Both would be a big gamble a road i don't think we should be going down where we are at now I'd still prefer Jack Ross or Derek McInnes as we know what were getting Neither.

Mainstand Sweary Mob Posted February 20, 2022 Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 It won’t be jack Ross anyway.With Jack Ross rejecting an offer from us, we are totally going to go the totally untried and untested route, aren't we?Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it won’t be Ross. Strachan I doubt. Brown could double as a player. Naismith not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross a no no. If Strachan was interested in returning to management, he probably could have taken the Dundee job, rather than recommending his mate.

Distance, wages and he's likely still being paid by Hibs so might not gain anything working for us. He was interested in the Dons job... so wages mostly.

magnus Posted February 20, 2022 Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) With Ross ruling himself out I am warming to the idea of going with an upcoming coach. I like what I hear about Naismith and I believe Brown is more than a pantomime villain. Both would need tremendous support with player budgets recruitment and contracts etc. So the question for me is, are we as Club, geared up to provide that support? We woukd need to appoint a good CEO - Tony is retiring and before him we had the exceptional Brian Caldwell. We would need a CEO of this calibre to help a young coach succeed. As an aside, I am impressed every time I hear Andy Webster speak. I think he is a smart guy and I wonder if there is a role for him as assistant to CEO in a new setup. We are likely safe this year from relegation so we can take our time to get this right and put a modern structure in place. I thought this type of strategic stuff is where the Kibble would be able to help. Edited February 20, 2022 by magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to act quick and any temporary measure is no use . Just look at Man united.

That probably sounds about right, my only fear with jack was it's a bit dodgy going back to a club after being successful, I reckon he has one decent gig left to crack it then it'll be back to Alloa for him. I suppose he can wait a bit longer, can't see where in Scotland mind unless it's Aberdeen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks pretty clear that we are favouring a recently retired player/new coach route and I’m ok with that. Out of the names, I think Naismith has the greatest potential.
