trueblueal 2,117 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Pardews odd have shortened, De Boer 4th favourite. Personally until we appoint a DOF I don't see how we can appoint anyone, even short term Cobham 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were going to appoint Eck he would have been in on Tuesday of this week IMO. I think it might be a risk going with Murty, but I hope he can step up to the plate and get us second and while it is a long shot win the cup. Nope. We approached Eck.

I have no inside info and if you are correct then fine, it was just my reading of the situation looking at the time scale, he has obviously turned down whatever he was asked to do.

McLeish as interim with Rae as his number 2. Another user I told mentioned this the day of the Morton game. I've not heard anything from the guy since so I couldn't tell you even if I wanted to if he knocked it back or not. I'm no bothered if people believe me or not, I'm just passing on what I was told and I believe the guy to be pretty spot on given his career, shall we say.

McLeish wanted to be considered for either manager or DoF after interim period was over which isn't happening. Why, because The Dude's site is speculating? Where did you see this?

I certainly believe you mate, I think I know the other poster you mean (not personally) and always believe what he puts up. I was just starting to think that maybe there was crossed wires in the story or a change of direction from the board. Anyway thanks for your info.

Orange Persson 547 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Would be happy enough to pass over Eck. I have no idea what this team would make of his tactics and they are certainly not fitted to his style of play. He doesn't have the luxury of match winners and real quality players. TBH he has not done anything in management for a long time. It would be same old story I think, with a fair bit of spend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitcorthie Loyalist 1 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 If GM is in charge till the end of the season, I am slightly surprised.I have to say that I have been impressed with him at the U20's games I have attended this season. Whether he can handle the first team is open to debate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I think game on Sunday away to Dundee will tell us a lot about Murty as a manager ... I don't think we were as bad as people make out against Morton .. I know they had 2 chances at the end because of our fanny defence but outwith that we were well in control STEPPS BOY 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 41-year-old Australian has developed a solid reputation in a similar post at Brisbane Roar, who recently ruined Carlos Tevez’s debut for Shanghai Shenhua by defeating the super-rich Chinese club in the Asian Champions League. Moore has guided the A-League side’s recruitment policy and contract negotiations since his appointment in 2015. He previously developed a network of wider contacts during a role as a mentor and advisor to international players with Football Federation Australia.

LegendofCoop 17,291 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Just thinking out loud here, and wondering if anyone else has thought the same. Wenger. I heard his comment today that he'll make a decision in March/April, and it struck a chord that FDB will do likewise. Would/Could it be possible that FdB will move to Arsenal in the summer, leaving Wenger out a job. Wenger seems certain he will be managing next season, regardless if it's at Arsenal or not. So, would we be able to afford Wenger? (I don't think he's that motivated by money). Would he come here? And would he still have the hunger to start from scratch? I think he's a tired looking man at Arsenal and his tactics are stagnating. Perhaps a new challenge could motivate him to take a fresh look at things? Like I say....probably a bit of a moonbeam, but just thinking out loud! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPmUNK 4 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I know Frank's name is out there and everyone seems obsessed with getting a "Rangers man" in so what's the chance of us enticing Gio Van Bronckhorst? Hes a former player who's actually having good success as a manager in a league that's not ridiculously far from ours standards and standing wise.
