E=Mc2 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Ian Murray has agreed a new 2 year contract to remain in charge at Dumbarton - that'll scotch the St Mirren rumours then http://www.dumbartonfootballclub.com/news/?mode=view&id=1349 Bookies just love taking money.

madball Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Maybe we're going down the Hearts route... bring in a Director of Football, deals with contracts and signings, and have a first team coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Maybe we're going down the Hearts route... bring in a Director of Football, deals with contracts and signings, and have a first team coach. Don't think so personally. If Hibs go down and lets be honest it very much looks like it then you have lost two good home gates for that reason the budget will be very tight I would think with some cut backs.

ds10 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) I would have thought if the Board were opting for TC they would have made the announcement yesterday. TC and one of the senior players may be an option.... ETA...Don't really see how TC alone is better than TC plus Danny...

archie gemmo Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Dont know if he has been mentioned before but what is the opinion on Steve lomas? Didnt do very well at millwall but done a great job at st johnstone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbar_bud Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 If there is an announcement today, then i would expect it to be TC as manager or Thommo as manager with TC as assistant Neither option fills me with confidence but cannot see the point in giving TC the role.

bigjerseybuddie Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Many of the regular match goers on here have commented that it was TC who was out on the touchline shouting instructions and encouraging players while DL sat on his hands in the dugout. While that in itself is not necessarily the sign of a good manager it certainly shows commitment and passion. There is also the general sense that TC has a gift for developing the younger players and that may what the board are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was meaning was that they retain TC as first team coach and only bring in a Director of Football. They could supplement the coaching staff by appointing someone like Goodwin, Teale or Thompson on a Player/Assistant Coach role. Wouldn't likely be any more expensive than DL/TC structure... if anything might even be cheaper. Just trying to think of our boards previous penchant for promoting from within, coupled with tackling the biggest failing under Lennon... transfer dealings.

Big Yards Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 What about Henrik larsson? He's been seen at asda linwood a few times and still has a house here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soctty Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Tommy Craig is not a manager. Shouting and bawling, having passion and commitment, do not make you a good manager. He is by all accounts a very good coach. If he is our manager we can probably lower our expectations. In saying that, I'll get right behind him if given the job, because that's what we do.

ADMITCHELL Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 If it is to be TC I am not overly enammered with the decision, he has no managerial track record(nothing good anyway) and to be honest I think he is a great coach so would want him to remain as a coach and let someone else worry about the other stuff. I really don't see the point in not renewing DL's contract to promote TC to the hot seat. Same philosophy, same coaching methods, same results.

oaksoft Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) But why show Danny the door, only to give the gig to Tommy Craig? They've shared the managerial responsiblity for what, 3 years? It makes no sense to me, unless Danny took a shite in someone's pumpkin lantern. The only thing I can think of is that Danny was the one making decisions. Maybe Tommy had better ideas which Danny avoided using. I'm speculating of course. Perhaps others are right suggesting someone like Thommo with TC as assistant. That would also make sense on many fronts. Edited May 13, 2014 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edinbuddie Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Get Ian Jenkins back, best football we've played in decades when he was with us Jenkins was only with us for the 'Wardlaw, McQuade, Lynch, Cregg etc' season. The great football season was when Tommy Craig (+ Thommo, Teale, Tesselaar, Hasselbaink, McGowan) came in.

BAWZ Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Let's assume Ferguson is an odious cretin, what happens if he does get the gig and proves to be very successful? When do we decided to surrender our principles at turnstiles, it at all? Now that is a very good question. I guess I'll cross that unlikely bridge if and when I ever come to it.

scam75 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Can't be bothered trawling back, anybody mentioned Billy McKinlay yet? Current Northern Ireland assistant. I manage a guy who's a pro footballer who just got a call to say stick a tenner on him. Source is an ex Blackpool player who is no stranger to the bookies and funnily enough no mention of Barry Ferguson!!
