As for the next manager...I'll be over for the Falkirk game if they'd like to interview me. All for the young players, you know.

SirJimmyofNic Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 1 minute ago, Been going too long said: True but Berra comes across a bit like Kevin Thomson to me , unlikeable but if it’s him I would need to get behind him We all would especially the players, I kinda thought he was a bit aloof in his manner, but he wouldn't be there to make friends, it's all hypothetical until theres an announcement that the club have got someone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tiel Burn Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Biggest appointment since J McGlynn came to clear up the mess post Locke and Hughes. Best squad in recent years which will also be costing a premium. Board have put themselves under huge pressure but until they announce we can only speculate. Surely its got to be proven track record or outstanding potential. We are hearing little to match either description. The time they are taking can also show they are battling to nail down a great deal as well as floundering with poor options. Massive appointment that they have brought upon themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's turned the opportunity down, where has this been said? Unless it's a first team manager you're probably not going to get the other club coming out with a statement saying "x has been approached". Give them time to get the right person in, let's see who we get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryBumpkin Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 8 hours ago, renton said: Assume that all the highly rated assts. And coaches have turned us down. Brown and McCabe were never realistic options, surely? So, we are left with someone like Fox or Thomson (we likely have a budget he'd be happy with now) Why are we assuming this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcglynn came in after Smith left, and it took a couple of weeks for the appointment to happen with little rumours of it. There's no real need for panic at this stage, especially having just come off the back of a win against one of the fancied teams for the league. Not a long term arrangement of course, but miles away from being 4-0 down at Ross County after 30 mins or by playing Kevin Nisbet at fullback- which is what we had the last time we were in this situation. Need to trust the board to get this one right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 I'm guessing folk are just looking at the fact we don't seem close to an appointment and assuming that means all our targets have knocked us back. Hopefully it's just the case that the negotiations have become protracted rather than us now running so far out of options that we're now considering Liam Fox. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varna Rover Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 according to reports we have been told the club is to announce a new manager by the end of this week. we shall see 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Not in the know or anything but I’ve heard the appointment is still on course to be made this week. I think it’s going to be Liam Fox but desperately hoping to be wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was also mention in a couple of newspapers. Leven was interviewed last week and was offered the job at the end of the week. I know that part to be true as it came from a very reliable source. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not going to stick my oar in & disagree with any of that but I’d read somewhere else that O’Carroll had made his interest known to Rovers (as opposed to vice versa) & Rovers essentially said thanks, but no thanks. Bottom line is none of us know exactly how the pieces have fallen but it does seem incredibly strange (if very effective from the club) that nothing at all of substance has leaked on this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beastie Russell Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 9 hours ago, pub car king said: The latest is we're tapping up Scott Brown who comparative to Murray doesnt strike me as an upgrade at this time. He is already in a job where he is being backed to build a team. Scott Brown probably just took him mum for a meal at the Dean Park, and now we're being accused of tapping him up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanStarko Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 1 hour ago, CountryBumpkin said: Why are we assuming this? I'm going to guess people have listened to Barrowman's interview where he spoke about us having done all the work already so we could move quickly, then us not having appointed anybody yet and come to the conclusion that everybody on the shortlist said no. I'm hoping it's more than the discussions around getting their chosen guy in are taking longer due to them already been in a job and having to sort out compo. Guess we'll find out soon hopefully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
