Ross County's Next Permanent Manager

[Ludo*1]

f**k sake lads, bit of an awkward time to announce this.

Usual list applies.

[frankthetank22]

That's a terrible list of names

[Jim McLean's Ghost]

Did Mark McGhee die?

[Rcfc fan]

The lack of Stephen Robinson and Derek Adams on the list is frustrating 

[Comrie]

Midge as a manager, what a thought.

[Hazbart]

Tommy Wright is a stick on once he activated the relegation release in his Killie contract 

[Yorky]

Surely Robinson has to be on that list ?

[Guest Peter LaFleur]

League 2 winner and League 2 MOTY RayRay McKinnon?

My fear is that It's going to be Cowie and nothing will ever change.

My hope against all reason and logic is Roy can work his charm and convince Tommy Wright if he leaves Killie (play-off excluded, he improved Killie and was unfortunate that County somehow won 3 games in a row, something which we haven't done in the Premiership since 2015 IIRC) or Derek McInnes

It's more than likely to be a promotion from within.

Going off Wright’s interview post Dundee last night he sounds certain to be staying at Killie. Don’t think McInnes would come here, reckon he’ll go to United or back down south.

I’d love Stephen Robinson but I’m not sure he’d relocate and he’d also probably prefer the United gig. Sad to say but I think you’re right with Cowie. It’s the cheap and easy option and Roy knows he’ll just be another yes man.

Neil McCann is a heavy favourite with the bookies now, If it's him then it confirms the club has no ambition or plan other than 'Who was at caley before? lol'

He may even tur out to be a good appointment if he does come in but the point would still stand. 

[Samsonite]

Lot of talk regarding Neil McCann, will imagine whoever it is will be announced quickly due to the amount of players out of contract, could be massive change in personnel on & off the park this summer.

[frankthetank22]

Stuart Petrie needs to be on that list, along with Stephen Robinson & Neil McCann.

All of which are better options that those on the poll above.

[staggy4life]

John Kennedy plz.

[Afc69]

None of the above.

Its Barry Robson, trust me

I don’t see that Tommy Wright has improved Kilmarnock at all.  Barry Robson is a name that has been around the blocks a few times and makes sense, however last time around he wasn’t even being considered, despite bookies’ speculation.

This, it strikes me as a move to try and say “look, we got McCann after he rejected ICT hahaha”.

I’m not saying that he would be a bad appointment but it would be a hell of a gamble to appoint him based on 3 months or so at us where he only actually won 4 out of the 13 league games that he was in charge for.

He did to a good job for us and I’d have been happy if he had stayed on at us but I don’t think it is enough for him to be getting a gig in the Premiership. There must be someone better out there.

McCann did well in his recruitment in his 1st season at Dundee which is a big thing we need rn. I wouldnt hate it and tbh I dont know who I would rather instead.

Isnt that like every pre-season in Dingwall? As someone who probably doesn't follow it that closely it always seems like they're bringing in 7 or 8 minimum every summer.

And that again in January when they discover the 8 from the summer are shite.
