Isn't it too late in terms of re-signing? he's on a long contract, no?.

I meant when he didn't resign until the last minute.

When you find out, let me know if there’s a cure for it.

I thought I was happy with either, but after seeing the last couple of posts suggesting Muscat is the favourite I'm feeling a little deflated, like this is the lazy choice again.

Me too, I don't want another x-Ger with pre-conceptions of the club & players. I want someone that the board will not quibble about backing. Muscat is the easy choice for the board. The one thing I liked about that article was that the board showed a bit of balls, enquiring about Julen Lopetegui.

Advantage to Clement is that he's likely to bring Paul Mitchell as DoF and we sure do need one.

Muscat was never much of a ‘Ger, though. Didn’t have the status of GvB.

I had mentioned before that it would be good to bring in a manager/D.O.F pairing that had worked well together previously, so that could be another plus to Clement.

my thoughts exactly.

Is there no smoke coming from Ibrox Towers yet? FFS how long does it take!

 

If we are to believe it is a two-horse race with Clement & Muscat, with a lot of indecision around I sometimes play the old opposites game, where you ask yourself if the tims were looking for a new manger and it was down to these two, which one would you be hoping they DIDN'T get? That therefore gives you the answer as to who we want. That draws me towards Clement and away from Muscat. But in fairness either of these look as if they have the experience and credentials we are looking for so would be ok with either and as long as it isnt McInnes, Lampard or any other serial losers or anti-football merchants then it is a step forward from the snake-oil salesman.

Be that as it may, this no-one-knew-anything-about Ange chap we all laughed about back in the day was good enough to get them silverware on all fronts but Europe. He built a team (with lush CL-millions) that was good enough to hold everything in Scotland well at bay, including us. Whereas we toiled along with "modern football".

 

TBH, I have no clue about most of the guys in the poll these days - their managerial credentials, that is. And I don't mind that, as long as the one who comes in gets this team back on track and we start winning trophies again. Be it Clement, Muscat, or Davis. There won't be any new arrivals (bar freebies) before the turn of the year, so we are stuck with what we have - no matter the manager. I still think that we bought decent quality, even though we made horrible decision along the way (Colak, Sakala, Hagi).
