The Real PapaBear 0 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Jimmy Calderwood is no better a manager than Ally and he's been doing it for 20 times longer! In the 5 years before Calderwood took over aberdeen and in the five years since he left aberdeen, they manged one (1) top 4 finish. In the 5 years he was manager, they finished in the top 4 on four occasions. No better than Ally? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not Calderwood's Aberdeen that Thumped Bayern at Pittodrie ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Calderwood comes across as a dinosaur, but if you listen to him, he's anything but. He actually talks a very good game. Having spent 20 years in Holland, he has obviously picked up things Ally could never have. Jimmy Calderwood is no better a manager than Ally and he's been doing it for 20 times longer! I disagree. Jimmy proved at more than one club he is actually not a bad manager, unlike Ally. He has done things as a manager Ally could only dream of and with a fraction of any budget Ally has ever had. Jimmy is a man who has learned his trade properly and done took the manager road the hard way picking up experiences Ally will never get. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also took a mediocre Dunfermline side to a national cup final and managed a Ramsdens Cup win with a small Highland club. He has also wont he SPL manager of the month award on 5 occassions, how many has Ally won? When you compare the budgets and resources both men have had to work with, it's a no brainer who is the better manager. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Calderwood sounds good from statistics, but you won't convince me he should replace Ally. No chance. Just as with prospective players, stats aren't everything when it comes to prospective managers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Cooper 0 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Stuart McCall Do you think he could win a mental, technical and tactical battle with Neil Lennon under the pressure of an old firm tie? It's all very well getting one over them on one off occasions but the big one....... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
