I think they paid out, I’m sure interim is settled after 10 matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASTA Mick Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 It doesn't matter who they get as another rebuilding job is needed. The third in as many seasons. They let Warburton bring an entire new team in for the 16/17 season. They let Pedro do they same for this season. I'm not sure they made a good signing between them. The fans don't have the patience to let a manager build a team to try and compete but demand instant results which leads to players like Barton and Alves coming in.

That's a fair summary but the board are also culpable with respect to both wanting instant results and sanctioning the buying of some utter diddies.

sbcmfc Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I like the linked story... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43789925 ”Murty doing a good job - says Celtic fan” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Och Aye Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Aye top job which surely puts to bed any delusion that Derek McInnes is a good manager. Dons should be way ahead points wise of Graham Murty's Rangers. If McInnes loses the two old Firm games coming up his job must be up for question. Having said that I hope Derek gets the Ibrox job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Board have been fucking it up since League 2. We overspent on too many Premier League players instead of just buying what was needed and putting in a playing style and bringing on the young players. Money could and should have been saved during the lower league seasons and we would have a solid base to build on now. We may even have found some sellable assets doing it that way. Instead we tried to buy instant success to pander to the idiotic impatient cretins. Until we get a board that's got the balls to give a manager time and ignore the phone in half wits we can't progress any further than where we are just now.

I mind McCoist boasting in interviews about signing "Hearts' best player, Motherwell's best player and Killie's best player". As you say, the smart move was to build a philosophy and style of play throughout the club. A few Championship level players would've supplemented their young players and given them the protection from the lower league haddies, enabling them to play. Instead they signed Fran Sandaza and Kevin Kyle on huge wages and developed very few young players and, by most accounts, played terrible football.

Apparently Kyle had a figure in his head for what he wanted when he went into the negotiations. "We" asked him how much he wanted and he said a figure well beyond what he actually wanted and we just gave him it. He couldn't believe it.

That sounds very similar to the same story that gets trotted out every so often but I think started with Seth Johnson going into Peter Risdale's office to sign for Leeds. "The legend goes that Johnson, earning around £5,000 a week at Derby County, went into negotiations with Leeds chairman Peter Ridsdale hoping for an increase to around £13,000 a week. Ridsdale, however, offered £30,000, and then immediately upped that to £37,000 when his opening gambit was met with stunned silence from Johnson."
