Do you want good signings or good fitbaw? Both but good tactics generally help you win games , so do good players right enough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a lottery really, he could be a success or it could bomb. (just like any appointment) Like I said before, hopefully he learns from the mistakes he made at Dens. He's got all the uefa diplomas. I think he would do well. Thank you. Edited May 19, 2022 by Bigmouth Strikes Again 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true. We were first to arrive at the party and are watching our rivals casually turn up 30 minutes before closing time and help themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJimmyofNic Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) As usual we'll be paying peanuts to get the monkey, its obvious they're expecting the fans to cough up for their financial feck up in signing you know who, and if that turns out to be the case they'll end up with even more lost revenue Edited May 19, 2022 by SirJimmyofNic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Almost like this could've been avoided by not waiting until the last moment to make McGlynn an offer, assuming they were indeed serious about keeping him. Zero backup plan in place and it's apparent. The Dundee and Dunfermline jobs have come available during the intervening period, with Dunfermline probably still representing a more attractive proposition. We have already been outflanked by a League One side, after all. Edited May 19, 2022 by Michael W 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 It seems clear: 1) There was a feeling that JMcG would wait around for Raith to offer. 2) They were mulling stuff over and considering replacements for JMcG when Falkirk nuked Rennie and asked to speak to JMcG. 3) They panicked and tried to sign JMcG but were outclassed/outbid. 4) They tried to make it look intentional by designing a long application period. 5) They failed to consider what other teams might do in the same period. 6) Like ostriches, they ignored the fact the job is somewhat unappealing due to press and budget concerns. 7) They stuck to the timeline, even after it became apparent it was an error. …and now… They’ll probably hire the wrong guy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irosshed and I was wrong Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Hoping for Ian Murray, would accept Thomson as long as he stops embarrassing himself on social media but expecting he goes to Dundee and probably the right outcome. Accepting we'll end up with James McPake, Jim Duffy or Nacho Novo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJimmyofNic Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 They must've wanted Thomson that they asked permission to speak with him, he's obviously turned us down for whatever reason (money). Its likely Berra is being earmarked for player / assistant manager to who wants the job (Fox) They're bound to realise the supporters wont stomach another fiasco 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would really hope we have a go at getting Murray because that league could be a graveyard for a couple of managers if they don’t get up including Mcglynn. If we don’t flirt with relegation then job is probably safe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heard from another source Thomson is a done deal to Dundee but who knows They’ve not long put out a statement saying they’ve not even interviewed anyone but have got a short list, maybe your source is talking pish (or he could be right)….. remember Thomson was supposedly a done deal at Killie but opted against it for Derek McInnes, I think Dundee will try go all out for Jack Ross, someone that knows the league and has gotten out of it.. tbh no one knows at this point there’s so many names banded about for both jobs don’t know what’s true 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
