Try adding a number.

Thanks, but I had a combination of numbers, letters and upper and lower case. I’ll try again from scratch later.

I keep getting a message when I try to register telling me that passwords have to be at least 8 characters even though mine is. I recall something similar happened last year so I gave up and paid at the gate.

I'm not really sure to be honest.  Based on his performance with us he may be a bit Gary Locke-esqe however it was his first job and he only really got 6 months to make a go of it.   I may have been in the minority but I felt that the players he signed would've eventually have came good under him.  Maybe/obviously not to the level we've achieved this season.  The days of a manager getting time are gone of course but I still reckon McCulloch might have something about him.

I got the sense that he got lucky last season. He got that “bounce” that interim managers often get because the players up their game being unsure who the new gaffer will be. But as soon as he was made permanent results went south.

Killie seemed to really struggle early on in games under him this season too. I’m not sure what that was all about.

Maybe he would be a good manager but because of all the stuff about him being “a Rangers man” and the media calling him “Big Jig” I’ve always found him a bit annoying.

Whilst that is true it’s certainly worth mentioning that McCulloch did a very good job recruitment wise in the summer.

 

Sadly it’s no good being able to recruit well if you then can’t manage these players effectively.

The media would certainly love to see “Big Jig” back in a job.

Have heard from a relatively solid source that Massimo Donati has applied for the job but strong favourite is Lee McCulloch. Not sure if the Easdales' involvement has been made official yet but it appears imminent.

I hope not. The difference Steve Clarke made to the same group of players at Kilmarnock suggests that McCulloch was out of his depth there.

I was really annoyed at the appointment of Duffy as his track record was pretty poor but until this season he largely did a good job. His recruitment and selections this season haven’t been great though.

Absolutely no comparison.

I hope you’re right.

Lots of rumours about the Easdales. Actually met Sandy as he was leaving Capplielow and one thing that struck me was he was fuming about today's result. Mumbled to my mate about that shite performance on the park. It's not just business with him,my impression was he acted and felt like I did as a supporter, which kind of left me a bit assured if he eventually takes over. 

 

 

I’m very uneasy about the prospect of the Easdales taking over. I fear another Hugh Scott scenario.
