His stats filled the gap 100% in Rooneys injury absence. Cannot be argued & as such was a successful loan Link to comment

Tord31 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 It will be a breath of fresh air having a new manager this summer. McInnes would have had another summer of re-signing ex players, a couple of spfl bosmans and a couple of loan punts from russ richardson's travels Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Criminal if we aren’t offering Campbell some sort of a deal. No brainer, easily make money from him. Maybe have to entice him him via a release clause of say £2m or so but still a decent profitable deal if we could risk it Link to comment

Tord31 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I think this summer is not the worst one to be behind with our recruitment. There should be plenty bargains to be had this summer as there will be a lot of cuts across football. It's also exciting to allow the new manager to sign 8 or so new players. It might be nice to have some foreign players in the mix too after 8 years of racism Link to comment

Which means we're at the behest of our scouting system to find 2/3 of a new squad. Can't see any problems there. Link to comment

A new manager (and new assistant and new coach and new DOF) might have a few in his own blackbook; there own Wes Burns etc They also might have their own network to bounce names off etc. I wouldnt think Richardson is signing anyone this summer Link to comment

We are fucked if we’re relying on McInnes & Richardson finding us 10 players to improve us. It’s been steady regression since the Cup Final 4 years ago. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 McInnes and Richardson will pick none of the new players. Missing out on O'Donnell, Campbell and Findlay is worth it for the above. Link to comment

If you’re saying McInnes is 100% away in the summer, then I think we’d be best putting him out the door now or very soon to give the new man the post split (minimum) to see what he has & what he needs. If (when) we lose to Celtic, & don’t beat Killie at home then 3rd is absolutely gone. Link to comment

If anyone can be bothered to find the date from last year you can bet we'll delay by a month or more this time Link to comment

sooth_stander Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Surely to fuck, we’ll be appointing a DoF before a new head coach anyway, so no reason why a DoF can’t be appointed now, and deals for new players can be agreed as soon as? McInnes is either gone in the summer or over the next few weeks, and he knows this. If appointing a DoF now makes the remainder of the season “unsettling” for DM and the players, tough shit, 4th looks like it’s where we will end up anyway. Link to comment

Appoint the DoF now. Get the recruitment started for players and the head coach/manager. We don't need a new manager in the building to evaluate what is needed. It's blatantly obvious from the outside. Link to comment

I think the fee will be more like £400k to £500k (which starts to be a material amount i'd rather give to the new manager) Remember Fergie was like £235k or something and had only been at Hamilton for five mins. Campbell has been at Well for 10 years Link to comment

I'm not up to speed with the Belgian set up but you'd expect him to be a decent coach before Martinez is letting him loose with that Belgium squad. Whether he would have the mentality to be the main guy remains to be seen. Certainly clocking up the media time on Scottish football recently to get his face about so might be some legs in it.

Their relationship obviously goes back to Wigan days, so Martinez must’ve seen something in him back then. Comes across well in the media (that’s no barometer to his coaching ability I know). Is he “too nice”? As you say, he’s been on Sportscene & Sky quite a bit as of to raise his profile here. Who knows, the Tims might have an eye on him for a role at Parkhead next season.
