Uncle Fester Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Have said elsewhere I think Peter Grant might be a candidate, he's leaving Alloa at season end so no compo needed, there is also the Norwich connection with Holt. Anyone know what Davie Weir is up to these days ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by what I've seen those sides are pretty shit too. Dundee have an utterly clueless manager. Dunfermline fans certainly aren't happy about their side and my heart's mates want neilson out the door asap as hearts are dire . Ayr have been plummeting for weeks. I think we can safely say that the league isn't a patch on the what it was 4 or 5 years ago . Makes the fact we're bumbling about in the seaside leagues even worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realise he won't be dealing with recruitment but there's a lot more pressure when your the main man than there is when your an assistant. I'd still personally prefer someone whose cut their teeth elsewhere than a total rookie again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m always drawn back to Darren Young, my gut tells me he would do well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PedroMoutinho Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) To be honest none of the names mentioned so far excite me at all. I’d be tempted to wait and see if we go up as I think we’d get a better quality of applicant. Realistically the Rawlins have come in to get us back to the premiership and I don’t see people like Peter Grant and Darren Young achieving that. As others have said, the quality in the championship is not great at all at the moment and will be even worse once hearts are gone. We would be an attractive proposition imo if we get promoted and the Rawlins out the resources in place to get to the premiership.

FWIW Taylor's been assistant a few clubs and managed in his own right at Limerick in Ireland for a season so he does have some experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa, Stoke and Ipswich So has Gary Holt but it doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things really i . He didn't last long at Limerick in his one previous No1 job and if he thought things weren't up to his standards there then God knows what he'd think of us. As far as I'm aware he's very interested in the post but doesn't think his profile is high enough up here to get it. Who knows to be honest I'm that scunnered I don't have a clue who would be decent. We seem to have an ability to turn half decent managers into complete shit anyway. Wouldn't be confident if pep rocked up.

ebobsboy Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I reckon the only chance a guy like Young or Petrie get the job is if we don't go up which there is a good chance of. The thing with these guys is they do well with limited resources and are comfortable at the level they are at, give them a bigger budget would it all turn to shit? Ian Murray being a perfect example. Did well at Dumbarton, went to St Mirren had an absolute mare, ends up at Airdrie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkthebigclub Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Things will be better once the new manager comes on board. Things will be better once Keena gets fit. Things will be better once M&M clear out McKinnon's dross. Thing will be better once McKinnon clears out Hartley's dross. Things will be better once Hartley clears out Houston's dross. We're football's equivalent of the old couple from When The Wind Blows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did well at Dumbarton, went to St Mirren had an absolute mare, ends up at Airdrie. Where he has pulled a team together, they have improved greatly since the beginning of the season and if this had been normal times with a full league would have bedded in for the first half and pushed on after Christmas and I suspect they would be the best if a rotten bunch. Murray is doing a solid job there and but for our surprisingly good run of form they are the best since the re start. I'm shitting playing them on Saturday. Just goes to show how difficult it is to get the manager right, what works at 1 club doesn't mean it'll work at another. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
