Greatest Ever Manager

[chris123]

With so much talk about the caley managers curse and CC being one of scotlands up and coming managers just thought it would be interestin to see every ones opinion on this

[The Mantis]

Too early to judge 10CC I'm afraid. Pele the best of the rest for me. We used to give teams a couple of goals of a start in those days. Then we'd spend the whole journey home just marvelling at what we'd just seen.

[Pele_Is_God]

Agree totally with Mantis.Pele by miles so far, although im excited about Christie/Park and I believe they will take us to the next level. :003:

[Scotty]

Christie has the potential to be the best manager we have ever had, but right now its still Pele

[Johnboy]

I agree with Mantis..!!

[Guest Cotter]

Im not sure as no other manager was in charge as long as pele. :024:

[crownjaggie]

Agree it has to be Pele.  All the rest didn't stay long enough.  CC may well prove to be the boards best selection in years to come.

[Harry Chibber]

There wouldn't have been a team if it wasn't for Pele

[Guest Kieran]

It definetly has to be Pele

[Action Man]

The board has to be mentioned here, they picked the managers who got us to where we are. That aside where are we in the league? CC.......... :021:

[troublegum007]

got to go with everyone else on this and say pele. looking good for CC at the moment though

[Action Man]

Pele is history, CC is doing the business. But here is a thought, how about bringing back Pele as Director of football.........no offence to Grassa meant. Only a thought. :023:

[Yngwie]

Pele was great......

HOWEVER.......did he not have at his disposal Robson, Wyness, Christie, Ritchie, Mann, Tokely, Hart, Duncan, McBain, Hastings, Munro, Keogh, Xausa, Golabek and others...and fail to get them anywhere near the top of the First Division?

[kencar]

Pointless poll. Every manager has brought something to the table although arguably Pele contributed the main course

[Tug]

tough call

would probably go with pele

just cant help but wonder what robbo could have done if hearts hadn't come sniffing.

must say though long live CC :021:

[Pele_Is_God]

Who voted for brew! :014:

What position were we in when he left?

[Pele_Is_God]

Werent we top by 4 points, and Robbo dragged us down to 4th, where's statto :014:

Who voted for brew! :014:

ha! that was me! i just felt a bit sorry for Craigie B..... on today of all days. thought i'd give him a sympathy vote for getting rid of barry's lovehandles or summat.

[Pele_Is_God]

:015: :015: fair enough!

[tm4tj]

Circumstances mean that Pele will be construed as our best ever manager, but hold on, he was managing a team in the lower divisions whereas CC is holding his own in the SPL.  Only time will tell if he will go on to achieve the greatness tag or will Pele be the the champion.

[Beer Monster]

Where's Grassa's name in the list? I might be mistaken but is he not undefeated during his caretaker role? Just a thought....

[ictchris]

Pele for me.  As said previously, took over when we were in a pretty precarious state, he brought in some fantastic players he knew from the Highland League (McArthur, Teasdale, Thomson, Stewart etc) and had us playing absolutely magnificent football.  Going up the divisions he had a great eye for a player who'd been released from a 'big' club and unearthed some cracking players (Wyness, Robson, Sheerin etc).

Also, the fantastic team spirit, attacking football, brilliant comebacks and cup shocks/runs.  The man is an absolute legend.  there is only one Pele.

As for the others, Robbo won the league and the Bells Cup and has to be considered second best.  Brewster was fortunate to inherit a side who knew how to play together and added a few tweaks.  Charlie is doing well but it's hopefully early days and Baltacha was *****.

[Alex MacLeod]

We were indeed top of Div 1 when Robbo took over. Then we made some really hard work of winning it.

To be fair to one or two of the players Yngwie listed. Hastings was there for first two seasons in Div1 then crossed the bridge. Xausa went to Livi before the end of the second season. And Hart and Keogh didn't arrive till our fourth season in Div 1

Also, to be fair to Baltacha. He did take us to sixth in our first season in Div 3 amid a very bitter merger war.
