Once I tagged you, I realised that you already answered why not. However, surely as an up and coming manager, I club like hearts would be the logical next step for him. What are the 2 strikes against him you mentioned? See post above, 2 sendings off, both v Rangers, both for sectarian language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruickie's Moustache Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 5 hours ago, Jamhammer said: I think, because he was so competitive and passionate as a player we, including me expected that to translate into an exciting young manager who would get rid of the slow, passive, ponderous football we’ve been watching under Levein and RN Sadly it seems to be ingrained now. He seems, after games to just accept the effort and lack of fight Agree that those were the positives. While we can all point to his inexperience, you have to wonder what the players are thinking? You are in a cup semi against a team that you have just played, so you know exactly what's coming. Yet, once again, we were second to every loose ball on Sunday. The difference in desire was obvious. Only a few in Maroon seemed to be going for it. If the players can't motivate themselves to be up for a bit of silverware when you already know its a poor Aberdeen in the Final then it doesn't really matter who the manager is. While I accept we don't have the same skill level as T'Rangers, I can't see any excuse for not busting a gut. It doesn't take Pep or whoever to tell players to concentrate for 90 minutes and challenge for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 1 minute ago, Paolo said: Cathro didn’t as the main man. He was regarded as some sort of coaching wonderkid, so it was a fair enough punt for us - had he not been touted for the Rangers job prior too? There are certain times a punt is acceptable, Levein was hot off the press with Robbie - a young coach he'd helped on his way. Bad as it turned out, I genuinely can't grudge the club for giving Cathro a shot - I do think the way it was handled should have been better - could Levein had stepped in with Cathro as his #2 and then stepped back in the summer? Robbie left midseason, so this could have worked. Get Cathro bedded in, reviewing the squad he was about to inherit etc. Instead, he went in at the deep end and it went tits up. (I'm not saying my suggestion would have ended any better, but it would have at least allowed him to bed himself in and get familiar with everyone before taking the reigns.

The Lowland League manager chat is pretty funny. Not like he was a Scotland coach with Clarke or coach with with the Hearts team first or 50 caps Hall of Famer or anything. If Hibs had appointed Neilson before he got his first Hearts gig we really would have taken the piss though wouldn’t we? That worked out not too bad on the whole and Naismith will do fine too if he’s given time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lizard Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Since the very low point of Celtic at home , I have turned around a bit . The games since then have been very different types of matches to each other and they have done okay to really well in them Rangers at Ibrox was a gutsy narrow defeat to a better team Livingston at home was a tough nut to crack with all their players defending Rangers at Hampden was a really good first half but eventually Rangers clicked and we were broken down Motherwell away was a good old fashioned ding dong against a team of absolute cloggers They have adapted well to the different challenges and they deserve credit for that . Keep this up and we could have a decent season . Humble pie being prepared as I speak , and oven being brought up to temperature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
