His loan is up, he'll go back to Belgium and probably find another club as he's so far out of favour there. Think the big guy is a bit of an enigmatic type and is extremely frustrating as he's skillful but greedy, and clumsy . His appearance on Sunday was by far and away his best for us in my opinion as he's flattered to deceive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tracked him a bit but he came up short on what was required. Has the talent but in very brief flashes. He will end up somewhere and just hit it off but doubt that'll be in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Rumour is Goodwin will approach Jimmy Nicholl to be his assistant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo87 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Just listened to Stephen McGinns interview post match on Sunday. What an absolute legend, you can hear how much it means to him - has to be a rarity in football these days. With guys like that in the dressing room there is no surprise we dug ourselves out of a massive hole. Roll on next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is, I don't think we'd be too difficult to deal with. I had heard that Nicholl was finding the job quite tricky, as he is used to being the nice guy nurturing part of the management team in conjunction with a more in your face character. Unfortunately for him, Kearney fits the nice guy nurturing part too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression Nicholl has contributed well without being essential/irreplaceable. I suspect he'd be of more use now to Goodwin in his first full-time role, now that Oran has found his feet. Would be interesting to see what profile of assistant Kearney would go for next. Experienced or younger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn saw what was wrong and, if it took going behind Stubbs' back to fix it, then fine. I know who I trust and believe more. Legend. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Listened to the interview earlier and there's another nice wee dig about Stubbs when he mentions opening up the papers on Thursday morning. Wonder if Kearney will go for his father-in-law as assistant if Nicholl leaves? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Nicholl does go, I could see a bit of a reshuffle and a space opening up for Anton Ferdinand to cut his coaching teeth if he sees fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Nicholl stuff is true (can't see him dropping down a league to be honest), hopefully it'll be another experienced coach or we use it to bring in a decent player we'd otherwise be unable to afford, like we did with Mixu years ago. Can't see Ferdinand playing much if he was kept on. I take it we're going back to a two man set-up seeing as Rice hasn't been replaced? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo87 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Would love to see Anton back. Apparently got really involved with community side of things as well and is really religious! Always had it in my head he would be a billy big baws, how wrong was I! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 On a related note, Ferdinand says Hladky is the best keeper he's played with (see comment on below). I think we're really going to struggle to keep this guy. Someone's going to have to show us the money, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone like Charlie Adam who will no doubt end up back north of the border (and has been quoted as getting into coaching and already been linked with Dundee) would be ideal.

High praise from a guy who has counted Robert Green, Richard Wright, Craig Gordon and Simon Mignolet among his team mates. I actually want to know how good the guy at Slovan Liberec is who he couldn't displace. I also really hope that we can find another few gems from the Eastern European leagues the summer. Popescu and Hladky were overwhelming successes and Muzek was a solid turn (who I hope we keep), Corbu was the only one who didn't shine and that was because he didn't really get a chance with Paul McGinn's form.

Demented Zebra Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Lee Hodson being offered a deal, no surprise there. Tony Fitzpatrick using the national press to market Hladky for six figures but lightens the blow by we want to extend his deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scam75 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 You'd suggest that means 100k. He's just helped us earn at least an extra 700k by keeping us in the league. I'd make him the highest earner, extend contract and be looking for at least half a million. Of course he would need to agree........ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
