Very experienced and knows the Scottish game, think it would be a decent appointment. A bit of a shame for Brian Rice though, but OK needs freedom to choose who he wants as number two.

foxbar_bud Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Everyone was critical of Stubbs not talking the club up and being a negative cloud over the club.The most enjoyable seasons in the past 10 years have been with Danny and Jack in charge of the club, two guys that were mega positive and seemed to have an affinity with the club and fans. I won’t be criticising Oran for being positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t be criticising Oran for being positive. I love the fact our new manager is so positive but I hope the supporters are a tad more realistic in their expectations. Comfortable top six would be magnificent. A couple of Europa league medals for the lads a wee bonus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keniggia Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 I admire Oran Kearney's ambition, but someone other than Fitzy needs to have a word. Winning the league is not realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 I would rather Jimmy Nicholl than Darren Jackson. Imo he would be a sound appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykey Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Slightly disappointed that he would settle for a league win, surely his ambition lies in Europe, FFS Tony, have a word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will need someone with knowledge of the Scottish Leagues , that could be Rice or Nicholl , I would trust Oran to pick the right guy.

He's been given time and pulled the entire club together and he is universally respected for it. I for one am hugely excited to see if he can replicate that with us, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a shame for Brian Rice though, but OK needs freedom to choose who he wants as number two. It would be a shame for Rice as he left his position in Inverness to join us, and from our side we paid money to ICT to bring him in. His knowledge of Scottish football would be very beneficial. However if OK feels there is someone else he'd rather work alongside, then he must do what's best. As long as it's someone with Rice's sort of experience of our game, he needs a knowledgable head next to him while he learns the way here.

RussellV1 Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 There was a line in the interview posted above where OK said something like “there’s a coach there who didn’t get much of a say” that I found interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddies1877 Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Interesting in his interview he says when asked about getting backroom staff in that he wants to wait and get feel for what’s needed there is already a coach still there that didn’t get much of a say with the previous regime.Sounds like Stubbs didn’t even get on with Brian rice lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be delighted with that arrangement. I wonder if there's grounds to the Nicholl rumours, or did the reporter just chuck his name into the interview?

ulysses Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 "Didn't get much of a say or much coaching time" Why bring in an assistant if you don't let him coach? Stubbs didn't do himself any favours did he? Aye I'd be fine with Nicholl being part of the staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
