Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Taking over at Aberdeens #1 football side Cove Rangers, replacing his father in law I believe. Good luck to him, Dundee certainly suffered once he left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsalldothebeattie Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Great job for him. Done excellently with Alloa in that division feel he will do a similar job with Cove. All the best Sir Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A wehatethehibs Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Hopefully the first step on a road to managerial redemption. I still hold out the faint hope that either Elvis or Sir Paul can return to be Hearts manager one day. That was my hope the day they left the club.

Newton51 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Hopefully goes well for him to rebuild his stock. Shame for the previous manager who had a heart condition and moved upstairs to director of football. Sounds familiar ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, they didn’t have the overall quality of squad to take that hit. That was basically 80% of their goals supply gone. But the manager always takes the blame because due to their sale he’s had about £50k more in his budget than St Johnstone who finished 6th as though that type of money would make hee haw difference. He’s a good manager and a good guy, hope he’ll mount a comeback. Phenomenal if he could do for cove what he did for both Alloa and Dundee in winning promotions and putting the clubs in the highest league positions than they’d been in for years.

rudi must stay Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Good luck to him But with Ferguson manager of Kelty Hearts and now Hartley I think it maybe shows clubs aren't taking a punt on Scottish Managers, which is bad for our game. Both can do an awful lot better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phenomenal if he could do for cove what he did for both Alloa and Dundee in winning promotions and putting the clubs in the highest league positions than they’d been in for years. Dundee last season had an average weekly salary bill some 15k a week higher than St Johnstone. This was also larger than Kilmarnock and again placed them in the top 6 in relative terms for budget. The Hemmings and Stewart team also finished bottom six in 2015/16 under Hartley and exited both cups early. Again this side had a significantly higher budgetary advantage over St Johnstone, Ross County and ICT who all finished above them. He left a terrible mess at Falkirk, who had to completely rebuild their squad mid season because Hartley signed so many duds. There's a reason that he's having to restart his managerial career in league 2 on what sounds like a favour from an in law. Great player for Hearts and because of that we should all wish him well. But he's a million, million miles away from even being granted an interview for the Hearts job whenever the vacancy next arises. https://www.statista.com/statistics/547202/average-annual-first-team-player-salaray-football-clubs-scottish-premiership/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boag1874 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Loved him to bits as a player but he's left Falkirk in an absolute state, massively responsible for them getting relegated with no academy & a load of wasted cash on horrific signings, the Falkirk fans that I know absolutely hate the guy. Wish him well but wouldn't want him anywhere near us in a million years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aich E Eh Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Not really arsed about his managerial career but god, we could do with a player like him in our team right now. A central midfielder that bursts forward and scores goals. Even a Colin Cameron. I'm quite disappointed that we're not looking for someone like that.

The box to box midfielder is currently out of fashion in the modern game. Not too many examples at the top level that I can think of anyway or even at Scottish Premiership level. Midfielders tend to either now be either possession retaining, tactical breaking up play defensive types or alternatively advanced playmaker.
