Ser Barristan Selmy

As I've said previously, it's a wonder with Scottish football being so enigmatic that pretty much every single side gets pumped at the first hurdle in Europe, often to comical opposition. The fact is we compete in one of the worst leagues in Europe and restricting the search to a pool of crap managers makes no sense.

I saw various people on RM creaming over the prospect of Pulis. Personally if we're going to dream big with unobtainable managers, I'd want someone that doesn't play rancid football. If we were going to splash out for an EPL level manager who plays 'iffy' football, I'd have loved to have seen Big Sam. The guy plays rank football largely (though better than Pulis), but he's already taken Everton into the top half. The fact of the matter though is the Aberdeen manager has just turned us down, so EPL managers used to multi-million pound contracts aren't going to be looking at us. Michel Preud'homme has openly said he wants the job. Why are we not going for him? Lots of experience, won loads of trophies and a track record in European football too. Restricting our managerial search to a nation known for being useless at fitba (Scotland) makes little sense to me.

A good manager couldn't run them close with this team. We hardly have anyone worth anything. A good manager, however, would have spent the summer expenditure much more prudently. Our problems extend far beyond the manager though. Shit trickles down and shit it all we're going to get with this board.

02/03 - Klos, Numan, Amoruso, Moore, Ricksen, Ferguson, Arteta, Lovenkrands, De Boer, Mols, Caniggia. Literally a plank of wood could win the Scottish title with that team. I concede that Eck has shown some ability to come into a new role and gee up the team he has. However, he has consistently proven time and time again that he's incapable, both tactically and in terms of player acquisition. We would be as well bringing Ally back. Neither have anything to offer the world of football management.

When was the last time he was good?

Who are you talking to?

I wish we had a completely fresh start with the board too. I see the same old faces and the same old problems. I just have to hope at some point in my lifetime someone buys us, completely overhauls us and gets us back to where we want to be. All we’re doing at the moment is going backwards.

lol...did I really just see McLeish and safe pair out of hands in the same sentence? Odd how he keeps getting sacked and can’t find work. We’d be better keeping Murty.

He'll be gone soon. To quote Paul Merson, he's a 'fish up a tree'. For various reasons he just shouldn't be here.

That's true. And he isn't the solution.

Rab, pls. You're better than this.

Over the course of the season there is no misfortune whatsoever. We are where we deserve to be.

Yes, grinding out wins in the Scottish league against pish opposition will only last so long.

I hope those of you thinking even for a moment that Murty would be a worthy permanent manager of our club are hanging your heads in shame. A couple of wins against a shite Aberdeen team don't mask the fact he's proven time and time again how incapable he is. Three games on the trot we've been awful and before the Aberdeen games we had back to back defeats against Hamilton and Dundee. Jesus fucking Christ. We have neither the board nor the manager capable of taking us any further forward.

It's pointless us talking to each other. We are never going to agree on anything. Rangers being in second place is nothing to be proud of.

It shows how far we've fallen that a guy who endured back to back defeats against Hamilton and Dundee is actually being talked up to be our permanent manager.

I think he's proven quite clearly that he's a pretty useless one.

The result shouldn't fool us. We were rubbish last night.

That can't be right.

You're just embarrassing yourself at this stage.

Probably because McInnes isn't a complete failure that nobody wants?

Whilst McInnes would have felt like getting a pair of grey socks from your nan at Xmas, if we end up with Eck I think I probably will hang myself. We obviously don't have the ambition, money or ability to attract anyone decent. As for Murty, after all of the embarrassing defeats we've endured under him is he seriously an option? This board, just like the last one, and the eerily similar one before that, are as incompetent as they are embarrassing.

The way I see it is all those teams are crap and how they do should be of little consequence to us. What McInnes has done in his career doesn't really impress me, but he shall get my full backing regardless.

IF you're not watching this game put it on NOW!

It isn't just based on last night either. He hasn't done anything in his career to merit managing a club of our size. That said, we could and possibly will do worse.
