super_carson Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Well, maybe we might have more luck with a formal international from a different country... All joking aside, he may well still do a job at this level but I'm very wary about these type of signings considering how they have worked out previously. If it's with a view to being a player/coach that might be different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 McGeady would be a brilliant signing on paper, but would most likely spend most of the season injured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was Sheff Urd or Notts Forest he went for a trial with. It then took another four years to get back some decent form. Forrest was different in that he was very small in size and kept getting injuries. Once he grew a bit and toughened up everything was fine and didn't look back. Not sure why Crawford regressed so badly after year one and why it took so long for him to find consistency He was initially played out of position by Roberts too. Went on trial with Birmingham along with Sinclair and Shankland in his first season and then had something like glandular fever in his 2nd that wasn't picked up on. Left at the end of the season before reappearing in September only for Roberts to be too bitter to play him. Did also find himself being Wardrope at one point under McCall. However, he certainly had more good games than bad for us and if the rumours were true that he wanted to return last season then it's disappointing if we turned him down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Bullen spoke about an assistant at the Q&A He said, I see folk saying "Bully needs an experienced assistant" I am 52, how much more experience do you need? He then said that with Moffat and Timmons leaving, he didn't want to create too much upheaval with there also being a new kit man and goalkeeper coach coming in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he’s 52 coached an u21 team mostly that’s not experience the way we mean. A coach/ex manager who can challenge/suggest bullen changes when things aren’t working. Someone with a different philosophy on football where bullen can look after defensive players and a coach to look after forwards. I have no doubt that bullen is an ok coach, the improvement in some players has been good but he seems to have more impact with the defenders 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those sneaky b*****ds. If only there was something we could have done to change that. A lot of things annoyed me that night and they were mostly things like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough experience to not make the same mistakes repeatedly is how much experience you need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bullen, are you sure you should be performing this complex surgery? I am not sure you have the correct experience. Eh? I am 52 years old I'll have you know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistaking age for experience is the hallmark of people who lack experience but are in denial about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 On paper he’s got the experience we need however his age and injury last season is a big worry. If we can even get 20 games out him it’ll be a positive however we’re likely paying him a bomb to be here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would be one of the best players in the league if fit, all be about how often we see him… From all accounts he was still good for Hibs when he actually played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
