His preffered formation is a 3412 so I do really hope he can coach our midfield and defence how to shut space down properly.

Yes, thats hould be a priority. Sweep away the Kettlewell passive one paced approach and bring some excitement back to get the fans on their feet and some points on the board.

100% hoping we get a bit of a new manager bounce and pick up 3/4 wins before the split.

Absolutely no idea if this will be a success or not. 

However.......

From looking at his managerial record he has worked his way up the youth ranks at some pretty decent clubs in Germany and got to assistant at Stuttgart before getting his first managers gig at Austria Vienna.

You dont get those jobs without having something about you and he has a distinct career progression to fall back on.

Added to the fact its out the box thinking, all the photos/comms today project absolute positivity and no bugger mentioned him through the entire process? Im quite excited to see what he can do!

Lets hope Wimmer's a winner!

Hopefully his assistant manager can stiffen up the defence.

Ive already seen references to "Wimmer loves Koc".

I wonder if the Bois will love him as well!

Maybe this appointment will finally stop folk posting bookies odds on a new manager. Bookies odds tell us fuck all other than what bets are being paced by people who know fuck all.

As for the appointment , its quite incredible how tightly wrapped the club kept this. Like ALL appointments its a gamble. No one ever comes with guarantees. I think he has a hell of a job ahead of him. As I have said before - and I know others don't agree -  I don't rate our squad at all but all the new manager needs to do is stop us ending up 11th / 12th and in the summer we can clear out the huge amounts of dead wood in our enormous squad.

It's an interesting appointment.

It worries me a wee bit though that he'll be learning Scottish football at a point in the season where we need an experienced hand.

It's not a high quality league but it is a tough league to compete in.

Our last two managers guys knew everything about Scottish football and were piss poor.

Thank goodness you've stepped back from that cliff edge.

I was getting worried about you for a bit!

I'm not sure I buy into the "learning Scottish football" thing. Of course, you'll need some insight into how teams line up etc. but you can get up to speed with that quite quicky.

More importantly, there are plenty of people left at the club who can bring him up to speed.

The question for me, as I have mentioned on a few other threads, is can he organise a defence with the players available.
