Next Season's manager

[maineflyer 0]

There are too many successful examples of first time managers to argue that it can't happen. There are all too many examples of first time managers failing to recommend it. There are also way too many experienced managers who both fail and succeed to argue that experience is really a useful basis for prediction. How much money does Mancini or Ancelotti need in order to prove that money doesn't always make a successful manager.

 

Surely what matters is that you only judge the winners at the finishing line and that there simply are no guarantees .... oh, and that the opinion of supporters is seldom either useful or noticed. Also that the convergence of man, opportunity and a network of circumstances too complex to describe or understand is the real and only recipe for success. On that basis we can pontificate all we like in the make-believe world of forums but not a single poster here or anywhere else has a scooby how McCoist will turn out - if we could accept that then our views might seem a whole lot less conceited, especially mine!

Either that or he is blinded by his love of the club !

with where the club currently is sadly that could very well be the scenario we ultimately realise

By the same token, McCoist has had a few years working under Walter Smith - that in itself isnt a bad learning curve.

 

The reality is that NOT ONE OF US knows how McCoist will turn out - some of us will give him the benefit of the doubt whilst others will condemn him to the failure bin before he even steps into the manager's office.

 

I have my doubts about him but he gets the benefit of the doubt with me. One thing that cant be denied is that he is brave taking on this role whilst we are in the shit we currently are. Either that or he is blinded by his love of the club !

 

I agree with you and wil also stand behind him I would have just proffered someone with more experience.
