We’re the exact opposite, that requires a different kind of thinking. I don’t think Thomson, Alexander, McPake have that level of thinking with a team that haven’t got that cash to fix a problem. Still got to win in. Rangers has a massive budget in the championship but hearts won it. And Rangers lost the play off to a Motherwell team who had a much inferior budget than Rangers. Rangers did win it the next season but Hibs whose budget dwarfed Falkirk’s who beat them in the playoff semi final. Falkirk went on to lose heavily to Kilmarnock in the play off final. I think your being unfair to kevin Thomson and James McPake. Thomson done the job. McPake done his job and got promotion despite Kilmarnock having a bigger budget than Dundee. Lafferty on 6k per week! Thomson has it wrapped up early, McPake found form when it really mattered. I’d like to see both as end management team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to see both as end management team. It’s amazing what a massive cash injection can do. Dundee splashed out on Charlie Adam and turned their fortunes around. Kelty spent big. He also had really experienced heads in the team to navigate them to success. If Thomson comes out on top in the managerial race he’d have to bring Cardle as number two. I’ve heard he’s a good coach too. Plus the latter knows the club as well. Edited May 6, 2022 by baillieinleeds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me a first time manager needs to have an experienced assistant. By all means have Whittaker on your staff but management is a minefield and there will be all kinds of stuff you won't even have considered. Especially on a tight budget with an interesting boardroom to put it mildly. I think the issue we have is that just about anyone who would assist someone like Brown and is experienced enough would either want the Manager role for themselves or is out of our reach.

Also fair to say that McPake never really splashed the cash. Charlies wages are paid by an outside source. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the hypocrisy in that, but following the terrible decisions made in January (in which McGlynn played a part) we definitely should be making sure that we don’t hire a manager whose role-model credentials could be brought into question. Nah,dont get it.You wouldn,t want SB because of his persona yet would have happily kept JMc Off the pitch SB is nothing like he was on the pitch and is generally a decent guy.Doesn,t mean to say he,d make a decent manager though Having said that I,d rather give him an opportunity than some of the others been banded about 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain people I can’t stand over the years like John Brown, Ian Ferguson and brown is up there with them. Hardly any coaching experience let alone managing a team/ budget etc, not to mention the media love in really hope it doesn’t happen 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion of him is based on someone who’s played against him several times saying that he is indeed a twat, and someone who has had contact with him in matters not related to football saying the same thing. Those accounts back up the public persona. I hope he doesn’t get the gig but if he does I’ll give him a chance to prove he’s not a twat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Lafferty was not on £6k a week, certainly was incentives but not massive. The manner in which he left after last season made it a wee bit easier to negotiate. He’s wanting to stay but he’s going to be part of a wage structure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nobody obvious on the way up who could use us as their next step, closest is Thomson and he is damned because he had success but with a superior budget.

If you’d have beat Dundee or stayed up before the play offs then KL wages would have accumulated to 6kpw (money well spent) over his time at the club through salary, signing on fee, staying up bonus, goal no use and appearance bonus. He came in February with the club in a bad position so 6k per week for 4 month works out at roughly 2k pw. I won’t tell you how I know but he was on the 6k for 4 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
