Kyle Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Just realised how self contradicting that sounded. Meant Aberdeen and Celtic would be the only two clubs that can afford him up here. Anything else on Clarkson? Still reckon he'd be decent for us at this level if he'd be willing to take a pay cut In fairness, he might not have any option. I can't see Premiership clubs lining up for him. Other than that incredible run when he first signed for Dundee, he didn't look particularly clever. Not to say he wouldn't do a good job in the Championship mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd heard County were lingering, may well have been shite though. In fact it was probably complete shite. I see your point though, other than the first spell he had didn't do much but like you said he'd probably be decent for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I heard he had some informal talks with us before heading to Mexico on holiday. I expect he'll be holding on for a gig in the top flight tbh. He'll be lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they've got a couple of others who's names escape me too. Clarkson would struggle to get ahead of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulysses Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Have to say I'm not too thrilled with the decision after reading what some of the Dumbarton fans on here have had to say about him. Hmm. Hopefully it works out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin time Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I see there's a bit of CV fabrication in there too.... Wonder why he felt the need to do that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 He wasn't actually our assistant last year. He was First Team Coach, Beuzelin left and Murray didn't bother getting anyone else in. He does seem to do well with the younger lads though and you guys have a lot of promise there it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 With a new assistant manager with such extensive youth experience, what will become of David Longwell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints Bevy Squad Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Longwell still has a job as head of youth I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't head academy coach at Falkirk either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Surprised that Murray has appointed Spalding if I'm honest, never really came across as assistant manager material to me. I really liked the fact he used video analysis etc, and seemed pretty clued up on modern techniques but he doesn't seem the like the type who will challenge Murray when he makes dodgy decisions. I always thought he was more of a coach than assistant manager. It may well work out tremendously but the Muzz and Spalding combo didn't really work for us. Our form in 2015 was the worst in the league I believe which may just be a coincidence. Spalding was never officially appointed assistant but did seem involved in the dugout on match days after Boozy left. Hard to judge really due to the difference in resources and the fact St Mirren are full-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddieInDundee Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I don't know why, but I dislike Longwell for no apparent reason. You're not alone. Gary Teale annoyed me enormously as well, despite him obviously being an okay sort of chap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's as bad as everyone makes him out to be. Still pretty young for a goalkeeper at 24 so hopefully we can get an experienced back up/coach in to help him out.
