BB_Bino Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Every appointment is a risk but I think Dods should be a good choice by Brechin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoriginalhedge Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I was told Booth didn't get an interview. Common sense prevailed it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoriginalhedge Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I dont think anyone at Forfar will be "raging" with Darren leaving, he is 40 and has been applying for lots of manager's positions so it was always going to happen. Been a good, solid player for us, will be interesting to see if he thinks his legs can take another year. Was purely tongue in cheek .........based on Dick's comments earlier at his frustrations about players delaying signing. That said though, quite a few Farfar fans on here were hoping that he would sign again . They obviously think his legs would hold out. Maybe not playing on the plastic every 2nd week might help his ageing joints ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Someone that's managed in league 1 and league 2 before and proven?Name someone then? Allan Moore? He's managed in both. Interesting to know what you define as 'proven' as well. If it means successful then it's extremely likely a 'proven' manager would want to stay in League 1 and 2.Look forward to your response.

If it means successful then it's extremely likely a 'proven' manager would want to stay in League 1 and 2. Look forward to your response. It's his first management job, of course it's more risky than someone that's already got experience of doing itIt's basics Ie Queens Park appointing Gus MacPherson wasn't really risky Forfar appointing Campbell wasn't really risky Ayr appointing McCall wasn't risky Alloa appointing Lennon wasn't Elgin appointing Weir wasn't Us going for Sheerin for example was a bit risky, an untested recently retired player that hadn't managed a club before... Just like any job anywhere it's more risky appointing someone that's inexperienced in that role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Jeez. Okay champ. I really don't see why you're taking an issue with what I've said, I said it was a bit risky but I thought it was a good appointment I don't know why it's rattled you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Because your rationale is ludicrous. To say McCall was a 'less risky' appointment then Dods makes no sense at all. Ah the old 'why u rattled' P&B patter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah the old 'why u rattled' P&B patter. But it does Ian McCall has 18 years of experience managing football clubs and everything that comes with it, Dods has 0 weeks That's why in my opinion it's a BIT risky Settle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So is it experience in managing football clubs or being proven in League 1 and 2? Would Jimmy Calderwood be a completely risk free appointment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say a bit of both I think Calderwoods a fanny but you'd think any manager that's managed at the top level in Scotland would manage to deal with a part time job fairly easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Because your rationale is ludicrous. To say McCall was a 'less risky' appointment then Dods makes no sense at all. Ah the old 'why u rattled' P&B patter. It makes perfect sense tbf, Mccall has proven himself in the past to be a perfectly adequate championship level manager, he's a far less risky appointment that someone who has never managed before. Johnstone has won this division before, has managed at a higher level and has experienced what is required to run a full time club, that's a less risky appointment than Dods or Nish. That's not to say that Dods or Nish might not work out better of course, but on the face of it it's less risky. So is it experience in managing football clubs or being proven in League 1 and 2? Would Jimmy Calderwood be a completely risk free appointment? Seems like you're taking offence to the wording rather than the logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underpar Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Phew thank f**k it wasn't Booth. I have a feeling this appointment will work out fine. As has been said a leader on the field and dead keen on his first stab at management . Be interesting to see if he takes a game himself this coming season. Player / manager role has worked well for us before , Ian Fleming and the late Ian Redford spring to mind. Be a interesting couple of weeks to see who he brings in . Welcome Darren, best of luck to you. Anyone got any info on season tickets ? Will they be on sale prior to the Aberdeen game ? ( shifts are a changing which will free up Saturday afternoons so thinking about taking one for the coming season). Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
