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.

  1. Clinko its nil all, unless there was 2 goals scored in the last 10 seconds of the half.

  2. Hanley scores….absolutely undeserved ….. but ……thats …………..fitba.

     

     

    Lucky. Verry lucky.

     

     

    1-0 HT

  3. Spain play ticky-tacky football for first half 0-0.

     

     

    First corner of the second half – high ball cross into 6 yard box and Ramos scores with a header 1-0.

  4. It had to be Hanley, eh?

     

     

    coupons all over the country…bust.

     

     

    Who is the pr#ck am listening to?

     

     

    “don’t give up Wales” WTF!

     

    “that was the score at half-time in November”. FUD.

  5. All I’ve been hearing from wee Gordon on the news clips all day was “it’s all about the result”. I think the players have taken that a bit too literally in the first half an hour at least. We were truly awful but came on (a bit) to a game.

     

     

    We were robbed down in Wales so hopefully payback time.

     

     

    Jobo

  6. Off to ma mates for 2nd hauf.

  11. Paul67 et al

     

     

    Is that Runrig totally misunderstanding Loch Lomond, again?

     

     

    They should know better

  12. A lucky lead for Scotland but we’ll take it. Midfield is quite lightweight but Snodgrass and McArthur are doing enough kicking for 10.

     

     

    Wales have not managed to expose Charlie at Left Back yet.
