On the subject of Deila, why pay compensation to get him out of his contract because he is willing to work with Lowe, Johnson and Benson? Would it not be easier to get a better guy who is temporarily out of work, and use some of the money saved by not paying compensation towards paying off whoever he didn't want, then starting afresh?

The first bit is looking increasingly likely. The second...... not so sure, he may be here for the long haul and not in a good way......he's seemingly already cottoned on to the Mowbray mantra of jam tomorrow and long term "journeys' which of course never come to fruition but you get a bloody good screw out of it in the meantime.

Couldn't agree more. Subsequent to Venus's departure I was told not even he could stand Lowe. What sort of recipe is that for a harmonious camp and dressing room? Surely you need everyone pulling in the same direction if you're to stand a chance and I think we saw that in the second half of the season albeit the main culprit was Mowbray and his preference for playing Bradley Johnson as a false 9 rather than sign a back up striker.

And who is already talking about selling players and "long term plans".

Greg Coar's been at the Club a very long time. Nice bloke and wish him all the best at Wigan but you'd have to say we've been lacking in this respect for some time. Be interesting to see if this change has a positive impact. -
What, because I asked PM why the appointment of Broughton meant we'd be fishing in a completely different pond as regards recruitment? I think it's a legitimate question to ask. If he'd said he thought the appointment of Broughton would revolutionise the pathway from Academy to first team I'd have thought that would have been a fairer proposition but I'd still want to see evidence of that happening first.

So to summarise, the two new favourites for the job are two Norwegians, neither of whom have any experience whatsoever of English football. One however has a promising CV, and could do well, the other, the highlight really of his career is to win the SPL with Celtic (at a time when Rangers had been demoted) playing shite football and emptying half of Parkhead in the process. Unfortunately however it seems we have little prospect of landing the decent looking candidate as our newly appointed DOF has apparently previously fallen out with him. That about cover it?

Lol, "dream ticket?" If I'd asked you to name your "dream ticket" at the start of this tortuous recruitment process, you wouldn't have come up with that combination if you'd been given a million tries. You just hitch your wagon to whoever seems to be the most likely to get the job at any given point. If there's a new favourite for the manager's or head coach's role by Friday you'll be saying we absolutely have to get them in instead. "Dream ticket" - Hmmm......"The best we can hope for after practically everyone else has turned us down" might be a more apt descriptor but whoever comes in we will have to wish them luck.

Broughton, Knutsen, Deila - have to say I'm completely underwhelmed if I'm being honest. On the other hand you then you think of what has gone before, Mowbray and Venus and it's difficult to think that anyone could be much of a downgrade on that. Hoping to be pleasantly surprised in due course but not really the calibre of appointments I was hoping for.
