational chat the players needed to down tools and not win another game all season (I think). Relegated and binned at the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back at that period the team I think most affected by the presence of all us 3 kicking about the championship was definitely queen of the south . That team they had from the first season was a great team who would have coasted to promotion under more normal circumstances Edited January 25, 2022 by Forever_blueco 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggie_Murray7 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Yogi Hughes. Guided Inverness to an (unsuccessful) League Cup final in his first year, her then lead them to a 3rd placed finish and the Scottish Cup. He left the following season and took on the Raith Rovers job. He held something like a 10 point lead over the relegation favourites - St Mirren and Ayr - only to chuck it away, finish 9th and be relegated via the play-off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of that was some dreadful managerial appointments though and Calderwood and Butcher in particular were dreadful. Mixu and to an extent Fenlon at least seemed to have a clue but weren't really good enough either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
