Sadly he passed away a while ago and can definitely be ruled out.

Heard he's good at coming back from adversity

Aye, could well end up being Hanlon or similar here.

I'm not completely against it. Doesn't come with the history of some of the candidates which means they'd not be fighting a battle from the start.

Would anyone have any issues if we did appoint Hanlon backed by Cameron and Stevenson.

Given the reactions to things so far I really hope that regardless of who we appoint,  Barrowman comes out and says they were our number one target.  Just to see the reaction.

No issues for me, however the proof would be in the pudding. This at least wouldn't come with a six figure price tag.

Won't happen it would basically dismantle the whole footballing structure by making Potter the manager plus I don't think he's interested in it. 

Not interested in the title, but depending upon who you listen to, he has been doing the role for 12 months

I’m not sure that would be a good appointment tbh, very untried yeah an experienced player but nothing to suggest he would be a good manager yet, massive risk and if I was Murray I would be pissed pff losing my job to a candidate like that

Only around Easter, he's also really poor on crosses, just like our defence.

Same with Leven, O'Dea or O'Carroll though to be fair. A 2 time caretaker stint at a piss poor Aberdeen isn't what you'd consider great experience.

True , just Hanlon hasn’t even had that

More chance with Lenny Henry than Thierry Henry

Maybe shut it down then if your that fed up, just a thought

Really positive update to club 1883 members there.

[Stardog_champion]

The way I see it, and starting to think it might be Hanlon. Looks like we haven’t approached  anyone else. I can see this happening in a Player Manager role akin to McCabe at Airdrie

Did your email start with Dear Grace as well?

Good to see things going on, it is all positive stuff in the club, but maybe a wee update on the elephant in the room in there would have been good, even just basic lip service.

This is the problem, 1883 members won’t divulge sensitive info. Unless he sends you a DM. Why pay for a heads up when they’ll just share it for free.
