Not keen on Bradley or that guy from Dundee. Rightly or wrongly, too much of a throwback to Neilson and they would be more of a gamble than others. No obvious links to clubs that we can take advantage of like Russ with Norwich - his connections really helped with recruitment of players like Jerome and Surman.
I agree that they both give flash backs to Neilson but that doesn't mean they'll be anything like him. Neilson really has tarnished our trust in managers from outside England.
Nielson was a complete drip in interviews and didn't seem to have much about him at all. Watched a few interviews with Bradley and he doesn't seem anything like that, thankfully.
I said similar about McPake, but to be fair the point around LS being involved this time is a good one. It should stop either flooding the squad with sub-standard players from their own countries. (To be honest Ireland can be a gold-mine for talent)
It's a good point about contacts though, although the days of Russ dragging in talented buddies seemed to be over this summer and replaced with us looking at young lads Luke Williams liked.
