THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Why would he come back?

Mark Warburton would be a decent shout did really well at Brentford but also has experience of Scottish football so may know a bit about the Scottish element of our squad.

And if he doesn't fancy it, he can always walk away. Then if the team he's walked away to don't want him, he can try and walk back, saying that he never walked away in the first place.

I think we should look for a proven 6-month option now and re-assess in the summer.

Whoever the next longer-term manager then is, I really hope we can agree some kind of deal that doesn't tie us to 6 or 7 figure pay outs if it all goes South. You fail, you're fired - just like in every other walk of life.

No manager would sign such a contract.

Your point about - you fail and you’re fired, and you therefore get no money - is fair enough only if you assess whether they’ve failed over a long enough period.

Congested February coming up.

One point I’d add (as well as the lack of experience) why I don’t believe it can be Rubio at this current point in time is that whichever candidates Pete sits down with from tomorrow, they’ll all need to show that they have three or four deals in the pipeline and ready to conclude the moment their appointment is confirmed. Pete will know we have to bring the players in urgently. That was the case under Robbie and it remains so.

For me, the fact Ed wouldn’t be able to hit the ground running on the recruitment side will mean he’s not considered.

I haven’t seen Steve Brown mentioned anywhere yet, was it a coincidence that he was brought in in the last couple of weeks?

I can’t see it, TBH.
