grinderbrokeyourhearts Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I hope you don’t get him but Danny Smiths record speaks for itself. Can’t see it being long before he lands one of the big jobs again. Is it three finals in 3 seasons at Dunipace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digaba, McArthur & Johnston were on 2 yr contracts, Hawkins, Gemmell, Grant & Stevenson signed extensions and Malcolm plus McAulay signed later. So apart from the last two the others were signed up during Littles tenure as asst. Man or Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 If the key is getting somebody in quickly who is not currently with a club but has lots of contacts at LL sort of level I would have thought Kevin Rutkiewicz is the obvious candidate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Rutkiewicz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 No idea on whether he has applied but worth noting that almost his entire squad from last season were given free transfers by EK and I doubt all of them would have been on crazy money.

Neilly Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Rutkiewicz has been proven to be a poor football manager in his short career so far. There would be nothing appealing about going after him surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what's been said he's actually a decent all-round manager and a good guy, with a contacts list any club in the league would want access to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about the extensive contact list. Signed a bunch of old journeymen for EK on good money who done absolutely nothing. Most have now moved on to St Cadocs.

Deanburn Dave Posted June 3, 2023 Author Share Posted June 3, 2023 Out for a stroll and the word on the street is there is a lot of interest in the BU job. Nine was the figure I heard. Assume interviews will be held soon. Andy Shirra an applicant I heard, must be in with a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinderbrokeyourhearts Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 That would be a sensible appointment. I hope you boys get it right, it’s been night and day for us since we appointed someone who knows the club inside out and knows what it takes to win. Shirra I think was in your two in a row team before he joined us. Great player and lad. Good luck to him! ps I hope we pump you every time, but I want you at your best when we do.
