No one wants to be there. it’s unfortunate. When this happens, the best for everyone is that they move on. Now I’m just waiting for him to either be sacked (more likely) or move on. I no longer believe he’s in with us for the journey. What the f**k is 'the journey'? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one hand he’s in the press telling us all how wonderful it is having the new owners and the new management structure while he’s applying for other jobs on the sly. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and give him a chance to build a better squad than he managed last season. If it doesn’t start well though then yeah… f**k him! Tbf to Murray he never applied for the Dundee job, Dundee approached him and the club to begin talks obviously the board could’ve rejected the request but allowed it so Murray done it….but he better hit the ground running in the new season now.

Offshore Rover Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 20 minutes ago, Scary Bear said: Does that matter? Whether he applied or was headhunted he wanted to be offski. Says who? Do you know that he would have accepted an offer from Dundee? I’ve been to interviews and been offered jobs only to turn them down after further discussions. Murray hasn’t done a Kevin Thomson and leave with no job lined up, nor has he done a Yogi and get himself all over the media saying he wants a new gig. The club was approached, they agreed, Murray spoke to them and now he isn’t in the running. Who knows what was said. Let’s not jump to conclusions here. For once the club is going in the right direction, let’s not get bogged down in stuff made up in your head. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanStarko Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Why do people treat football like it's totally different from a normal job? If another company was to contact you and offered you more money for doing the same job are you going to tell them to piss off out of some weird loyalty to your current employer? Of course you're not, you'll at the very least hear what they have to offer. Murray and any other footballer/manager is the exact same. They have bills to pay just like everybody else, and if they can make more money somewhere else then at the very least they're going to look at their options. I don't really see why it's something to get upset about. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been going too long Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 42 minutes ago, Scary Bear said: Either way, this is what happens. “Ah well, he’s away. Good luck to him.” Then he’s not chosen. Then it’s all good? In reality we’re then thinking, he wants away. Not really we don’t know what his thoughts were after the interview, I have been for interviews and thought no chance am I working under that afterwards. He wanted to speak to them, he did and hasn’t got the job. We move on and build for the season ( if he does it again soon before his contract is up I might not be so charitable and guess the board won’t be either) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right in the Stanchion Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Random one but what does the appointment of Potter mean for that guy you brought in as scout when Murray first came in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d forgotten all about him tbh. I’m not sure what his official connection was to the club. Was he actually employed by us or was he a freelance scout that Murray just liked to use? Given the standard of player signed during the season I don’t think he will be much of a loss anyway! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Broken Algorithms Posted May 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2023 Murray has played just over 250 games for Hibs. He's been at Rangers, and then went down south. He left Airdrie after being a penalty kick away from a shootout to take them up. There's zero difference between Murray leaving Airdrie for us, compared to leaving us for Dundee. He won't have walked through the door and been hit by some Barcelona 'Mes Que Un Club' nonsense. Dundee will likely have represented a better wage - after he left St Mirren it took him three years to get another management job back in the game and he had to move to Norway. He'll be fully aware how fickle football can be. As for ourselves, everybody knows that you go to our level of football and that it'll likely be dross. The standard can be terrible, with the occasional moment of brilliance. But when it goes correctly, it's absolutely unbelievable. There's a self-congratulatory nature about top flight clubs who win titles when the reality is that they've pissed a league with a budget which is completely untouchable. I go to games because you'll get days like Motherwell where the South Stand is bouncing. Or when you see journey's like Lewis Vaughan coming back from a 4th ACL injury. It's getting to know people whether they work at the club, sit near you, or people you meet on here or on twitter. It's seeing someone you see at away days on the occasional weekend becoming a director at the club. There's a connection in there that's worth it's weight in gold. I'm firmly of the belief that with the new board in place, we're very much moving in the right direction. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. What you say makes sense cos I heard that he was someone Stuart Millar brought in and there was another boy at Airdrie that Murray had that was doing all the graft (and is still ther I think) which makes me wonder 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if the scout was ever brought in to scout players for potential transfers my understanding is he scouted opponents, tactics etc for up coming games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumswall Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Is there actually a discussion about someone wanting to earn more at a higher level happening here? The fact we have an ambitious manager is a good thing. If he does well enough to earn a job at a higher then he will have done well with us. It's football ffs. That's how it works. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
