Abroath train in Perth so can attract players from the north/east of the country but also have guys from away down in deepest darkest Ayrshire. Assuming budgets are about the same there's no way guys are driving up from Stewarton to Aberdeen twice a week for training after a shift on the day job. There was a wee perfect storm of factors that has suited Arbroath the last three year or so and it wont be replicated elsewhere Bizarre shout and definitely would be. Cove will have the same goals we do this year but he would be taking a step back to a virtually blank canvas in his perspective when he’s painted a pretty picture here that he’s been working on 6 years For a PT model we have it nailed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 P&J's Paul Third article on potential candidates for our vacant managerial post is below; Stuart Kettlewell Jim McIntyre Stewart Petrie Barry Robson John Robertson John Hughes Petrie and the unproven Barry Robson are the only names that Interest me there. Yogi is a never and I flat out refuse to add him to the poll! Jim McIntyre and Kettlewell in the no thanks section. Robbo wouldn't give up his position at Caley surely? Interested to see who the bookies quote as favourite. Nothing out yet as far as I can see Robertson is an interesting one. He obviously took a backseat at Caley for personal reasons but I wouldn’t be too surprised to see him want to get back into management. Robson is a gamble and Petrie is a no go in my opinion. The rest are all best avoided I’d say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Belt Caley Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I would be very surprised to see Robbo leave his sporting director role to go back into management. Stranger things have happened of course but I get the impression after the circumstances that led him to take time off before he’s not interested in managing again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put him in the Yogi, MacPherson, Duffy, Hopkin bucket. All had pass successes in some form but wouldn't feel progressive hiring any of them Hopkin's "success" at Livi was down to Martindale and not him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The feeling I got was that it was very much the circumstances of the time between Covid and family issues that saw him step aside at ICT, rather than him deciding he'd never manage again. Looking at some of the other names he'd be a decent shout for Cove. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll need someone to come in and hit the ground running with signings. Edited June 7, 2022 by CoveRangers1922 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say did very well at Dunfermline some 10-15 years ago and at County 5+ years ago. What's he been doing the last 3 years, anyone know? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we passed him up for the job at least once, when we appointed Hopkin and I think he might’ve been interviewed before we appointed Kerr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoveRangers1922 Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) P&J reporting that "Candidates with experience of both the Scottish and English Premier League, as well as winning domestic competitions, have come forward." - Not obvious if the above means playing or managing in those leagues Moorhouse also saying; He told the club website: “I have been really pleased by the standard of the applicants. We obviously had a few names on our list but were open-minded about it and keen to see who might get in touch. Given the achievements of some of those who did, we have some real quality to choose from. “The most important thing is getting this right, irrespective of how long it takes. That said, given the list of candidates, I am confident we are in a good position to tie it all up quickly enough to give the new manager the opportunity to plan properly for what will be a challenging campaign Edited June 7, 2022 by CoveRangers1922 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubts his style of play would work elsewhere but you need to get the recruitment spot on. In your rise from League 1 to the Premiership did you really have any dud signings? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
