PedroMoutinho Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I can only assume Rice has applied for the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 On the radio they seemed to think rice has a clause in his contract saying they can part company if they were relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't necessarily want him, it's more a case of that I think he's probably a more ok-ish choice than some of the names being floated about. The fact I posted recently that I'd take him is because of how low an ebb we are at, rather than anything about his particular abilities as a manager. I agree with other people that I don't think we're going to get anyone in who will please everyone, and I have no faith in those in charge to appoint someone decent anyway.

Guest Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 7 minutes ago, ilostmyself said: So after the club statement last week I'm guessing he must have applied and he's made the shortlist for interview so that's why we've now had to ask Hamilton? I think that's the only sensible way. I don't think his time at Hamilton has me convinced he's the boss for us, particularly when we have no youth players to bring through. I very much doubt he will have applied when he just signed a contract extension. This is the PR drivel I alluded to in previous posts about the statement that went out. It’s the same as what they said about us when we had no input. The whole ‘rigorous’ process is a nonsense. Feels like we’re just shooting in the dark and making a total arse out of it. It’s not surprising though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocco Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 How do you know he is likely to reject us? Hamilton have turned down the offer, not Rice.I’ve worded it poorly. I was meaning that if he hadn’t applied, why would you gamble approaching someone that may well reject you. Especially when it will make the media. This is why I believe he must have applied. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 They won't have approached Hamilton unless rice had indicated he was interested in the post. Even in the whole McKinnon debacle we at least checked that out first. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have already ascertained that Rice is interested in and wants the job. In so many deals for players and managers under contract elsewhere, the approach to the current club is almost the last stage of the process, when it should really be the first. Clubs complain about tapping-up, but everyone is at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye in the end of the day, its not something worth getting yourself in bother about or causing yourself grief, so it really depends how strongly all involved feel over it. I think you would have the backing of most sensible fans whichever way you chose to go, with most appreciating your efforts even if it doesnt go the way you planned. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthegoalline1876 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 No appointment is going to please everyone. But surely we want someone who will inspire a bit of hope and optimism when they are announced, not the same old same old. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen any of Aitken but I'd rather see us sign someone on the up who's out to prove themselves than a championship haddy who's looking for his last full time gig. Matthew Aitken is 23 years old and never played in the championship. He has been previously with forfar and Elgin after being released by St Johnstone as a kid. 12 goals in 22 games last season don't know where the championship haddie comes from. I'd say he was someone who is on the up with something to prove 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I see it is that rice is interested. Falkirk want him to interview but Hamilton won't give permission. Rice has a clause but won't activate it just for an interview as there's no guarantee of a job. That's my opinion could be complete bollocks though.

JustLuvinThepian Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 https://hamiltonacciesfc.co.uk/an-open-letter-to-the-accies-support/ I'm still struggling as to why any consideration would be given to leaving a club with one of the best youth academies in Scotland, in a league above and with a parachute payment in the bank to come to a middling league one club with an idea of having a youth academy and 5 signed players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
