kni Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20034544 He had probably taken them as far he could - "Adamson never played as a senior footballer but represented Scotland at police and junior level before his first management jobs in charge of the Scottish and British police teams." Adamson did well to get Dumbarton into Division One and I hope he finds another club. Good luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin1876 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 All the best to him. I think the whole team, Adamson included, are out of their depth in the 1st division, so hopefully he can get a job elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kni Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 The return of McCall to division 1? Or Gus McPherson? There should be a few candidates with experience of our division, e.g. Gordon Chisholm, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 The return of McCall to division 1? McCall won't take a part-time job, you can be sure of that. He's already knocked back Stenny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kni Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Gary Bollan? He was unlucky to be sacked by Livingston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpool Jags Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Not wanting to pish on his chips, especially as his head will be down at the present time, but Adamson might have to lower his sights a bit to get back into management. And so, with sevco 5088 surely on the cusp of seeking a replacement for their current, soon-to-be ex, liability...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kni Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) ^^ Rangers are top of Division 3 and McCoist is safe for now. Due to the transfer embargo, a new manager would be unable to sign any new players until 1st September, i.e. free agents only.

Due to the transfer embargo, a new manager would be unable to sign any new players until 1st September, i.e. free agents only. That's of course true, but having won 4 from 8 with no away wins, and halted at the Q/F stage of the Ramsdens at hunbrox, plus humbled at Stirling etc., even the sevco 'faithful' must be ready for a change. Personally, I think fat boy is doing a superb job and, given the transfer embargo that you rightly mention, he is a born motivator to have moved his charges from 4th into top spot (albeit just) as early as late October. Fat boy must stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat boy must stay. Large sections of the "faithful" have been yelling for a managerial change for the last few weeks on their forums and P&B. If McCoist sacked, Green would have trouble getting/funding a top class replacement to manage in Division 3. Step forward Smith or McLeish? My preferred candidate would be John Brown who, of course, has suitable experience of that division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bunny Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Large sections of the "faithful" have been yelling for a managerial change for the last few weeks on their forums and P&B.

My preferred candidate would be John Brown who, of course, has suitable experience of that division. McCoist has a good number of shares in the club (in lieu of wages???) and up to recently has been key on keeping the bears onside (with his comments not his management) - Green may see it better having him on the inside p%ssing out (an apt expression considering the comments he comes out with) than sacking him and making an enemy. Brown albeit in a rather thick way did ask a lot of relevant questions about who is really behind Sevco. Hasn't been a supporter of Green, anything but, though has been silent recently. Not likely to get the gig. They could "promote" McCoist to a higher position which doesn't involve managing the team and just get some experienced but cheap coach to take over - would easily do just as well if not better. For the moment I think Green will leave things as they are with the share issue coming up - though if Sevco slip down the table again he may do as I suggest and "promote" Sally McC - but in that situation would probably need a "name" but who would take it? I think serious managers would be very wary as it could all go pear-shaped, including Smith and McLeish. Possibly an ex-player who may have no particular credentials but will be popular enough to please the ursine brigade.

scottymagoo Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Agree, Fat Sally is very much the buffer between Green and the fans and so long as he's still backing up Green and they sit top of the league, poor performances or not, I'd imagine that he will keep his job. Despite some dissenting voices he still has huge popularity with the fans and will be afforded a much greater time to turn things around than anybody else would. The fans want Ally McCoist to succeed and feel he deserves his chance to learn his trade. Hopeless manager or not Rangers still have the players to see them through the part-time ranks of SFL3 and 2 so unless he decides to move upstairs himself or Rangers hit a run of catastrophic performances I think he'll still be in the dugout this time next year. Back to Adamson, there's an interesting article on his sacking and the split between part time and full time teams in SFL1 on Tell Him He's Pele today......... http://tellhimhespele.com/?p=2539 Edited October 24, 2012 by scottymagoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely dick campbell would be the obvious choice with his record in the lower leagues and hed be popular with the support after his videod outburst of rangers sentiment???

Sam Leitch Loyal Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 McCall won't take a part-time job, you can be sure of that. He's already knocked back Stenny. Jim Chapman was full-time and, I believe, Adamson was too. McCall 8/1 for the job with McBookie - Jack Ross favourite at 2/1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
