Locky Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Meh. Dare I say he's got one of the easiest jobs in Scottish football. Credit where its due for their result at the weekend but I'm not exactly impressed that their coasting to the League Two title with their budget. The job certainly done wonders for Barry Ferguson's reputation, but again, they really ought to be winning the Lowland League anyway when he was there. Been shown up as a poor manager everywhere else he's been, particularly now at Alloa. I'll probably reserve judgement on Thomson until he takes a more challenging role.

Either having played with him or been in his company a fair bit. Seems to be a mixed bag, some speak highly while others aren’t fans of his. Doesn’t seem to have a problem with self belief. His academy thing seems to be going well so fair play to the guy in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is one to watch, a very astute focused football minded geek, he is very similar to Robbie. I have nothing to say about him as a person, just Hibby though, kind of messes it up a bit. Yeah i agree , he and his people put hard graft into the grass roots, i am all for it and respect Him for that. Barry Ferguson the same.

I get where your coming from but he seems to have a clear career plan, Rangers youth, to a well run (and financed) league two side, with his ambition to them move through the leagues. Time will tell but I like to hear managers who have that will to win and talks as if just turning up for these big games isn’t enough.

Jambo92 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Seen plenty of these ex players get the hype train over the years and fail when they go up the food chain, Ian Murray, Paul Hartley, Steven Pressely.

Someone should ask him about his time at Coventry. That’ll put his gas at a peep. I was just about to post the same. I coached him at Thistle when he came back up the road from Coventry where he was bullied. He always had a cockiness about him but the Coventry experience certainly brought him back to earth with a bump. He then moved to Hutchie vale and eventually Hibs. He was always talented but what makes me laugh is the hard man reputation he seems to have created for himself. The boy couldn’t fight sleep but always talked a good one.

Saint Jambo Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Rangers is the biggest job he could ever have in football. No imagination to think beyond Scotland. Definitely not the mindset we need at Tynecastle now or ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
