Hampden Demolition Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Looks like he’s about to be sacked from Stoke. Connections with Savage so would imagine he will be touted for us after a few more defeats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could probably afford to pay him close to half that if we were sure he was the right guy. His management team are already here so that would save on pay-offs.

Gorgie_Rules Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Those turning their nose up at him, it would be interesting to hear who they think would be an improvement. Every time Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen sack a manager they are linked with a few attractive (usually unrealistic names). The end appointment is usually underwhelming. Alex Neil is still a young coach but has experienced a lot in the game. Promotions with Hamilton, Norwich and Sunderland. Arguably his stock is still higher than Scottish football, he’d still walk into a job the upper ends of League 1 in England. If Naisy keeps suffering the same cloud and lack of optimism from the support as Neilson did then we’d be mad not to consider him into the new year.

Aye, a 6 month deal that involves him moving house to a job that pays multiples less than he was earning before sounds ideal.... He'll need to held back while he counts his pay off for that opportunity! This type of post just highlights the gulf between ambition and fantasy.
