Announced as Head of Academy and First Team Coach. Absolutely over the moon that the club is making a renewed commitment to bringing through young players again. Privilege of being in the top league. Decent level of coach to get in too, Hamilton's youth set up is really well regarded to a bit of a coup for us Edited May 21, 2021 by ATLIS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Yep, I jumped the gun. I imagine he will be de facto assistant. I always felt like Dougie Imrie was one that got away during his playing days. Exciting that he is the one helping to get the academy back under way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he’s done very well since retiring. I’ll tell you what though, I utterly detested him as a player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exciting that he is the one helping to get the academy back under way.He won't be the assistant. His first priority is his role with the new Youth Setup and first team coach is secondary.We are still to appoint an assistant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be decent, last we'd heard we were close to signing a left sided player on loan, two CBs and a GK on loan. So none of those would really fit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 https://livingstonfc.co.uk/marvin-bartley-to-become-livingston-fc-assistant-manager/ Bartley new assistant. Hoping he does actually concentrate on that rather than trying to balance it with playing every week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Interesting choice. Sincerely hope it works out, but as above, the role is given the time it requires, and playing is a bit of a secondary thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping he does actually concentrate on that rather than trying to balance it with playing every week. And guest appearing on Sportscene. If we manage to get Diani signed up then it's perfect for Marv to step back from playing, Obileye may even take over from him, always a decent option if we get injuries or suspensions for that position though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Seems like he has the makings of a good coach, speaks really well about football. Hope it all works out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't say Diani would be a direct replacement for Bartley. More likely to be an upgrade (based on the very little I've seen) on what Holt was trying to do. Holt could then potentially buzz around the park like Bartley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Bartley basically confirmed on Sportsound earlier that he is only going to be registered as a player for back up next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Daily Record linking us to Aaron Taylor-Sinclair. Going to guess he's dropped down the pecking order before being released by you guys...is he any decent? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wrong Car Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 He was good last year as a attacking LB, chipping in with a few goals. This season however he's been fairly poor, reserved going forward and played more as a CB (which isn't his strength) Should be a good signing overall, this season has been tough for some as we've had a larger squad and no reserve football so he had few opportunities 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to guess he's dropped down the pecking order before being released by you guys...is he any decent? He's decent, can play CB but probably at his best at LB. Has a decent delivery on him and a reasonable turn of pace. Fell behind Serrano, Brown and Longridge this season. He won't do much fancy but he'll do the simple things pretty well. Lethal from 2 yards too [emoji23] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a reliably okay mid table Championship player if he stays fit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had any worries with him playing at LB, but there were 4 players ahead of him this season, and he ended up getting the odd CB appearance, where he def was a worry. Think he'd be a decent signing for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish more of our players got in at the back post for 2 yard tap ins, the amount of times we could've scored a goal from that area but nae bugger made the effort to get there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
