📝 New Manager [Luke Williams Appointed]

[laddo]

There are people on here that do indeed like to discuss the game at a technical level, me included, that doesn't mean they set themselves up as purists, people just find different things interesting. Some like discussing tactics, others like posting puns.

This ^^^^^^

NCM has it all tactical discussions, score predictions, financial guesswork, speculation on signings, match reports/ratings, betting advice, irregular reports from other club's message boards, and (occasionally) funny word play.

There really is something for everyone including 'Off Topic' threads to discuss politics and the state of the country if that's your thing.

We even have our own selective part time Spelling and Grammar Police when they aren't busy eating doughnuts with their feet up.

In terms of footballing styles, it's naturally and clearly evolved throughout football over the decades. At the end of the day as to what you like well it's different strokes for different folks, and the rose tinted aspect takes many many forms.

Hit the theme tune....

"Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum,
What might be right for you, may not be right for some.
A man is born, he's a man of means.
Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans.

But they got, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes Diff'rent Strokes to move the world."

Waiting for the 2pm press conference…
Anyone seen George Burley recently?

No odds showing again on BV.

Its all guesswork really as nobody seems to have a clue who it will be

Luke Williams? His win ratio, the only time he was actually a manager 5 years ago, was 26.7% I bleddy hope he's improved if it is him. Askey was in the mix, no idea if he still is.

I think the owners have made things unnecessarily difficult for themselves by holding on to a specific set of values and presumably only choosing from a small group of prospective employees who reflect those values. That strikes me as a bit inflexible tbh.

Also, the player recruitment model will disuade potential managers from applying, reducing the pool further.

I respect the owners and like how they go about running the club on the whole, but it may well take a degree of pragmatism to get us out of this division. Hopefully they can show that.

Luke Williams 26% win ratio should be passed over to Tactics Tim.

He was making all subs apparently and tactics and probably thinks he is too important to be a lower level manager.

Fullarton Friday?
