DA Baracus Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 The guy who won manager of the year lost three league games and has a budget bigger than all of the other teams, except one, combined. Said manager signed 15 players over the season for a total of £24.95M over the season (according to Wiki). They won their league by 7 points. They won the league last season. Stirling Albion lost 5 games this season in the league. Doubt they had the highest budget. They signed 12 players for a total of £0 in transfer fees, 5 of whom were loans. They won their league by 11 points. Last season they finished 7th Pars lost a single league game all season and won the league by 14 points. After Falkirk we probably had the biggest budget but Kelty, Queen of the South and Airdrie weren't massively far behind (just two of those teams would have been easily more than our budhet I imagine). We signed 9 players, 6 on loan, spending a total of £0 on fees. Last season we finished 9th and got relegated. But aye, of course the Celtic manager was manager of the season.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know that every year whichever Celtic/Sevco manager wins the league will win the manager of the year award. Pish state of affairs but sadly true. I'd imagine at least two thirds of the folk who vote for it are fans of either bigot side who have zero clue about anything outside the Premiership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think the fans have any say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinnyPar Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) The official award that McPake was put forward for is definitely by other managers as McPake said himself in the Si Ferry interview be voted for Ange.

Matty Todd is magnificent and we will get at least £7million for him once he wraps the title next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Without Falkirk and McGlynn I was a wee bit worried about James McPake not having someone to make his blood boil. Fortunately Jim Goodwin will be there and will get both barrels from Mr Angry of Dunfermline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Celtic fan originally (I think) then said he'd 'converted' to Dundee when he was with us. He's very past club orientated though so I'd imagine it's now Hibs, Dundee & Dunfermline above Celtic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
