Jack Ross

[KIWIRED]

It’s a no for me , a lazy and uninspiring appointment.

We should either look to promote from within for rest of season or appoint someone short term with a view to using this time to get in the right candidate for next season.

Totally agree Ross would be a lazy appointment that would ultimately back fire on the club

One word if he gets the job

Disapointing

Jack Ross tae 'steady the ship' and get us back tae continuous mediocrity? ... Nah, fvck that .... nae for me.

This is the problem.

Do we need "steadying? "

If we don't actually lose tomorrow night then the season may well be over but we're in little danger of relegation.

So, given that it was boredom that stopped me going in the first place,

I'm for another experiment

Look for an Austrian or a Czech who will have a good feel for the German and East European markets.

Obviously the weegie press will be waiting to pounce but bugger a safe boring appointment.

During the Livi game Steve Tosh said something like

“If you’re targeting 3rd you need to be looking at how Hearts are doing against the others.”

There lies the problem.

Most of the candidates being discussed could get us top 6 I suspect. End up with a Farts/Farmers hybrid we have been watching for way too long.

So we gamble (again) and get a Manager from elsewhere that might just deliver what Glass couldn’t

Might have to kiss a lot of frogs.

Could be some bargains around in the Ukraine at the moment?

I've said for ages, without an overhaul of the club's infrastructure, the new manager is limited in what he can, or can't, do.
Glass was on a hiding to nothing.
His appointment should have been accompanied by the hiring of an experienced heid honcho/ General manager (we dinna seem to like the job title "Director of football" in Scotland) to overhaul recruitment, scouting and youth development.

If we go down the "young and inexperienced " road again, this is is an essential component.
I feel we'll go down a more conventional road though, with 3rd/4th and a cup final beingnthe limit of our capabilities.

caesium-137 the day?


I'll get my coat...

I suspect Mircea Lucescu at Dinamo Kyiv is a bit out of our range but, for another Romanian manager, no harm sounding out Dan Petrescu at Cluj.

Today’s Herald (paywall avoided via Yahoo). For once their comment piece is not about the Stinky Twins or ****ing golf or ******* rugby. Good analysis, but bland conclusion.

If all these fitba-wise journos are critical of the crazy Cormack decision to give an untried manager a major gig, why did they not red flag it 11 months ago?

You’re all ****s.

Just **** off.

Weegie journalism via yahoo??

From the man who’s advice made it possible for me to read the ravings of the right wing press free of charge????

Did you get banned from the library for hanging around the toilets again?

[donsdaft]

Aye.


Cormack min, if you're reading this.

We don't want mediocrity, keep the experiments coming.

Hot speculation that he's the preferred candidate for the Plastics' manky orange managerial jacket.

That'll be the end to what was a promising career at that managerial graveyard.

Maybe they mean Ross Jack? As Rothes play in orange and black, they might even save on a training gear issue. He's a bit sweary for such a cuddly teddy bear family club where boss-eyed boors assault our players.

Now to sanitise my hands.
