Words of wisdom? I shudder to think... "Right Mark...if the you find that bypassing the midfield and punting the ball twenty times to the strikers is not working, don't worry. Just keep trying. Football by chance and not design is the future." "Remember you'll need a limited player like Lee McCulloch/Christian Dailly to fit badly into various positions and be an empty jersey. He'll also offer some dig...ie. foul after foul...." "Play as many players as you can out of position" "Don't practice any dead balls or corners. It's a waste of time" "Get Coisty or Duranty in the background to keep the lads happy" "If you have a player that shows any signs of skill, make sure you drum that out of him by benching him or playing him in the wrong position" And so on, and so on....

I'm pretty sure their budget would have been one of the lowest in the division to

Agreed. This is one thing that cannot be overlooked about football. It's not good enough to simply rely on loyalty IMO. Fans need to be engaged with what's on the pitch and the direction we were heading over the last few years under Ally was losing fans by the minute. We were in danger in losing a generation of fans due to the turgid football on offer and I hope to god we cannot claw these young people back with a new exciting product on the park.

Even though this is a press conference, this feels like night and day compared to the nonsense we've had to listen to over the last few years. Happiest and most excited day as a Bear in years

Welcome to the talentless world that is the Scottish Football media Mark...

35 seconds? Stop bragging please....

IMO, this is the most progressive thing we have done in years. Firstly, I'm very excited (and surprised tbh) that we have managed to capture a manager with such a great reputation for playing attacking football as well as developing young players and one that could walk into any job in the vastly competitive English championship. Secondly, I am glad it's a fresh start. No connection to the past, 9IAR or the turgid brand of football we have had to suffer for years now. For the first time in ages I feel we look ahead to an exciting future as opposed to a badly recycled version of yesterdays glories.
