Finally found his level :aok: Scotland manager to advisor of a Highland League club in 9 years.........now that's a serious downward trajectory.

I wonder what successes they want him to try to replicate? Over 1000 games as player and manager and not a winners medal to his name. Played the most negative football ever seen in a 460 formation, destroyed half decent young players and orecided over a number of relegation. Maybe he's just going to tell them how NOT to do things

I know a few stories about him but the most recent one that sticks out for me was before a Celtic game - the game after the one BR had criticised their pitch and they'd then laid the hybrid - CL was speaking to me and others lauding the fact BR had already been on the pitch and already commented how long the grass was - CL was laughing because he'd told his groundstaff to keep it long and 'sticky' - I'm all for gaining advantages but that said more about his team, his style, and his approach to the game than anything else. A confident manager (in his team) would want a perfect surface.

A very tall order for Morecambe but I guess they will look to Accrington Stanley for inspiration whose budget in the bottom tier was very similar to Morecambes. Both Morecambe and Stanley have done incredibly well to get to where they are.

Celtc appear to be in utter disarray.

Reports are that Howe turned the job down because he doesn’t want to leave the south of England. If that’s the case, how did it take Celtc so long to find out?

The appointment of Tam Courts as Dundee United manager is an interesting one.

Whether he succeeds or not is of no real interest to me,but it makes a refreshing change for a club to give a younger coach a chance rather than going with the usual tired,tried and tested ones (I won’t bother listing who I’m referring to,you all know who they are).

A part of me hopes he's a success (as long as it isn't to the detriment of Hibs obviously). Like you say it's a change from the norm. Have a feeling it won't go well though. I think players need someone who can instantly command a bit of respect. 5 games for Livi in the first division and managing Kelty won't get that. Could be completely wrong mind you.

I hadn't thought of GM as that to be honest, I thought of him more as recruitment. Sort of identifying targets etc.

They will save a fortune on Mellons wage and there is no reason it can't work.
Obviously if at any time they flirt with the relegation zone the American owners will weeche the boy out very quickly and bring in Leveine or similar old bloke.

I get the manager replacing football staff for his own guys but not the kit man. No sporting advantage to be had there.
Tam was part of the furniture. The manager, players and football staff changed over the years but Tam stayed as a constant and I liked that.
He was basically one of us living the dream doing his thing alongside the football folk.

Every club needs people with a connection to it and Tam was definitely, as you say, living the dream. He was at Hibs in one capacity or another for 30 years and always came across a nice guy. There were posts about Tam and his wife's role at the club back when people were being furloughed. Retired, voluntarily or otherwise, he is a good Hibs man.

Probably, i would imagine Hibs then rolled the 2 jobs into 1, wrote a new job spec and brought the new guy in months later.
I am wary of opening this discussion up again given Tam is an ordinary guy so shouldn't have his business raked up in public.
Needless to say I hope the club looked after him.

[J-C]

Another guy seems to have his role.

Paid off, him and his missus both on overly good wages, done well from Hibs over the year.

My mate is good friends with him and I know he wasn't happy in the way he was treated but as I say they both done well out of the club over the years.

Overly good wages? What's that based on? Tam went above and beyond the call of duty on countless occasions over the years and both he and Joyce had a great relationship with the playing staff.
The way it all ended was not befitting the years of service he gave the club.

I know their relationship with the club and staff, my mate is very close to both of them and their pay was, shall we say very very good for the job they both did. Nothing wrong with that if the club wants to give wages that good, good luck to them tbh but obviously the club decided to lose both and employ someone on a lower wage, unfortunately that happens.

I’ve actually watched a decent amount of games since working from home. BillyHibs on here adds to the thread quite often when they’re on.

I think they put all their eggs in one basket with Howe and ended up with this guy. A young, highly rated British manager who has managed at the top level in Howe to a 55 year old Australian who has only ever managed in his homeland and Japan.. Seems a strange appointment. Plenty singing his praises but that part of the world to Glasgow is very different. At least Gerrard had a bit of an aura about him from his playing career. I'm not convinced it will go well.

What’s his managerial record like

He done a semi decent job at Napoli before getting sacked for finishing 5th. That was possibly a bit harsh with both the Milan teams really kicking on this year.

Other than that he’s generally been somewhere between poor and hopeless.

Won a trophy with Napoli.

Took Milan to 5th, which at the time was decent. They had a poor squad. He isn't a bad manager at all.

Sacked Mourinho a few days before a cup final. Wanted Nagelsmann but Bayern stepped in and took him. Then moved their intentions to the likes of Rodgers and ten Hag. Once they weren’t interested they tried to get Poch back, PSG were having none of it so went in for Conte who they couldn’t agree terms with. New DOF then appointed and they have a verbal agreement to bring in Fonseca, now Gattuso has left Fiorentina they have told Fonseca they don’t want him and are going for Gattuso. Apparently the DOF wanted Gattuso before he left Juventus.

Quite the episode.

Spurs were never getting a top top manager tbh. There's only about 5 of them and the only available one in Conte turned them down.

Kane will do what he's told. He's got zero leverage because he can't sit and do nothing, he'd lose the England spot.

Has he not done quite a decent job in terms of growing Spurs compared to where they were when he took over? I don’t know though.

I’d have thought Eddie Howe would be a good fit for what they’re looking for.

He got them a brand new stadium and the pandemic has really affected them because of a loss of all that revenue. They were very close to winning the PL between 15/16 and 16/17, then moved from WHL where they were unbeaten in their last season to play at Wembley for a season and a half or so. If they had stayed at WHL and invested in the squad instead of building the new stadium around that period I think they would have won something.

I think that a lot of their supporters are upset and angry because of the lack of success and how Levy promised the new stadium to help them compete with the bigger clubs, only to see them decline and continue to spend a lack of money compared to their rivals. The new stadium and the pandemic has set them back quite a bit I think.

He’s also in a difficult position of either selling Kane to help rebuild the team or facing a massive backlash from supporters for selling him at a time where he is already facing criticism for the Super League fiasco amongst other things.

[Highwayman]

Bournemouth don’t look like they are going to renew Jonathan Woodgates short term contract in at the end of June.

They are showing an interest in Scott Parker,but don’t like the compensation Fulham would be looking for.

I’ve said before on here that Levy knows f all about football and I stand by that.

Spurs are a wealthy club with wealthy owners and an enormous fan base. Their new stadium is very fine but their lack of actual success is striking.

I don't think that solves all problems. He clearly wasn't up to the job but the abuse he was getting was too much. More than a bad manager deserves certainly.

Read a post on another site saying he couldn't go out for a pint near his house anymore because of the stick he was getting, had to go further afield.

Coupled with him losing both his parents in a very short period a few years ago, he has certainly had a rough time. Hopefully that big payoff allows him to give himself and his family a comfortably life, and forget football.

That’s exactly what’s happening. The board thought enough of him to give him the job, but after a few bad results they’ll pull the trigger before the heat gets turned towards them. They’re sitting in 9th place and have won 5 and lost 5 and they’re star striker has barely kicked a ball so far.
