roman_bairn Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 So do you want all football stopped ? I’m not having a go mate, just asking your opinion !!I think there is a genuine argument that if we have to stop the two lower divisions with no consultation due to the impact of the virus then you have to question why the upper divisions are exempt.I don’t see the testing as anything more than a low grade mitigation given that a third of the teams in the top flight have already had cases and struggle to behave themselves. Add to that the Championship clubs will now be in a similar situation with some of those clubs including part time players.For me you either suspend top flight football wholesale or you don’t. None of this pick and choose based on size and perceived importance..... 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to what the authorities decide...... Will be interesting to see how that first round of test results goes in the championship. I've had 2 building sites just this week having to send everyone home for 1 positive test result on each. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Is that a death knell for your managerial duo or a Strachan type situation with us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Interesting. Surprised as I thought he would've been looking for a managerial post. Although perhaps that's his long term aim with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gav-ffc Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Didn’t see that coming but happy enough. He’s good friends with McCracken I believe after a spell at Wycombe together and he signed him for us also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Probably a decent choice. He will have a few contacts at Premiership and Championship clubs down South and should work well with the management team. Can’t help but feel that a three person management structure is a bit top heavy for a third tier team at a time when we are complaining about COVID giant size though..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 A bit like Hopkin, Holt got away from the Launderers very quickly. Would imagine their OCG wanted their stooge in place, so Holt got himself the hell out of there.I am sure he’s grateful for the opportunity. Just have to see how it goes from here....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Much better than the McCann and Calderwood types mentioned. Given our board seem married to this sporting director idea, I’m more than happy with this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
