Darkness78 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Barry Ferguson incoming? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nairney Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) Sounded, to me, more like he was hedging his bets with some generic managerial chat. He has to see if he likes the sound of them during an interview; they have to choose him over four other candidates; then they have to make him an offer and then both clubs agree terms. I really don’t think he’ll have made any definite decisions, either way, until they’re quite far into that process… unless they already are of course!

We couldn't compete on any metric. The hope is that the new board is already thinking about what a new manager shortlist for us looks like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I agree. Nothing in there that was really beyond what you'd expect from a manager who's asked about speculation but doesn't really want to get into it, whilst also not wanting to lie and rule himself out. Ultimately it's academic, he absolutely will leave if he's offered it, but I think you'd have gotten broadly the same answer from Murray if you'd asked him six weeks ago if theoretically he'd be interested in a Premiership vacancy. I'm not seeing anything there that makes me think one outcome is more likely than another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJimmyofNic Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Pissing quicker he goes the better, hes had his head turned and if he doesn't get this one he'll be off at the next one, and that leaves not only us unsettled but the players as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I suppose we could've told Dundee to piss off when they asked to speak to Murray. I'm sure that would've ended well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more than Berra out there, I answered a question, just like I wouldn't say no to Davidson or Court for that matter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Whatever happens needs to be sorted by the end of this week. This can't be allowed to drag on. I was a Murray supporter when he was mentioned last season, however, he has failed this season. Failed to find a striker, failed to secure a top half finish, but this was partially caused by a budget that was vastly reduced. The only surprise is that Dundee actually want someone who failed to get Airdrie up and didn't exactly set the Heather on fire last season. If he does go then we need to look at Calum Davidson. If we go with inexperienced why not Scott Arfield as player manager with an experienced number 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
