Kierkegaard Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 If it is DD, I think it's the kind of appointment we need after Jimmy. He's a real pro, still playing - well, sort of - at 40, highly regarded in the game. He should know about decent players we can actually afford. The comments from Forfar re young players are very encouraging. I reckon he'll be a good motivator who'll gain the respect of his players, and I can't imagine he'll put up with gutless performances. Hope it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it's true. He had a really good season just past for us. Age is catching up with him but he was a real organiser in our defence and could be argued was one of our best players in the team that nearly made it to the championship. If it is him then wish him well, he's been a model pro in the two season at us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzza81 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 BETTER THAN GODS, DARREN DODS. Note the plural when talking about 'god' as not to offend any of our Buddhist fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdenbeath Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 If it is Dodd's good luck to the guy. Most folk on here, myself included said we should look for a player/manager, so we could very well have what we asked for. As for him still playing I only seen him against Championship sides last season (Cowden and Alloa) but it has to be remembered that we are in the league below next season where fans of several clubs said he still did a job in that division for Forfar last season. Who knows if he would play every week anyway he would maybe rather be on the touchline rather than on the park. Got to be remembered that Mickey was the same age when he became player/manager.

cowdenbeath Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 On the radio it is saying Dods is the favourite, so not 100% confirmed. Knowing a wee bit about how the media works it looks like some press agency has put the story out about him being favourite (I seen it in the Sun and I believe it was also in the Courier), the radio has then obviously also used the story.

Muzza81 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 We were told the end of May, then we were told it work definitely be Monday, now we are all still hanging about.

Muzza81 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Who knows. It's going to be a season of speculation as we don't get enough information. Pre season must start in a couple of weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'd expect Dods would have good contacts in the game.and he would know exactly the type of player needed in the third tier. He does though sound incredibly dense whenever he talks, with respect to Cowdenbeath whatever appointment they were going to make was going to be risky, it will certainly be interesting watching it unfold. Due to Dods total lack of experience in a management position it's impossible to say how he'll do, however it's pretty obvious if you appointed Teale it would be a bad appointment, don't do that.

edinbugercowden Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Just wish we would get the info up so we know who is the new manager. Who ever it is lets get him in post so we can start gettin the team signed up for the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there is a technicality with tieing up a deal with the manager Again more speculation. We were told someone would be appointed today, a statement would be respectful. Even if it is saying the appointment has hit a snag or something. Keep the fans in the loop. It's a two way street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen Cowden Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Like most others I thought this was a done deal. Obviously not - yet. Bit frustrating for all concerned. Hopefully we'll get some sort of news today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
