ayrunitedfw Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 What an emotional roller coaster this is turning out to be. I had convinced myself a few days ago it was Jim McIntyre, yesterday I had convinced myself it was Hopkin and now talk of Petrie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great that no one really knows , Smith keeps business very close , everyone at club being told at same time , no leaks from within can only be good , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he contracted to the BBC? If so a deal would have to be arranged for him to either leave completely or limit his media duties. Of course if it was someone like Petrie then you’d imagine he’d need to make arrangements and relocate in order to be our manager. Same would goes for his coaching staff if he intended to bring them over. Billy Dodds said on the radio last night he didn't know if McIntyre was in the running for the job as he hadn't spoken to him, said he was going to call him last night or today to see. Either truth or a deflected decoy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr23 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Billy Dodds said on the radio last night he didn't know if McIntyre was in the running for the job as he hadn't spoken to him, said he was going to call him last night or today to see. Either truth or a deflected decoyHe was very specific. "I haven't spoken to him in 8 days". Weird thing to say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think papers are pre judging , I think the decision had still to be finalised yesterday evening Well Hopkins usual assistant is still at Morton (i think) so could be that we're arranging an agreement with Morton for him... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird thing to say. 8 days ago would have probably been around the time he applied for the job bit of a coincidence... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly but he’s currently managing Morton and they are showing no signs of wanting to appoint anyone else so he’ll probably stay there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it should be, I loved how Motherwell would pop up with someone that had gone unmentioned until then, that seems a classier and more exciting approach.

Showing no signs of wanting to PAY for anyone else. If you asked for McElhone, Crawford Rae would drive him down there himself to get him off the payroll. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
