Add Jackie McNamara as another that I’d both happily see appointed and who’d also likely be out of our reach. Funnily enough, in the past I’ve actively disliked all of those I’ve suggested, but I think we need someone like that. Final point from me is that, despite being awful this season, we’re not cut adrift and actually have the luxury of a bit of time - I think we should take it and invite applications so we cast the net wide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't be paying compensation for a manager with a club, so Murray and Hartley are out. Archibald won't be leaving his horrible little 'family club' and McCann has a job away from being a manager now so isn't in the market (or would likely have a gig elsewhere already). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie wouldn't piss on you if you were in fire. McCall might do something to your shoes however... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I wasn't there on Saturday but as I understand it there were multiple witnesses to the racism and it was fans standing around the culprits who informed the stewards to remove them, so it shouldn't be difficult for the club to get the evidence and take action. Absolutely vile behaviour and glad to hear that many people challenged it. Hopefully Ugwu was at least spared having to hear it directly. On the manager front, the Tele is reporting that both Rice and Dougie Imrie are interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morton Supporter Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Imrie is an interesting suggestion, provided it’s not as an underling to Brian Rice. Obviously none of us can assess how he’d likely fare as a manager, but it’s tempting to look at his playing career and the application he demonstrated and be tempted to want that sort of attitude in the guy leading us. My impression of him is that he’d be someone unwilling to accept the excuses and poor standards that have abound the club for the past few seasons - not to say any manager will necessarily avoid relegation this year (or, if we are, that they should be fully judged on that). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably in your world a ban for breaching SFA rules on gambling is a big tick on the old CV. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way bin this guy. In our last relegation his attitude and self importance greatly disturbed team spirit ending in 11 individuals and no teamwork. Was glad to see the back of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if his coupon came up or not. If it did it shows a fine, detailed knowledge of football which could help us out both tactically and financially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Good result last night! Knocking the league leaders out of the Cup's got to be a good result in anyone's book. Hopefully you'll beat Motherwell and we'll get drawn together at Cappielow. I was a bit surprised when I heard that Gus had been sacked, as a draw up at ICT and a point against Ayr weren't the worst of results, but the table doesn't lie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imries a rocket, give him the job, and you'll have a rocket in charge. It'll be fun (for us), but probably won't get you anywhere but relegated 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the issues we had in 13/14, picking out Dougie Imrie as the problem is a wild take. He was the best player in a squad full of shite and one of the very few individuals whose attitude wasn't a problem. The idea there was some great team spirit disrupted by him being selfish or something has no relation to anything that happened on the pitch: if we'd had a few more players with his ability and attitude we might have had a shot at staying up rather than being a sub-30 point embarrassment. None of this says anything about how he'd be as manager of course, and I don't tend to think sitting in a relegation battle with a flawed squad and only two wins all season is the best time to gamble on a first time manager. However, if it was to be a straight choice between a gamble on Imrie or a merry go round name like Rice, McCann or Canning, I'd rather take the risk than go with a proven failure. Obviously that doesn't have to be a straight choice and we could possibly get a more interesting name than either option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My vivid experience of the player and body language was deeply negative. Yes other contributed but Imrie is not a fit. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
