Sadly, Dame Edna passed away earlier this year. (On the same day as Barry Humphries, coincidentally - A dark day for Australian culture.)

Kylie as DoF ?

Oi you lot!! I've got this thread on constantly , and when I seen 25 new responses, I thought this was it!! Please no more antipodeans puns!! 😁

Perhaps I should have been clearer about the colour of the budgie smugglers

The "staying to the end of the Japanese season" rumour has apparently been denied by Muscat's people, according to H&H.

Sir Les Patterson, also, alas, deceased, would have made a splendid Club Ambassador, and could have doubled up as MC at New Edmiston House. Is Germaine Greer to old to help with the half time tea and sandwiches?

Why? Bring in Skippy, too; and Dame Edna.

No worries mate 👍 .

I'd like to express doubt over both so that if either one turns out badly Ill be able to act wise after the event. (Which is to say, I don't have a Scooby.)

Yeh I agree. It isn’t a negative, more of an observation I suppose that we aren’t currently set up to compliment that at the moment, but we do need to resolve that. A good coach and people person is what we need and he apparently is both of those.

It does suggest we'll get a DoF. I see this (him being a coach) as a positive. I think that's what we've always needed. We don't have quality players that can manage themselves. We need a coach that can instruct and develop players.

Christ, that's got me nursing a semi.

What they say in Belgium about Clement. With Genk, he was fighting for the title but lost a key player. The team was built around that key player (Alejandro Pozuelo). He transfered to a USA team about 10 weeks before the conclusion of the belgian competition. Everyone was convinced this would be the blow that would have Genk lose the title... However, Clement managed in a very short window to implement a new strategy in the team to cover for the loss of their key player... and won the title. Totally not a bruges fan, but his team played the best football in the last years (for Bruges then, Genk also played well with Van den Brom and Vrancken) and really dominated the competition at that time. He is an offensive coach and likes to create chances via the wingers and have midfielders who infiltrate. He started out at Beveren and despite being here for only half a season, I still miss those days. Best football we played in over a decade. This + the CL games against teams like Madrid prove he can get good results against bigger teams. He won the title multiple times which proves he can keep his team focused for the 'smaller' games against the other teams in the league. I really thought he was gonna do a good job at Monaco but it was a bit of a mixed bag in France, I can't really provide any insight there as I don't follow the Ligue 1. I wish you and your team the best of luck

Or Nick Cave. His Wikipage describes his music as characterised by emotional intensity, a wide variety of influences and lyrical obsessions with death, religion, love and violence. Seems the perfect fit.

Frankly, when I see who might have been appointed, I'm reasonably content with either of these two candidates. The choice isn't really about their CV's, which are fairly comparable, but about the strength of their character and their ability to dominate and lead a group of players who may not have the most honest application to their responsibilities.

Just seen this, I think he will be ok.

A blue suit and brown shoes is not the attire of a gentleman. As my late father would say: He looks like a hielan' sailor dressed up for the dancing in Kyle.

A lot of noise about it being Clement but I’ve just seen he wears trainers with his suit and that is not on. I sincerely hope someone hands him some brown brogues before he is offered the job. We need to get the right fit for our football club.

I don't want to be The Male Eunuch, even if the book sells millions. I volunteer you to ask. Nicely.

I thought Raskin but pressed Lundstram by mistake.😡

I wanted Clement from the start but lately I can't get Paul Le Guen out of my head and the Aussie is starting to grow on me. The fact is that no one will know for about a year if any choice was the right one.

I agree. Charlie Miller had a bit of a career but not the stellar one predicted by Hateley.

I'm not saying I don't think he deserved to go, I just hate how many managers we've gone through in the last decade or so. I think hiring him was probably the issue, we need to get away from a manager being a massive punt, but more than anything I wanted to see him succeed.

I cautioned at the time we were too wedded to Murray and I know you did too. I also saw the absurd reaction that you did when some fans dared to protest against him. That evening shames us all and sometimes it's hard not to think we earned some of the nightmare we were about to go through. Of course, once the barbarians were allowed (invited) through the gates, it was too late to do anything about it. But it didn't have to be like that.

Chris Jack's just rubbished this.

Jacques Brel on repeat for those in the pound seats

An act of apostasy! Look at Clement's track record - very impressive. My cousin, a Rangers fan who supports Melbourne Victory, says Muscat would be a gamble. And he tipped me off about Ange before anyone here had heard of him.

I can see arguments for both but I will go for Clement for his European experience.

You should always back the outsider in a two horse race nothing to lose but plenty to gain

Rushes to identify the culprits and cross reference the Beale poll. Edit - AHA now I see them now ......

That is sickening to hear. I thought you were a Rangers man.

Gone for Clement. Already regretting it. The “Sack Clement” element on here will be after my blood by Xmas.🙄

You can thank Mr Murray for most of that

This thread has gone off on a Jeff Banks like tangent.

Looks like Bisgrove lent him a suit

Hopefully by 'plane, and not by camel.

When the baws up the park the other lot won’t score

Aye, I'm in the same boat tbh, its maybe the name, clement, reminds me of the Jeremy the sailor. Muscat is becoming far more palatable than a couple of weeks back.

No. He didn't know who they were (or knew and wasn't saying).

This is depressing.

My only guess as to why its London is that Heathrow is probably one of the most accessible airports in the world and its away from Scottish media, although I could be well off. I can't see any other reason why we would do it there.... If anybody can find out where in London specifically, I'm not too far from there, I can get the binoculars and be Gersnet's man on the ground
