No. Hence why i said the 10/11 list was in finishing order. I didn’t rank them, the order was the positions of the clubs they managed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only edited cos I released their was a half thought about commenting more on McCall that I never followed through on. You can see the difference in my edited post and the quoted post that shows the original. Comment on how 10/11 managers were listed is in both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard of manager doesn't seem great in this league. 1.McGlynn 2.Neilson 3.Robertson 4.Campbell 5.Grant 6.Crawford 7.Johnston 8.Kerr 9.McElhone 10.McPake They both finished above us last season. That's one possible criteria. Not saying they are, or are not, better managers than Crawford, but would dispute that there is no criteria to make an argument for them being better. Of course that same criteria can be used this season to argue the opposite, which is why I can't say if they are or are not better or worse. End of the season will be better (obviously) to make a judgement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Managers lose games. My point wasn't necessarily he's a particularly good manager, but I'm pretty sure giving Dick Campbell the Hearts job wouldn't have resulted in 16 straight wins. Nobodies saying that though..I doubt Neilson would have been as successful with us as John McGlynn is, on a shoestring budget thoughI also doubt he’d have kept Arbroath up there as one of the best part time teams in the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but there are people saying McGlynn and Campbell are the two best managers in the division. Which, depending on what your expectations and circumstances are, maybe they are. I don't think they'd be good for Hearts though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Belt Caley Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 1. Mcglynn 2. Campbell 3. Grant 4. Robertson 5. Neilson 6. Crawford 7. Kerr 8. Johnston 9. McElhone 10. Mcpake not watched many games this season apart from ones on TV, but I’ve always been impressed by Arbroath and Alloa as part time teams. I’d say Robertson has done well for us since he came in, and we’re in a far better state than we were after Foran. He signed Coll Donaldson and Joe Chalmers and made them look like footballers. Players like Jamie Mccart, Shaun Rooney and Liam Polworth have all moved onto to better things too. That being said he did sign Kevin Mchattie and continues to play Brad McKay 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) Robertson McGlynn Campbell Grant Neilson Crawford Johnston Kerr McElhone McPake Tbh I only really rate the top three. The rest are poor and Neilson is an enigma propped up by cash. Edited February 20, 2021 by D.A.F.C 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcglynn wouldn't be doing any better at Hearts than Nielson currently is, and vice versa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'll certainly be one of those who have mentioned both McGlynn and Campbell. However, what I didn't do was to say that they were the best in the division or to try to rank all 10 managers in the division - I haven't done that because I don't know enough about each manager and what their particular circumstances are this season. What I said was that it was clear those two were doing decent work at their clubs. This is all very subjective and probably the only objective measure is the final table at the end of the season - and by that yardstick you'd have to say that Neilson should get credit (even given his budget advantage) for twice winning this league with different clubs ....... well, he will, won't he? I haven't mentioned McElhone at Morton because I know nothing about the guy but by all accounts he's been willing to step up and cover a gap at what clearly appears to be difficult times at the club, so a harsh assessment of him would appear be unfair. Guys like McPake and Crawford, again I don't know much about apart from what the Dees and Pars say on here, but the expectations at these two clubs are set higher than they are at the likes of Queens etc. so they are under more pressure to succeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he'd swap his pish stained shoes for Simon's new trainers outside of London club. Crawford has some top style. Dick Campbell is a throwback with his bunnet but definitely owns it. McGlynn can never be forgiven for the tight trackies and shirt and tie combination. It will always overshadow whatever he wears now. McPake does a decent jumper and jacket combo. Mark Kerr enjoys the bodywarmer/gilet look. Allan Johnston usually rocks a club tracksuit. A timeless style. Peter Grant is a fan of the club training wear, supplemented with a monogrammed club supplied jacket in the winter. McElhone appears to dress like a P.E. teacher fittingly. John Robertson is more of a throwback, usually sporting a shirt, tie and jumper top half with formal slacks and shoes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee wasp Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Its hard not to give the part time managers an extra mention as they're job i would say is harder than the full time guys, they're only getting to work with the players a couple of hrs on a Tuesday and Thursday night. Although expectation is maybe not as high although id like to see some of the full time guys trying to be a success working that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I love DC. Don’t get the dinosaur and joke figure stuff, he’s basic as f**k and loves to haver but he’s just your average guy who’s got a bit about him and likes a laugh. Football is a simple game and footballers are just normal guys. Love him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
