Glad to see you'll give him a chance. Rather someone like that than one of the proven failures that get trotted out every time.

Billy Reid has done an excellent job with Hamilton, winning promotion to the SPL and then managing to keep them in the division, he has achieved this through developing some talented younger players and has even managed to continue improving Hamilton despite losing his star player James McCarthy.
I agree with Babylon, far more exciting prospect than the likes of Dowie, Adams, Coleman etc.

Sorry for thinking we were going down the lines of Craig Levein again :icon_roll

Don't worry - he is different. He has found some amazing young talent to help him avoid relegation, like the young Aussie lad - Wesolowski.

Just because the Levein route didn't work, doesn't mean that every Scottish manager is necesarilly going to fail. If Reid is the best available man then so be it.
Levein came to the club at a time it was on his knees. I don't think we saw the best of him. Under-estimated the league.
I like you would like someone a bit higher profile but none of us would've picked Pearson out either.

Are all Scottish managers like him? There are a hundreds of Scottish managers you could list that have done well down south.
Of course they are. And all English managers are like Holloway. We're doomed.
That's nice.

Could you list these 'hundreds' of scottish manager who have done well down south?
He could be the next best thing since sliced bread, he could also he absolutely shit. Any manager we employ is a risk, I'd just rather we took a risk with someone who had some understanding of the league we play in.

Like Coleman? Or Dowie?

I'd doubt either of those will be seriously considered.
Personally of the realistic targets out of work I can only see Mowbray as a serious consideration.

There is a few to start with off the top of my head that have had some kind of success down south. I could trail the leagues and the decades to find a shit load more, but... well I have better things to do.

Holloway had knowledge of our league and that got us nowhere.
I can't think of hundreds.

Strachan has had success down here? Really?
Tbf to the OP a lot of those had played down here and had some experience of English football. Not that I'm agreeing with him, Jose Mourinho had no experience of English football before he came here.
