Still makes me angry on many levels.

Welcome Alex - do your stuff and star with a great club in our promotion run. 👍👍

Decent coaches take jobs at genuine crisis clubs - we'll be just fine.

That would be my guess as well (including Hanlan). I also think Hartridge could also be moved on. Tough on Butch, but I’ll expect he’ll end up at Shrewsbury.

Getting out of Glasgow may be the best thing for him.

English football is changing and our owners put in place a senior management team who have clearly adopted the concept of a first team coach working alongside a director of football. It’s a model that has been in place for many years in most European leagues and to a lesser extent in this country. It might not suit every prospective candidate and that is their prerogative, but to suggest that any ‘half decent’ candidate wouldn’t touch the job with a barge pole is just crazy.

Alex's loan spell at Hearts did not work out, but I really like what I see here...lets see how our club can help him develop like Anis did etc etc...

Most of the clips are youth teams naturally but a few against adult defenders etc.

2 great Scots characters I think at the club too, to take him under their wing ...one being club captain may have been an influence too...

That's fine. I suspect we're looking for a head coach, not a manager. Any head coach with aspirations of head coaching any higher than League One will be aware that their career will consist of being employed in a specialist role rather than as an all-rounder.

I would have said that this was the maddest thing I've read all day but somebody on TwitterX has declared that the recent spending spree is because the club have secretly sold Kone and are using the money to avoid the backlash.

If Schumacher chooses Bolton over us (and to be clear, I have no idea if we are interested in him, or if Bolton are), do you not think the fact that he’s from the north west might have a part to play? Would be disingenuous to blame our ownership for that
