Apart from the usual 200, TP was revered by the rest. Relentless March. I admire that 😀 H

Early days I know, but what a sterling job this guy is doing. Has a certain way about him, the way he conducts himself in interviews. Really beginning to see why he was so popular with Northern Ireland fans. Just hope we don't end up getting him poached by a bigger fish. Must be getting noticed what he has achieved in such a short time. After taking on a job that so many other managers wouldn't have dared take on in the situation we were in at the time. He hasn't achieved anything yet, as himself has pointed out. So he's safe with us just yet. It could change if we won promotion this season, so what do we do? Stay down and keep the manager, or win promotion and lose him? To be honest I don't think he would leave. He's building something here, which could go on to be a real feather in his cap. Whereas if he went to, say, West Brom, Brighton or another perennial struggler (once those jobs become available, and they will), he could soon be out of his new job.

Apart from the usual 200, TP was revered by the rest. Dream on March. There’s the lens of now, the lens of history and the lens of denial that you seem to see the world of SCFC through. Denial is a curse that affects a lot of people who suffer unbearable bereavement. Usually though it’s related to relationships far more important than a football manager. BM

He’d take a job at Celtic in a heart beat, that’s for sure. What makes you say that?
Off the top of my head I can think of half a dozen reasons why he wouldn't, but you go first.
(P.S. Clicked the "Like" button on your post instead of the "Quote" button and can't see how to reverse it. Sorry)
Bit of a tongue in cheek comment drawing comparisons to Macari. Don’t think it’s a million miles away from the truth though, it’s the sort of job you could see him doing.

Lou is a man of the people, more than any other manager we have had since Waddo.

Macari was probably a man of the people, but also he was driven by fame and money. I guess there was a reason for leaving us for Celtic.

Celtic was,and is, his team, he would have gone there regardless.

Without going into detail I know a lot that went on at the club under his management first hand- The John Gayle transfer, Stein to Newcastle etc and all money motivated. Let's leave at that. No one could blame him for going to Celtic

End of the cup final showed the support for TP when he came across to applaud us as we rose as one to reciprocate his emotion.

And , most fans are not on the oatcake , I know loads of Stoke fans and not a single one liked him , yeah they appreciated what he did but were glad when he was sacked

As Macari never managed us at top level we can't compare what happened there. We spent a decent amount,£500k here £1m there, small beer by today's standards but Lou had fuck all in comparison. On the odd occasion Lou did have some money he made some clangers: Caruthers, McMahon but it's a much smaller sample.

Mon as got big boots to fill to achieve what lou did... Don't get me wrong I hope he does.. But the times under lou will live with alot of us all of our lives. I would personally say under lou was even better than getting promoted to the Premier league
