Not so charming comments from "this charming man " who seems to have more input on Ross Wilson than many of us. If his playing history is true then I'm glad we didn't sign RW as a player, but then again a lot of people have made careers in football (and other areas) that they would not seem to be qualified for. I'm not sure what qualities are required to succeed in becoming POTUS, or Prime Minister other than the opportunity to try.
Some of the most successful coach / managers have succeeded despite their "wrong background". I grew up when Shankly was best manager in Britain for a 15 year period, I was reminded that his playing career with Preston was not so illustrious - nor his long managerial career before he took over at Liverpool. Arsene Wenger played barely 50 games at French amatuer level before beginning his coaching career. Whereas an alarming number of former top players have failed at the first hurdle, (Will be interesting to follow Lampard and Gerrard in their new managerial roles).
It's difficult to know what "qualifies " people for a job , but during my own worklife (now retired) three things encouraged me in different/difficult situations.
(1) Learn from mistakes (especially if they are other peoples).
(2) When you meet someone who has greater knowledge and experience than you have - shut up and listen(!) . You can learn more in an hour than a year in the job.
(3) When opportunities come your way, accept the challenge and remember that your past is not your future. It's your next chance to make good.
Back to Ross Wilson. None of what has been written about him suggests he should even have got an interview for the job, but he has it, and only time will tell if he is a success. | | | |

I think you’re missing the point of the original post
It seems a dig at Patred’s post when Reid was appointed to me
Strange as the poster claims to be new and wouldn’t have seen said post | |

Seems an odd post TCM as you say you only dig Pat out when he says things that are factually incorrect and that you have no interest in hounding him.
I actually agree with you, that is what you did.
I can't see any merit in this post however. It just seems deliberately provocative for no reason. Can't you just leave it? | | | |

I agree with your three points, and would like to add one more.
(4) When you're the boss, don't tell people to do things you can't do yourself. | | | |

Has anyone heard how Pat is doing ? Lets hope the constant digs dressed up as 'banter' hasn't stopped him posting. The baiting of an older gentleman not enjoying the best of health was a sorry affair. At least one of them who persisted in doing this has buggered off. | |

The top managers in the Prem are arguably:
Guardiola
Dyche
Wagner
Pochettino
Benitez
Mourinho
Out of those, I think only Guardiola and Pochettino were international players. | |

Weird how the only needle on here over the last week has come from you, isn't it? | | | |
| Ross Wilson on 09:49 - Jul 22 with 1258 views | this_charming_man |
Isnt it. And he was the one rushing to defend kemp, he was the one who started the should this site be closed down thread. He's now gone through a load of posts from the last couple of weeks and deleted them. | |

Hint taken I like many others have become bored with this constant level of abuse. I will depart and join the rest who no longer visit this site.
p.s. the reason for the post deletion was for legal reasons [Post edited 22 Jul 2018 14:42]

What abuse have you suffered sir? Seems like the only abuse has come from you. Seems like the 'cockroaches' (nice) are better behaved than you give them credit for. | | | |

I bet you’ll still lurk on here and run over to IBO to tell them all about it. | |

You haven't suffered any abuse. In fact I would say most people would have hardly noticed you until you started the "should this site be closed down" thread a few weeks ago. Now you're going on about people being cockroaches and multi posters then deleting every post you make you 'legal reasons' dear me. | |
