Huddersfield Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 10 hours ago, Squirrelhumper said: Lee Clark given 3.5yr deal. Clark is a highly knowledgeable coach & probably quite an underrated manager, but he's also completely bonkers. I've known a couple of people that have worked with him & they say that he's prone to flying off the handle, & doesn't cope too well when the job gets stressful. He was certainly one of our more interesting managers of recent times & had us playing some fantastic football for the first part of his tenure. I think he did a solid job at Birmingham when the club were in freefall as well. He divides opinion though, but he ws a really likeable bloke whenever I saw him & I hope he does well.

Pleased to hear that Huddy. Almost everything I've seen so far has been negative but unlike AJ & Locke I'm happy to give him a chance.

A competently run club would have brought in a decent manager on half the wages that McCoist was milking from them, who could in turn have brought in players from the lower leagues, and used some of the young players they had on their books, at a fraction of the cost. When they got into the Championship they could have strengthened. I've lost count of the number of times I've had this conversation with, frankly, brain dead Rangers fans who just couldn't get past the 'he's never a Ranger player' or ' could he handle the pressure of playing at Rangers?' garbage at a time when Rangers were playing Annan, East Stirling and Elgin. Problem with this would have been keeping crowds coming in. signing players from div 1 clubs a the start wouldnt have kept fans on side. It wasnt about quality, it was being seen go still be an attraction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McExpat Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Surprised to see Clark appointed but even more surprised to see him get such a long contract Does anyone know the salary for his contract? Or have a good idea of what it's likely to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Interesting left-field choice. Reminds me of when Motherwell appointed Baraclough. Is there any non-Scottish manager, with no real knowledge of the Scottish game. who's ever been a success in the Scottish game ? Edit : I mean at a 'normal' club, not an OF one.

Not that I know off but Recreation is the only ground I've seen them being sold in. Is the chippy at the back of the Dublin end at cappelowe still open. Last time Hibs were in division 1 it was amazing, the brown sauce was out of this world Tannadice used to have decent pies too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewolf_1980 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 On another note, Killie are 5/1 to beat us tomorrow night. After a decent performance against us at Ibrox...and after we failed to beat Alloa...and after we have suddenly stopped scoring any more than one goal per game...and Killie's form has improved under Jig...and with the added impetus of a 'new manager bounce'... There have been better times to play them, certainly. Rangers' 1/2 odds are ludicrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made enough off your mob from the bookies over the last 4 years to fund my hoagie and video game habit. You'd think they'd learn by now when you play the big teams.

In terms of trophies, taking the Scottish Cup as an example there was Ivan Golac, Valdas Ivanauskas and Paulo Sergio.
