Two proven, guaranteed, failures and you'd rather them than give someone who could go either way a chance. I genuinely think its remarkably similar to us. We were in a low point (finished just outside relegation from First Division), new manager came in, rebuilt the club and put in foundations but wasnt able to get over the final hurdle of promotion. He got poached. We then hired midfield captain in his first role. Found our club forum thread when Coyle was announced as going, and theres plenty of chat about McInnes being the "cheap, easy option". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Are we expecting an announcement on the backroom team "imminently" ??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Loved David Castilia as player but does he realise how much of a prat he's coming over in the SRE page. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back room team will start taking shape tomorrow, players and back room staff on day off today , I would hope he keeps Stewart but not sure if he would keep Brannigan as he was brought in to support Stewart , I believe he will want his own man in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I'm onside, he has talked about retaining our players on longer term contracts, a lot of us have been bemoaning this for years! I hope the board have listened to this as it is crucial for us to be a success by signing up players for 2/3 seasons and then selling them on. Another plus of this appointment is that it frees up a wage by appointing within we can bring in another player which means if Doolan goes to Thistle we can expect to get two decent players in. I also think this could be glorious! The comparisons to Roberts are a bad one, shiny teeth was an egomaniac I don't get that impression from Kerr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacky1990 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Whats the deal with Kerr continuing to play? Cant think of too many recent examples of player managers being good in both roles. Given your smallish squad, how big a loss would Kerr be as a player? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He dictates games and we tend to play a lot better with him in midfield. but he is getting on a bit and his injury seems to be a niggley one now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This only works when players have a good season and are wanted by other clubs. Longer contacts can tie is into players who are underperforming or regularly injured. It works both ways. In general though, I agree. When you know a player is going to be a talent then a longer contract would help us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
