Why does Strachan have to get lumped in with Hoddle all the time? Hoddle left us and did nothing but fail. Strachan left us and took Celtic into the last sixteen of the Champion's League twice, as well as winning the league three times in a row - Scottish League easy etc but no other Celtic manager had done that for decades. Hoddle and WGS should not be mentioned in the same breath.

It's not like Wes Tender to be pathetically, embarrassingly wrong about something. Oh, sorry. It is.

I think the Wee Man could be just the job. I think he'd keep us up. Not fussed about the Boro thing, he came to us on the back of a relegation first time. I think we need dull organisation right now. Strachan or Curbs are my choices to do that. Strachan, of the two, would have the fans onside more quickly. Would be nice if Adkins could turn it round, obviously. I think he's off to the jocks though. Money for old rope there.

Based on my opinion. I'd like to see you list 100,000 different reasons why Saints needed to take out a loan, especially if you are completely discounting the idea that the family bankroll has now stopped and we need to start being self sustaining.

Correct, especially the point about the family funding. That's over. The key point is that Cortese has yet to prove himself in the top flight as a CEO. So far, we're struggling. He might turn out to be the Dean Hammond of club administration. Lets hope not.

My point is about Wonga surviving in the big league, which Lowe did do and Wonga is yet to do. We have no idea how Lowe would do in L1 with loads of free money, so not relevent. Lets see how Wonga does in the big league. He's got six seasons of mainly solid finishes to beat. Sent from my GT-I9100P using Tapatalk 2

Wonga Cortese has mometum, feel good factor, managerial stabilty, wheelbarrows full of cash (from wherever) and so on. Oh, and a 32,000 seater stadium. And he's been here two years so is all settled in. You really think Lowe inherited some superteam/club? Would you swap now for 1997? Gaston, or Mickey Evans?

Well he was better than any other player we've ever had. And I'm the bitter one?

Money hasn't been "invested" to get us up the league. It's just been given to us to fuel an old man's dream. Now we're here, and the old man is gone, we're taking loans out. Wonga Cortese is just playing with a trainset. Nothing he has done has actually made us into a business in any danger of breaking even.

Bang on.

Indeed. But we have yet to see The Loan Arranger turn round a decline. It might be horrific too. Relegation from the Prem is a hammer blow that is difficult for many to reover from, ask people in Bradford, Sheffield, Nottingham, Derby etc.

....and we stayed up for six seasons under him without those millions and with MLT a bit part player or retired. Let's see Wonga Cortese beat that first.

Ask the Cult of Cortese t**ts on here, happy to sneer at MLT as nothing more than a former employee who was paid at the time. I look forward to seeing Nige get the same treatment the day he leaves.

The rest of your post is fine but I don't get this line - you say it as if finishing 17th is the worst we could possibly do. We could easily finish bottom on 20 points or less. Your plan to bravely stick with Nige seems predesposed on staying up, so not that brave. Loads on here, including me, would have accepted 17th in August. It's the "Champions League here we come" idiot brigade who were getting carried away.

13 wins. Terrible appointment, surely? Not that I care.

Yes, that's right. He managed across three seasons, one of them being a full season. Any more sarky questions?

Not that staggering. Pretty common really. I'd say Jones is the last one to do it. Even Strachan only actually completed one full season.

You're stealing my act. You need to stick to grizzling about other people wuining your lickle fowum.

He clearly hasn't, we're wide open. Gary Megson makes his teams "difficult to beat". Big Sam does. Big Mick does. Billy Davies. Mancini. Strachan. Hoddle. Capello. Poyet. Boothroyd. Arsene Wenger doesn't make his teams "difficult to beat". Nor does Brendon Rodgers. Sven. Pep. Holloway. Tony Mowbray. Adkins. Nicholl. Ball. Nice try at being a smartarse but being "difficult to beat" is not the same as "not losing". It's a style thing. Hypo's point was valid and your response was pointless, well done.

I agree. Ignoring Derby, all relegated teams win a handful of games, this will be one of those times.

Have you worked out what your painfully unfunny trolling routine is going to be next season yet? I know this one is going to be hard to beat but good luck with it.

Did it with Bolton, on five points from ten games when took over, and he kept them up. But of course, Gary Megson is not European football's greatest young managerial talent, like what Adkins is.
