Surely it's time for a return of Stuart Millar

Would rather see us go for a young up and coming manager rather than one of the usual dinosaurs that get trotted out for every job.

Maybe a manager from the lowland or even wos leagues that has had success and hungry to progress in the game.

Sorry..disagree entirely. Our aim, however slim, is to stay in this league…and I would go for experience just now. And get those recruitment charlatans tae feck. It’s going to be a tough job regardless who takes it though. 

[Brian Carrigan]

I think we’ll end up offering it to Allan Moore until the end of the season, and the next manager will hinge on the league we play in.

[Kempes]

The Club have not actually stated that they will be recruiting a manager. Are they waiting to see how things go with AM in charge or have they not decided yet? I expect they’ll already have been contacted by hopefuls, so that may have a bearing on their decision. Need to get this one right!

I mean he definitely matches our style of play right now, continuous loosing whilst tumbling towards relegation!

Yeah, salary saved to cover the redundancy payment. Very possible.

Hi, my name is Matthew and I am a second-year student journalist at City of Glasgow College. I have published an article on potential candidates to replace Danny. I've attached a link if anybody would be interested in reading. Thanks.

I've seen a few comments from Clyde fans on Twitter saying Graham Diamond and PJ Corr should follow Danny out the door.

Would I be correct in thinking that Diamond, as Head of Football Operations, was Danny Lennon's boss? If so, does that mean "Mr No" was involved in the decision to sack Danny?

Would he now be a major player in recruiting a new manager?

f**k knows what that lump of lard actually does. 

[FREDDYFRY]

I suspect like many have said, that Allan Moore will be here till end of the season. Obviously in the unlikely event that he performed a miracle and we survive he would deserve the job permanently. In fact, given some of the folk available and mentioned I’d rather have Moore than likes of Peter Grant, Yogie, McKinnon, Kenny Miller,  etc.

 
Much as I’d love some kind of proven successful manager I really can’t see how we could attract anyone with proven pedigree. Even on the premise of offering a platform to rebuild a career I don’t think we actually have that realistic platform. Who would that even be?

Fantasy names:
Jack Ross obviously mentioned often but that is fantasy. As is Thomson.

Tommy Wright? Again very much doubt he would be interested in coming given our situation, even if we could afford him?

Craig Bryson? Big gamble even if interested.

kenny Sheils? what he up to these days. Certainly get headlines.

Steven Naismith? Again can’t see it for all the reasons before. Also unproven. 

As I say absolutely no clue who is available to a club like ours or who would be interested given our current situation on and off the park.

If nothing else at least it gives us some speculation to wile away the days between defeats.

Happy to give Moorey a run for a while and let him implement his own style & ways. He knows the club, players and the fans have a lot of time for him aswell. He admitted post match on sat that we are already in a dog fight with Peterhead, not great hearing but at least he knows how serious the situation is and what has to be done.

I'm not convinced either but I don't think people on Twitter can judge those two.

Danny Lennon failing to meet his remit was obvious. 9 consecutive defeats, glaring holes in the squad etc.

I, and Twitter, have no idea what they've contributed in terms of recruitment. On the face of it, it's unimpressive, but I have no idea what players they have found and recommended. Did DL choose to go in a different direction, or were we simply unable to close deals for whatever reason? More information required.

You'd think as a fan owned club there would be some degree of transparency available to owners. It's one of the (myriad) reasons I didn't renew. Paying two people to do jobs when we have no idea of their day-to-day and the downstream process - especially when he have volunteers propping the club up at various levels. Absolutely horrendous from the club.

It just makes it look like the real reason we have no info is the club has been conned into giving two charlatans contracts. It wouldn't surprise me if the board wasn't even aware of their process. We can't even name one player that's come from those people.

I can tell you that Corr spends most Saturdays watching his half of the ugly sisters. 

[Ocelot1877]

With regards to Diamond and Corr. We really don’t know much about what they done and how Danny worked with them. This should be addressed at the meeting , as they might be getting it in the neck for Danny not wanting to work with them. For what it’s worth, the repeated failings in areas regarding recruitment and bringing back Nicoll, Munro, Lyon etc reeks of Danny acting and not a recruitment team. 
 

In terms of a new manager I reckon we either give it to Moore for the season or we end up with someone like Jim Duffy to try and sure things up for the rest of the season. A new manager would want a summer window and a club not engaging in a relegation battle on November 1st.

I always thought the guy sitting with the laptop amongst the player section of the stand was PJ Corr.

Using transfermarkt, that's every transfer window under Danny Lennon. Some right nightmares in amongst that lot with arguably the only good windows being his very first (Lang, Love, Grant, McStay and the Huddersfield loans) followed by January 2020 minus Wylde as the 3 loans made us a better side and we had that 3 wins on the trot and looked to be heading up the table before covid hit and the season was curtailed. Even summer of the promotion year, only Rankin, Lamont & Syvertsen really made an impact IMO. Belmokhtar could've possibly hit plenty of goals if he never went AWOL.
