If only Hartley could have repeated, or got near to season 14-15 again. We’d have never had to endure McIntyre! I'd take even the 2nd seasons batch! His Cove side went top of the league today. Would certainly take him back. He's had 2 absolute disastrous seasons in something like 12ish seasons with 1 mixed bag season (second at us) then successful every other season and that looks like continuing this season so far. Far better record than most other managers in Scotland tbh. He's said in an interview recently that he's missing full time football as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we've kind of passed the Yogi point and even then, the argument was about his coaching ability rather than his managerial prowess, but I've had a quick look at his signings over the years and holy f**k. Even the poorest of Dundee managers have a better signing track record. Starting with Hibs 09-10: Danny Galbraith, Patrick Cregg, Kevin McBride, Graham Stack, Liam Miller, Graeme Smith, Mark Brown & Anthony Stokes. - 1 successful signing in Stokes. Hibs 10-11: David Stephens, Michael Hart, Edwin de Graaf, Francis Dickoh, Valdas Trakys, Matt Thornhill & 100k for Martin Scott. - 0 successful signings. Livi 12-13: Tony Andreu (wasn't a success until Hamilton), Jordan Morton, David Luongo, Burton O'Brien & Jesus Garcia Tena - 0 successful signings. Inverness 14-15: Taarmo Kink, Edward Ofere, Ibra Sekajja, Lewis Horner & Ryan Baptie. - 0 successful signings. Inverness 15-16: Nat Wedderburn, Ryan Christie (loaned back to ICT - so not counting), Jordan Roberts, Dani Lopez, Owain Fon Williams, Iain Vigurs, Miles Storey, Tobi Sho-Silva, Dani Lopez & Alex Fisher. - 2 successful signings in Vigurs & Storey. Raith 16-17: Pavol Penska, David Syme & Scott Roberts - 0 successful signings. Ross County 20-21: Tony Andreu, Mohamed Maouche, Leo Hjelde, Joe Hilton & Jordan White. - 1 successful signing in White. So since his successful spell with Falkirk in his first managerial job, he's signed 4 players who could be deemed as a success for the clubs he's managed in 12 years of management. Oft. This is quite an informed and interesting post, until I read that Jordan White is considered a ‘successful signing’. Jeepers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure either of those clubs could go much higher so the only possible way was down. Im not sure you can really blame him for the job the next manager did and I’m not sure a Falkirk team getting to a cup final and an Inverness team who finished 7th having competed in Wurope and won a cup the year before can be considered a “state” What have the likes of Jack Ross and Stephen Glass done to get the respect they both seem to have? Interesting point this. Jack Ross is one of those guys that kind of looks and sounds the part but I’m not sure what he’s actually achieved, anywhere, of note? not sure Glass really has the respect of others though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Ross' reputation appears to be based on beating a Dundee United side which was managed by Csaba Laszlo to the Championship title a few years back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainbowrising Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 It's a quote that has been around before Mussolini. Some claim it dates back to an ancient Tibetan quote (possibly not). Mussolini lifted it, variations of it have been around for a long time. Do United staff not check banner displays like this prior to the match?
