Has Barry shown enough to be considered new manager?

Have to admit to underestimating BF.

I said we'd scud Motherwell then suffer against Fenerbache and Celtic. Couldn't have got it more wrong.

 

Credit to him for putting together a coaching team that have got results in big games.

 

That said, I wouldn't want him as 'permanent' manager.  Although with everything up in air at the moment, its difficult to know in what direction the club will go.

I don't think he gets the opportunity tbh, he has a limited time to 'win' the gig, I don't think we have the depth to get to the EL final, and everything else is gone.

 

I think he has a chance of an Archie Knox type role, but our next appointment is too important to be fucking about with.

Unless we win the Europa and every game to seasons end, No. But I could maybe see him staying on as a something akin to a motivation coach for the next manager.

There is no doubt he and his team have produced some impressive tactical changes in the couple of big games he's had but permanent manager is a different proposition. 

Club legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer got a 3 year deal out of Man Utd for a decent interim spell which was a terrible decision in the end so we dont want to have a scenario like that.

I think the answer to that needs to be overlayed with the clubs longer term plans.  If FFP or just general finances means we’re going to have a few lean years then we do need someone who can just fire up a dressing room and there was little doubt that as skipper, he did that.  If however the club has a broader plan that involves an element of player investment, then we need someone who can lead that as that would not be something you’d want an inexperienced manager leading.  But one thing is for sure, wee Barry should have a role on the coaching team going forward.
