Bringing in Caldwell given his track record (not to mention complete lack of self awareness) is risky to say the least. Caldwell is there to put the training cones out and go get the teas. Would expect David Gray to take more training sessions that heid Caldwell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Maloney. Unfortunately, I anticipate he'll do very well for Hibs. Aberdeen (supposedly) interviewed him back in April. Most teams in Scotland will transition to this approach in the next couple of years. Having a younger manager at the helm with a DoF model/structure in place. It's interesting to see Aberdeen, Hibs, Dundee and Dundee Utd (with their respective American owners) all emulating how things are done in the MLS. I think it's all really good news for Scottish football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly, we did transition to it in 2018 after the Ross leaving/Stubbs debacle, with the rationale that it would bestow more consistency upon our recruitment strategy. We stayed up thanks in no small part to some of the players that arrived immediately after Gus McPherson was made DoF. As a club, it seemed like a wholly sensible move - Jack Ross left the squad in a bit of a state, and then Alan Stubbs fucked it up even more - so a DoF would mean we weren't left in the lurch/without plans in place if a manager left at short notice... ...and then we sacked Gus and didn't replace him so f**k knows what's going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be the way going forward. McInnes was a very good manager but his eye for a player wasn't always great. I think McInnes of 2017 would work wonders with our current squad. Not a chance he'd have put it together though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I can see the appeal with Shaun Maloney but Caldwell as number 2 is a honking decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snifter Pee Rot Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 SDG as assistant would be my choice but cest la vie. Aside from his coaching abilities or lack of Caldwell did a bosman on us when he went to celtic which doesn't set a good example. Old regime albeit so no memory of that now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I totally appreciate that. I'm just suggesting that its finally happening due to this model being implemented across the MLS and that these particular American owners have decided to emulate that. I can also see Aberdeen, for instance, inviting another team based in Europe to join the partnership we currently have with Atlanta Utd. Leading to all clubs involved having the same footballing philosophy and recruitment strategy. They'll share recruitment/scouting resources to help benefit one another. Similar idea to Man City, NY Red Bulls, Melbourne City of the A-league and Japanese outfit Yokohama F Marinos. Hibs and Dundee Utd have already started partnerships of their own and will probably expand upon that in the not too distant future. I just hope it brings a better standard of football and match day experience compared to what we have been accustomed to along with potentially disrupting the success of the duopoly that is the OF. Scottish is long due a shake up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Terrapin Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Maloney is a punt that I'd be willing to take but why is Caldwell being touted as the number two? I have a long memory and in particular a 3-0 drubbing at Pittodrie after Caldwell had confirmed he was joining Celtic. He was rotten that day and looked as if he wasn't trying a leg or trying not to get injured more to the point. Would not be welcoming him back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who does this? Doubt it’s the manager and I doubt it’s the (for bigger clubs) trained and qualified accountant/chief executive/whoever that are texting randomers to say we’re paying Jack Ross this much per week by the way. Its all just guess work and guesstimations. In saying that I do know that Gary Holt got the equivalent of £100k year one being the director of football at Falkirk with another £50-£60k a year from then on. 100K to be director of Football at Falkirk? I can do dat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
