Fawlty Towers Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Can I be first with the "spotted at today's game" - I saw Jon Daly with Willo Flood (quite appropriate given the weather). The chairman stated in the programme that she hopes the new manager will be in place for the Alloa game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was very few other games actually on and they are both former Dundee United players so I wouldn’t read to much into it. They were probably just looking to take in a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Even though we were very poor for about 70 minutes of today's game I feel we do have a squad good enough to get into the top 4. I feel it will take someone with experience at working at a club who has been on a downward spiral and turning that around to get the best from this squad. Who that is I am not sure. But I think it would be someone who has more experience than someone like Jim Goodwin. I suppose it would be somebody like Duffy or Hughes.

Duffy or Hughes would certainly take us out of this division, the wrong way! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really want them. But I don't know if someone with either no or not a lot of managerial experience will get this squad playing.Big decision for the board. Glad I don't have to make it. From what is being said they hope to have the new manager in the dug out next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashman Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Martin Keown and Jonatan Johannson at the game, but neither to apply for the vacant position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlsarmy Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Jim Duffy sacked by Morton among others, John Hughes sacked by Raith Rovers, hopefully the board have at least a little bit of foresight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fawlty Towers Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 The Sun (I know, I know) has Gary Caldwell on the verge of being appointed. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/3344813/celtic-gary-caldwell-partick-thistle-manager/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivad Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Support for Paul Lambert with Bet Victor today, from 25/1 to 16/1 to 10/1 to 6/1. Still behind Caldwell 1/2, Duffy 2/1, McIntyre 4/1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laukat Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Please not Gary Caldwell, no experience of managing in Scottish Football, not a great managerial record in English football and even as a player totally uninspiring.

Hopefully you’re wrong, need to have someone who has an up to date knowledge and experience of Scottish football, Stephen Craigen ticks all the boxes for me .

His managerial record is (IMO) pretty dreadful. Played 29- Won 3, drawn 8, lost 18. This was his record at his last club Chesterfield. Could have been problems with the running of the club as they seem to have went into freefall and now lying at the bottom half of the vanarama league. Personally, not my choice but I'm hoping the board get it right with their appointment, whoever the successful applicant is.

laukat Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 read a few comments from Wigan and Chesterfield fans. They suggest his style of play is based on possession and endless passes across the back and side to side. Also complain he will sit on a lead. Sound familiar? We don't need a manager with a philosophy and who gives a good interview we need a manager who know how to win and get out of this division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 I think sacking our management team might turn out to be the easier bit of this. The board now need to get the right person in.What will they have to chose from,managers who have had ok records with their previous clubs then been sacked or managers who are just starting their careers and doing ok .Tough choice imo.Whoever comes in will need to sort out a squad of players who for 65 minutes today looked as if they had only just met.This decision could not just affect this season, but the next 5years or longer of our club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
