Two pages of the manager thread on RM - names mentioned include Michael Laudrup, Rafa Benitez (!), Guus Hiddink and...Jimmy Calderwood.

They live on another planet.
A combination of Arteta and Vieira is generating some debate that includes multi-syllabic words. Aye, Vieira...who wouldn't want to leave New York for Govan?

I think what's amazing about their thinking is the idea that many of the proposed new managers might be considered "too risky"--as if they just needed to beckon staunchly and these guys would fall over themselves to join. I think the risk might be in the other direction.

Edit: Now Bielsa and van Bronckhorst being touted. That's so far beyond parody it's...I don't even...

I think a fair few of them genuinely believe there will be a queue of talented coaches willing to torch their careers for a club tie and a space in the Albion car park.

Apparently Vladimir Weiss is destroying his reputation with the peepil byt tweeting that Pedro should have had more time. And I think we can all get behind his sentiments.

Why would those guys leave the relative comfort of their roles with the Man City group to take over a basket case like Sevco? Viera has a pretty cushy job and could be in contention for a decent EPL job soon enough if he plays his cards right. Arteta might eventually decide he wants to manage a club. Surely it would make sense for him to move to Girona where he can work with Man Citys reserves?

Because it's Rangerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs!

That is how they think. And yet...and yet: doesn't it occur to them that if they could get a manager at that level now, then they could have gotten him last time? But instead they appointed the fifth best manager in Qatar because (fill in the blank)?

Brother Pedro


worse undercover ever

had to go straight to the WATP and no surrenders after getting humped by the 4th best team in Luxenbourg

all he was left with was trying to start a fight with anybody within a 20 meters radius to try and appease the mouth breathers

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Huns pull out a decent replacement.

Rodgers has raised the profile of the SPL significantly and any incoming Huns boss isn’t going to be expected to do better than 2nd for the next few years.

If there wasn’t all that calamitous nonsense that goes with the club in general they would be an attractive proposition for a manager wanting to rebuild their career now that most of the EPL will be paying big bucks for the top managers.

I'm gutted. He was obviously going to be a terrible manager and he fully lived up to expectations.

Regrettably, I was thinking this might be the case too.

Wouldn't be surprised if they've already sounded folk out.

Can't see it.

Coming to Scotland and winning hee haw isn't going to be a CV highlight for any decent calibre manager.

If they had some reasonable amount of cash that could be a fair assessment

However ...

But there is all that calamitous nonsense and that's the reason they got hold of a fourth rate carpetbagger from the middle east

If they couldn't source a decent manager then how will they do it now when even more money has been pissed against the wall ?

They might have someone in mind but it'll likely be someone desperate for a job.

No decent manager's going to risk their reputation.

The game up here is considered a joke down south.

If anything, you hear it being slagged more because of how dominant we are compared to everyone else.

Brendan might have cast a few more eyes our way, but he hasn’t raised the profile of the SPFL.

Wouldn't shock me if they go for a caretaker such as McLeish for a bit then a 'name' like De Boer or Moyes closer to season ticket renewal time.

There will always be decent managers looking for jobs. Gary Rowett applied for the job earlier this year and would have been an enormous upgrade on Pedro. There are also good managers operating at lower levels like Jack Ross, for whom a move to Sevco would, financially, be a potential life-changer. But knowing them, they’ll go for a McLeish or Billy Davies-type.

Lennon won multiples trophies, got to the last 16 with a win over one of the best teams of this generation and had a pretty good transfer record and ended up at Bolton.

No one with any ambition or any realistic hope of rebuilding their career is going near the huns, where it would need a miracle to achieve even a third of that.

come on they would expect for them to win it next year at latest

99% of them was certain that Pedro was going to win it for them before the season, they even had some footie gossip writers on their side

isn't going to be any different next summer
