CallumPar Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 We’ve announced Dair’s away. Not a surprise, I can’t imagine any incoming manager would particularly want him in their management team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 If folk have put £100 on him then the bookies shit themselves and shorten the odds. 90% of bets, according to McBookie, have been on Petrie, with big ones being placed from the Dundee area. I'll be honest, I'll be very surprised if it isn't him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the tweet said 90% of the bets on Petrie came from the Dundee postcode area, rather than 90% of all bets being for Petrie to be the next manager? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit on Tuesday after the news broke I thought Greg Shields could be quite a strong candidate to move up to the head coach role but I have never seen it suggested anywhere else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Germans have mentioned us not having an independent academy being an issue, and there was talk of a link up with rosyth and have an academy run from there. Head of youth possibly? It would fit in with his experience in America. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would seem counter productive to move away from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea if he’s still there but wouldn’t touch the place if there’s even a possibility. I don’t think our training arrangements have been stable for a while. In the past 3/4 years we’ve used mckane park, Kelty and Alloa + various random parks we’ve got a hold of for a few weeks. Far from ideal. Compared to a club like St Mirren we are ridiculously behind. 7 minutes ago, Stoo61 said: Jack de Gier spotted outside the Kingsgate, absolutely raging that Luigis is now a William Hill. I don’t think it’s even William hill anymore, lease sign up when I went by last week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Fair enough. Last time I was in the pavilion at pitreavie I seen a few dunfermline players. Can't even remember who, just assumed you were still involved there in some capacity. I'm not sure rocking up at a bowling club in Rosyth is a good move unless your putting in a fair bit money to stop the flooding etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like GS, and I hope he stays in charge of youth/potential academy but I don’t want to see a sideways step with someone already at the club. I was underwhelmed when Stevie was appointed but like we all were I was willing to give it a go. What difference would Shields make, he was already heavily involved last season when things weren’t going well? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I would want to trust the process. I would think identifying and building a dedicated training base seems like something the Germans would want to do going by their limited sound bites, and something that they really need regular visits to do properly, something just about impossible ATM.

Just because he was part of the last management isn't to say having him as head coach wouldn't change things. The board didn't dismiss SC and weren't looking for a change of management, I accept it is a good opportunity to go a different direction though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
