You could well be right. He might be the German Tony Watt.

Might not need to. The only official explanation was "major family issues". That could be anything from a sick relative to a misbehaving kid to a rocky marriage. All of which could be resolved by now.

No way Palace will take a punt on a manager with zero EPL experience, and more importantly, zero experience of rescuing an EPL team. Far too much money involved.

Or how excellent our recruitment process was.

He'd be ideal. After they're relegated.

I thought they were looking to bring in Thomas Frank.

When Robinson left us, he openly admitted he had no idea how to turn things around. When he left St Mirren he had no idea how to turn around their slide. He has no idea how turn around Aberdeen's slide. The game and the players have moved on. He has not.

McGlynn's "proper manager" approach earned Falkirk a 0 - 0 at Fir Park. I think he's a great fit at Falkirk, but have no idea how he'd fare at Fir Park. His record at Hearts was poor and at Livi was fair to middling.

Maybe. Maybe not. Too many intangibles that make players and managers a good fit even from year to year at the same club.

Robbo though, eh?

No.

Given the 2 completely different contexts, yes.

Robbo and Crags continuing to work their magic at Aberdeen.

We might need to wait until January for that.

Decent performance and 3 unbeaten on the trot. A draw probably a fair result.

Still haven't won a match in that shirt. Ponder that, and take your pick...

I haven't really seen much of Utd this season, so based on that lack of knowledge and insight I'm predicting a win.

No argument he was great for us, but I still think we got a level from him that he might struggle to repeat. He came to the perfect environment for him to succeed and we were the beneficiaries. Of course, I'd love to see him hit those levels again at Swansea or elsewhere.

Maybe. Or maybe we got the best out of him with those specific team mates playing in that specific system. He wasn't exactly on fire when we signed him.

Only the auld yins.

Very true. If we find a way to get players to their peak and then flog them, it's a great model.

You missed Sarge.

Bit of a mixed bag really. Turnbull was doing fine at Celtic until he got injured. He established himself at Cardiff then picked up another bad one and has struggled every since. Max Johnston won a national cup and two league titles after he left us. No idea why he chose the car crash that is Derby County after that, but was another one who was hampered by injury after he had become a regular starter. Miller has been picking up quite a few minutes and made a decent number of starts at Udinese, but the team as a whole has struggled this season. Welsh has been a standout at Swansea. I said last season I thought we had seen peak Watt and peak Just and while I'd have been delighted to keep them it was excellent business cashing in on the pair.

Do linesman even award pens any more? I think, at most, they might ask VAR to look. Last thing they want is to make an actual decision.

You think we've had a bad run, I see Lennon Miller was a starter at the weekend in their 5 - 2 defeat to the men in claret and amber. Udinese's last 8 games have been L L L L L L D L
