If it’s true and it’s a big if then that’s beyond embarrassing.  There’s not a single one on that list, including Graham that I want to see as the manager. Hopefully Nixon has got this wrong. If it’s true then for me it’s totally desperate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow & Redneck Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 That's bottom of the barrel stuff. Bara is an absolute wage thief if he's sat on his hoop for the last few months and pulled that as his shortlist. Club is rotten at the top. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy McD Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 So once our new manager is appointed , and at the end of August the transfer window closes, can some one tell how Barra is going to fill his day ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laukat Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 If the final 4 is Graham, Imrie, McPake and Caddis then get Graham in now. Imrie I could take but it would come with baggage and if he doesn't get off to a good start then that baggage will weigh him down Caddis has done ok at Hereford but he's not managed in Scotland so is he really a better bet than Graham? He'll also not get much time if his appointment means we don't keep our top goalscorer and don't get off to a good start However why on earth do we have McPake on a shortlist? McPake was terrible at Dunfermline and poor at Dundee. Only reason I can see him being there is he makes us all hope its Imrie and not McPake If Barraclough has came up with that top 4 then I'm already struggling to see what the point in him is. I suspect most of the people on this site could have came up with a stronger top 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hosie Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Due to family connections in the area, Hereford FC (and Hereford United that went before them) are my English team and I keep a close eye on how they are getting on . I've wondered for a while if Caddis could be a potential future Thistle manager. Or just in general be in line for a gig back in Scotland. I'm neither for or against his appointment but he is highly regarded. Took a part-time Hereford to within one game of the end of season play-offs in a largely full-time league. I can see how he could fit and why he could be a short-list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA : from Facebook Hopefully Nixon is talking out of his hoop on this one. I don’t overly want Graham at this time but if that’s the standard then just give him the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily stronger than the 4 that bloody useless Barra bloke came up with. Oh... None of them applied?

allyo Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 To be honest I don't really see how anyone at our level knows what will or won't be a good appointment before it happens. Most managers have some good seasons and some bad ones, and their success depends on a load of factors which are totally beyond their control. I think that's why managers who look good or speak well are always well regarded. Because there's not much else to go on. And "young, aspiring" managers are popular because they haven't failed yet. And again, because they're more likely to look good.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 One the Sitting Tenant One who wants away from a club One the out of job Usual Suspect One from left-field Probably a typical short list to be fair. No idea who applied for the job but have been rejected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 (edited) Caddis and Imrie both seem to be under contract for at least a year. Not like we have money to splash on compensation? I'm not in the know, so they could have release clauses in their contract if a 'bigger' team came in for them, I suppose... Caddis binned Myles Storey and almost the whole squad when he joined Hereford so I'm kind of liking the cut of his gib, already...

JAG1970 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Surprised McPake is one of just four, really don’t fancy him as our manager nor Imrie. Interesting that Graham is quoted by Nixon but Wilson isn’t mentioned. Perhaps they’ll go with Caddis and Graham as his assistant enabling the later to continue playing. But thankfully I don’t get to make the appointment., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Wikipedia can tell me, Caddis signed a one year extension to a one year contract last year, which would leave him out of contract end of this season.

laukat Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Not sure if I believe that shortlist as the statement suggested we were advanced and rumours were an appointment was due soon so not sure how the short list of 4 can just be coming out. That either means we're still a few days away from an appointment, the list is wrong or the list is been put out there ahead of appointment we might not like to try and soften the blow (here's Imrie but look its not McPake)  Caddis is contracted until 2026 and Imrie is I think on a rolling contract so compensation is due for either of those. Also find it hard to believe a list is getting out there that contains 2 people already in jobs. Can't imagine they or their current clubs would be happy with that being leaked if it was true. If we are considering paying compensation how does that square with the need to cut the wage bill by 20% whilst potentially replacing our main goalscorer? I don't think Graham should get it because he's the cheap option. I just think that if we are going to appoint someone who has to cut the budget and replace the main striker then we probably can't afford to pay a lot of compensation   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
