CrispyMelon Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Has Gibson returned to Queens with Murphy? Otherwise I reckon he’d be in with a shot of the job at Annan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably burnt too many bridges to return to Palmerston , although never say never in football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really getting the thinking behind this idea tbqh. Results will (should) be the only criteria if he keeps his job or not, I doubt friendship will come into it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It obviously shouldn't, but of course an existing personal relationship will help Murphy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Cormack sacked Stephen Glass at Aberdeen with a very similar close family/friends relationship after that turned to disaster. Murphy has a far stronger track record to point to as well. The relationship will have helped him but it's not like it's the only reason we've gone for him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’m saying is if Murphy is struggling during his contract he’s likely to get more patience than any other manager due to his existing relationship. And did Cormack not do a mad radio interview defending Glass when he was under pressure at the time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenacres Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 33 minutes ago, 19QOS19 said: Given his focus of Goss I really wouldn't be surprised to see him return. Though I thought he had an apprenticeship now (or had qualified)? Be mental to chuck it to go FT with us. Can't say I'd be too keen either. Luissant has looked ok at times but seems to go missing for long spells as well. I'd actually be happy to get Gibson back Hopefully we can sign Annan better players but this is our problem a player from Annan will make more with a decent job and playing part time with them. Hopefully our new director and eventually board will really back Murphy with a decent budget if not he has a very difficult job of trying to attract decent full time players . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 It shows how broken we are as supporters the now that we're discussing the logistics of sacking our new manager, 40 minutes after he's been announced 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoonhamerDon Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Best of luck to Peter, fully behind him. Hopefully we've bagged a manager on an upward trajectory and we can both benefit from improvements and a return to the Championship. Exactly what I hoped for with the Bartley appointment of course (!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is a steady appointment though, so think we should still be aiming for the play-offs next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the philosopher Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Might see the return to training in Dumfries. Probably got his eyes on some of the Carlisle rejects released at end of season. Benjy is almost certain to be one of the players he'll take with him. Chapman and now Murphy moving on shows the opportunity the Annan job offers and the fact we give managers time ( never sacked an SPFL manager ( yet ! ) . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Decent appointment, thought he did a great job with Annan. One of the teams that came to TFS and played some decent stuff, good luck for next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably because there's very low expectations on Annan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
