The Hughes Poll

[Renegade 2,602]

So what do you think of that then?

[ICTRoughi 639]

I'm disappointed but would give him a chance.

[davieB 159]

Total bollox.

[starchief 456]

I'm kind of "Didn't want him, not keen on him, but prepared to give him a chance", which straddles both Optimistic and Fairly Disappointed.  So, not voting at the moment.

[Yngwie 4,141]

I'd have thought it kind of goes without saying that everyone will "give him a chance".

[Iain 58]

Obviously give him a chance but can't understand why he'd be chosen over someone like Kenny Shiels, if experience is what they were wanting.

[Donview 181]

Do we have to have a poll before there's even an announcement, if it's true give the man a chance FFS

True..  then again you don't have much choice!  accept it or don't go back, I know know what i'm doing.

[ictchris 1,201]

I'll give him a chance but if we lose to St MIrren he should be sacked.

[mikeyrob73 142]

Its a bollox appointment, the kind of thing I really hoped the board wouldn't do, another been around and done feck all manager. Plenty of young up and coming managers out there and we go for Yogi ! What exactly are they thinking ? hope the guy proves us all wrong be seriously fear the worst

[AlexJones 596]

No wonder Grassa resigned. This is the most indefensible clusterf*ck in the history of the club. Absolutely gutted by this decision.

[caleyboy 849]

Poor Yogi - I wonder if all those brave, mouthy critics (who probably haven't a Scooby what they are talking about) would slag him to his face! :ohmy: I don't think so . I think his success will depend on how strong his coaching and fitness team will be.

[Crusher 32]

Fairly Disappointed - Didn't want him, not keen on him.......but will of course give him a chance and get right behind team & manager.

[TopSix 658]

I'll give him a chance but if we lose to St MIrren he should be sacked.

I want this option in the poll

[cantankerousoldgit 75]

Well everyone knows the wife left you for a scaffy but time heals and you're getting over it and well what a night eh? with all them gorgeous exotic beauties to choose from and then BANG! you wake up with a splitting headache and some old scrubber from down the pub.

Disappointed

[PerfICT 1,212]

Gutted. So disappointed for the lads. We had to see Butcher's departure as an opportunity for bringing in real quality and/or a man who would instantly command the respect of the players and we get....Yogi! The risk is an exodus in Jan and failure to turn this year of exceptional promise into mush. Please prove me wrong - humble pie is at the ready - but he'd better get off to a cracking start because December-Feb will define our season.

[absent friend 72]

CaleyThistle fans??

I can't believe what I am reading on here.

A professional team selected him but of course the arm chair know alls are sure the team is incompetent .

I agree that he will not have the name to attract some English players up here but... In my opinion, he will have a team of players prepared to run onto the park through shut doors for him.

My only concern is the FORAN factor - let's hope they see eye to eye.

[+bughtmaster 1,022]

The RETURN of the dark glasses brigade...............I thought it was too good to be true.

 

The Cub have a history of choosing the right people, have a bit of faith.

 

To whom it may concern...................

Have you thought, if the club could choose it's supporters would you be selected ?........................ Just thought I'd ask !!

Great quote master Bughter......................... Give the man a chance, it's the least he deserves, he's no even sat in Butcher's chair yet.

[PaderbornCaley 738]

Gone for 'Pleased - He's a decent choice'

 

Out of all the candidates mentioned in media / speculated about on here Yogi was in my top 3. I think I voted for Shiels in the other poll though.  However my reasons for being happy with Yogi are as follows (in no particular order):

 

Great motivator and a natural leader.

I've always thought he comes across as the type of manager that players would work their socks off for.

He tries to play on the deck football.

He is a real character in the Scottish game - good rapport and engaged with local community at Falkirk / Hibs.

Very big on youth development.

Reasonable record in Scotland.  Did well at Falkirk and very well at Hibs in his one full season there.

 

He's not been officially appointed yet though but i'm assuming he will be the manager. Welcome aboard :)

 

 

 

[Scotty 2,802]

As I said on another thread .... I am ok with this decision. there is something about Yogi I like and I think (hope) he will do well for us. Hartley's record looks better on paper, and he would have been my preferred choice if personal reasons hadnt put the kybosh on it, but lets face it, Butcher wasnt exactly Manager of the Year before heading to the TCS either ... its what he (JH) does at TCS that will matter and I will judge him on that .......

[cantankerousoldgit 75]

Of course he'll get a chance. It's the club I support not a here today gone tomorrow manager but for the sake of the team I'll be behind him once the sicky feeling in my stomach goes. A good run over the next few weeks will help.

[bdu98196 1,136]

Personally I would have liked Hartley, but I have faith in the board, they have made successful appointments in the past so why not now? As a fan of ICT i support and follow the club and the players and if Hughes is the man in charge I will give him my backing and support. We have a strong team in a good position and the last few games have shown they know what they are doing so this gives him time to settle in and learn the players and club, then hopefully gel and build relationships to move us forwards.

[+Row S 268]

Must have been the cheap option - the others demanding too much money? My hope is that the players respond better than the fans.

[bauhaus 247]

tbh never even considered Yogi to be in the running, but hey now that it looks like he has the job. We will see decent, on the deck footie. He is good at developing youff, has a big presence and is a big character. Passionate about his football and to the point as i remember him. Still remember the day we were relegated, and lets say Butcher was out manouvered  by Hughes Bairns, whose tactics werent pretty that day but who stayed up.

I look forward to watching some great on the eye football, but with players a bit more talented than his Bairns team, which points to good times.

 

Lets get behind Yogi, and the team. Remember we got a semi final to win in February, come on Yogi's Army.
