Heard BarryFerguson has been interviewed

[SirJimmyofNic]

Its Steven Naismith wi Christophe Berra  

 

 

Just to be a bit different

 

[Broken Algorithms]

Should have interviewed McPake and Ferguson at the same time so we could laugh their applications away at the same time.

[Ro Sham Bo]

It'll be the classic tactic of putting a really horrendous name out there eg Ferguson to make us all eternally grateful when we appoint McPake.

Rab Douglas said in the paper he would be a good fit for us so he probably has been interviewed, not sure if I would be happy with that tbh Bit of the Gary Locke about him

Rab Douglas has been known to talk pish so probably is that a load of pish

McPake did take Dundee up against the odds.  Gary Locke can't tie his own shoe laces. 

I think he would be a good choice.  

shouldn’t have mentioned Gary Locke to a hibby in retrospect

The time frame from the Courier is very similar to that reported for the Dundee job, not sure if it’s guesswork or based on insider feedback.

I am not ITK at all and I am probably completely wrong but if the reported timescales at both clubs are correct, my guess would be that we want Thomson but he has an interview for the Dundee job and won’t accept our offer when he has a chance there. If he doesn’t get the Dundee job, he’ll take our offer. If he gets the Dundee job we’ll go to plan B.

I want Thomson to get the job but I’m not convinced he is worth waiting a lengthy period of time for if that is the case. Although looking at the reported alternatives…

Yeah could be right there

Me neither but then again we haven’t seen plan B

They told me to be ready to fly in to interview next week. Want someone to encourage the younger players, maybe a bit of out of the box thinking?

 

 

 

Just kidding, we’re not that hard up….

 

 

 

Yet!

The only thing I have to cling to is that we are hoping to interview Ian Murray this week and we are holding off on a decision until we've spoken to him. 

Other than that, I've got nothing.

Your definitely out of the box

Your chairman in Spain on a golfing holiday so be surprised if any announcement this week.

“Liam Fox was the standout candidate and as former player he knows the club and the fans, coaching experience at Dundee United, we felt he could take us forward” that will be part of the statement 

Not a bad effort, but needs a bit of 'fabric of the club' and 'understands the DNA' to make it more convincing.

I'm sure he can iron things out.

He'll have a phone, laptop/tablet, internet connection, Skype and /or a Zoom account.
