Bring Your Own Socks Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I’d be grateful to the posse gathering if they could share the likely candidates with “experience”, whatever that means, for the position of head coach if it were advertised. I’m guessing someone with Premiership experience, taking teams to cup finals and will happily have just two nights a week to coach and be responsible for recruitment on a budget of zero quids. Must be willing to work long hours.Should be a long queue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that we're Queen's Park, nobody is going to arrive with an unblemished CV but there are guys with track records out there. Stevie Aitken would be one to look at. Did a good job at Stranraer and had Dumbarton punching above their weight in the Championship until they inevitably ran out of steam. I hope we win on Saturday, I hope we beat Brechin the following week, I hope we go on a run and don't have to do it, but you really can't get away from the overall body of results. We're currently on course for 32 points, which would put us in serious danger. How long do we give it if things don't go right on Saturday? We're in a situation where every point and every goal could end up being crucial to the shape of the long term future of the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPFC have had the likes of Billy Stark and Gus McPherson who could be described as having pedigree. There are lots of managers looking for jobs, and so there will never be a shortage. As has been pointed out several times, the Club currently is cash rich and so could afford to bring in a manager with 'pedigree' if required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm obviously talking about pedigree at lower league level and not Real Madrid. The guy I named had Stranraer in the League One playoffs twice, kept Dumbarton on the Championship and took them to the Challenge Cup final, albeit in its first year as a joke tournament. The club can be as cash rich as it wants, nobody with any sort of record is coming to QP when we're not paying players and have the trapdoor beneath us. The names being linked when MacPherson left, against the names linked when Stark and Speirs left tells its own story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymous Spider Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 The new Shankland, Robertson, Messi and McGregor rolling off the QP production line.... play 20 games between them and sign for St Johnstone for nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, they must have written the cheque at gunpoint. No other way they would hand over any dosh. Get it right up them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
