Managerial talent

1363

Derek Adams propensity to waste time and then complain about time being added on should not obscure the fact that he is a remarkably productive football manager.  Ross County, from Dingwall, population 5,000, are sitting fourth in the SPL and remain in touching distance of a place in Europe.  No need to highlight their Scottish Cup campaign in 2010.

It is, therefore, no surprise that Aberdeen have asked Ross County for permission to speak to him.  On the face of it, Aberdeen should fancy their chances of recruiting Adams but County are confident for a reason.  SPL, and in Owen Coyle’s case First Division, managers have been recruited by well-paying English clubs at levels the likes of Aberdeen cannot compete with.  County chairman, Roy McGregor, is likely to advise Adams to hold off for a more lucrative move south.

When Jimmy Calderwood left Dunfermline for Aberdeen in 2004 chairmen John Yorkston explained his surprise at Calderwood heading north, explaining that he believed one day Calderwood would move to Ibrox.  Aberdeen proved to be a plateau for Calderwood, as it has been for most over the last couple of decades.

If they don’t get Adams chances are they will go back to Motherwell; back-to-back second place finishes are exactly what is needed at Pittodrie right now.

Best of luck to Gordon Strachan on his first competitive game as Scotland manager tonight.

    I reckon Jordan Rhodes would have put one of Misser’s chances away.

    you could have left the word “Rhodes” out :-)

  6. England could be heading to double figures, a good chance

     

    of fraser making his debut in second half, surely.

  7. Doctor Whatfor on

    I see so much of myself in Kenny Miller. But then I’m 60 years old wi’ a head like thrupny bit.

  8. Rep of Ireland scoreless with Sweden at half time. Looked comfortable in 1st half, James McClean giving Lustig a lot to do. He is being shunned by the Sunderland Support could be a good signing for us. Everytime I see James McCarthy play I almost weep, we could have had him for buttons.

  9. Scotland total gash. WGS’ team selection looks very dubious.

  10. Dull yin fae the buffon there…

     

     

    Hope Alan’s gloves urnae to tight the night. Didn’t realise that ‘shagger’ was limp wristed….

  11. sftb,

     

     

    Are you saying that you support the club, but not the holding company?

     

     

    Can’tt see that idea catching on! : >)

  12. James McClean playing for us would be like Neil Lennon, Aiden McGeady and Martin O’Neill rolled into one, we would need to employ a dozen extra minders.
