1. I would argue that more importantly than what manager we bring in is how much money Cormack is willing to put into the team. He will no doubt have seen the reaction on social media and with his ego he won't want this to fail - best chance to avoid that is to invest heavily in the team. Given all of the loan signings and players out of contract there will clearly be plenty of signings this Summer. Big question is how far is Cormack willing to push out the boat to support Glass and is Glass a big enough name to attract the better players
2. Will Glass set out the team to play the attractive football that Cormack has promised?
3. Will Glass be willing to have a go against celtic and sevco rather than park 10 players in defence and wait for Ajer/Tavernier to stroll through us and set up the inevitable goal/defeat?
4. Will Glass be willing to give youth a chance. I think I am right in saying that in 8 whole years McInnes brought through only one player from the youth ranks that became a regular first team player (McKenna and I might argue even that was lucky - Motherwell away thrashing etc). Others like Wright/McLennan/Campbell are bit part at best. An appalling record
5. Will Glass be able to actually improve players from the point they are signed as that has been a very rare event in the last 8 seasons
Many other similar questions but that's probably enough for now but in summary he isn't part of the Scottish football mafia so let's not write him off without seeing what he brings to the job first
