Next manager

[rico94]

He had 3 years at Stoke after that saved them from relegation from the championship and then nothing spectacular, just lower half of the table mediocrity. No idea if they should have been doing better or if just keeping them there was an achievement. Did well at Shamrock Rovers prior to the national team job. All Wikipedia mind. Who knows? Are we really in a position to get in someone with a glittering managerial career or a perfect record?

Stoke seem to be have been lower half of the table mediocrity in the championship since they got relegated from the Premier League. They don’t really look like they have the money to go for a promotion push and it doesn’t seem like O’Neill did any better or worse than the managers before or after him.

He did well at Shamrock Rovers like you said and also the Northern Ireland job the first time round so maybe he is a good choice.Sounds like Cormack has been a fan for a long time.

Apparently was Cormacks choice to replace McInnes when he went to talk to the Huns in 2017/18.

Oh great, another rummy. No thanks.

If there is any truth to shortlist I heard today everyone of them has a chequered past.

No manager with a decent reputation is going to touch us at the moment.

I doubt that's much different from when we weren't such a basket case of a club. If O'Neill does take the job, he's probably as good a candidate reputation and experience wise that we could attract full stop.

I'd be happy with him.

Somehow I don't see it happening.

Trouble is ANY manager who thinks he could get a job in the Championship, would consider anything but Rangers and Celtic as not worth their while. Unless they have real belief in themselves that they could make such success of the job that it would enhance their reputation.

Mark Fotheringham being seriously considered apparently.Not sure if the media are putting that down to the fact he was a coach in Germany and the independent review was done by a German company?

Only other experience as a manager was at Huddersfield where he got fired after 5 wins in 21 games,Kenny Miller was his assistant which will be why he was raving about him on the radio at the weekend.

Paul Dickov would be a good shout

FFS why? On the basis of his stellar managerial career?? He must have suitors fighting amongst themselves for this genius who got sacked by Doncaster in 2015. He's really picked up from then, as by managing no-one at all he has not experienced any further sackings.
Have you unearthed any other gems?
