Next manager

[ZakkTheMakk]

Cormack has tried the untested, young, AFC connected, inexperienced manager in both Glass and Robson and to some extent with Goodwin he tried a manager that had some experience though was still young.

Robson has shown, what many of us have been saying for a very long time now, that he quite frankly isn't up to the job and his pre contract winning run was the anomaly to the actual dirge that he has been presiding over for some time now.

Cormack and the FMB have to show some balls, accept they made ANOTHER monumental calamity in appointing Robson and do what needs to be done and show him the door before we really do enter a relegation battle.

After that they have to push the boat, hell the full fleet of boats out to attempt to land a top manager as the squad we have, with a couple of Jan additions easily has the potential to rescue top 6, possibly 3rd/4th before the season ends. AFC in Scottish and somewhat European terms is still considered a big job and plum position to be the manager so lets make use of that and go all out to land someone that would deliver the "success" that we believe is achievable.

Oh FFS not another thread where Br0chred fails to detect a bit of sarcasm, and a bit of being on the windup but thanks for the bite again min.
But on a serious note who should we appoint?
I up until the yesterday was pretty much of the give robson time opinion but it's clear it is not going to happen, but when we have binned managers in the past, Robson has been in the building to take up the interim role, this time round I don't really see anyone in the building to take on the interim role.
So just putting it out there that we could have appointed Lennon short term instead of Glass I am not suggesting we appoint him now as we are tooooooo far gone for that.
as I said before sacking managers is not the cause of our sh1tshow it's fkn cormack and the FMP appointing cr@p ones that is the problem
We need to top class manager to turn this club around and we need cormack to GTF
It's too late for Popcorn teeth that ship has sailed

Who do you suggest we go for and please nae Mowbray

Where to start, firstly if it was "sarcasm" surely you must have become fed up repeating the same sarcastic line for the past however many years it has been. But for the good of us all please don't bother typing that again, as you say, that ship has sailed.
I would agree that we need a top class manager and Robson is probably not him. I have significant concerns however that we will not get one because any "top class " manager isn't going to come here. We play in a sh!t league which any top class manager would consider they have no chance of winning. We probably wouldn't pay top class wages either.
Our form this season is hugely alarming and that, I think, is the fault of the manager - as well as the usual BitB biased calls/player flock ups aside. However at this time I am loathed to get rid of Robson as I have no idea who we could get to replace him. The usual suspects or other previously failed managers, I don't think are the answer. Some successful manager from another country?, possibly? but ask Man Utd how that turned out. So in answer to your question, no one. Keep Robson just now, if things are really sliding come mid Jan and Motherwell and Livi are no longer in freefall we will need to bite the bullet. Who knows, with no more Europe and the League cup finished, we might just concentrate on the league and (cough) win some games.
On the matter of Cormack, I pose the same question to you. Who would you have in charge then? Let's face it there aren't queues of billionaires champing at the bit to invest in us. At least Cormack has loosened the purse strings for signings, regardless of what people think of them. I have no truck with Cormack, at least he's a Red and is a significant improvement in our last incumbent.

Pie in the sky if folk think we are going to be getting a manager with any great pedigree. Just not going to happen

We are a deemed a nothing club in a nothing league.

Any managers linking themselves with our position when it arises are just using it for leverage at rolls elsewhere.

Our best chance of a successful manager would be a young manager with the balls to do the job and be able to walk the walk as well as just talk the talk.

Every club outwith the cheeks are living in the hope of the next appointment being the messiah we all want and need.

As I've said before money talks and to have any attempt at getting a manager above the levels we've been looking at previously then you need to lure them with cash.

We spunked half a million on Gueye and he's been worse than a man down, why not invest similar sums of money in a manager who would give you a return far beyond what a 1/2 million player ever could. If Miovski is sold for insane money in January then there is your carrot for any incoming manager, a nice transfer kitty with a large signing on fee and contract for themself.

We're not looking to win the league, complete lunacy to be saying that at this point in time but we should at the very least be looking to make 3rd our own and get to finals more often than not with winning a trophy every couple of years.

Any manager coming in that could produce those results would be sought after by bigger clubs down south or on the continent so it's a win win for everyone.

Will Cormack push the boat out if Robson does get the dunt though? It would be the last throw of the dice for him so why not go big this time.

I would have no issue in paying for a quality manager, as long as it doesn't take funds away from our playing budget. I'm still not convinced it all boils down to money though.

I don't have the answers min, but the prospect of Colgate and his band of co-horts choosing yet another manager for us gives me the fear.

You are spot on with that one.

Outside of Scotland we are not seen as a big job to managers. I’m sure there are English managers in league 1 and league 2 who would see it as a step up but these top quality proper managers people are wanting us to go for will have zero interest in coming here.

Even guys like Mowbray who have been mentioned who aren’t top managers would be able to get another job down south so wouldn’t bother coming up here.

Realistically you would be looking at someone in Scotland who is out of work and is never going to get a bigger job than us these days or someone who is in work and sees it as a step up.

Yeah so we should abandon all hope then and just call it a day.

Why would it be his “last throw of the dice”?

No you are well within your right to think a top manager is going to come here to finish 3rd and get to the odd final.

It’s just highly likely you are going to end up disappointed when Robsons replacement gets appointed.
