Ah right, thought he was from Aberdeen and just didn't have a clue who/what Broomhill actually were. I'm sure there will be hoards of people from Dumbarton going to watch them now he's there... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been coaching at St Pat's FPs for the past couple of season and they've got a few really talented young players. It'll be interesting to see if any of them follow him and if they're able to make the sizable step up. Martin Mooney being involved might lead to one new fan mind you, eh @The Moonster 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spyro Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Wonder how long it is before we have another name change? Followed by another one when they try to parasite their way into the Dumbarton FC's owners plans when it all goes tits up again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the ams can't get into the WoSFL. Which I don't see working out for a few reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Pat's are one of the strongest amateur teams in Scotland, and also from Dumbarton, that'll be where the link ends. Zander will probably try and sign a few of their better players, but that'll be the extent of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if he takes over. I knew Zander Diamond and Broomhill was familiar. Got there in the end, only took him 3 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This lot have no shame and will stop at nothing to make sure the OF influence is still strong in the "non-league" ranks, and now they have their willing idoit at Dumbarton giving them a platform to push the agenda. It seems to have been the plan all along for them? Notice how the charm offensive in the media stopped immediately after they got their wish of the B teams in the LL? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people behind Broomhill have shown no desire to give up any influence on the running of the club, and I don't see the longstanding St Pat's committee ceding control of their identity. That's without getting into any "blue/green" issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole B teams vote was something that looks to have started with whoever is/was running or funding them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 This seems a bizarre appointment. St Pats have done well under him but they always seem to do well regardless of who’s in charge. That level is a million miles away from the Lowland League. He must have very limited knowledge of the level he’ll be operating at - he played at a much higher level (and hasn’t played in Scotland since 2012) and his coaching experience is at amateur level. Does he have the contacts to build a squad of Lowland League players? Surely to f**k they haven’t just appointed him because he’s from Dumbarton in the hope that people from the town will suddenly start supporting them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was assistant to Martin Hardie with Broomhill before this (came and went in the same pre-season) and tried to get the manager's job when it became vacant. Managed Syngenta for part of their first season in the EoSFL. Dumbarton ties have probably been beneficial, but he's been on their radar before and obviously been trying to get into management. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I just assumed he’d disappeared off the radar for a while before appearing at St Pats. Being a local guy you normally hear bits and bobs but I hadn’t heard a thing for a good while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a local guy you normally hear bits and bobs but I hadn’t heard a thing for a good while. I think even with St Pats he only signed up with them originally as part of the push for joining the WoSFL. Which didn't work out. So its no surprise to see him jump to a new opportunity. Its a bit of an unknown, but Broomhill were struggling near the bottom last season and still have Gretna 2008 as a cushion. Probably worth a shot by Broomhill as it doesn't look like they've got the same budget they once had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
