Is anything stevie is doing impressive? I just don't have a high opinion of managerial success if you manage rangers or celtic.

Ross County, Hamilton, St Johnstone, (the former) Meadowbank Thistle.

Maybe a tricky Scottish Cup trip to Queen of the South.

Not to be trifled with.

Runs on the board.

... not to mention the perennial possibility of the most alliterative result in world football:

 

Forfar 5 East Fife 4.

It’s a lot more impressive than anything Celtic are doing this season. 

[Creator Supreme]

I'm still to be convinced he'll do well in a bigger league, maybe he should take a Championship job next, it would still be a step up from the SPL!

Ignores the progress he's made since he went there as a rookie manager. Despite the managers they had after getting back into the Scottish top flight, they couldnt compete with Celtic. He's changed that with year on year improvement and now all but clinched the title.

Leicester would be the perfect set up for him. B-dog will be licking those chapped lips at the Chelsea job now Lego heads turning the arse round 

I hope he goes abroad. Maybe Germany. Spreckhen de Deutsch lad?

I'm not ignoring it I've genuinely no idea, its why I've asked.

Seems to have a decent record in Europe considering how poor that team is.

That is the positive thing I have taken from his tenure up there as the SPL doesn't really give up many answers but he seems to have his tactics spot on in the No-Hoper.

 

In the interviews I have seen with him he also seems to be a bit more considered than in his early Rangers days but this may be also down to the fact the team is doing better.

[Halcyon Days]

Love Gerrard and glad he’s showing promise but can’t get onboard with a club who have portraits of Lizzy all over the gaff.

I just hope he doesn’t take on some no hoper club down here as the pressure from the lunatics will be on him if he doesn’t transform them into title challengers from day one. A Leicester type club who have got all the infrastructure in place now and won’t need a full rebuild would be ideal but I can see him getting Newcastle and having the same problems as all the other managers have had up there by the time Xmas comes around. 

[sir roger]

There aren't many good owners left, even Leicester got rid of Ranieri not long after the PL win,  but Stevie will have to hope he can choose wisely ( possibly abroad ) and time it right, as I dont think he will be coming back here first bounce.

 

[Red74]

I wouldn’t want to be the manager after klopp here

[sir roger]

Ha ha, a poisoned chalice and a half.

 

Was interesting at the PL presentation that Klopps two main assistants barely looked at each other.

There's a few that would be interested in him but, I wouldnt be surprised to see Leeds, Newcastle and maybe arsenal chasing him at the end of this season.

His record in Europe & against Celtic (who have a lot more money than Rangers do) is very impressive over the last year or so. He's doing better than I thought he would although Celtic going to shit has certainly helped him.

[3 Stacks]

You can only be impressed by what he's done. Done nothing to hurt his chances of one day managing a big club.

I've not heard any mention of it outside of my own observation of the trophy presentation. There were a few people talking about Sadio spending more time with his cameraphone and not going near Mo, but to me the more glaring one was Krawietz and Ljinders , but I assume they must have to work closely together with Jurgen so who knows.

Oh, ok. Cheers for that. Didn’t know if I’d missed something.

 

I think if I was Mane I’d fucking hate Mo as well. Proper petulant and whiny at times, not to mention hypocritical by whinging at him for not passing, then being greedy himself. 
 

The main thing I noticed with the presentation that night, was Minamino wandering round on his own.

I don't think there is any issue between Krawietz and Ljinders. I have seen them laugh and jest together on some of those "Inside Training" videos on LFC TV. It's a bit mad jumping to conclusions just because the cameras didnt show them necking each other during the title celebrations. They might have done so and maybe the cameras missed it. And even if they didn't, it means nothing.

 

Regarding Mo and Mane, i dont get why Salah has to be made the villain all the time. Mane has also been petulant and whiny a few times. And is also guilty of shooting instead of passing. Which top class forward isnt guilty of that?

 

There is also the fact that Salah has set up more goals for Mane than any of our other forward players. (More than he has set up for Firmino and the others). While Mane actually hasnt assisted as many of Salah's goals in comparison.

He has them playing incredibly organised but boring football. He's more from the school of Ged than Brendan which surprised me. They must have the best defensive record in Europe.
