He hides behind his joker character but he's not the positive character he loves to try portray. Watched his body language at Gayfield when he was Pars manager, devoid of any motivation or inspiration. Sat with his head in his hands and added nothing. Not for me thanks !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clashcityrocker Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I spoke to Bobby Linn a few months ago and he is keen to get his coaching badges and said that eventually he would like to manage Arbroath - this opportunity has come too soon for him, but further down the road I could easily see him back at Gayfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good guy and lad and done some good things as a gaffer, could maybe be good who knows… but the down side of it not working seems like such a massive risk to take. Heard a few stories from his time at Dunfermline that would say his funny guy persona doesn't quite match how he is ad a gaffer, not a great guy by some accounts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be amazing. David Gold gaffer and Bobby assistant. I have heard a name - someone who’s managed a big club in Scotland (didn’t do overly well at it mind you), is a young guy, someone that comes across to me as a good guy too and someone I could imagine would have very good contacts. Would be all for it if it happened. Edited December 2, 2023 by 1320Lichtie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timlichtie Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 There are definitely some exciting names being rumoured. My concern would be matching the expectations of a young, high profile manager with the level of signings that would necessary. On balance I would definitely prefer that to the journeyman approach with Hughes or similar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Sounds like Tam Courts is being described but then I remembered he did well with United and got them into Europe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clashcityrocker Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Heard no rumours, but here is a list of some Scottish managers without a club - Liam Fox, Tam Courts, Graham Alexander, Callum Davidson, Steve Hammell, Steve MacLean, Jim McIntyre, John Hughes, Jack Ross, Robbie Neilson .......................... It's highly possible a few of them would have applied ( others will want a bigger full time club). Throw in a few wild cards and we could have an announcement soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I just hope the can get the “Real Arbroath” playing the “Arbroath Way” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Some interesting names being suggested so far - some who will definitely have applied, also no doubt some unexpected left-field applicants… but there’s also some absolutely wild shouts. I take it that’s the Graham Alexander who manages Bradford City? Calum Davidson who turned down Dundee? Steve Hammell head of Celtic’s Academy? Robbie Neilson head coach of Tampa Bay Rowdies? Jack Ross - no chance. Just because they’re out of the public eye or out of the game in Scotland doesn’t mean they’re sitting twiddling their thumbs waiting for the call from Mike Caird.. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Nobody is moving from Tampa to take charge of Arbroath - if they did I would seriously question their decision making and wouldn’t want him here Not heard Tam Courts either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
