Next manager

[Panda]

The German Stephen Glass? Except perhaps this time we'd have the set up at the club that Glass should have had.

You know what, it'd be interesting, I wouldn't be against it. Obviously has no managerial record to speak of, but 12 years coaching and being in the dugout isn't a lack of experience really. And if he's head coach rather than overall manager, then it's not really a step up that should be behind him.

Didn't realise he had retired so young (29/30). I do remember him being a very capable right back for Celtic. Won 21 caps for Germany too which ain't bad going.

I think that’s not quite accurate, as much as it’s prob tongue in cheek, 9 years as asst at shamrock rovers and Atlanta utd vs 13 yrs as asst at stuttgart, leipzig, spartak, and currently asst with the Belgium national team since 2023. 1 cap for Scotland vs 21 for Germany, watford dunfermline and hibs vs Celtic stuttgart and Sevilla. Played champions league, won the eufa cup and super cup. Obviously guarantees nothing, doesn’t mean this makes a good coach/manager.

he’s 43, good age, coaching experience, obviously German like lutz, possibly knows lutz, and knows Scottish football to an extent.

not ideal but enough intrigue from me. Much more appealing than a lambert, Lennon, or Billy Davies! plus his last name isn’t Robinson so that’s a plus. Definitely a lot of uncertainty around the club at present, but like you said, def learned from the glass experience, and we do have the structures in place to provide greater support.

*Beyond him.

I should get a proofreader.

I mean, I wasn't literally claiming Andreas Hinkel was the German Stephen Glass.

Point of order: Glass also played for Newcastle, and he was at Shamrock for two years, not nine. 

Also, Glass reached the heights by playing for the Dons, min.

All irrelevant but I had to scratch that itch.

Yes, and as someone in my 40s I'd strongly argue that is still very young. His best years (and mine) are still ahead of him.

That makes them best pals in my book.

And if it falls through, Robbie Neilson is still available.
