It's fine to offer coaching roles to every other tom dick and harry! If anyone deserved another years contract and a coaching role, it was Skacel!

I'm more interested in getting this season over the line with a trophy. I'll look at the business done with players over the summer and I'll probably be happy to see how that pans out for a while. The point is, its been very obvious for a long while that CL isn't going anywhere and still has the trust of the players and the board. While that's the case I'm happy for him to continue building.

How many players do we need is the big question. If Souttar and Djoum go there’s two senior players out and both will be difficult to replace. We still don’t have a left back or decent cover. We’ve got a number of aging players Berra the most notable of that contingent, we’re woefully short of creativity in the middle of the park and have a ridiculous amount of fringe players none look ready to step up. And we’ve got countless youth players coming in and out of the club. If CL does go and I still think it’ll be his decision with a gentle nudge from AB a new manager is going to rip that squad up and start again. If CL remains are we going to continue with his long ball to Uche style in which case the fans will turn very quickly into next season if that style is getting the same results as now and then what...a new man comes in and is left with CLs squad!

I know this question isn't for me but i think these are the 5 we should be concentrating on. 2 strikers (quick players that actually get a buzz off putting the ball in the net) 2 Creative midfielders that also like to score goals. 1 winger with pace Once that's in place, we can look at how the defence is looking. I think we're better off than most in that area. We need another left back but i'd like to see Garuccio get a run of games once he's fit.

That's heartbreaking (no pun intended) Not anywhere near being a good manager anymore. For reasons if anyone is being honest will already know. He can stay for 5 years. He'll still not beat Celtic or Rangers at Hampden and will retire still never having won a trophy. Sucking the oxygen out the club he loves. Sad.

People forget how atrocious our league system is, it promotes negativity and monotony, lose a game.....never mind we'll be playing again in a month. That's not how top level competition should be imo. We'll be decent next season, I've no doubt about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
