Ric Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) Have we ever had a truly left field appointment? Trying to think back and all the managers, at least in modern history, have been pretty obvious decisions. It seems odd, but Oran Kearney is probably the only one that stands out in those terms.

Would Alex Rae come into that category? The guy hadn’t managed a club in seven years. When IM left the club, you could have listed 50 potential managers and I highly doubt his name would have been on it.

I was thinking more of managers like Jansen or Golac. Obviously there was the whole train of Lithuanians at Romanov's Hearts, although were they ever actually in charge? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many left field appointments, plenty of rumoured names though. Guti & Patrick Kluivert probably the two that raised eyebrows at the time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithuanian guy was the manager when they won the Scottish Some old USSR manager who done the best interview ever seen on tv was in charge when we beat them in the league cup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on BT sport being a Ranjers fan boy, that’s the last thing I want as my manager so it’s a no from me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was brilliant car crash stuff it has to be said. I honestly don't know how many of them there were, but it felt like 6 or 7 were trotted out over a 2 years period. Maybe I'm in some fever dream and it was only the one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like loads then randomly John McGlynn and Stevie Frail. I remember one time they dropped Elvis, Hartley and Skacel for Celtic Park and the Lithuanian manager gave the reason 3 times in on the trott "Elvis needs rest"..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onto the next one which hopefully will be seen as a great opportunity seeing as we’re in a good position league and cup wise. You're a disgrace not waiting for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 38 minutes ago, Captain Saintsible said: What is the connection between the two? There’s no connection, Jack Ross is a decent manager and the best available at the minute. Mutely is a hopeless joke figure like Stubbs. My point being that if the likes of you don’t want the best available, we could end up with someone like McGhee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
