true_rover Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Seems that Houston will be staying at Dundee Utd, at least taking charge of the Boxing Day game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I really don't think he'd be a particularly good appointment for Dundee United. Despite a promising start, we've hit a downturn; it's now almost two months since we last won a game. It would show a bit of a lack of ambition, IMO. They should be looking at going for someone a bit more established than McGlynn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Toun Lad Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Atleast the loan signings might continue... Would devestated if McGlynn went to United as, although our form has dropped recently, I have complete faith in his ability as a coach and manager to bring us out of it sooner rather than later. I know he'll also build on our progress on and off the field year after year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Westander of County Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 McGlynn is no fool and seems to have done well with managing and getting the most out of the resources at the Rovers. Hang in there for Div 1 survival and take it one step at a time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downturn is negated by the fact that we don't have access to the quality of players to do better. The title, the great start, the youth development abilities and the lack of any meaningful compensation being due make him a decent shout. All of that makes me sad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably dirt cheap too. It's all shite though eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanElderRRFC Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Kevin Smith has extended his stay with us until the end of January, and Johnny Russell will be at Starks until the end of the season. Good stuff if you ask me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 That is indeed fucking excellent news. We were looking pretty threadbare up front all of a sudden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Looks like Kev will be away back for good at the end of January then. Would've preferred to have him til the end of the season instead of Russell but you can't grumble too much I suppose. Good news overall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Starko Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Russell in my opinion, is a waste of a wage, no matter how much we're paying him. I'd prefer Smith till the end of the season, but hey ho it'll have to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Smith's out of contract at the end of the season, I think. Keeping him out on loan won't really do much good when they need to determine whether or not to keep him. I think Russell's been unlucky. He's been thrown up front on his own a lot in his time here and has understandably struggled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Right then, are we resigned to the fact that John McGlynn is leaving for United, or are we still hopeful that these rumours will prove to be false? I think it's looking more and more like a foregone conclusion, even if nothing is agreed yet. It looks almost certain that United are going to approach John (if they haven't already), and unfortunately for us, he'd be mad to say no. I don't really want to start talking about a new manager before John McGlynn has definitely left, but I'm bored so I'm going to. I was warming to the idea of Billy Brown, because he's obviously been in the game for long enough to not be naive about various things, but then again he's never managed before, and I don't think he's worked without Jim Jeffries, so he's untested, but there are various reasons to suggest he'd do well. I'm not dead against Danny Lennon, but I'm not sure he'd want to leave Cowden at the moment, because they're flying high and he'll be enjoying himself immensely. Whoever comes in faces a pretty tough task though, because they've got to try and keep us up without the luxury of being able to say "Well, I won the league last season!" like John McGlynn can. If they don't start off well, the more fickle among our support could turn against them pretty quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I'd be happy with continuity, so Paul Smith. Don't know a lot about Brown but he sounds like a decent candidate too. I'd have my doubts about Lennon (even if he wanted the job, which I don't take for granted). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I've seen a couple of mentions on *sigh* FanTalk, of Mickey Cameron coming along to assist a new manager, as well as playing. Is there any evidence to suggest there's any chance of that happening? Has Mickey been taking his coaching badges, and is he likely to be free to move? Is he getting a game at Dundee, or is he keen to leave for first team football? Frankly, I don't think it's very likely, but I'd like to know what the actual evidence is behind the suggestions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Starko Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Right then, are we resigned to the fact that John McGlynn is leaving for United, or are we still hopeful that these rumours will prove to be false? There's nothing official, so I'm still hopeful the rumours are false. I was warming to the idea of Billy Brown, I don't think I'd be happy with Brown, it's not a great excuse, but he doesn't talk a lot of sense, imo. I'm not dead against Danny Lennon This is who I'm warming to. He's done a fantastic job and Cowden seem to be staying right up at the top of Division 2, although I have no idea how. Especially with all their money problems. I would like the board to dig deep like they did when seeking McGlynn. I mean how many people expected McGlynn to get the job. I bet most of the support didn't even know who he was, or had only heard of his name before. I don't see why we can't look down the ranks of SPL or even English clubs. I'd be happy with continuity, so Paul Smith. So would I. Also, I don't think he would be required at Dundee United as they already have Peter Houston and McGlynn's previous assistant, Gary Kirk. I suspect the board would go down this route. Mickey Cameron I hope not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I don't think Mickey Cameron is an awful idea provided he fits in with the following criteria: He's already taken a few coaching courses/earned badges He's still playing as well as assisting We're not paying him shitloads We can get him away from Dundee for nothing/very little I just can't see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
