Getting a good manager job

351
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

When Gordon Strachan left Celtic in 2009 the overwhelming calls on CQN were for the club to go for broke and appoint Davie Moyes as manager. Again last year, when we were replacing Ronny Deila, Davie and Brendan Rodgers were Celtic’s top choices for the job.

This week Davie, one of the most awful central defenders to have played for Celtic in my time, underwhelmed West Ham fans when given the job of rescuing them from relegation.

Davie did well in his first managerial job at Preston, then rescued Everton from the failing hands of Walter Smith, taking the club on an 11-year run of what is regarded as success around those parts. Throughout his Everton era he was a hot prospect. The Manchester United job was his four years ago, but little has gone his way since. He left Old Trafford, Real Sociedad and Sunderland under a cloud in quick succession.

We could have had him before Sunderland last year and we would have been delighted at the appointment too. It may even have worked out well. Despite that, I don’t expect him to inspire West Ham to midfield mediocrity. The West Ham job is one of many wonderfully well-paid bad jobs in England. They may avoid relegation, but Davie will never be liked.

Brendan Rodgers will receive regular calls from representatives of West Ham-like clubs, with plenty of money but little hope of success. The Celtic job is far from perfect, but there are few better gigs.

    BIG JIMMY really may be on to something, likening Alex Rae to Quark. In the Star Trek universe, Quark is of course Ferengi, an alien race. My extensive research (SMSM speak for a quick shifty at Wikipedia) has uncovered the following facts about the Ferengi, and I quote directly:

     

     

    “They and their culture are characterized by a mercantile obsession with profit and trade, and their constant efforts to swindle unwary customers into unfair deals. They are also known for their business acumen and for rampant misogyny, sometimes forcing their women into the sex trade.[1] Notable Ferengi characters include Quark, Rom, Nog, Ishka, Zek, and Brunt, all of whom were featured prominently in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.”

     

     

    “Ferengi

     

    The Ferengi Alliance

     

    Founder Grand Nagus Gint

     

    Home world Ferenginar

     

    Capital(s) City of Commerce

     

    Official language(s) Ferengi

     

    Currency Gold-Pressed Latinum

     

    Their home planet, Ferenginar, is the center of the Ferengi Alliance and is governed by the Grand Nagus and a Commerce Authority made primarily of the Council of Economic Advisors (formerly Board of Liquidators). Like most of their culture, their religion is also based on the principles of capitalism: they offer prayers and monetary offerings to a “Blessed Exchequer” in hopes of entering the “Divine Treasury” upon death, and fear an afterlife spent in the “Vault of Eternal Destitution.”

     

     

    “…Board of Liquidators”?, “Vault of Eternal Destitution”?, “Religion based on the principles of Capitalism”?

     

     

    Coincidence? I think not

     

    :)))

    Ernie- still don’t see surfing as a sport.HH

    It requires more skill and athleticism and is far more dangerous than most conventional sports, certainly at the level this guy does it.

     

     

    And it’s competitive.

     

     

    Can’t see how it doesn’t tick all the boxes for being a sport.

     

     

    Golf, on the other hand, that’s not a sport by any measure.

  15. Philbhoy on

    I’m bored with this surfing stuff too!

     

     

    Does anyone know how to repair a leaking, double skinned, petrol tank on ma motor bike?
