Wonder if we’ll go with an assistant who knows the level. Not doing that might actually be the biggest risk we could take. 

I thought it was interesting that the club officially announced that Coyle had left, then a few days later announced Coyle jnr had left, but there has been no mention of Sandy Stewart.

I'm assuming he's also left, and will go with Coyle to his next post. He has been removed from the staff section of the website last time I looked. However given he hasn't been mentioned or thanked by the club, is it possible that he'll still be around next season? Wouldnt be the worst option to have as an experienced Scottish coach and would keep some continuity from last season.

And the benefit of course is that it fits right in with some of the songs too.....

The s*n is now reporting that Veldman will be new QP boss.

 

So it must be true.

^^^ supports a club that employs Dougie Imrie, input immediately discredited I'm afraid.

I hope all this double Dutch doesn’t mean we have to have an Orange day sometime

Interesting appointment. Always intrigued as to whether the whole thing is sustainable aside from lord haughey chucking cash at it.

Absolute banger of a theme tune, too: a platinum-selling, number-one-hitting theme tune – originally recorded as library music – which, according to Wikipedia, went on to become one of the 12 best-selling singles of the '70s! (So... The twelfth-best, presumably?)

Nice to see Paul Sturrock conducting.

I thought maybe Junior got a mention due to his spell taking the Young team. When I said Tam Coates would be a close second, I wasn’t speaking metaphorically. Defo need someone who can translate the Scottish game culture, especially in the transition phase.

i suppose Louis Longridge would be a dark horse too

Liam Fox for assistant?

 The Dons have also confirmed that first-team coach Liam Fox has turned down a contract extension and is leaving to be closer to his family in the central belt.

Sounds about right, he'd be in good company with the other arseholes and creeps they tend to give knighthoods.

So, is today the day we receive the 1:30pm email, announcing the new Head Coach?

Is that not usually on a Friday?

David Hopkin is still available. Just saying like, plenty of experience and one good job done (on the coat tails of his assistant), good eye for a player ( if he is totally shite, but can hoof the ball aimlessly). Give him the job for the laughs...

Wondering if we might face some work permit delays in announcing Veldman? Just remembering the time it took for Eze to be announced last year when we all knew it was a done deal.

2-3 weeks to get a work visa, I think. Depends when the application went in. Might be a “From July 1st” type announcement. Director of Football will likely be in charge of recruitment anyway. Seems to be the way of things now, so not overly bothered on that front.
