I wouldn't even wish him on Dundee. That’s a fair assessment, I’ve always thought that as well to be honest. But in this interview, I thought he spoke very well about the game. Its never going to happen anyway. Edited May 14, 2019 by srw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 For the job at hand I'd actually take Derek Adams out of that list. Maybe his Dad can be DoF? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) I think it was @This Charming Man that mentioned it before, but Goodwin and Adam looks good on paper. Would be happy with that. Thank you. Edited May 14, 2019 by Bigmouth Strikes Again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his interview when McIntyre took charge it seemed quite an important point to Nelms. He seemed quite proud almost that he had gone into such depth looking at the potential recruits. The more I listen to Nelms the more I think he’s out his depth and just playing at it. Edited May 14, 2019 by Shadow Play 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Play Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Just watched a bit of Nelms interview when McIntyre had just been appointed. Nelms said at the time the “criteria has recently changed”. They were now looking for a manager with about 10 years experience and a good knowledge of the Scottish game. He doesn’t half like boxing himself in does he? The most worrying thing was that of the extensive list of potential managers he had McIntyre was right at the top of his list using the criteria the club had set out. I can only hope that the criteria for any new manager has completely changed. I’d also hate to see who was at the bottom of his list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Charming Man Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 11 hours ago, RandomGuy. said: Goodwin isnt ready for the top flight, one good season doesnt make a manager. I think you'll be massively underwhelmed if you ever see Adam play, hes fucking huge now so would literally just be standing in the middle of the park/taking set pieces, and despite the hype he was never actually that good at those. Good evening. Regarding Jim Goodwin, success for his current employers at Alloa Athletic FC is survival, arguably at a level which they have no business being at in the first place. No disrespect intended or directed to Alloa. This is, I would say solid management potential and considerable knowledge at the level Dundee will find themselves next season. Regarding Charlie Adam, respectfully, unfortunately you are speaking through your arse on this occasion! I have close ties and affection with his now previous club Stoke City FC and have followed their fortunes and games for nearly 18 years now. Hence I do see quite a number of their games, even more so since the Sky Red Button coverage of The English Championship this season after their relegation following 10 years in The English Premiership. This is in addition to taking in a game when I'm down in Stoke. Charlie Adam performed more than consistently well at a level superior to anything currently presented on our doorstep and would still walk, at 33 years of age into any top flight Scottish first team, Celtic included imo. Stoke City's new and current manager Nathan Jones, himself a potential rising managerial star rates Charlie Adam highly with his views and ideals for the game in a future managerial/coaching capacity. Charlie Adam and Jim Goodwin as co-managers may cost more than planned for, however with their substantial footballing network and knowledge of both sides of the border would be in my opinion priceless. Neither, as gaffers, I envisage would be willing to suffer any fools or clowns gladly and would be a breath of fresh air on and off the pitch.

Anybody with half a fucking clue about football knew Jim McIntyre was not the right appointment. Good evening. Might just be my opinion also regarding the above, however Mr Nelms should not be attempting to pin indirectly the "toxic feeling" at the club on the relationship between ourselves and the now former manager and actually take ownership and responsibility for what is now two extremely poor and misjudged appointments. Best regards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girth Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Surprising Stewart Petrie not getting some mentions, he’s a pretty intelligent guy but with a good banking job he may not want to go full time. Killie have suddenly become the Spurs of the North. The only way is down for the next manager of Killie, you’d be on a hiding to nothing taking over from Clarke. For someone like Goodwin Dundee would be a far better bet. I mentioned Petrie. Would be a great shout. It’ll be Strachan or McLeish.
