bridge of allan bairn Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I'd be very happy with Brian Rice. Having said that I thought Hartley and McKinnon were decent appointments, so what do I know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartley was headhunted and never stopped going on about it. Most clubs I imagine will do the same process as i've listed they just won't make it as public as we have. But in our position we're better off making it public as we're so far away from the Motherwell's of this world right now. Tommy Wright applied for the Motherwell job and they chose Graham Alexander instead as far as i'm aware so they did have an application process. I want someone who's hungry to manage our club not someone who has had their arm twisted and isn't fully in it. If that means we get 100+ applications and 90% of them are shite so be it. The other 10% can be the shortlist and we select the best from there. It said that people had shown interest so not sure if that meant they had a formal application process or they just whittled down a list of who had shown interest? Certainly can’t mind them openly requesting applications like we did but again could be wrong. Would imagine when a job comes up then a lot of people in the football circuit will start making enquiries anyway. I get what you mean about wanting someone hungry for it but I don’t think that always aligns that the best man for the job will apply. Thing is too that we had already approached Neil McCann who didn’t apply so again that just shows me we don’t know what we are doing. If Neil McCann was the guy we were hoping to tempt then doesn’t hold my hopes up at who we’ll bring in or who has already applied. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that it was removed too and then his profile deleted suggests to me someone from the board had been in touch to try minimise the backlash.

It's not unheard of in football for players / managers to sign new contracts even when they're leaving so that the original club can get some compensation. Not saying that's what happened here, right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong anyway in sounding out possible targets as well as inviting applications. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe The Hype Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Possibly just said to McCann he is welcome to apply and go through the interview process, he then said na I'm fine and that it was it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
