Devil's advocaat 1,617 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I'd take Chris Coleman over most of the other names mooted so far. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,813 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 While I see a point in not waiting too long for appointing a new manager, the status quo hasn't changed for the last two weeks. Murty is in charge and the next couple of games against Dundee and Accies are very well in his and the team's capabilities. Whether the board will risk throwing a new manager in at the deep end with that double header against the Sheep is anyone's guess. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,823 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 To be fair to him, he has always set up his teams to punch well above their weight. From memory, he got Shamrock Rovers into the Europa league proper. He has done exceptionally well with NI (qualified for the Euros, knock out stages of the World Cup) but imo that is where he should remain. Would probably do well with Scotland or a smaller international team but for all his considerable attributes, I would hope that we would not consider him for the Rangers manager's position. He's done very well with NI. However, looking at Shamrock, they went straight into the play-off game, won it tightly after-extra-time, then proceeded to lose every game in the group stage. It seemed like a fluke. I've not even checked out their opponents, Partizan. He did win two league titles with Shamrock, but had a win-rate of 53%, something most were keen to criticise PC for. He's done well with NI, but I agree, he's not for us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,823 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Coleman has something about him, including experience in Cyprus and Spain, but his record is not great -- albeit, it's been mostly outwith his control, i.e. financial troubles. I'm not sure. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,966 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Nobody knows. It is all as clear as a cardinal's conscience. One thing though: the Club has a Director of Football in place, and under contract. What price the appointment of a player-coach? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The nearer it gets to the sheep double header with no McInnes deal in view the more I suspect it wont be happening. How uncomfortable would it be to bring him following matches in which his sheep side may have taken vital points from us? That's not to say I think the sheep will beat us because what I actually think is that we only need to play to our capabilities and we can comfortably beat them. But the above scenario is just one reason i'm having doubts McInnes is even in the running now. Presuming he ever were. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Maybe the board are waiting to see what Santa leaves us I have a feeling it will be Dick Advocaat next to Mutry. Advocaat retires in 1 or 2 years Mutry takes over as Manager. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
