Suppose it could be looked on either way - a short timeframe so feels very rushed - eager to get the new guy in to get things rolling. I can’t see managers in the play offs wanting to commit to that so we can likely rule out Ian Murray and Stewart Petrie, albeit he was never really realistic. Play offs didn’t stop McKinnon from talking to Dundee United. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baillieinleeds Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Anyway why the clamour for Kevin Thomson. My dear auld gran passed away 20 years ago and could still manage Kelty with the cash they have. Btw I smell a Gretna coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s legal requirement but maybe they’ve got there man in mind already but doing interviews and applications as it law 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brashy's Boots Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 The fact that the closing date is Friday 13th is nothing to worry about, I'm sure. Nope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My excitement is dampened when I look at our board and former chairman. The very people who are charged with finding the next manager are not themselves well qualified to conduct the interview process. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the board are probably just trying to show transparency and that they are following a correct process. Adverts like that probably wouldn’t have been made public had we had faith in the board.

RosscoRiot Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 22 hours ago, Double Jack D said: I'm not hugely fussed for an explanation. If it was taking a big uplift in pay and an extended deal then I'm happy he's away as the last 6 months warranted nothing of the sort. Get the advert oot and start recruiting. We've not got the worst squad in the world so I refuse to believe we are not an attractive option for someone. Who tho, f**k knows! The last 6 months was inconsistent and the run of 10+ games without a win warranted a sacking, Jack Ross was mercilessly sacked with Hibs still sitting 3rd in the Premiership. The only saving grace was the spfl challenge cup win. I'd love to see Jack Ross take the club forward but I can't see that happening. McPake wouldn't be a bad shout either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We appointed her while all was well in the world. Everything that the board do is under the microscope just now so they will be thinking that showing due process is a good thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think it was Bill Clark who brought her in initially, helping out with marketing and such. Sim made her CEO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
