billymehmet1 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Murray clearly has an eye for youth a few of his signings over past few years Mark McLaughlin , lee Mair . Van zanten . Shuggie Murray . Colin nish. Looks to have a great eye fir a player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Saints Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Where does Teale go from here? Down to the lake I fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billymehmet1 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Wonder if teale will now head in the opposite direction as Dumbarton manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Not too sure on this one to he honest. Certainly a pretty big gamble. Our youngest manager ever at 34? He's never managed at full time level, he has no network of contacts down south as he spent pretty much his whole career up here... And according to Dumbarton fans he isn't that keen on youth players. At least he knows the division I suppose.., Might work might not, no real way of judging based on his career thusfar. Either way, welcome to the funhouse Ian Murray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billymehmet1 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 To be honest if you look at his stats. He has a win rate of 37% as Dumbarton manager which is decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, welcome to the funhouse Ian Murray. You can't have contacts in England if you have never played / managed there what utter tosh. I suggest you look at some of the players Murray has played alongside before coming away with nonsense like that. Every Saints appointment is a risk but this is needed. Fresh start, no internal baggage and an ambitious young manager. Pretty much all we could hope for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billymehmet1 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Conceded 79 goals last season. Finished with goal difference of minus 43. Please someone tell me. Why we appointed this guy. Makes no sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying having had a career and extensive contacts down in England is no advantage to a manager up here? Utter tosh, I'm afraid. Just need to look at Butcher and the guys he picked up from down south to see the advantages of having good contacts down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no sense He kept his part time side in the league we are now entering - narrowly missing out on a play off spot in one of those seasons. I think that just about covers it.

Was it not Butcher's side kick who scouted they players and found some gems? Either way contacts or scouting both have been things we have lacked for years.

Utter tosh, I'm afraid. Just need to look at Butcher and the guys he picked up from down south to see the advantages of having good contacts down there. Never said it wasn't an advantage but you don't need to have worked in England to have contacts there. He played alongside some top international players so I'm pretty sure he will have kept in touch with a few. And last time I checked Norwich was in England although he wasn't there too long.

Lanarkshire_Bud Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 There's always going to be an element who can't wait for the new guy to fail. It's some sort of permanent rage complex. They are only happy when things are going wrong. When there seems to be an air of positivity they have to suck all the atmosphere out of the room.

Mid Calder Saint Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 TopCat. Murray played down south for Norwich.On the question of age I would have thought that Tony Fitz was very young when appointed as was Alex Miller.As for Dumbarton being part time with no deserve side it would have been well nigh impossible to blood youngsters apart from loanees.Welcome to the Saints Ian.
