Aitken has done reasonably well but its not close to what Murray/Ross as a pair did or Hartley, his achievements are probably for me akin to Murray at Dumbarton on his own........whatever happened to him So you think that winning the second and third tiers is a bigger achievement for a part time club than managing to stay in a Championship full of full time clubs? And don't forget that Hartley was well on the way to being relegated with Alloa in his first season in the Championship before he chucked it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hipster Dufus Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Is it no' time for Lee Bullen to get fed up of being a backroom guy at Sheffield's #2 club and take a crack at management? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has plenty of flaws, however he succeeded where Ian Murray failed in replacing his assistant with someone who enhanced the way we played, and won me over after tearing up his miserable 4-5-1/4-4-1-1 after the Bonnyrigg game, and turning us into a very decent side to watch. Has he done as good a job at the Rock as Hartley did at Alloa? We'll never know. Hartley would've been judged based on whether or not Alloa managed to stay up under his guidance. He had them right up the table at one point, but they were on a poor run when we pumped them 5-1 at the Recs leading to him chucking it. As much as he annoyed me as a person, I rate Hartley as a manager though. I had hoped ICT might go for him, but obviously John Robertson is far closer with the decision makers. I reckon he'd be a nice fit for you lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Is it no' time for Lee Bullen to get fed up of being a backroom guy at Sheffield's #2 club and take a crack at management? He’s got his own business in Sheffield along side his role at Wednesday I’m sure he’ll drop all that for 9th in the championship in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Think we can make this simpler send a list to the club who we don't want hired although there would probably be an argument with some over Hartley but without knowing who's applied then Hartley has to be the front runner with who is available the rest are the usual suspects that get trundled out when a manager is sacked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
