Competition in Scotland is hardly comparable to England.
I think that, once again, demonstrates your wilful ignorance
on the matter a) Ferguson broke the 15 year Celtic/Rangers stranglehold
on the Scottish league and ended a 25 year wait for the title at
Aberdeen. b) of course beating Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the
final en route to the European Cup Winners cup was a minor achievement.
This argument that we should only sign a manager with a proven winning record is flawed because all managers start at the bottom in terms of experience and some develop quicker than others. It's not an exact science.
I think the point that you miss is likelihood in terms of success at a big club.
But I guess I've wasted my breath because you're in the dude camp.
You're not wasting your time, it's just that your argument is weak. I'm
in camp Ed btw.
I would say it's in the making. I would agree the extreme inconsistency (outplaying ManC like no other team has at their place since the sheik took over, to losing at home in a very lacklustre style to the Baggies just a few days later)
Yes, the dominance against City for the 20 minute spell in the second
half is a point both for and against your argument i.e. great that we
dominated but not so great that we were unable to turn such dominance
into a result (I also note they were missing their two most influential players)
