Ingo ohne Flamingo Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Duffy announced as new manager... Not sure what to say to that. Some of the worst players I've ever seen played under him... Maybe the right guy to steady the ship, time will tell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeodhasXD Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but he's came in as a firefighter at a fair few clubs now and had very little positive impact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde01 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Just relegate us now, and I mean directly to the lowland league. What a circus of a club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr November Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 While it's been two defeats, I thought Clyde probably showed enough on Saturday and presumably against Alloa to justify Moore getting a few more games. Admittedly they never looked like scoring but equally if it wasn't for the penalty I don't think Airdrie were scoring either, although that was partially due to our own issues. Duffy might do a decent job steadying things but he was hardly a roaring success in his last couple of jobs. He's possibly the one manager with an even worse recruitment record than Danny Lennon too 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM. Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Not overly excited about that appointment but will give him a chance. What I will say is he recruited some good defenders among awful squads. Declan Gallagher, Marr, McQueen, Marsh and loans like Fordyce and Lamie who although weren't here long enough to make much of an impact, have went on to have decent careers. Hopefully he can find a full back or 2 in January. Edited November 7, 2022 by CM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggy Snake Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) That is not an inspiring appointment. That's not to say it won't work, but it's not one to spark much in the way of hope or interest and (as has been said) his recruitment is usually pretty poor too. I hope his contract is only until the summer, for now at least. Edited November 7, 2022 by Jaggy Snake 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde01 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I honestly can’t believe this, we’ve sacked Danny primarily for poor recruitment and employed the guy who signed some of the worst players I’ve ever seen.Bad enough the same shite players like Lyon reappearing now the same shite managers. I’ve tried to persevere through this shit show of a season but this is the final straw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I must admit, I didn't for one minute see that occurring. The only thing I'd say is that I've not seen a single name mentioned that I was remotely interested in; there's a real dearth of candidates presently. Duffy didn't leave on bad terms and we were a decent enough L2 side in his final year, albeit very lucky to have a consistent side. We should have got to the playoff final as we were clearly better than East Fife. However, there were some absolute horror runs of form, partly budget related, in the previous seasons though. His transfer record at a host of clubs has been shocking. The good news for Duffy is that if he manages to take a point between now and the end of February then he's an improvement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right in the Stanchion Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 On 01/11/2022 at 19:16, Right in the Stanchion said: For what it's worth I reckon Duffy would be an ideal appointment for the rest of the season. He'd keep you up - has a track record of doing solid jobs on miniscule budgets and squads at Dumbarton and Morton (he was harshly sacked from both in my opinion). Not saying it's a long-term solution but it's about as safe a pair of hands you could realistically (and cheaply) go for. Standing by this. Happy to eat humble pie etc etc. (Fair play by Moonster pointing out that Dumbarton didn't sack Duffers btw) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocelot1877 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) I don’t really find the appointment that surprising to be honest, assuming the deal is to the summer. We are paying off a huge contract, are currently consigned to a relegation fight and it’s 7th of November. We have to be one of the most unattractive jobs in the country. It was always going to be a Duffy/Bollan type. Looking for a way back into the game, available and experienced. Duffy also knows the club. If it’s the right appointment time will tell, hopefully he will tighten the ship and we will stop losing daft goals. I guess one positive is that Dumbarton never got relegated when he was there and went straight down after he left. Maybe he can get the players fighting and battling for points. Who knows, sometimes you need to look for the positives even if there aren’t many. Here’s hoping he can keep us up and he can hand over a league 1 club to a better candidate in the summer Edited November 7, 2022 by Ocelot1877 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I'm trying to think of the advantages of Duffy returning.The only one I can think of is you can now go for a pee halfway through the second half and know you're not going to miss any excitement.Come to think of it, you'll be able to go anytime during the match and not miss any excitement. As an older gentleman with weak bladder, this should not to be dismissed as any minor benefit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 Don't really have much to grumble about with this, any recruitment he undertakes surely won't be any worse than Lennon/Moore's and nobody in their right mind would want to touch us right now with a relegation all-but nailed on to their CV as a result. If anyone could stink us through a play-off, it is probably him. With that said, it is a questionable move on Duffy's part. If I had a dodgy ticker then I would avoid such a soft-centred, goal-gifting team at all costs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob731 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 He’s like the Sam Allardyce of Scottish football. Best to give him a decent hit at it now and not February. Then we can see what the summer brings…new set of eyes, new contacts…fingers crossed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weehowee Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Just when we thought things couldn't get any worse but will say pep could do nothing with those players we have just now looking forward to hear what's said on Thursday at meeting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
