Next manager

[mondo_notion]

I do sometimes get the impression EPL managers throw their name in as they want a wee shottie of a Scottish team.

Judge the man by what he does in the dugout though so good luck Mr Warnock. Heed first in to these clatty hun f*cks.

Ach, at least it'll be interesting and bring the club a bit of press coverage. At least it's not a dull, unimaginative, obvious appointment. Might be entertaining, even if it is a bit of a car crash 😆

Can't help but think this won't go well. I fear he will be in awe of the cheeks and although I'm a dinosaur myself don't think that type of manager will work anymore. Having said that I hope he wins every game.

I'm actually feart that we will be relegated this season with Warnock at the wheel.

You guys need to calm down and take a breath. Warnock a worse manager than Robson? (which is the implication if you are saying we will be relegated). Give me a break. What has he done in his career to suggest that? We will finish either fourth or fifth (as long as Miovski stays fit).

I sincerely hope that Cormack will use this next three months to appoint a proper DoF (not Gunn) who then appoints the next manager (not Cormack). That's what should happen, whether Cormack's ego allows it of course is a different question.

Guy's older than my dad ffs. Feel like the only reason so many Dons fans are going for this on social media is that they recognise the guy's face fae Match of the Day years back. Pretty focking sceptical about this een - hope he proves the doubters wrong like! COYR

Actually believe it is unimaginative- same way as the media were pushing to get Lennon appointed this smacks of “this boy said we ignored him before, but we have a chance of getting him now- he is high profile so let’s get him for 3 months- that will appease our fans” type of thinking

Don’t believe he will get us relegated, but I do believe he has the character to unsettle some of our players. No problem with bench warmers like Morris, but guys like Polvara who is developing well, Jack Milne, McKenzie.then he ****s off at the end of the season with no care in the world with his pension topped up.
I have never liked the guy but if appointed will give him a fair go but he has a bit to go to win me over
However Cormack should know enough about succession planning by now FFS- signs were there 2 months ago that the job was too big for Robson but he has done **** all about it

Yeah, I suppose it's obvious in the sense that he's fairly famous (or infamous) and had recently talked about being snubbed...but still quite surprised Cormack has allowed someone with such a big ego and larger than life persona into the club.

I think he'll do well for us

Regardless of what you think of the man and his personality judge him on his results - which with teams in more difficult leagues than ours have been decent, especially when he's been brought in to do a 5 month last chance saloon. He's well respected in decent leagues and sites Sir Alex as a big influence.

According to his former players he is an excellent man-manager, which in a team shorn of confidence but with abundant talent is exactly what we need. He doesn't have a set formation and seems to base his tactics on the abilities of the squad - which sounds like basic common sense but Robson, Goodwin and probably Glass all failed to do. He appears to do well with players who've lost form.

Barry had ostracised some members of the team to the extent they were neither seen nor heard which will usually have a negative and divisive effect on the rest of the team - although we'll probably never know the full story re Vicente, Angus, Or etc

I don't have confidence in the FMB that they would have been able to quickly appoint the manager we're all looking for so I'd rather this situation 100% regardless of who the interim is - but I think we've got a better chance of a good end to the season with Warnock and it gives us the best chance of identifying the right long term manager

I’m with Ebbe. The man clearly has a long history of turning round worse teams than ours in better leagues.

I reckon it’s a good appointment to get us safely through to summer and into the top 6. At which point we put a far-sighted and genuinely exciting manager in place.

I hope I don’t eat my words…
