    Money doesn't decide tactics. The false no. 9 first deployed by Pep with Messi all those years ago. The false centre back first deployed by Pep last year with Fernandinho. He may have money but he's also 'ahead of his time' somewhat. Meanwhile Robbie is playing three centre mids and a striker out wide.😂

    Money decides if you have a Messi or a Fernandinho though to deploy these... err false positions..... It's the Scottish Championship FFS....

    It does, but I don't see anyone else trying similar? Regardless, I'm not here to argue whether or not we rate Guardiola. He's just an example of someone who has ideas that others don't. Who implements them before they are even 'a thing'. I don't see this coming from Robbie, Scottish Championship or not, so think McCulloch is getting a bit carried away with himself.

    Klopp had better ideas obviously this season than Guardiola though, obviously. Guardiola imo had a much more superior squad than Liverpool - 2 fkn great 11's to pick from but Klopp bested him no probs with a decent 15 players I'd say. Nae false anything, just very good in every position.

    Don't know if he's years ahead but give the guy his due he's done what he was brought in to do get us promoted. Been times I've said it myself this season show more attacking in games but as said he's got us up and did same with hearts even easier in harder league then and took them to 3rd season they got up so give the guy a break and be behind him if get any football this season

    I totally agree. Some folk just can't give him the credit he deserves.

    Whoever is in a charge of a league winning team would always be thanked by the fans,
    I think many are questionning whether the players won the league because of him or in spite of.
    Let's be honest in most of the games where it wasn't going well his tactics and the time taken if at all to change the set up/players was painful and, without Shankland's goals imo we would have struggled to win championship

    I have my doubts that Robbie would be premiership savvy, it would help if he gets a few more Shankland class signings to take the need for any managing/coaching out if it-can't be rocket science to say give the decent players the ball and win it back and repeat
    Otherwise we'll struggle to stay up never mind challenge top half.

    He did the business and got us up so fair enough he gets pass marks from me.I don't think any manager years ahead of his time would lose at Alloa,get battered by the worst QOTS team in many a year or lose at home to Arbroath.
