Aye,but dyou think Cormack would put giving a pal a job ahead of thinking(rightly or wrongly) he could get success with who he chose?

Yes, it happens in business all the time. It just gets framed differently. Cormack will have spent a lot of time convincing himself that it was the right call, with a massive bias at every turn. I've seen guys at the business end of huge deals make fucking terrible decisions because they'd made their mind up already and couldn't be convinced otherwise. Every pro amplified, every con written off as a minor issue. All packaged in hubris and self belief (of the decision maker). Whether it comes back to bite is down to luck usually. We all do it of course, but for some of us it might be purchasing a sofa or a car or investing shares or whatever. For Cormack, it's employing a fitba manager. They're all fairly trivial things to the people involved.

To be honest, the biggest difference in managerial performance is money and signings, so Glass will likely be fine as long as he's not ridiculously incompetent.
