If you ask the right folk, Ian Murray had planned his exit well in advance of his departure. No problems there, but we've now already worn that T-shirt and don't need/wish to again. Very seldom in football does a returnee return to repeat the trick, perhaps with the grimly notable exception of Alex McLeish. I wasn't waving a flag for Murray earlier, just that I wouldn't be averse to his return. It all depends if he has applied. If he has it deserves consideration and reservation in equal measure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not. He's one of the most unlikeable roasters in Scottish football. One from the Chris Sutton/Kris Boyd school of controversy. People with belief in their opinion way beyond their validity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Lamont didn't do too badly in his second spell with us! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howlin' Wilf Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 He was one of the old school Billy. "A right b*****d" according to more than one player who played under him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo71 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 In his last season he kept Jimmy Hughes at the club because he was' great for the dressing room.'Never played him once IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 One from the Chris Sutton/Kris Boyd school of controversy. People with belief in their opinion way beyond their validity. You think? Think Stewart's points are always good ones and not outrageous, just his willingness to listen to other people's opinions that piss people off I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet John Lambie had three spells at one club - sometimes it works, most times it doesn't.And I get the impression that Ian Murray would quickly get itchy feet again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie's second spell started well. The thing to remember is that the average tenure of a Dumbarton manager is 18 months. We're primarily looking for someone to rescue this season and take it from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie's second spell started with clinching promotion to the Premier League and then our only season in that league. In the following season, we finished 6th in the first division (Championship) with Davie being punted in the February after a bad run of results culminating in a cup exit via Queens Park at Hampden. At the season's end, we were two points off second place. Alex Wright was caretaker having taken over from Wilson. By today's standards, I'd say Davie's second spell went pretty well apart from a bad run of 11 games which sealed his fate. I doubt we'd sack anyone for 6th place in the Championship these days..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Scrotum Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 It appears McBookie have stopped taking bets on the next Thistle manager. James McFadden anyone? Could be out on his arse with big Specky Ecky tomorrow morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alert Mongoose Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Slightly out of date as he doesn't play in the Premiership anymore but the striker interested in applying for the job is Brian Graham. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
