Jim Goodwin might disagree mind - Has Aberdeen up to 3rd now in the SPL and the only club outside the Big 2 with a positive goal difference. Not sure what the respective budgets might be, but I'd imagine Aberdeen's is probably bigger than Lincoln's?



True enough. Aberdeen have an argument to be the third biggest side in Scotland while Lincoln are a small club by League One standards. 

Goodwin, Kennedy, Barry-Murphy. All young. Hopefully one of them will follow Kenny into international management.

Yes, Aberdeen would definitely have a bigger budget than Lincoln.

Mad how you'd have this discourse and not have Stephen Bradley in here given his age and everything that he's a achieved. Technically he's managing at higher level than the rest too

Only managed one club though and it is clearly the best resourced club in the League for a number of years. Think he will have to cut his teeth elsewhere in time, but he seems to be doing a very good job for sure.

Fwiw, I'd have him behind Goodwin (Aberdeen are a big club with history, it's a big opportunity for Jim) but ahead of Kennedy and Barry Murphy in the pecking order. Didnt Bradley turn down the Lincoln job before Kennedy took it?

Hopefully all of the lads can progress further. Twould be great to see Goodwin get Aberdeen back into Europe and make them competitive again although their budget is a quarter of the 2 Big Scottish clubs, so there's probably only so far he can take them. A 3rd place finish this year would be a decent achievement. For Kennedy, it's a young team, a play off spot would be great. For Bradley, it's hard to see how much further he can take Rovers, is it time for him to take on a new challenge?

Sounds like Rory Delap is going to get sacked from his coaching role at Stoke.

Stephen Rice could be next to join the very small list of Irish managers in the UK. Swindon Town have approached the FAI for permission to speak with Rice.

Rice replaced Ruaidhri Higgins as chief scouts when he became Derry City manager back in 2021.

It always amazes me how these things come about. Like hes never managed before and from an English point of view he would only really have played in Ireland. So how does the chairman at Swindon think one day what about Stephen Rice? Im going to suggest he wont get the job.

Football community at that level is a small pool he's obviously impressed people at Palace or on coaching courses while doing his badges and the word travels.

Swindon in thr play off places to get back up to L1. No way they wud take a chance on someone who has never managed before i reckon. Although just looking they have had a mental amount of managers over the last 10 yrs

I'd imagine it's more a case that he applied rather than being headhunted

A well regarded coach. That seems to be a phrase thrown around an awful lot these days. Im not saying he isnt by the way.
