Yep, we use stats based recruitment. I imagine a large part in the success of it though is Martindale's ability to tweak and tune it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a bit nuts, non? New managers for Alloa, St Mirren, Queen of the South, Aberden in the last week (have I missed anyone?).

We've either got a super-awesome-secret-plan or..... A club with a bigger and less patient fanbase simply wouldn’t be getting away with this. Sack the manager, announce caretakers who never do any caretaking, stick the guy who was brought in to do a completely different job in to do the caretaking, with no explanation. It’s not acceptable for the club to drift along silently with no communication. Won’t be long before a few itchy hands reach for the pens for the EGM signatures if this continues for much longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've either got a super-awesome-secret-plan or..... Pardon the potentially obvious here but I'm genuinely interested. With QP, is there an element of the type of manager you want not being willing to drop down to L1? It seems to me quite a difficult sell at the moment with the team not really firing. I would have thought someone like Jack Ross would take the job as a 'project' on the proviso that the team would be in the championship next season. Even just finding a full time manager of the desired quality must be difficult. You need someone that knows League 1, and most of those managers are older, part time guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re in a financial position where we don’t need to jump on merry-go-round of the same old names. They need to know how to coach, develop and motivate. A big old world out there and I’d hope we’re looking beyond the usual names. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick1867 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 (edited) It actually wouldn't surprise me if the club's main target is waiting to see what division we end up in at the end of this season before committing. If that's the case then it better be a name worth waiting for. However, the longer we go without a manager then the more likely it is we'll still be in League One so that would be a pretty daft position for the club to take. Just hope the poster that said ages ago "we've got somebody lined up but he can't start 'til March" was spot on.

Yeah that's totally fair - I just thought the tactic might be to get some hammer thrower in on a short term deal to haul you out of L1, to be replaced by someone more fitting of the future plans in the summer for a crack at the Championship. Probably a bit late for that now right enough! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiders4ever Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Went along to today's game against Celtic and was refused entry along with another 4 people. Things went from bad to worse when one of them asked if I was the guy on TV. He meant Keith! Anyway we were 3 1 up at halftime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, that’s the attack sorted then. Now what about this free-goal tactic the keepers are using? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
