Linfield are the big team in a bang average league so they are going to win more than most, so healys stats will look good, a bit like Rodgers at Celtic. For me he cant be thought of as that good a manager as he's been there for a long time , he must have applied for a few jobs but never got any. If he goes to Dundee that will be a big step up, so time will tell how that pans out. I hope we use the same approach that identified Wimmer and bring in someone fresh to the Scottish game.

Baraclough was a poor, poor manager, let’s not pretend otherwise. Yes he came up trumps in the playoff and he’ll always get a big pass for that but tactically he was hopeless and struggled to manage games. We saw that before and after those two games. However the playoffs were one off games and he approached them in the best way, he didn’t allow us to be intimidated by Rangers simply because they were called Rangers like so many others did, none more so than Stuart McCall. Him being Rangers manager for those playoffs was a big part in us winning too as we all knew from experience that he was utterly hopeless and gutless when it came to knockout/big games.

David Healy has a very good track record in Ireland but if hes interested in the Dundee job then his judgement has to be questioned. Its a complete basket case of a club and has been for a good few years. Meanwhile, we're quietly going about our business.

Personal view is he's a very good manager, think he's been there for about a decade. I'd love us to appoint someone who can help us over a long period of time. Fair play to Dundee if they can land someone of his calibre.

Linfield have given Dundee permission to speak to David Healy about becoming their manager.

In all seriousness though, how did our team finish 11th that season? When you look at all the good talent we had...Marvin Johnson, Ainsworth was decent, young Lee Erwin coming through, experienced players like McManus, Pearson, Hammell Keith Lasley and John Sutton. Maybe I'm viewing the past in an overly-positive light, but that team could have been top 5 in the season just passed. Has Scottish Football gone so far down hill?

Unfortunately the horse has bolted, and its never coming back..... 😪😪😪

You are correct. I think I inferred that by saying “unseeded draw” but yes, a knockout competition ie the old European cup and as you say, also addresses complaints from players about too many games.

Champions League shouldn't even be a league. That was another protectonist demand from the wealthy clubs who didn't want the risk of being knocked out in an early round of a proper cup competition. And then they complain about too many games in a season before jetting off to Thailand to play a few more.

Just goes to show that on a level financial basis the old firm are no better than any other team. Which also goes for every other league in the world. The more money you have the better your chance of success. So All this “we are better than you” shite, really translates to “we have more money than you” and i do believe this is exactly what the old firm say with regards to European competitions. However, UEFA and FIFA, continue to support actions to make the rich teams richer and the “poor” teams poorer thereby actively reducing competitiveness and ability for poor teams to attain enough financial opportunity to reach a competitive level. Champions league should be only champion from each country with an unseeded draw. Likewise Europa league should be like old cup winners cup and then have conference league for other teams.

Lennon Miller's dad may have done it for free though?

Hugh Fuckin' Keevans..........I believe Rangers will win by...........a margin.....a margin that make the return at Fir Park academic or at least a comfortable 90 mins for Rangers. 😂😁🤣

Is he?

"So Cammy. On a scale from one to Marvin Johnson, just how bad was that keeper's mistake?"

There's a few english managers that could be good, including Buckingham, but there's also a bunch of managerial vacancies in the EFL that they're all linked with, so we may have to see how that shakes out. Did Ian Evatt apply last time, or was his name just thrown out by someone on here? Saw an article with John Terry lamenting about his unsuccessful efforts to secure a manager job, maybe he could do a job here? He's obviously remembered fondly for his cup winning exploits with us in '91.

More interesting this , compare it to the champions league final. Prefer the Well videos Bellshill Athletic away on the 5th of July anyone?

Wonder how much money we've spunked on this guy to simply cut the players hair. Good riddance.

The gasbagging was tremendous

Miller to PSG?

I remember him as a tiny wee lad at Braidhurst in the seventies. He didn't half grow.

Jack Daniels had a great few nights back in the day . The Well v Celtic game when Skippy scored those two goals was a good night Other one despite being gubbed 5-1 by Rangers in the 2005 final in the same season there was one guy changing the lyrics to a Bryan Adams song Summer of 69 with the lyrics Summer of 91 😄

I don't think I'd be expecting the gegenpress from him. I'd probably describe him a bit more of a pragmatic manager who can get results but can change or adjust things. I may have had more time on my hands than id care to admit so been looking at different highlights and profiles of different managers without a club.

Does he like a high intensity press and high goal shoots? 😍😍😍

Gonna throw a name out there curious what others think but Des Buckingham could be a good option for us. He did well with New Zealand's under 23s and at Mumbai and got Oxford into the championship. He's a tracker record for working with youth and been relatively successful everywhere he's been. Wondered if anyone else had some thoughts about him?

Might as well get some practice on the plastic before the league starts.
