jaggy Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 5 hours ago, allyo said: I think he could do better. Aberdeen maybe? Or Hearts or Hibs. Surely one of them will be coming soon. He's very much in the situation that McInnes was; successful in Scotland, initially did okay in England but the club's mess caught up with him. I think he'll still be highly rated. Maybe Caldwell just has to convince them that he was unfairly treated by his last club. New board, budget slashed. Sacked when he was on the brink of League Cup glory. Sure he could make a case. I never quite understood what he did to get the Sunderland job to be honest. he won the championship for St M, but that isn’t a huge achievement. Archie did more in his first few years, the Ross County guys won the championship at the first time of asking, Martin Canning arguably achieved more over a longer period. Strange how some managers are perceived Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West of Scotland Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Realising the irony of this post, can we please let this thread die now, so Caldwell's name can slip forever away from the front page of the forum? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semi Nurainen Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 It usually does die naturally, but becomes resurrected when someone posts on it, asking other people not to post on it, which usually ends up with people posting on it, then other people posting on it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandy Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Caldwell quoted in this BBC football piece. Doesn’t come across as having learned from his time at the Jags; still wants to do things his way. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52552510 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grass on the shed roof and plants growing in the trees but it'll all come right soon, he's still aiming for gold at this year's Chelsea garden show. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a shame he only ever won one league game before a January transfer window in his entire tenure at Thistle, losing 10 and drawing 3. Point per game required this season to avoid relegation: >1 Points per game required this season to avoid play-offs: >1.1 Points per game acquired by Gary Caldwell 2019-20: 0.4 Points per game acquired by Ian McCall for Thistle in 2019-20: 1.14 Points per game acquired by Gary Caldwell in his entire Thistle tenure: 1.125 The best thing Gary Caldwell can say about himself in management is that he's mates with Scott McDonald.

East Kent Jag II Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 I see that the BBC are using Caldwell as a pundit for the Arbroath v Hearts game tomorrow evening. Will he use PowerPoint presentations? Will faux SAS kidnap other punters? Will he just show blank envelopes for the team line ups? I don't usually watch TV apart from news programmes, but my curiosity makes this unmissable!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess: several annual licence fees. Great value for money, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least if its as windy as it was when the Jags played & lost there, the BBC can put him downwind of the mics, & blissfully, we won't hear him rabbit on. Just see his lips move.

I imagine he tries to grow tropical plants in Manchester because he’s read about doing this, he keeps buying more and more expensive tropical plants as the others that die didn’t buy into his ideas. He’s also bought a very expensive biannual which has now flowered, and stopped his garden being a complete disaster, but won’t last much longer as it’s on it’s last season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
