Chances are that any future manager or players don't really care about the Goodwillie situation. Overreacting as per usual. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGlynn isn't perfect but I don't see anyone coming back with a better name to put in the frame. For every J McG there are a handful of Baz Smiths, Yogis, Lockes and Snakey McKinnons. While I fully agree, I also think JMcG is a mid-level Championship manager at best. His inability to adapt tactics and lineups since December have cost us dearly, and will continue going forward. However, as is noted, who the hell to we get to replace ‘em? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue the opposite. We've got plenty of good players tied down. We've got the best pitch in the league by a country mile and a reasonable fan base. We're in a position where we're ripe to offer a manager the chance to build. In all honesty, I doubt any manager in the league cares much about Goodwillie and will probably understand what we tried to do. There wasn't a single player or manager in the SPFL who came out commenting on the situation and you never see anyone within the game mention the circumstances when he's brought up. Even if it was, it's clear that it was a one off situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good points, but it will boil down to “is there the correct person(s) available at the time we are hiring” or are we capable of hiring him/her away from someone else, something I doubt. If we are hiring this summer, the first question asked will be what will the budget look like, and that might just end our hopes of a top tier hire. Considering all that, our best choice is an up and comer who fancies his chance to show he can build a team to get promoted to the Premeirship,rather than an established name. Of course, that’s risky, to say the least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Jack D Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I think I would extend for a year. He has half a team built for next year and an objective assessment of this season would have to score it as acceptable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I'd say the only club in this division with the remotest maybe of a chance of ever getting Jack Ross as their manager is Kilmarnock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. And he has supposedly turned them down. Naebdy is suggesting we are about to appoint him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but a fellow fan mentioned him as McGlynn's potential replacement. Not a single club in the SPFL outwith Killie and Scottish Premiership clubs could get him. He'd want too much money. Since Christmas I've seen Ayr, Falkirk, Raith and I think Dunfermline fans say they should go for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen nothing on here suggesting Jack Ross is a viable candidate for the managers job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireRover Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I can't make my mind up if I'd like McGlynn to stay on next season or not. That being said if he does go Ian Murray would be my preference, seems to play good football and has done well at Airdrie. Not sure of his contract situation though/if it is actually realistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohnononowheredidRossgo Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 McGlynn has too stay. Argument for him being our best ever gaffer and this concept of ‘next level’. What even is that? We’ve not played in the top division in however long. It’s moment in time stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be more cost effective to employ someone on 40k a year just to identify and sign strikers. So true, was Brian Graham the last good one he signed ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
