Right, thoughts?

My money's on the statue of Fergie.

I know he’s got the nightmare playing CV but he grew up an Aberdeen fan, didn’t he?

I kind of like the fact he’s a total oddball. Might be a good fit for us

Aye, top Dandy. I like him.

Really? I was under the impression he was found guilty, received jail time and was suspended by FIFA as a result of the conviction.

Our Lutz is innocent. Was all west coast bias.

If the best we can come up with is Pressley and Lennon, then we may as well just save ourselves the compo and give Robinson another six months.

McGlynn the only manager in Scotland who should be considered, and even then I'm not sure if he fits into Lutz's set-up.

I like McGlynn but he’s 65.

We’re at the point where I would take Lennon, but definitely not Pressley.

Surely Lutz needs to get his black book out to find a good European manager.

I wouldn't take Lennon. I have been impressed by Pressley but it's a no from me just now as would like to see him get a bit more experience but I wouldn't rule out wanting him in the future. If we were to be looking domestically I have said before my preference would be Simo Valekari. I've been really impressed by him since he came back to Scotland and I think he ticks a lot of boxes. Lots of managerial experience, has won things, has managed clubs where the expectation is to win most weeks and did it again with St J last season winning one of the most competitive leagues in European football comfortably. Overall his teams have been nice on the eye from what I can tell though I saw in the flesh he knows how to manage a game and shut it down when they beat us 1-0 recently. Worth noting as well he was the manager that got James McPake to turn potential into a player that is now getting Scotland call ups and has done very well for Hearts. At the very least he would be worth an interview.

Not having a go, but why on earth would anyone take Lennon?

Has achieved absolutely nothing as a manager other than at Celtic where a chimpanzee could have won those trophies given the financial advantages he had.

He’s also got serious personal issues and flaws, we’ve had managers like that (Paterson anyone) so why on earth would we go down that road again?

The one thing I’d say for him is I did like his attitude when at Hibs and the fact he never backed down or shat the bed against the uglies - we could definitely do with some of that attitude - but the myriad red flags waaaaay outweigh that.

So for the avoidance of doubt, its a no from The Moog jury…

McGlynn is still eight years younger than the Celtic manager.

It's not that old.

Jose Mourinho is 63 and currently managing the biggest club in the world.

Worryingly, so would some of our boardroom.

The Daily Record making a strong start with who can make the daftest suggestions.

Hiring Neil Lennon would be a deal breaker for me

If he delivered "par with expectations" (what a nonsense phrase) then why did he get the bullet? Idiots.

Do we really need a manager? They just seem to make things worse.

Should be an immediate ban from here, for anyone wanting Neil Lennon managing us.

A few bad results and it goes beyond toxic.

The St Johnstone and Hearts managers are worth a shout, but suspect they would need time that they won't get.

The statue of Fergie, has to be worth a punt, or just let Dave C take over.

Ron Noades did that with Crystal Palace, back in the 90s.

They did get relegated though.

I fucked that one up.

Should have been Falkirk.

I thought Mourinho was at Real Madrid?

Not got a clue who to go for now, if it’s an interim appointment we are looking for I would bring back Glass. I know his tenure wasn’t a roaring success but I think the possession based style he tried to implement suits the club. Also based on his previous time here he would get some of the youngsters into the team which I think is important seeing as we can’t afford another costly re-build. Then we can take our time and hopefully get the right man in when someone becomes available.

Ah, fair enough. But I did overlook the most damning piece of evidence. No-one looking like he does, with a wifie like 'er indoors, is on the up and up.

He wasn’t the worst but he had actual football players that could keep possession for periods in a game

Our current group can’t string 3 passes together, don’t seem overly mobile, so not sure what he could do with them

As a Dons fan living in West Fife I don’t think Lennon would be interested in the job. (Though it won’t stop me winding up my Pars supporting kids and Pals with rumours)

Pars fans I know are more worried about Lobban being recalled in January as he has been a star for them this season.

Re a new manager, I wouldn’t be upset by a temporary appointment of Steve Clarke to steady the ship for the rest of this season.

Alternatively, Is Pep still available?

It won't be Raul, he has just joined Real Oviedo.

Someone cross him off the list.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we did look at Clarke to steady the ship in the same way Broon came in

Not against it- he will make us solid if not spectacular and he is used to working with shite

If he were to sign Grant Hanley though….

No chance

He is not uprooting himself from London to move to us

And on the subject of no chance, who the fuck comes up with this shite
