jaybee Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 4 hours ago, Bud the Baker said: R was ruthless in getting rid of players he didn't deem capable of cutting it in the top flight. He was then approached first by Ipswich and then Sunderland creating uncertainty at what is IMO the most important stage of the season (sic). I think anticipating the situation (a bit of skullduggery even ) and having a replacement lined up to takeover as soon as JRs move to Sunderland became inevitable would've been a better option than the current situation. Got to agree with this; TBH I thought the board would have had laid the groundwork already given that it was a sho-in JR was offski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Wee Robbo from ICT would be a better option than McInryre or Stubbs imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Stubbs isn't inspiring in the slightest but is better than Caldwell or Mcintyre for me. He did a decent enough job with Hibs in what was a hard league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid Calder Saint Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Mcintyre for me neither Stubbs or Caldwell have managed in the Premier.McIntyre had decent records at County QOS and Dunfermline.Yes he was sacked but so were the other two.The only reason you have a shortlist is because most of the interviewees were sacked at some stage in their careers even Brendan was sacked.

ulysses Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Neither of those names excite me one bit. McIntyre at least has a reasonable record in the Premiership. Oh well, if it is Stubbs then I'll have no choice but to get behind him 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't understand it either. Each won a cup in Scotland. But.... Our last manager to do that didn't have his contract renewed. The one before left us. It seems to be difficult to be regarded as a winner in Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuD Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 I'll be disappointed with any manager that isn't Stephen Kenny. However winning my bet at 25/1 and getting it up most of this forum would be a decent consolation. So John Kennedy it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll start with Stubbs, McIntyre, Kennedy or Caldwell Sorry John. I don't look at it that way, although it's tempting to do so. Each of these and Hopkin could have good arguments in their favour. I don't know much about Mellon or the Irish guy so couldn't dismiss them either. This is a time to trust the board to pick the candidate that they feel confident in and for fans to back their judgement. The manager has a hard act to follow after all of the hype (deserved) around Jack Ross. He will need to maintain and build on the link with fans and play entertaining football in a tougher league. He will need strength of mind as well as an eye for a player and tactics. I think the most difficult of these is managing the expectations of fans. At least give whoever is chosen a decent period to prove themselves - we were (most of us) patient with JR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykey Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Apart from the obvious excitement of guti, Kluivert, and Mccarthy, and I don't know how realistic any of them were, everybody else mentioned is a complete disappointment, I'm really sorry but I can't root for any of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
