btb Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Looking at the tables it's interesting to see that most of the bottom 2/3 clubs in each division have already changed managers this season, the notable exceptions being two of @Skyline Drifters Untouchables - Annan/Peter Murphy & Livingston/David Martindale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) On 26/09/2023 at 10:30, Skyline Drifter said: If it hasn't happened before it certainly will have been very close. Part of the reason this thread began was to track the ever shorter tenures of managers and those who bucked the trend. I don't think it's any coincidence that the top five are working in fairly low expectation circumstances. Two of them garnered the majority of their service before they entered the SPFL and another two have effectively reached their own ceiling already. The other one, Annan, have virtually no record for sacking managers in the last 20 years and I imagine even relegation wouldn't see Peter Murphy lose his, especially as it appears they are at least competitive at a higher level. Campbell's done a tremendous job at Arbroath but he's too old to be recruited by a full time team at this stage and Petrie apparently doesn't want full time management due to his outside job. Campbell and Petrie are effectively already working at as high a level as they can realistically achieve. Given Martindale effectively runs Livingston as a club and isn't really in the same boat as any other manager, you then need to go down to Malky McKay in 7th to find a full time manager who actually has to achieve things to avoid the sack, and he's reached 7th with just over 2 years in the job! The nature of football will inevitably mean that other than those determined to remain part time, managers either fail to achieve and get binned by itchy trigger fingers within a couple of years, or do achieve and get head hunted by bigger clubs. As has been seen with the likes of Rogers, Gerrard and Postecoglou, even the OF can't hold a high achieving manager very long. There's always a bigger job across the Border somewhere. 9 hours ago, btb said: Looking at the tables it's interesting to see that most of the bottom 2/3 clubs in each division have already changed managers this season, the notable exceptions being two of @Skyline Drifters Untouchables - Annan/Peter Murphy & Livingston/David Martindale. I never said they were "untouchable" to be fair. I said they were working to different expectations as everyone else and two of them had reached their own glass ceiling. Martindale was bordering on untouchable I guess though not sure that's the case now with their ownership shenanigans. Going by his interview last week he's close to chucking it himself. Campbell's already been moved on since I posted that anyway. Petrie's still working at the best he can realistically achieve though and I don't see Peter Murphy being under much imminent threat at Annan even if they go down (they'll at least make playoffs now).

Unclear if either will get right to the end of the season but seems clear neither expects to be the next permanent appointment so I've left the positions sitting "vacant" at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted Tuesday at 13:25 Share Posted Tuesday at 13:25 (edited) Aberdeen again making life awkward (they did this when Craig Brown retired) by announcing today the future appointment, on a day not exactly specified, of Jimmy Thelin as their manager. It's been left as the vague "this summer" and "from June". Until Aberdeen confirm anything different I'll assume this means 1st June.
