His European record was good though, including a first ever win for us in Italy, but his fall outs with Baz Fez and Fernando Ricksen were his downfall. That, and signing keech like Karl Svensson, Libor Sionko, Lionel Letizi and Filip Sebo (last minute Aberdeen winner apart...) He did sign the legend that is Sasa Papac so he gets partial credit for that. Also a stat that became a staple of Ian Crocker's commentary for years to come. 'Sebo's on, we're takin' the piss.......'

Och Aye Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Alex McLiesh at Motherwell when he started signing players. Spent more more money in one close season than Tommy McLean got in 8/9 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gala Tartan Army (Borders) Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Vogts for Scotland. I was told by a mate of a player he called up that Vogts' first words at training to him were 'hello, and what position do you play?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent more more money in one close season than Tommy McLean got in 8/9 years. I seriously considered Mcleish for honourable mention. His signings were awful, but after spending a long time thinking he was just the luckiest manager in football, I've conceded that he must have some managerial qualities. Not signing players mind you. Probably always managing to move on before his reputation is damaged irreparably by his signings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably been discussed to death on other parts of this forum? but I was always a defender of Vogts based on a decent competitive record. I think he was undermined and turned into a figure of fun by the media long before the wheels really came off. Burley was similar IMO, although there's a lot of innuendo about his personal issues. Like PLG at Rangers and I'm sure many others, they just didn't get the easy ride from the media you'd get as a former old firm player for example.....

adamntg Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Vogts was a complete disaster. 5-0 to France, 6-0 to Netherlands, 2-2 with the the Faroes, 3-0 to Hungary, Austria and god knows who else. Caps for Robbie Stockdale, Scott Dobie, Gareth Williams and my Gran. Managing to alienate Davje Weir and Christian Dailly. He was an unmitigated disaster.

Marky Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 From a St. Mirren point of view, in my entire 40 years watching the team, I would only class Davie Hay, John Coughlan, Tommy Craig and Ian Murray as terrible managers. Can't even really think of anyone else I would even class as bad. Tony Fitz probably ought to fit the bill but can't bring myself to say anything bad about the guy.

I was just replying to the ridiculous argument that my opinion on an Aberdeen manager should be formed because someone on an internet message board keeps on telling me that's the way it should be. Skovdahl got Aberdeen to 2 cup finals and into Europe. McGhee was a khunt. End of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 99/00 Aberdeen team had the indignity of being annihilated by John Barnes' Celtic team - 5-0 at Pittodrie, 7-0 at Celtic Park, 6-0 at Pittodrie, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
