Aye tbf his name always pops us when we are looking for managers. Think he’s pretty settled where he is.

Kevin Thomsons could be if he is offered a full time contract he can go. Same goes for any other part time team manager, I’m sure ray McKinnon had this clause when we got him?

I wouldn't be adverse to Thomson if it came to it - though his insistence on calling it "footy" is a sackable offence. Aye, he only achieved what was expected of him at Kelty, but even that is a real rarity in football tbh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) I’d take Thomson. Lots of “my granny could have won that league” vibes but how many times have we seen managers make a horses arse of things at teams with buckets of cash who should win a league easily?

Michael W Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Scott Burns was the one that first reported McGlynn to Falkirk. I wouldn't object to Thomson, who has made a success of himself at Kelty and is a young manager finding his way in the game. However he has had a fairly easy time there in terms of the backing he's been given relative to the other clubs and he won't get that with us. However, he would need to promise that under no circumstances will he bring Jamie Barjonas with him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Kevin Thomson wouldn't be my first choice. As we all saw with Barry Ferguson, winning a league in which you have the biggest budget isn't the greatest challenge, and more importantly isn't necessarily a great indicator of how you'll do when that's not the case. However, I'd rather have someone who's succeeded at a lower level than failed at a slightly higher one. It wouldn't be an appointment that had my head in my hands, a la Gary Locke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover the Moon Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I’d take Thomson ahead of McPake every day of the week. No guarantee he’d be good as it’s hard to gauge Kelty’s success given the squad at his disposal but he’s worth a punt far more than McPake. Sad to see how it’s ended for McGlynn and Smith. Absolute stalwarts for the club but the form and decisions over the last 4 months have left a sour taste in the mouth. Can only hope the Board get the next part right - but I won’t hold my breath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 I’d give Thomson a chance, but have a very low threshold for him being in the media talking up the Rangers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Anyone know how Kelty played under Thomson compared to Ferguson? Was there an improvement on the pitch as well as continued league success. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 The more I think about it, the more I'd be fine with Thomson. He wouldn't be my immediate first choice for the reasons others have mentioned. But he'd be a lot better than McPake. Lenmon has more experience but I'd still rather we went with Thomson. It's incredibly hard to judge. We all thought Hughes was the perfect man to get us away from relegation and we know how that went. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
