I think the addition of someone with experience would benefit the manager. He tries to play a football system that's beyond the capabilities of the players he had. So much so that nobody, fans included have any idea of what's supposed to happen.
It is obvious that quite a few players don't want to play for the manager and I'm sure Duggan,Dunsmore,Page,,Lamont Kane will follow Wilkie and Goodfellow out the door. Probably Wilson Jones and Mutch will go too.
I'm not sure if McManus and Smith are staying but along with Slattery and Docherty I hope so. Not fussy about Thomson nor Linton . So as someone mentioned a big rebuilding job.
