Just my gut telling me it’s not him. I was listening to Levien on bbc and a few things he said just made me think I missed it. What was Levien saying to it? It was little things he was saying he was happy before changing to if I was managing I’d be happy... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 I also found it weird when Smith said he was surprised with the quality of candidates that applied. Surely the likes of Hopkin and McIntyre were the minimum standard they’d of been looking to appoint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North British Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Smith made a strange comment which amounted to we have kinda got an idea who our guy is, and we should have it sorted out by Thursday ... sort what out ? Most on the list are free and available, unless of course they have another contact perhaps with the media to get out of . McCall was unusually silent on it as well , apart from asking Leven if he ratted McCowen .... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine that’ll happen and an interview will be recorded before we formally announce it. He’ll also have to arrange everything with any people he’s bringing onto his back room staff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can maybe see davie white taking the game against hearts. 2 days isn’t enough to drill the team the way you want 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I hear you , no strong evidence really , just wee half clues . Smith also said he was blown away by who applied . On the testing business , I wouldn’t get strung out on that as an inhibitor, we tested 300 guys today at work , it can be done in many places in Scotland if you have £200 ... I’d guess the new fellow will be tested well before he rocks up to take the test with the players . Can’t have him failing and missing the Hearts game on his first day .... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 If he was blown away with who applied there is maybe some names in there we are not thinking of, surely the likes of Hopkin, McIntyre etc would have been expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Rather White takes charge Saturday leaving the new guy a full weeks training. Plus best not to start his tenure off with a likely defeat anyway when he hasnt had a chance to influence anything 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 He's going to contradicting himself a wee bit if he was blown away by the quality of applicant and we've ended up with Hopkin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
