Would normally agree but I have a little more trust on Michael Grant 

Fair enough. If Horneland does fall through do you have an alternative preference?

The club are going to have egg on their face if it’s back to the drawing board. They were speaking of an imminent appointment last week, maybe they should have been a bit more cautious if this is true. Obviously (if true) disappointing to miss out on the number one candidate aswell, I know there are mixed opinions on Horneland but if you trust the process that has been followed he has come out of that as the standout candidate.

Tbh I’m pretty scunnered with it all. It’s starting to feel like them chasing shadows with Gerard/Rhol/Muscat/Rhol. Optics are honking. 
 

I’ve said previously that we are playing the risk game of trying to target managers who have done something interesting but lost their mojo somewhere (as we are with players). If we can get a tune out of one of them then it’s brilliant but so often there are valid reasons why they are available to us that don’t turn out well. It’s like we are repeatedly panning for gold. 
 

On balance, I’d probably hope we keep panning and dream of a lump of gold appearing rather than mining the talent of ‘they know the Scottish game’ and knowing that it’s likely to unearth the square root of fuck all.

I'm wanting Horneland now. It's a classic "Dandies always get their man" scenario or is that the Mounties not sure. It'll be an affront if we don't get him.

However if it does fall through I'd be consoled by the fact we would probably then go and take that Danish lad away from Motherwell.

It's all good.
