Feel like if it all goes tits up the Simpsons content will still be excellent. He's Yogi not Sooty. Izzy whizzy, let's get bizzy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he might have turned us down and Montrose have got a bit worried about their prized manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Petrie has no balls. Anyone with ambition would take a full-time job in football.. If he's such a financial wizard he should have all his ducks sorted. Probably fills cash machines. Okay, a bit tongue-in-cheek. Don't bash me. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 When the board double-checked Petrie’s CV and realised he hadn’t recently relegated a team from our league they withdrew the offer to him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1885 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Seeing SP sign that new deal makes me think we did go for him so I'm pleased in that respect. Obviously not so pleased we didn't manage to tempt him but. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Petrie's full time job away from football is well noted. When you consider things bonuses and, more importantly, his pension (I imagine the matches contributions from his bank role will be pretty substantial), it's an absolutely massive risk for him to leave to take up a full time job in football. Between the wage he gets there and his Montrose wage, he's clearly going to be earning a lot. If he took on the job, potentially he could be sacked in a year, and then have zero income and will be without the aforementioned benefits. You would think that he would need a big wage and certain conditions were he to take up a full time job, and I don't image DAFC could come close to matching them. It is possible that Petrie may have a financial plan in place whereby he needs to work for a few more years and save for a few more years before he is in a position to give full time management a shot. It's also possible that he is happy with his life and doesn't want to go full time. We don't know. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would any one his age, with a good secure well paid job he clearly enjoys, with all the pension security that comes with it... along with having a hobby doing something he loves (very well) in his spare time .......and also getting paid for, give it all up for a high risk, lower paid job with no pension security despite his obvious affection for Dunfermline?. Is he married with a family? His wife would be having kittens if he even suggested it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish football isn’t the allure of the English Premiership and this isn’t Football Manager. We are talking about a grown man that has responsibilities to his family. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Ross Graham isn't dead. He must have finally escaped from Peter Grant's basement*, as he makes the bench today. Worryingly, with Vytas away with Lithuania (he came on as a sub for them last night), he's the only central defender on the bench. An injury to Breen or Connolly and we could very well see his return... *Or exchanged with Leon Jones 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought they actually played ok again Northern Ireland despite not having much of the ball. But agree we need him in and hopefully we can bring Morris in soon so we can drive the United loanees back over the Tay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's now a weird rule where you have to play a friendly during a scheduled international period if you don't have a competitive game. Graham and Dorrans are on the bench today. The team bus could take a detour on the way home and drop them off, or stop in any dark woods, open the door and say "You're free now boy!" like Homer does to Chief Wiggum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
