Not Jimmy Calderwood, please!

A lot of money on him in the last day or so apparently - and he's being bigged up on the Oink 'Un too. His record is decent enough, and he tries (at least in theory) to play entertaining football. But despite his achievements, as many Aberdeen fans are against him as supporters of his: his constant rotation drives them crazy, and he's all over the place tactically at times.

I've also often thought it's not at all difficult for a manager with a modicum of practical common sense to do very well with a mid-ranking SPL club like Hearts, Aberdeen, Hibs or Dundee United. Far easier than in the Championship, which is a crazy, crazy league, and in which most managers from up north fail. Tangoman and Norwich don't fit in my mind: best to steer clear.
