Inigo 32,526 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Getting upset about a brand, spanking new temp-manager with no managerial experience whatsoever maybe not getting a press conference 100% spot on. Does this not maybe suggest that this over-analysis of every, single word that a manager produces has gone a wee bit too far? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just listened to the interview, and 'scared' 100% does not represent what he was saying. Doesn't strike me as a scared type ... not saying he's as a shouter and a lion but I think people confusing being well spoken and laid back as a shite bag - no one knows a thing about him good or bad ... we will have a better idea after this Dundee trip and next game or two so I'll make a judgement then .. he might be a shite bag dud or he might be calm and calculating ...

At the end of the day, he's highly unlikely to be managerial material for us at this stage in his career, but the guy has stepped up to the plate and put his neck on the line as a complete rookie, so I think people should cut him some slack when it comes to shit like being upset that he said going to CP is a daunting prospect. I mean, I'm daunted by the prospect right now, but he's the manager and with a bit more experience he might not have chosen to go with that word (which was fed to him btw, he didn't just pluck it out of thin air). But that's the point, he's not experienced. In terms of interviews though, he's come across remarkably well overall for someone thrust into the limelight from his position. I think jumping on the first small, small mistake (if it even is that) is just massively unfair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRW. 5,631 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Eck was going to be interim but only on the basis he was considered for the job, or the DOF role, at the end of the season, which wasn't going to happen. Supposedly... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLUEDIGNITY 33,647 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Well you better get to like him because the site has him posing with attitude in front of an image of Ibrox and they are calling him"Murts" now, feel as though I've known his for years now, think it was the "Murts" that's did it! ?

The fact that he seems to have given Dundee any thought as an opposition at all is a step in the right direction! All this 'it's all about what we do' stuff we've heard for a couple of years is a great sound bite and good for getting the fans behind you but at no point did anyone think he meant it and didn't give our opponents the time of day when it came to analysing their team!

gmcf 34,175 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Quite like the way he's been saying the right things and conducts himself but first and foremost it's what happens on the pitch that counts . Still think it a bit of a gamble going with a rookie with 2nd place , Europe and the Scottish Cup still up for grabs , though to counter that , you just don't know the attitude of an interim manager who probably knows he'll have no chance of the job come the end of the season .

Couldn't care less if he was in the job a day, that's a pathetic statement. I don't think it's embarrassing at all! The guys been a first team manager for a week and not through his own choosing! Plus he seems honest and isn't going to give us any bullshit bravado! Given the same turgid, regurgitated shite we've listened to for 20 months I find his pressers informative, honest and enjoyable.

Gallows high 208 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Will show how naive and short sighted the board are if they they think Murty can do a job til the end of the season . Before the season ends We have 2 games against the monkeys , a cup run and 2nd place to play for and we get fuck all of these if he is in charge . He was a rabbit in the headlights against Morton , reminded me of McDowell standing there with his arms folded saying fuck all The guy is a tool , talking about how his old man is a sellic fan recently - fuck off , should have been emptied with the 3 stooges Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Christ. The guy has a good, good CV as a youth coach, was a pretty impressive signing in that department when we got him and now people want to cast all that aside (being promoted through the ranks at Norwich and Southampton) because he said in 2007 that his dad is a sellic fan. I think if we're going to challenge the tims again, these kinds of warped priorities wouldn't be likely to help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1872 20,718 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Is Murty a tarrier? Just watched his press conference and he certainly loves the tims and is "daunted" by going there in a few weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That moment in 2007 means that it doesn't matter what he does now, he won't get a chance with some. Who cares about the fact that he has a good pedigree in the role he'll be performing for us in the future. We can definitely afford to get rid of good quality staff because of flimsy sellic connections. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 2 hours ago, K.A.I said: I've no read the article but he says is "daunting" and again without reading the article I wouldn't be surprised if the content meant the headline was an exaggeration could be wrong tho It is a daunting task for a young inexperienced manager with a squad of p,ayers lacking confidence, but that does not translate to 'scared' as some have implied. I am sure many of us have faced daunting tasks and actually looked forward to the challenge. Sunday should provide a good indicator of whether or not he has the players backing.

This is exactly the kind of sound bite we've been given for two years and it means fuck all. The guy has been thrust into the limelight and probably every game is daunting for him at the moment.
