Ro Sham Bo Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 What coaching experience does Donati have? What knowledge does he have of the Scottish lower leagues? Donati would be an absolutely mental appointment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHans Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I get the impression the BoD are obviously not giving anything away about who they really want. Donati seems like a bit of regurgitated news to keep Matt Elder churning out articles. Our BoD surly wouldn't come out so quickly with a name unless they were either certain that he was the man or that he wasn't getting the job. Based on the randomness of his application, I'm going with the later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank conner Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Why would we realistically want to bring back Mcglynn most fans got fed up at the end of his time here. He never really promoted our youth was more interested in hearts youth pretty much played the same system which got a bit stale. As for being stubborn he dropped the best keeper in the league for a kid which cost us big time he had his time let's not go back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Brilliant Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Why?Good guy, Rovers guy, part of our only recent (relative successes). He's been retained by four different managers at a level above us, must have learned from them all, and is familiar with the league we're in.For a position that's effectively the face of the club, I don't get why anyone wants the likes of Duffy who's a total journeyman of any and all clubs (with a patchy record) or a complete tailpipe like Novo. I find the daily record / sportsound lads club factor of some of the more obvious candidates too boring for words. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Was Mcglynn not a massive factor behind the development of Callachan, Vaughan etc? And the Hearts young guys played a decent part in us staying up that season. Would people prefer we went down? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been going too long Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 19 minutes ago, lgb61 said: Why would Donati be any worse than Cuthbert? Both would be starting their managerial careers with us, both have everything to gain by being successful with us yet, despite playing at a way higher level than Cuthbert did, Donati is not even to be considered. I don't get it. Maybes you've just got a hard on for goalkeepers certainly dont have a hard on for goalies, dont want Cuthbert either so jog on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really Mcglynn left the club years ago wouldn't say he had a massive part in their development. He certainly favoured hearts youth most of them pretty average over our own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's borne fruit aswell with the likes of Vaughan, callachan, bates and Matthews coming through off of his setup. Was awful challenging for promotion to the premiership under him and getting to a Scottish cup semi final...Mcglynn was tremendous for us at the time and anyone who doesn't realise that has to be a bit simple tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time he did well he left about six years ago wtf has that got to do with Bates Vaughan etc he prioritised hearts youngsters before ours .

CALDERON Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) Callachan and Vaughan made their first appearances under Mcglynn. Mcglynn priotised staying up over playing guys who probably weren't ready yet. There's a difference. Jamie Walker in particular was superb for us.

That's what he had to do with them aswell as giving them their debuts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardy Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Hopefully he comes back to finish what he started. He’ll have Celtic contacts now too. Hendry back while we’re at it. The place needs someone we know and love to get us over the utter pish we’ve been served since Locke was appointed. John McGlynn is that man. Unfortunately his name hasn’t been really rumoured though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR #1 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Seems obvious we are going to have Cat as manager with someone like Davo or Buchanan as assistant. Still atleast we have our braw new plastic pitch eh? It's starting to look like the new board are as clueless as the last clowns when it comes to the running of the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
