The Queen of the South thread


Recommended Posts

Sounds like a Lord Percy Blackadder sketch.

"Gary, we need a new manager, ideally someone cheap and out of work..."

"Yes m'lord...??"

"Can you think of anyone?"

I have been impressed with the way he conducted himself at Hearts ( through obvious difficulties ) and what he achieved latterly in his time there . As this is a forum of personal opinions , then what is your problem ?

Don't get the hype with Locke. They only started playing well after Hearts were doomed, they were pretty abject beforehand.

He was thrown in at the deep end with a bunch of kids apart from Jaimie McDonald and a couple of others . This after drastic cost cutting stripped the team . In the circumstaces ( fifteen point penalty as well) he did well.

Interesting so st mirren are a much bigger club than queens...yet you point blank refused to accept falkirk were a much bigger club than queens despite us having a bigger average than st mirren every season we were in the premier...interesting logic

How many years at this level now mate ? Small club compared to St Mirren. You need a tissue ?

You are only guaranteed one big gate and any more than that would require you to knock one of them out. And even that gate the League take half the proceeds of. The playoffs are not shared gates. Home team keeps half of their gate with the other half going to the League.

Wasn't aware the league took such a percentage, ridiculous stuff or is that the reason the prize money is so much better ?

So.

Any Queens fans sorry to see Jim and Billy come to us?

Really don't know that much about him as a manager TBH......

Was obviously more disappointed when Magic moved on but that was under very different circstances. McIntyre did a good job in spells last year but think we probably finished where everyone expected us to.

It would be but the smallest possible step. Not worth making IMO. There is always the risk that Dumbarton fall apart this season and his stock goes down. Can't see it myself though.

Albeit it`s a league higher I`m surprised McIntyre has made what is in many ways a relatively small step up. Wouldn`t be at all surprised if County are in the championship next season

It would be a great job for Murray. Too many managers take too big a step up too early. All things considered it's a pretty easy job (no chance of relegation, no expectation to win a title and missing out on the play-offs with Rangers, Hearts, Hibs and Falkirk in the league isn't much of a disappointment) and would give him the chance to get used to full-time football.

As good a job as Murray has done, it's still only one job. Sometimes managers and clubs can just fit perfectly (look at Butcher and ICT) and taking a small step up and doing a good job there will help him as a manager and help his CV.

Not sure how much money Queens have to buy him though. You'd think the McIntyre money would just about cover it though.

County have the resources to stay up. Even if they do get relegated they have the resources to have a realistic shot at the title. Not really a small step from a club thats newly promoted to the championship to an established, albeit lower half, premier club.
