I'd give Derek McInnes a go. He's probably done as much as he can with Aberdeen (who were finishing in 8th and 9th under Craig Brown). They consistently finish 2nd and won their first trophy since the mid 1990s under him.

He loses players to the old firm every season and still puts together a good team. Aberdeen IMO were more than a match for Burnley in the Europa qualifiers.

I think unlike Potato he'd also be itching the succeed because of his past record (his time at Bristol City).
Not the worst shout. I did a bit of coaching at the Bristol City academy when he was there. Lots of the full-time coaching staff were positive about him and he was very keen to get the academy set up right and to have every age group playing with a consistent approach (simple stuff really!).

He made mistakes but provided he learned from them, that is no bad thing.

He had a mentor, an old manager, which struck me as a very useful thing. Good coaches/managers need to honestly reflect on both the good and bad things that happen and this is much more likely with a trusted voice outside of the coaching clique, i.e. the people who owe their living to the bloke who they need to be honest with.

A great shout

You could make a similar case for Alex Neil based on last year's performance. This isn't going to be their next gig - it's too big to get wrong again.

That very nice ex Chelsea, ex Holland international who bought us coffee and talked me out of suicide after the play off final would do well I think.

I’ve googled ex Chelsea and Dutch International working in a coffee shop and couldn’t see anything. 


Who was that?

Gullit? Winston Bogarde, Robben? Reiziger? I can't think of any itgersoff the top of my head.

Did Gus Hiiddink play football?

None of the above.  I will ask if I can disclose who it was.

It has to be Cherie Lunghi.

Even at her age (66) she might stiffen the defence.

We just need that sketch in Father Ted where Mrs Doyle tries to guess who the priest is.

re Mendes, someone on Twatter is suggesting we all put our money on Paulo Fonseca.

Just read up on him. I like what I've read.

You said you would like a German, Ads. Marco Rose is an interesting manager/coach worth reading up on.
