Our next manager, who should it be

It isn't working though, is it? Take his fitness philosophy - okay great, we've lost a few KG throughout the squad.....how has that translated into improved performances on the pitch? All of the philosophies and strategies in the world are just the means to and end and mean nothing if they're not producing results and performances, and so far they're not.

Saying Tierney wouldn't have got a game is pure conjecture so I won't even go into it. As it saying Bitton and Griffiths wouldn't be the players they are. Both were signed by Lennon, who had a pretty decent record of getting the best out of central midfielder (Wanyama/Ki/Ledley/Kayal pre injury) and didn't do too badly with Hooper either.

 

fair enough.i don't know the ins and outs of transfers.id always imagined the manager would get a massive say in them.

 

Dont worry I wont. Styles and seminars hi :smiley-laughing002:

 

He's right, that is the other problem but do we continue and fail in Europe with the same mistakes time after time or do we back the manager to eventually find the right formula....which if we're all honest, he should already have found..

It's catch 22 but he's not filling me with much optimism whatsoever..

 

Griffiths was banging them in for lennon.it was bitons first season under lennon and he had a few injuries as well.

 

Lennon brought watt on against barca... and to those saying none of the candidates mentioned dont fill you with confidence, im struggling to think how any of them could do any worse to be honest, each and every one of them could win us the league and a cup and be eliminated from the europa group stages

 

It isn't based on facts though - that's the whole conjecture point I was making :smiley-laughing002: it's simply your opinion presented as facts.

I never said that Bitton or Griffiths would've had the same career trajectory, I would fully expect them to be different players. However, if they would be better, worse or just as good as they are now is anyone's guess and as I said, Lennon's record of getting the best from players was actually very, very good.

Would it be fair to say Lustig was better under Lennon? What about Ambrose? What about Izaguirre? Commons? Stokes?

You're picking a couple of isolated incidents in Bitton and Griffiths, ignoring the fact that not only were they both fairly new to the club when Lennon left, one of them was perpetually injured, and both were actually signed by Lennon as young players with potential to develop!

When it comes to developing and getting the best out of players I would still take Lennon over Deila, based on his current track record.

 

So is there now a myth that Lennon didnt play young players. What the *? Forrest, Watt, Henderson, all from the academy. Look at Victor and all the rest he developed. In terms of development we have never had a better man for it in modern times. So we havnt most of his signings were youngsters.

 

Tierney - debut handed to Tony Watt. In Lennon's first season we had an average player age of 22 in on of the games vs Rangers. He wasn't afraid to play youngsters.

Griffiths and Bitton - the numerous players that improved significantly during Lennon's time at the club. There's a long, long list.

 

Ronny is going nowhere so this thread is pointless in my opinion.

 

Adam Matthews was 19 when he signed and became our number one right back.

 

Hold up mate....he wasn't from the Academy so apparently that doesn't count :smiley-laughing002:

 

Well done your one of the "few" to start realising the board is the problem.

 

100% spot on mate

Once again like I say always down to mismanagement from the board as per usual. Board out!
