    Relatively successful. Not good enough. Next.

    True….as a football message board we should all really hope we employ another diddy manager. If say we hire Adolf, this place would have zilch to moan about and the numbers of posts would dramatically drop. The wine competitions would stop as the chief wine maker would be too busy guzzling his finest due to celebrations of winning silverware. I could start one myself but no one is wanting to win a 2 litre bottle of Pepsi Max.
    In theory we need the good people of the FMB to appoint someone who can keep us all communicating with each other more frequently. In that respect we should open our arms out and welcome Charles Adam. We can thank the FMB for their contribution to the internet community later.

    Afraid to say this to you, but far more diddy managers in the game than good ones and most clubs are hoping to achieve the same thing. Even managers who have had relative success at other clubs usually find themselves sacked quite quickly when they move on, even more so when they move to other countries.

    Glass was a bad appointment, I thought Goodwin was uninspired, but though he may at least have steadied us.

    I am still of the belief that whoever we employ as manager, they will struggle until we overhaul the structure of the footballing side of the club.

    It’s a good manager who should structure the club to suit their good team. Cormack/Milne/Gunn etc don’t have the ability to properly structure a successful football club. It’s not fully their fault because it isn’t their expertise.

    I do wonder how the process works. Who does the interviews. Do they ask folk in the game opinions, do some background checks.

    I'm not a fan of Cormack, but I don't think even he is vain enough to hire without consulting folk a bit more knowledgeable, but nothing would surprise me.
