joewarkfanclub Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago Seems like a solid appointment and looks like we have followed a similar process to the managerial one to get the right candidate in. I wonder if there is a bit of succession planning there and we might be going down the old Liverpool "bootroom" route? Style, identity, promote from within.... Would certainly make things simpler as and when Jens moves on...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, although he did also spend 3 years working for Aberdeen and St Mirren, and his last job was being assistant to someone who played for Celtic for 7 years.

I realise there is an element of sarcasm involved here, but surely its only the cheap option if you have no plan and you take the option thats right in front of you? If you have gone to the bother of succession planning the right candidate (IF thats what has happened) then I would commend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellgirl Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Assume from the comments on the official site that the manager had a hand in who was appointed. If he's happy to have him and Max is happy to be here. Good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewelllfan Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Do we have any idea what formation we're going to be playing under the new gaffer? He apparently played 433 in Sweden and a 343 in Denmark so doesn't seem to have a set formation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wunderwell Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Ok for a bit of fun here is my 3-4-3 Positives - pace on either side of a striker who can get goals, the negatives is the two wide players cannot in any way for me tackle and retreat when not on the attack. That means we would need to have defensive minded midfielders. No Miller presumed here. Oxborough McGinn Gordon Balmer Sparrow McGhee Slattery Wilson Robinson/Fadinger Stama Maswahine Someone fix it for me if it's terrible and ignore the posts below!

Oxborough McGinn Gordon Balmer Sparrow McGhee Fadinger Wilson Robinson Stama Maswahine Remain unconvinced but best I could do - not much creativity in midfield which looks weak and lightweight Someone fix it for me!
