YassinMoutaouakil Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 He'd probably have been a decent option to have during the period when Bair and Shaw were all we had but I wouldn't be swapping him for Biereth in a hurry. I suppose you could make a case for them playing together but despite a lot of the narrative right now I don't think scoring goals is our biggest issue right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not play him against St Mirren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, but the context of the discussion was a straight choice between Mandron and Obika . I would doubt there would have been any tears shed if we hadn’t re- signed Obika either. On Moult I watched the Dunfermline v UTD game on Friday and thought that he was bang average tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome_Devil Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I see County have punted Mackay for a nine-game winless run... curious to see what sort of candidate gets linked there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Davidson would seem the obvious one. Yogi will no doubt throw his hat in the ring as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's a certainty, hence the interest. It'd be particularly interesting to see if anyone distances themselves from it, expecting a better offer to come shortly...a la Jim Goodwin. I didn't follow the St Johnstone process closely but there didn't seem to be the usual gaggle of exciting names/chancers getting their name in the paper as normal, though maybe I just missed it. On the basis we're never going to pay for a manager and the internal bucket has bee scraped through to the floor, I don't even know who I'd suggest as our next boss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 What's Simo Valakri up to now? I reckon we're at "f**k it, give him it" point. (if he applies again) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisGRAEME Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 FWIW, I retain my 'Sacking Kettlewell is mad' stance. Thom Watt explaining on the latest Terrace pod that up until about half a dozen games ago the only team to have gained more points than us was Celtic, and not by much, during Kettlewell's reign gains him credit enough to try and right this slide. Continually bulleting managers is bad vibes, and bad business. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Kettlewell must have climbed up another rung in the longest serving table, you can’t buy that experience. (Largely because we have no money.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had dross no marks like Dean Shiels and Charlie Mulgrew excitedly claiming they could fix us, and OF fanboys claiming Scott Brown would be great, but it feels like the media picked up pretty quickly we were after a very particular set of skills (experience of the league, experience of making a lot from nothing, experience of building a structure in the backroom aswell as on the pitch) and realised it was pointless linking names outwith that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Levein part time? I head him talking about his input being on the Friday/Saturday. Is Andy Kirk the man running things? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, I remember Mulgrew now you mention it. Go straight to the Championship, do not pass go, do not collect £200 etc. Surprisingly reasonable of all involved really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did seem to be getting touted for bigger jobs and even the Finland national team at one point. Won't pretend to know anything about Latvian football but was that the step up everyone was thinking for him? Seems a bit like a handbrake turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
