The votes will be in before the Scottish cup final anyway. Besides, the way we are playing the double treble is far from a given.
You are laughable.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Old argument is we have the biggest budgets and finances and I understand we are at a fairly chunky advantage but domestically gaffer has been put under any sort of pressure last 20 months he has swatted it away quite literally.

Historic reasons of double treble and fact he is potentially going to win 3 trophies again means it has to be him . i respect Clarkes few months in job and a great turnaround but gaffer should be a shoe in.

Lenny has came up short against so called smaller teams at times and table reflects that. Ross has done a great job but again its
the second tier and ..may ge wrong but cannot recollect anyone winning MOY from league below.
Warbs won it in 2016 ;)

Did a wee bit of research ..."The Scottish Football Writers' Association Manager of the Year (often called the SFWA Manager of the Year, or simply the Scottish Manager of the Year) award is given to the manager in Scottish football who is seen to have been the best manager of the previous season. The award is voted for by the members of the Scottish Football Writers' Association.

The award was first given in 1987, and was won by Dundee United boss Jim McLean. The award has been won by a manager in the top division of the Scottish football league system in all but one year, 1990, when the award went to Scotland manager Andy Roxburgh."

We've won it 10 times.. Huns have won it 11 times and no other club have won it more that once..

Cardigan has won it 7 times

MON won it 3 times.


Not sure if its a whoosh but Warbs never won it.. :thumbsup:
He won the PFA one :thumbsup:

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.
League, LC, robbed of a SC Final, European football after Xmas and broke a 90 year old defensive record. Not a chance in hell Hughes deserved it, they only got to the final because of the worst decision in the history of Scottish football.
We were terrible under deila until about late December. Some of our European performances under him were appalling despite still somehow managing to still be in Europe after Xmas. I don't think he deserved it.

Give it a rest FFS

We beat both our closest “challengers” in their own middens with 10 men.

When it matters domestically we invariably turn up.

I think we will get it over the line, but at the same time I wouldn't be too surprised if we turned in a shocker of a performance and ended up with egg on our faces either. There's something missing from our team the now. The refs don't help matters.

Collum gave them everything at Ibrox. We still beat them. Our players can step up when it matters in Scotland.

100% correct.

To much doom and gloom and for the point of not trying to sound a smart erse some dont appreciate years gone by and the poor levels we have been at sometimes.

The Motherwell post match thread was a cracker with two people "wishing the season would end". :brickwall:

Not pretty at times this season by FFS we are going to win 6 out of 6 trophies.

Now we have fellow tims pushing Stevie Clarke to be MOY after a few months in Scotland when our own gaffer is about to win double trebles...so much for belief in him.

Some folk IMO dont realise when we have it good.

We should be savouring every moment of this just now. I certainly will once we lift the Scottish Cup.

Another season & another treble.

:rocker:

It's a terrific time to support the Hoops. Don't worry be 😀😀😀😀😀 on International Happiness Day. The prospect of a Double Treble is pure nectar. How our friends south of the river would be gloating if the boot was on the other foot, and how sore it would feel!

Nobody is pushing Clarke for anything but an inability to be objective about anything is what we slag them for.

All for objectivity but saying Clarke deserves it over gaffer simply put doesn't make sense in terms of his achievements this season.

He's taken them from a club that's fighting regulation or there abouts to a club that's challenging for a Euro spot. He's done quite an incredible job with them TBF.

If the question is ‘which manager has got the best out of the resources at his disposal’, the answer would be Clarke, without a doubt.

But being a manager is about more than that. It’s about being a winner, it’s about getting your team over the line, even if they’re not playing well, it’s about winning when all eyes are on you, hoping you fail -the greats have that in their DNA. That’s why Moyes was never going to be a success at Man Utd-he didn’t have ‘winner’s dna’. If Clarke had gone on to win the Scottish Cup he would have been a contender for Manager of the Year, but his team stumbled when it really counted. He couldn’t get them over the line. If Brendan completes a double treble, unprecedented in the history of Scottish football, it would be looked back on as utter madness -and evidence of a deeply disturbing bias-not to have given him the prize.

What was ICT's football like?

Once we had a settled side after Xmas we were playing some very good football, we beat the sheep 4 times including an absolute pasting at CP. Our achievements were miles ahead of Caley's, who shouldn't have even been in a final. 2 trophies and European football after Xmas is about as good as it gets at our level.

He's won sweet fa, to the victor go the spoils. Good luck to Kilmarnock when they try to polish their near attempt at a European qualifying spot at the end of the season, meanwhile we will need bulk orders of silver polish for what Brendan has won for us.
