Ian Murray would be my 1st choice from all the names been mentioned in recent days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Murray is a pretty uninspiring name. Did fine in his first job but I don't think he's exceeded expectations since? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done well with Dumbarton previously and seems to be slowly building Airdrie back up after a shite few seasons. Idk what it is but there's just something about Murray which i don't like, not sure if i feel he's not good enough for this level, only going on what car crash spell he had with St Mirren in this league but at the time he was still young and inexperienced so he'll be better prepared now i suppose. Honestly got no clue who it's gonna be which for fans is frustrating but also brilliant cause it means the club are keeping it under wraps extremely well, wonder if something may leak to the papers in the next couple of days though as it sounds like we've either already or going to very soon make a formal approach towards the club involved. Wonder if Petrie has been in the process at any point.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 If it was Murray you would expect we would have seen something around Airdrie granting permission for us to talk to him... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc93 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Demonstrable ability to make players better will be interpreted in different ways by different people. Someone like Keith Lasley in his assistant manager role has possibly had as much influence as the managers at Motherwell in players such as Chris Cadden, Allan Campbell and David Turnbull developing so it doesn't necessarily mean it's a manager as assistants/coaches and even youth coaches will play a big role in players improving at a young age too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League 1 mediocrity seems to be his level and with a less than 50% win rate at a shocking level just fills me with dread being honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this. I expect the new gaffer will fall into this category. Someone who's not been the main man before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't tend to do tug of wars though. If he wants to go, we'll let him. We give people opportunities to get moves rather than stay for long, so if he thought it was a good step for himself, he'll go. I don't see us doing anything to try and beg him to stay 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a bit like Holt, the profile of him at Livi was getting a team to be better than the sum of it's parts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hopkin photo is hilarious, but I think the Morton one is different level.

diegomarahenry Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Dick Campbell is believing his own hype now and said there is maybe one move left in him. He was poor with every full time team he has managed apart from Ross County where he was sacked while top of the league. He has done well with Arbroath with a close knit squad but I have my doubts he could replicate the success on a full time clubs schedule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
