Guest Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, rb123! said: Well this is getting a bit boring McBookie betting odds aren't available on the website anymore, wonder if they know something we don't..... The last I saw was that they had cut Hopkin to 6/4 fav and had McIntyre as 2nd fav at 5/1. Again, I'd point out that although 6/4 to 5's is a big jump, 6/4 against is still far from certain from a market perspective and if they had any sort of idea or had received any sort of big money, they'd be looking at 1/5 on or thereabouts. Having said that, if they've closed the market then it might be a done deal one way or another. Edited as hadn't read down to see odds back up, as such they've got no more clue than us.

Just watched AVFTT from last week over lunchtime, Danny Lennon came across really well as a mental lovable type. Could see him being a good motivator in alot of ways that is maybe what we need in a dogfight. Not sure how he'd pan out though over the longer term.

Don’t think he’s ever stated he’d want the job, his stints in coaching within the first team have only been to support them, not because he was hand picked. Has overseen the academy which has produced players that have racked probably upwards of 1000 appearances for the club and our youth teams have won a few trophy’s and competed well above some of the “premier” teams. It’s the club who has probably let him and the academy down by letting our academy graduates walk away for f**k all! Just because Scott McLaughlin (who was the first to be punted by McCall remember) didn’t like him, doesn’t mean squat. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most failed management teams usually leave, make a fresh start elsewhere and get airbrushed to an extent. If you were to compare his time in football and our last assistant manager then White has more about him imo. Yet not so long ago one was hailed as some sort of guru and White written off 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet not so long ago one was hailed as some sort of guru and White written off He was only part of the Roberts coaching staff to help with the transition of youth players into the first team. Something Roberts ignored and just signed a load of his mates. I believe that’s where the breakdown came between them. Along with him assisting coaching for both Kerr and Roberts, he’s still doing his main job as Head of Youth Development. When the new manager arrives it would be best for him to bring in his own assistant and coaches. Under McCall, White was going and watching future opponents and doing match scouting on occasions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I'm not all that sure about White tbh. Surely the measure of his success is the Academy's performance? How does it compare to our peer group in terms of performance? I'd imagine this is measured objectively somewhere (maybe by the SFA?). Without that it's hard to judge the success or otherwise. I know we are one of the few clubs to invest in an Academy at this level which has to be a positive. Equally, though its not like our first team is bursting with home grown talent (McCowan aside). I do accept a couple of seasons back we had Forrest & Crawford as well. There have been many others but they have been fringe/squad players. There have also been some players who have left before breaking into the team and had good careers elsewhere. I think having an Academy is a great thing, just not sure how relatively successful it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canning apparently dropped out of the running by his own choice after being interviewed. Jonatan Johansson was interviewed and impressed last time round. Not sure where the idea came from that there could be an appointment before this weekend or even before the deadline for applications on Monday. Thursday next week most likely, all going to plan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Forrest, Crawford and McCowan are the only ones that I can think of that have went on to have success, the jury is still out on Finn Ecrepont we have been told for about the last four seasons that he was going to be the next big thing but both McCall and Kerr have not played him and I'm not to sure how he's got on at Albion Rovers on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
