Unless I've whooshed myself that's a picture of Robbie Nielsen who forced Eminem's resignations in 2014/15 when Hearts ran away with the Championship - which (as I was saying) makes him a far better option then Eminem.

djchapsticks Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 3 hours ago, StuD said: They do - however I was referring to Dunfermline qualifying for Europe in 2007-8 whilst under the guidance of Stephen Kenny. You know the "disastrous" period where he only got Dunfermline to a Scottish Cup Final and the Challenge Cup Final and managed to get Dunfermline back into the race for survival, only missing out because Gus McPhersons St Mirren team rescued a 3-2 win against Motherwell coming back from 2-0 down. Fine margins, but for all Kenny is deemed a failure in Scotland, he did not too bad during a period when Rangers and Celtic were spending really big money 33 games. 5 wins. Facts don't lie. Irony is that you bleat about 'fake news' yet are trying to somehow spin Kenny's time in Scotland as something it clearly wasn't. No one remembers or frankly cares about beaten cup finalists. They look at results when all is said and done and Kenny had the struggling to stay afloat in the second tier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and the wife bumped into Ally one night all I can say is what a brand new guy when he found out I was a Saints fan he talked highly of us. You do know Ally was on our books as a youngster. The Mad Monk loves us and is a keep fit fanatic. Not saying they will get the job however I would not be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Banjos Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 (edited) With Lambert, Hopkins and Goodwin dropping out, I think Robbie Neilson is the favourite now by some distance. He's in the Jack Ross-mould, his teams entertain (96 goals Hearts scored when they won the league) and he has a point to prove after MK Dons. Most importantly though, he won the Championship and then didn't just thrive in the Premiership, he actually took Hearts into Europe. Iffy interview (apparently) aside, it's hard to see past him.

The Neilson nonsense is funny enough as you've been proven wrong on several occasions. The advocating of Ally McCoist as St. Mirren manager, however, is unforgivable.

Langbank Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I’m sure JR will have advised GS of Neilsons capabilities so if he get it fair enough. None of others mentioned fill me with confidence apart from Irish guy who I know nothing about. Why oh why do we have to settle for guys who are mostly unemployed because of failure, I’m pretty certain our new manager will not be one touted by media.

You want to appoint a management duo who couldn't get Sevco out of the Championship and a manager who got paid £3/4m plus a bonus to get Sevco promoted from the 4th tier of Scottish football. Going through the leagues could have been an opportunity for Rangers to use some of their U20s and develop them but instead McCoist signed guys like Templeton and Black from Hearts, Jon Daly the Dundee United captain, Kevin Kyle, Dean Shields etc to buy the 4th tier title! In almost 4 years at the helm who did McCoist bring through and develop and improve from their academy?

Wouldn't me my first choice or even a last choice. He talks a good game but if he can't get Rangers promoted from the championship or win the diddy cup with all those resources at his disposal I wouldn't be too keen on him trying to stop us getting relegated never mind achieving Tony's Dream of premiership glory in 2019. St Ally, feck that, St Ricky would be a better choice than him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The budget differential would have been massive. Stop overthinking it. Neilson has proven before he can do better than those with the bigger cash spend.
