capt_oats Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 30% won ratio as a manager. And McCall's win ratio at Bradford (in League 2 in England) was 34.59% Craig Brown's win ratio at Preston was 33.96% McGhee's win ratio at Brighton was 28.78% (though he had a much better % at other clubs prior to Brighton) Dickov would by no means be my first choice as manager but a 30% win ratio (at Championship/League 1 level) is actually comparable with some of the better appointments in recent years.

Gadgey Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I'm getting increasingly disheartened as each day passes by and another worrying name (like Dickov) gets thrown in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellfan1984 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Little or no knowledge of Scottish football for a start Why does that matter. If the managers know the Scottish game they can be blinded by reputation, which would see McDonald and McManus seen as a class above anyone else in their squad. We need a manager who can spot our problems and fix them. Doesn't matter if that person is a former player, a guy who knows who the right back at Queen's Park is like or a guy who first found out a team called Motherwell existed when their agent said to them they had applied for the job.

weeyin Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 This week was the first week any interviews were being conducted. Even if they have the short list down to 5 and manage to schedule one interview per day, there was no way an appointment would be made until next week at the earliest. Even if they found the guy they wanted today, it takes a few days to sort out contracts etc. No need to panic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 As a new manager do you want to be appointed before or after a Celtic game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but just feel we need someone like McGhee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacol Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I'm not sure of the need for someone with "knowledge " of Scottish Football but I certainly think we require someone who understands the level of the Scottish Premiership something that Baraclough didn't seem to do.

weeyin Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I still think Baraclough's problem was not understanding the general shiteyness of a team who had managed to finish 2nd in the previous season and seemed to give up the following one. Something I find hard to fathom myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamH Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Baraclough didn't exactly improve the team despite having money to spend so I don't think he simply under-estimated how shite the team was. Despite all his claims about what he was going to do, he was a poor manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postiejim Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 If it's to be Dickov then so be it ,good footie career but his managerial career isn't very inspiring.

ropy Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Did he play at Fir Park for the Scotland boys team when they went on to lose to the Nigerian mens team in the final? If so, almost one of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
