Sons of Anarchy Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Just read Gilbert's statement, seems like he is having a liitle dig about how St Mirren went about their business 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Cruyff Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I reckon it could be time for Johan Cruyff to take the reins.Gutted Murray's gone but good luck to him. No dinosaurs please, we need either an up and coming manager or take a punt on another ex pro. Should follow the same process as last time and advertise to see who fancies it. Don't go straight to an out of work manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Thank you Ian Murray. Hopefully a platform built gir a new man to work with. Turned us sons fans into thinking 7th in the championship was a problem. 3 great years . Good luck . I hope sons fans honourable enough to sing a chorus of one Ian Murray when he come to visit .. Anticipation now is who's next and who will they bring Absolutely hope there is no chorus of 'one Ian Murray' when he returns as an opponent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel wickson Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Just read Gilbert's statement, seems like he is having a liitle dig about how St Mirren went about their business Can we infer from that, that we already have someone in mind that might already be contracted to another club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Absolutely hope there is no chorus of 'one Ian Murray' when he returns as an opponent. I wouldn't be against it Once we stick the fifth in and the Saints mob turn on him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Quitely Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 The King Is Dead, Long Live The King....good luck and best wishes to Ian Murray, it's been a mutually-beneficial period here for both himself and the club. Life goes on however, and I'm actually glad things haven't dragged out and we have a clear direction in which to move forward. We're not left with very much of a playing staff but it's to the Board and Murray's joint credit that the stock of the club is at it's highest for decades. As such we should be an interesting proposition for an ambitious manager to test himself in a very competitive division next season, and it's good to see that a Board meeting has been convened for tomorrow. Meantime, let's get the season tickets shifted and put some cash in the till 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 he deserves praise, I wouldn't be against it either He does deserve praise and will probably get a good reception for what he achieved but I'd never in a million years sing songs for an opposition player/manager whilst they competed against us. Murray is the past. Folk can barely muster up the effort to sing songs about our own players never mind an opposition manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Goggle Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I think most of us could have predicted Murray would be off having achieved 3 years in championship. What benefit could he gain by another year. If we stayed up would it make much impact on his career, and more than likely we would come down, it is a matter of time after all, unless there is some major behind the scenes plan we don't know about. Next season will be very tough for us. At present managerless, and squadless (if there is such a word). For those who know the script behind the scenes at the Rock we are a pretty diddy set up, like so many in Scottish footy, our board enjoy the privelidge of membership of SFA, the trust does its bit as much out of a hobby as a calling in life, and our fans don't really expect much more than we have. So relax, we will get a name in, probably a guy who is part of the scottish football inner circle of jobs for the boys. I will put my money on either Jimmy Nicholl or Colin Nish. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspie Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 A big decision for the Dumbarton board but I'm sure there will loads of candidates, Alloa were inundated with applications when both Hartley and Smith left. Just need to make sure you get the right man in the end, no pressure . I'll be really interested to see how Murray gets on at club which will be amongst the biggest in the division rather than one of the underdogs. I thought the job he did in his first season at Dumbarton was incredible, taking a struggling squad full of players who were widely seen as being out of their depth in the second tier and lifting them to mid table, making Jim Lister a prolific scorer at this level in the process. I would have doubted whether or not he could keep it going but two more very solid seasons since. Extremely impressive so far and I think St.Mirren will be a good move for him, a club with great potential if managed properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Goggle Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I apologise. I must get my blinkers out, look through my all is wonderful glasses, and say nothing critical about our club. If only I had 2801 posts, had joined in 2005 and could sing Dumbarton clap clap clap four times, and get back on the bus to the counting house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I wouldn't give much credence to his/her powers of prediction, as according to The Goggle's first two posts a month ago, Alloa were down and Queen of the South would be promoted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
