Neale Cooper on the brink:

I was speaking to a season ticket, and they were laying the blame at the players!  Sounds familiar.

The joke's on Coyle, if he had waited a few hours he could have applied for the Bayern job.

 

 

Still can't believe they've actually sacked him. Presumably robben had a large say in this? Seems a bit of a cunt.

Seems like it.  I'd much rather have Ancellotti as my coach than Robben as a team mate. Carlo is a brilliant coach and comes across very well.  He won't be out of a job for too long anyway.

Ancelotti to fill the Falkirk vacancy?

Would be surprised if this wasn't announced before the weekend.  He's always wanted to work with Mark Kerr; would fill the void in his life left by Xabi Alonso's retirement.

McCulloch oot along with his assistant.

 

My bet is on Kris Boyd becoming player manager

Makes dropping points to them all the more annoying.

McIntyre & Dodds surely a shoe in for Killie gig.

Nothing reported in the press yet but the "in the know" wallopers on caravan mad all saying McKinnon has been bulleted. Wonder if Robson would fancy the job there....

Surely the aforementioned McIntyre and Dodds for the Arabs

Considering your average "bear" is barely literate and drags his knuckles on the ground whilst singing about paddling about in a vessel containing blood that reaches halfway up their legs...

 

Mr Hughes on the other hand....

 

 

McKinnon officially away.

Csaba Laszlo (ex Hearts manager) to be appointed at Arabs. He did okay on his first season at Hearts from memory.

I thought that was because he was mates with somebody that kent Vlad? I didn't realise he was an actual manager. Although, joining the arabs isn't necessarily confirmation of that.

Caravan dwellers hereby renamed Csaba's Wanks

Daily Retard claiming Michael O'Neil has turned down Scotland job.

Being reported in a comic that SFA have reached a compensation deal with Norn Iron to allow them to speak to Michael O'Neill. Already has a 4 year extension on the table from Irish.

Following on from the other Scotland thread, you can’t give the boy O’Neill grief for leaving NI. It’s his home nation and they’re offering a better deal. I think he wants to come back to club management as well, so a national job with major scrutiny from the off wouldn’t be appealing.

 

As for our nations boss, I’d quite like someone with SPL experience. All they really need to be is a coach at the end of the day; and someone with the balls to play domesticly based players would have my vote. They’ll care and give more than the faceless pointless call ups we have been making!

 

I see Ross is in talks with Barnsley at the mo, that’ll put an end to him ever succeeding McInnes if he’s successful then.

Alan McRae sat down to dinner and drinks with Duncan Fraser and Derek McInnes at a quiet hotel on the outskirts of Aberdeen on Sunday evening.

 

What would this meeting be about..

 

Answers on a postcard to the SFA

Going there will net him a hefty pay rise but realistically will it ever improve his stock and get him an even better job in future? Right now they are sitting in one of the relegation positions in the Championship with Hull, Birmingham and Bolton sitting right above them, all of whom possess far greater resources. If he kept them up this season he would be hailed in a similar way Alex Neil was when he got Norwich promoted in his first 6 months.

 

However if he did keep them up he still faces the prospect of managing a club which in financial terms is probably still going to be in the bottom 3 comparatively against his rivals, regardless of who comes up from League 1. I doubt anyone would ever expect Barnsley to ever be serious challengers for promotion to the Premier League but their board and support would probably want to see a manager keep them comfortably mid table to be regarded as a success. But on a budget far less than 90% or more than their rivals.

 

And if, as is a more likely scenario, they drop down to League 1 at the end of this season, the only scenario their board will tolerate is instant promotion back up. If they weren't in the top 6 of League 1 at this point next season ( and within 9-10 points of the top team) it's highly likely he would be facing the bullet and returning back north of the border with his reputation tarnished.

 

I hope he thinks very carefully before jumping ship.

Could do worse than pick up the phone and have a chat with McInnes in my opinion.

Definte parallels between this and the situation McInnes walked into @ Bristol City.

Personally feel, Ross is building up his stock at Helen and would be wise to stick with what he has at present.
