SM Sheffield Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Alan Irvine being mentioned and linked on the BBC Scotland website. Quite possibly the worst manager ever in Sheffield Wednesday’s entire history. And there have been lots of bad ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboAndrew Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 2 hours ago, Italian Lambretta said: Warnock is such a likeable character If he has indeed met ann budge today then i think the job will be his. I have faith Ann isn't recruiting the person she most wants to be friends with. A manager from England with a ton of promotions and getting the best from an underpaid and underperforming team. Now that may convince her. He did say the only challenge that may tempt him is to break the old firm dominance. To get a manager that gets that is a big thing. I'm not 100% convinced he is our man though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but he’s experienced in Scottish football. Player, coach, manager and pundit. I’m not saying you’re wrong in any way. I just think what she said is open to interpretation. Given the supposed interviews we’ve had it does seem like her choice of words wasn’t great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if it involves Naismith doing his coaching badges and apprenticeship over the next 3 years. Warnock represents the ideal model of 'big name' manager. Vast experience at high levels in England. Genuine willingness to view Hearts as a different challenge. Wont be trying to use it as a stepping stone. Safe pair of hands, without limited ideas. Fully on board. This. The lowest risk/highest potential gain appointment we could get given the apparent options.

I just assumed his style of football, dinosaur reputation and liking for big men up front were things Levein got castigated for so he wouldn't be a popular appointment. As a motivator he seems to have it and, most importantly, if he really does really want this challenge that would be a significant step up from Levein when he was originally appointed by Budge.

I don’t give one shiny shit if a couple of teams had a couple of games in hand against us, in the time after total twats in our fanbase started fannying on about “style” rather than focusing on results we’ve gone from 2nd in the league with a manager with one of our best set of percentage stats in our history to just off the bottom of the league. Our fans need to stop being millennial ***** snowflakes and when we win, be happy, and when we keep winning be happier and when we are second in the ****ing league be happy. Everyone needs to wake the **** up and stop being all Hibs. Edited November 16, 2019 by Jammy T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy T Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Don’t know if I’m the only one but I’m getting really bored with the manager chat. I don’t give any credence to what any of the papers are reporting it’s all guess work, hearsay and likely leaks from agents on their clients behalf. I’m not convinced any of the candidates mentioned have been interviewed or are even in the running. I still think the SD will arrive before the manager and at that stage I may pay a bit more attention. Anyone losing the plot over what the papers are reporting need to calm down, they’re not much more informed than most on here from what I can tell.

The vast majority of Scottish players and managers believe in the eternal supremacy of the OF, because that's what they have been hearing in the media their whole lives. When they play against one of them, they are beaten in their heads before they step onto the pitch. I'd like a manager who thinks they are nothing more than football teams and gives them no respect at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
