Coventry Saint

People wondering if this means Brown would retire from playing clearly haven't watched Aberdeen recently.

You're fine, apart from the 'quite literally' part.

First the technical issues with a third-party payment platform and now this.

Honestly what even is happening here right now. I'm very confused.

That Gogic-Power-Brown midfield triangle though.

No, really, f**k off.

Yeah, I was being slightly facetious.

That's a big blow.

Absolutely livid if we go into the game tomorrow with this not done, tbh. We all thought it was hilarious when Aberdeen appointed Glass. Can't believe we're the ones having to suffer.

Hadn't heard that. What was the deal?

Just went looking for a pic of Basher... For some reason the 5th image search result is... Erm...

I meant the Lambert bit, tbf

Where have you heard that? Not doubting you, just clamouring for positive info.

A Cinch top flight with McGhee, Hughes and Mackay would basically only require Lennon to get a gig before peak Cinch is achieved. Elsewhere:

Partly true. I also just wanted to prompt some debate as I want to move on from Goodwin asap once he's out the door, and I knew Lennon would provoke a response.

Fair enough. And yeah the way that is worded is uncannily similar to where we were. I don't feel as scunnered by this as I did about Ross, though not quite sure why. I just felt Jim 'got' the club, and his recruitment was, by and large, very successful. That'll be the thing we miss the most: Jim's ability to sell us to players. That, and his beautiful face. I actually think the timing is ok; our squad is easily good enough for top six. We're actually a decent prospect for a new manager: safe for this season, lots of time to assess the squad, work on PCAs, get extensions handed out to the right players, etc.

Thread needs a poll, btw. This is what happens when @Ludo*1 isn't in charge.

True. Not many players get to rack up 68 appearances for Coventry City.

Why? Genuine question. There might be a dearth of options. We never seem to attract the caliber of candidates that we assume we will.

If Jack Ross won't take it - and I don't think he will - what about, and bear with me here... Danny Lennon?

It was basically Alex Miller from us to Hibs in the mid 80s. We've ended more managerial careers than I care to count.

I'm sure McManus has indicated in the past he has no interest in being a manager.

Nah, not for me. Not sure fresh ideas are needed; we don't need to over complicate things here.

Behave, I'd say it's all entirely factual.

I dunno, we have a good, mostly balanced squad right now. My biggest beef with Ross was he did almost no work in terms of the squad for the following season. McGinn was a bright spot, but Jim Kellermann, FFS! Its all in the past, though, and given that I don't want our season to go of the rails, Ross seems the best immediate option. The problem, of course, being that once you value yourself at a certain level, it's very difficult to take a step down. Unemployment might appear better to Jack Ross than taking a backwards step, in terms of club size and salary.
