His name appearing in the bookies list is down to someone asking for odds on John Kennedy then throwing money on it. The bookies aren't privy to managerial selection processes, they grab names from far and wide and wait for people to ask for bets. It has no bearing on who you appoint or who is being interviewed. There's a well-known troll on BAWA.com who has confirmed he's done exactly this, so yeah, that explains it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name popping in the bookies last week quite high. Your feeling is wrong. How naive would we have to be to appoint a guy with zero managerial experience, no great career to attract players, and no link to the club whatsoever? Don't ever, ever believe anything the fat man on BAWA says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the best of the front runners for me. With 30 odd applicants there could be a surprise coming. What about his comments about the budget? His comments on the budget show an intelligent manager who understands the link between budget constraints and expectations, and why they should bear some relation to each other. If he were to accept the job, he'll have agreed on budgets and expectations with the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that mate have wrote the new manager may not even be on the bookies list. It' a strange one to put money on Kennedy , or is it I only know of one Saints fan who tipped him just after Ross left and he said Ross recommend him. At the end of the day it's all speculation. Next week you would think an appointment will be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what we need. Premier League experience during the great job he did at Hearts, good at working with youth, young coach not unlike Jack with fresh ideas and approach. He even proved himself a far better puppet than Ian Cathro... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Reading that article it's a fight between us and Real Madrid for Guti's services Goes back to what I said a few days ago - we were missing some random, high profile former player being linked with the job in the way Seedorf and Kluivert have in recent years.

Stu Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/alan-stubbs-gary-caldwell-set-12634438 So going by this from the PDE, we're looking at one of Caldwell, Stubbs, Neilson, McIntyre and Oran Kearney from Coleraine. Haven't had a chance to find out much about Kearney, the rest all have positives and negatives. Probably still Neilson for me. Unless there's any truth in the Guti stuff, which would be fun if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
