Both Rob MacLean and Chick have said that Stevie Clarke should win the manager of the year even if Brendan wins back to back trebles.

Which is proof positive that a Scottish football pundit can say literally anything and get away with it.

Rob Maclean says Clarke for manager of the year this year on BBC site/column...same Mackean that said after 2 games Dorrans should be in Scotland squad back in Sept/October.

Clarke had done well in what 4/5 months at Killie but ffs Brendan ready to do a first ever in Scottish football double treble......whilst losing 2 domestic games all season so far.

I think Clarke deserves it up to now.
It's been a great five months but to qualify as manager of the year it makes sense that you'd at least have to have been in the job for a season. If Rodgers wins a double treble and doesn't win manager of the year it would be an absolute joke.
If we win a treble, would this season be considered more or less successful than last season? Less points, but European progression...

About 6 weeks back their narrative was he had only been here a few months and couldnt be considered for the Scotland job....that was,of course, when The Cardigan was being pushed for the job

I don't but can't speak for others.
I think since we've been dominating the press have been desperate not to give it to a Celtic manager, Lennon never got it yet McGlynn, Adams, Alan Johnston and McInnes did, Delia deserved it for his first season but John Hughes got it. If Brendan wins the treble again and doesn't win it then it just makes a farce of the whole thing.

I want to see Celtic treated like every other club. I want our matches to be officiated fairly, I want our club to be treated with respect by the media and I want our achievements given due credit. The reason those conditions don't prevail is not because we a 'Big Club', or that we have succeeded through some manner of skullduggery: we are singled out because of our heritage and history. Scotland's Shame is it's centuries old antipathy towards Ireland/Catholicism, and pathetic little gestures like denying Brendan Rogers the acclaim he deserves is another manifestation of that antipathy.

I’ll take that as a yes.

Most of the time no, but a double treble would be unparalleled. I'd like to see our manager recognised for that.

Images of a studiously concentrating Malcolm scrawling 'Bob was hear' and 'FTP' on to Durrant's boots, it was little wonder he couldn't wear them.

Performance level's are neither here nor there to be fair.

Brendan has practically secured 5 trophies in a row. That's the crux of it.

Well this is it...


Maclean in his Beeb column spouts some utter pish (as most scottish journalists do - majority of time). As I pointed out in original post he wanted Dorrans in Scotland team after 2 games then whadda you know he falls of a cliff performance wise and eventually got injured.

Advocaat and Sir Walter of Brown Brogues were pushed constantly for MOY after their massive budgets against all other including us. Clarke has a good few months..not year thats is goo months and groans now that he should get it over a treble chasing gaffer. Doesnt make sense..mind you Scottish media to me rarely have in 30 odd years.

Recognised by who though? If someone else wins they're effectively saying his achievement is lesser.

It's all hypothetical at the moment anyway.

In terms of our overall aims, definitely better. In terms of entertainment, nowhere near as good.

I think since we've been dominating the press have been desperate not to give it to a Celtic manager, Lennon never got it yet McGlynn, Adams, Alan Johnston and McInnes did, Delia deserved it for his first season but John Hughes got it. If Brendan wins the treble again and doesn't win it then it just makes a farce of the whole thing.
I think Hughes did deserve it over deila tbh. To win the Scottish cup, finish third in the spl and qualify for Europe with a team like ict is fantastic.
