Both horrible scary thoughts Billy has really been in demand hasn't he !!!!??? Well of all the managers mentioned Billy Davies is streets ahead. He is a stronger manager than Jack Ross currently is and is proven at the top level with multiple clubs. We offered the job to him 18 months ago and Hearts would have too if he hadn't in effect told Levein he'd be surplus to requirements. Davies would do the job that Clarke has done for Kilmarnock. His record in management is way stronger than Clark's also. So if you prefer a flop like Neilson so be it but doesn't come close to Davies on any measure Edited May 24, 2018 by lenziebud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gc_SMFC Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Probably very unlikely. I'll probably be hated for saying it but Billy Reid if Graham Potter does leave Östersunds FK for Swansea, should be in contention.Excellent level of experience, in the Scottish league, and now abroad so you'd assume decent contacts and a pretty good track record at youth level. If our board are willing to risk the style of football though, is a different matter.Otherwise Zedek Zemen get the hipster support onboard and go down in attacking flames.

Yep Billy Reid is another good shout. He should have taken Swansea job when oferred it. Unlikely though.

Guest TPAFKATS Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 The very thought of pressley, hopkin, Billy Reid or Archibald managing our team gives me the fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Hopkin would be crazy to stay at Livi if he gets a decent offer elsewhere. He has been brilliant but has massively overachieved. And it will be downhill in the Premiership with them as they have only 700 fans; are in debt; and most of the squad are out of contract. His stock his high - time to move on.

Whoever we get, we need someone who actually wants to stay here and build something. We pwe Jack a lot for giving us our club back but he has been wanting away since virtually the day he walked into the office, Hopkin has been quoted as saying he won't sign for more than one year no matter where he goes so that doesn't look like an option. If we can attract a Neilson or a Pressley that would be fantastic I think. Another 'tit'bit from the mind of his greatness oaky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I’m aware the only thing he has ever won was the Championship play off with Derby, who were immediately relegated with a record low points total. But apparently he’s proven at the top level with several clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby County, Preston, Notts Forrest a level way above anything the Premiership in Scotland has to offer. Only Celtic are better than any of these clubs. Of all the candidates listed he is head and shoulders above them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because those clubs are bigger than St. Mirren, why does that make him proven at them and why does it make them “the top level”? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Out of curiosity, what length of contract is Clarke on at Killie? Although he’s highly unlikely to leave either way, I’d love to see us at least being bold enough to go in for him. A wee bit of baws. If he’s on any sort of lengthy contract though, obviously that’s not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabuddies Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Davies has not managed for 4 seasons and his last two at Forest were an absolute disaster. The Guardian reported that Davies' "paranoia", "self-destructive insecurities" and "obsession with conspiracy theories and old grudges" as the reasons behind his downfall, suggesting that he had "shattered" his reputation. He actually accused reporters of being in league with his former employers for questioning his decisions and never answered straight questions put to him at press briefings.

zico Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Davies has not managed for 4 seasons and his last two at Forest were an absolute disaster.

He actually accused reporters of being in league with his former employers for questioning his decisions and never answered straight questions put to him at press briefings. In those last 2 seasons at Forest, he only took over in the Feb in the first, took them away from relegation trouble and challenged for a play off spot. They were only 2 pts off the play offs in his second season when sacked.He got them to the play offs in both seasons in his first spell.Also got Preston into the play offs twice and won the play offs with Derby.He’s therefore got quite a good record of getting clubs into the top 6 of a much larger, more competitive league at a far higher level than the one we’ll be in next season!That said, I don’t doubt that he possibly has ‘issues’!

stlucifer Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 IF, and I reiterate, IF we need a new man at the helm, I hope Fowler wants to continue his Saints' journey, either at the helm or as part of the team going forward. If he feels he doesn't want to be head man then Robbie Neilson/Jamie Fowler team would be ideal and, I believe, highly successful. In fact it might be one of those "Jack who" moments.
