Obviously wouldn’t be my first choice but if we are having to cast the net a bit wider now… Aye at least won promotion twice , better than fox imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still unclear as to how employing an ex old firm player will lead to a media shit storm, when it hasn't done so with any of the numerous former managers we have had who have played for either side? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 13 minutes ago, pub car king said: I suspect whoever takes the job is not going to be afforded the greatest amount patience by the support to settle in. . The new manager is going to have to deal with expectation, there's no doubt about that. Murray would've had to as well, although he had a lot of credit in the bank after last season, which would've gotten him through a sticky patch. There is unlikely to be an appointment that will please everyone. Likely the best we can hope for here is an appointment that most people don't know much about but will give a chance to. Appointing a manager with a history of failure will be met with dismay, quite frankly. At risk of repeating myself, the firing of Murray was a shock and he was not under pressure from the support. Allowances can be given for a manager not having the best of starts after inheriting a shambles, but that's not what has happened here. Whoever it is that's appointed is really going to have to hit the ground running. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a decent enough manager. We fired him. The next guy had better be brilliant. He has no goodwill in the bank and he now has huge expectations on his (or her) shoulders. If second wasn’t good enough that only leaves first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pride of Fife Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Fox has so far proven to be poor as a manager/1st team coach and it gives me the fear that he might be given the job. Sure, he might excel in nurturing young talent but that is far from what we need right now. Timing aside, I wasn’t against Murray going but if this is the type of replacement we are looking at then we shouldn’t have sacked him in the 1st place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 If the fans near me at Airdrie were anything to go by, Murray was very close to coming under at least some kind of pressure. That's before he gave an interview implying the players weren't fit, he didn't have the players he needed, and he didn't know how to fix it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Did the whole board make the decision to sack Murray or was it all down to Barrowman, no problems with the support wanting rid of him, he was after all said n done pretty successfull in what he achieved with us , there has to be more to it, other than hes not the man to get us where we want to be, do they then sack his replacement when he fails ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 I'd sooner we try for Barry Robson. Out of work, sacked by Aberdeen for 9th place being "unacceptable" but with a far higher win rate than Fox. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it doom n gloom though, every time over the years when we get a little taste of success, we lose a manager to another club(albeit this time we sacked one), how many duffers then got appointed then took us to mid table obscurity, different people in charge these days but theres a wee bit dejavu creeping in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
