Scottish Football

Hes totally out of touch with modern football, hes not managed for a while since a few really poor jobs he did most recently in his career.

At the end of day, Celtic might go on to do well but their team is built on resources well beyond anything else up there.

What is this nonsense about "knowing the club?" Its just generic cliches and rubbish.

Why dont all clubs just appoint former legends? Surely we should appoint David Dunn next as he knows the club, what it means to the supporters and whatever similar rubbish you want to throw at it? Rangers missed a trick not appointing Gazza.

I couldn't care less if a someone could point to Blackburn on a map, name the Spoons in town, recognise Mill Hill station, has an Uncle Jack tattoo or dreamed of being Damien Duff growing up. They can either do a job or they can't. How much could JDT have told you about the above before coming here? What about De Zerbi and Brighton? Thomas Frank and Brentford? I don't think Frank Lampard spent two weeks in the Premier Inn in Coventry immersing himself in 2 Tone and the site of Highfield Rod either.

some time a person fits a club. I haven't said that he is long term appointment but at this stage I think its a sensible appointment

No its not just generic cliches and rubbish but something actually knowing the club and being a former player actually can help.

I haven't said every club but for someone like Celtic or Rangers I actually think it helps. 

rest of it is simple pointless childish comments about Dunny and Gazza

Of course its generic cliches. O'Neill hasnt even been at the club for 20 years, he hasnt been a manager at all for 6 years. 

I dont see how the Dunn comparison is any different. If Ismael was to be sacked, he fits the exact same criteria that you are championing at other clubs.

just ignored other points that its suits some clubs and not at others

Why does it "suit" some clubs to hire based purely on nostalgia?

I have told you earlier, the problem again is you accepting my viewpoint 

[Mattyblue]

So which clubs does it suit then? And why?

He's asking you to explain your viewpoint but you just keep repeating it. 

 

[wilsdenrover]

How can someone know a club when no club ever stays the same?

[roversfan99]

I cant refuse to accept a viewpoint that hasnt been explained.

Cos I think a club like Rangers need a head coach who understand what Rangers or Celtic is and what it means to the fans, local area and just how big either club really is. Whether its a former player or fan of the club. Even if the head coach isn't a former player on their staff is a good wise move

Martin O'Neil being appointed at Celtic with other former Celtic players appointed on their staff seems a logical move given the mess around Rodgers leaving.

On Rangers, Rohl has appointed but he has said he will bring in a coach with Rangers background 

[Mattyblue]

So say you didn’t play for them or support them but you really understand how big they are, the local area and what they mean to the fans, can you have the job?
