Tattie36 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Ludicrous decision. Imagine if we go up in the playoffs or if Rangers pip Celtic to the title or even win the Europa League. I wouldn’t even have had Postecoglou in the top 3. Campbell, Hartley, Thomson and even Neilson or Murray have done arguably more without the massive budgetary and “other” advantages. Winning a two horse race isn’t exactly a huge achievement is it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLichtie86 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Is Arbroath TV coverage of next season's home matches included in the season ticket ?I dont think there will be much Arbroath TV next season.The lifting of the restrictions for screening games at 3pm on a Saturday ends after this season. Will be able to show friendlies and possibly midweek games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning a two horse race isn’t exactly a huge achievement is it?Ian Murray and Kevin Thomson? One has Airdrie second in League 1 whilst they’ll likely have a budget that should see them there.Whilst Thomson romped away with the League 2 title for Kelty as they clearly had the biggest budget in the league. In fact Hartley has done the exact same. Campbell I’ll give you but the other 3 have achieved exactly what they should’ve done this season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree that they have achieved what was expected but their budget advantage wasn’t anywhere near what Rangers and Celtic have. To reward a guy who wins a two horse race that hasn’t been won by another team for near on 40 years is a joke. At the start of the season Celtic had no less than a 50% chance of winning the title. Wow what an achievement!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow what an achievement!!League 1 and League 2 were pretty much one horse races so not sure how you can reward Hartley and Thomson for that. Murray hasn’t even achieved anything yet and could have Airdrie stuck in the same league next season. A guy getting second in League 1 can’t be expected to be named the best manager in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never meant that Hartley, Thomson or Murray should have won. I said that imo they, and Neilson, achieved as much in their respective leagues as was expected or hoped for just like Postecoglou. The only manager that should have won is Campbell as he has taken his team way above expectation. Seriously, where is the achievement in winning a 2 horse race…. Which he may still lose? ETA - I knew that Campbell wouldn’t win, even if we won the title, and I said so in a previous post a couple of weeks ago.

One manages a club and a group of players that have achieved their goal for the season with the biggest budget in Scotland. One has massively exceed expectations with a part time team training a few nights a week against a full time league. Campbell could win the league with Celtic. I'm not sure anyone in Scotland, Ange included, could eo what Campbell has done for Arbroath. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly - an Amazonian tribesman who’s had zero contact with the outside world could take Celtic or Rangers to at worst second place. Christ, even Peter Grant would have them miles ahead of the competition. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan3600 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 When Dick retires I’d be happy to take Postecoglu as his replacement. He seems sound. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is saying he hasn’t done a decent job so far. Personally I think it’s lazy to award it to someone who’s achievement this season to date is beating a poor Hibs team 2-1 in the League Cup final. Theoretically, Rangers could still win the league, Scottish Cup and Europa League, and Arbroath could win the playoffs. Would look like a ridiculous award then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I salute the craft here, I do think it's odd the award is given out before the end of the entire domestic season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
