yes, there could be a few more - Levein to Herttz if Shaba walks

Well, with all the chatting Ally McCoist has been doing in the media over the season and Wattie having just won the league, it wouldn’t surprise me if McCoist took over at Greyskull.

It would also allow the ‘V’ pair to come back into the team ‘under new management’, play until Christmas, and then Rankers sell at top price.

That would surprise me, honestly.

But I have hopes that the Unwashed will fail to get Mowbray, and have to approach Motherwell for McGhee....

I'm glad we did the job quietly and quickly, and without any obvious disrespect towards Falkirk.

It means we can sit back now and watch the fun.

Let the games begin!

You have got to be joking.

Levein fled like a scalded cat as soon as Romanov appeared on the horizon.

He let it be know that he would never work with an owner who was signing players.

But, since his time at FirPark, McGhee has proved himself to be a complete harlot, so.............
he should be going to Greyskull!!

DayJah VOOH.

It'll be MoJo all over again, again.

What if

McGhee takes the Aberdeen job
Jeffries takes the Falkirk job
McPherson takes the Killie job
McInnes takes the West Brom job
Shabba takes any job

It would be like runaround (without Mike Reid obviously)

It would also leave the Jumbos with Tango man or Mixu

Good shout at a change at Der Hun. With TM at Celtic and the promise of some spending Wattie could easily decide he's rubber ducked, change his mind and invent some form of allergy that "forces" him to retire. Leaving Super Swally to get out played and out maneuvered by a rejuvenated 'Tic.

Of course no-one but us foresees the rise of the might Cabbage (1st) or the emergence of one season wonders St Johnstone (RU) leaving TM in his usual 3rd place.

[Moulin Yarns]

Talking to a Saint Johnstone fan at work, if McInnes goes his preferrence would be John McGlynn fron Raith, I suggested the dream team reunites, McGlynn and Frail. Under the circumstances, quite successful in the past.

[ScottB]

Think Smith will hang around at least till the end of their Champions League campaign, then may well move upstairs as it were...

Updated with season's changes to date.

Hibernian - Hughes confirmed
Celtic - Mowbray confirmed 17th June
Aberdeen - McGhee confirmed 12th June
Falkirk - vacant, then filled by Eddie May along with Elvis
Motherwell - vacant, then filled by Gannon who left, now temporary by Brown
Hertz - possible vacancy if Shaba walks
D.Utd - vacant, with Levein off to Scotland
Kilmarnock - vacant with JJ off 11th January
Rangers - Smith possibly on his way.

Wasn't wrong when I said "could be over half the premier league will have new managers". Have I missed anyone?

[jacomo]

Surely it's insane for Killie to part company with Jumbo n Bully now, with the Arabs and Well also looking for a new manager? These three will be competing with each other, especially as none of them have the money to employ someone under contract elsewhere.

Glad we're not in that position!

[sunshine1875]

Updated - only Smith, McInnes, Reid and McPherson still in the same job since the end of last season

With the season now almost over, I cannot recall one with so many managerial changes. Yogi is now the 4th longest serving manager having only joined Hibs in the summer. And by the start of next season he could be at least the 2nd longest serving if Smith decides to call it a day and either Reid or McInnes leave their clubs. Amazing!

We also end the season with four managers on a temporary basis - Lennon, Calderwood, Houston and Brown. It will be interesting to see how all this pans out.
