There are two lists Modern managers Darren Young Stewart Petrie Young doesn't have a particularly good win percentage - just under 38% with East Fife. But Petrie does seem to have a very good record at Montrose with a win rate of nearly 48% . Obviously stats on their own are dangerous but assuming Montrose doesn't have a big budget compared with the rest of the division (does anyone know?) Petrie does seem to be doing well and worthy of consideration for a step up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Would not say no to Jim Duffy tbh. Me neither tbh, done much better at Dumbarton than I thought (at least he was the last time I looked, which is admittedly a while ago) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully, I'm pretty sure that David Smith doesn't want to turn the club in to some sort of freak show circus.

Unless some random French junior football guy applies claiming to be the next Arsene Wenger and you take a punt on him. I'm torn between McIntyre or Houston, think we need someone proven at this level which leaves Petrie and Murray even as risks IMO. Question with McIntyre is if things were going v well and a premiership club came sniffing for him would he be tempted, i'd say yes. Club have to try and get someone in who's going to be committed to what will probably be a medium, 4-5 year plan to establish oursleves and maybe knock on the door of the premiership. Can't get into the modern culture routine of changing managers every 18 months - 2 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Petrie is the outstanding candidate if you ask me. If he’s in any way interesting you should be appointing him. If we’re looking at a joke appointment though it’s Alan Stubbs for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Petrie seems to be very highly rated by anyone who has seen his Montrose team play. They beat us in the Challenge Cup a few years back under him but I can’t say I know anything about him besides that.If he’s interested then we should be speaking to him based on how Montrose have been doing the last few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
