Spot on chaddy

Scottish football isn’t like any other league in the world, it’s about a minimum of 4 games a year, politics and religion. You don’t have to be a former player, manager or fan, but it certainly helps.

This is what I said on my first post on this topic, it seems to be getting lost ☝️

But he had never had any actual affiliation with the club. He didnt "know the club" based on the point I am making about this need to prioritise someone who has played for or managed a club prior.

He didnt win all them trophies because he had been a fan as a kid.

How can you not have an ‘Affiliation’ with the club you’ve always supported?

By affiliation, I am obviously referring back to the initial argument that a former player/manager shouldnt be automatically preferred purely due to nostalgia.

Loads of poorer European leagues similar to the SPL have 4 fixtures against each team due to the league being smaller. I am sure lots also have strong religious links. Its irrelevant to the manager anyway, the job is the same, to win football matches.

You keep digging 99 🤣 

We'll agree to disagree.

Based on merit and current ability rather than nostalgia and cliche? A really unusual idea from me.
