Tekel Towers » New manager (assuming Mickey is away)

Tangy · 24/5/2021 6:49 pm

A big no for me, for John Hughes
Mcinnes hates playing youth- so presumably no.
Steve mclaren is technical director at Derby

Who else is going about. The bad thing is any manager won't get a chance to see the team as they are all away on holiday and will need to rely on asghar to have identified what we need

I'll be honest I don't care who gets the job.

Who ever it is there are no guarantees of success. Experienced manager, rookie, foreign, Scottish we've tried them all.
I won't get excited or disappointed whoever gets the job.
They will get my full backing when the season starts however.

Am I right in saying last season out of the 12 teams in the league 9 have changed managers? I don't want any of the usual suspects as none of them offers anything different from the last 3 times we were looking.

Actually agree with this, very few guarantees in football. I have a short list of who I don't want, other than that it's all the same to me.

Strong rumours of John Hughes

Arab93 · 24/5/2021 9:14 pm

yogi wouldnt be the worse imo, can see del boy getting it though.

Surprised Mellons going though, was looking forward to seeing him next year however with Ashghar theres never any certainty!

I know via an acquintance who works as a football Agent, that Hughes was on the phone to him as late as Friday night looking to take a player from England up to Dingwall.

Wonder what changed over the weekend to make him decide County aren't for him.🤔

Hughes is after the Dunfermline job apparently.

If we appoint from within the club then that's it, I'm done with this circus.

My feelings as well. After supporting this club for over 40 years I think I’d be done.

Has to be someone out of work as can’t see us splashing out on Mellon compensation then more for a guy in a current job which would suggest, McInnes, Hughes or the like. I’m with Beharder on this. Not bothered who we get as it’ll be same old same old unless we go leftfield which is a possibility as I reckon seasoned managers might no fancy Asghar’s approach.

Bit extreme is it not lads?

I'd say so

So without knowing why the current manager left or why an internal appointment has been made, you'd stop supporting the club altogether?

I wonder if any Barca fans took the huff and said they weren't going back to the nou camp when Guardiola took over? that would have been lonely 6 or 7 years.

I imagine there will be a lot of unhappy arabs if and when Tam Courts and Adam Asghar get announced.

bowers · 25/5/2021 11:18 am

Tam Courts 1/2 favourite with skybet already.

WeeDude_83 · 25/5/2021 11:40 am

Honestly I don’t think it’s extreme that lads are furious about the possibility of Courts & Asghar being in charge.
Was Peps dad in charge of Barca when he was handed the reigns? Asghar has neither the experience nor the credentials to be assistant manager. Courts ditto.

Genuinely need to give your head a wobble if you think that’s the right appointment for us.

We’re not a plaything for Asghar. We’re not an experiment. I’m all for going with a younger academy filled squad but with a manager who has some sort of record as a manager.

Lilley01 · 25/5/2021 2:36 pm

For the record, I don’t want Courts as manager. But it certainly won’t stop me supporting the team. Comment was tongue in cheek as I’m very aware there’s not a lot of parallels between us and Barca and from Pep and Tam. However, playing devils advocate to the folk who’d be ‘done’ with the club, what if it went well?

Tangy · 25/5/2021 3:21 pm

How long before big steve pressley 'rules himself out'....even though nobody wants him in....

Piss on this. No fucking thank you

Lilley01 · 25/5/2021 6:05 pm

What does TA get out of appointing Courts?

He doesn't get anything. I actually think TA may be in a no win situation. My feeling is that Ogren will not put up any more money and has told TA that unless he brings money in (transfers) he'll have to manage on the existing budget.

One must remember TA had (apart from himself), a General Manager, In House Legal, forwards coach (McCulloch). That's a lot of wages. Bringing in his son always looked rather nepotistic (not helped by the fact the lad was tweeting about his appointment prior to it being announced).

Ogren's last announcement looked rather desperate. He seemed to be of the view that crowds would be back in stadia long before the end of the season. Who briefed him on that? Ogren is a businessman who wants to run the Club profitably.

If TA goes for the in house (cheap option), the number of season tickets sold will plummet. If he appoints a more experienced manger, he (TA) may be out of a job.

LarsErikKjell · 25/5/2021 7:49 pm

Thing is now, if its not Tam Courts, fans will say its because he saw the backlash and changed his mind. He is fucked at this point. Amazingly. Because we dont even know if these rumours have any truth in them.

Mass Debates · 25/5/2021 8:43 pm

No posted for ages so no better time to do so than the manager buggering off.

totally agree TA is in a world of shite now. He goes for the cheap option to keep his overall control then the backlash will be likely too much to continue for any length of time. It’s no secret now that a manager or ‘head coach’ is expected to dance to his tune, given we’ve lost two managers in 12mths it’s not overly appealing to experienced managers.

in the end of the day the customer is king and given the emotiveness of football once we turn there is no going back, this is the last Roll of the dice for him. If he fucks it up then he’ll know it’s going to end in tears.

On a slightly more positive note can we just take a minute to be thankful that the bland football offered up this season is hopefully gone and up until the Aberdeen game very few of us would have been upset to see Mellon go.

Over to you Toni, we wait with baited breath and pitchforks at the ready.
