Gary Locke and John Brown spotted in Elgin.

Bit late ain't they - Elgin appointed Barry Smith 2 weeks ago.

It's still 1996 in Elgin.

Wasn't McCann offered the job permanently, but turned it down because he preferred being an agent and punditry to management?

Obviously Robertson stepped away from the job for very different reasons, but surely questions whether he'd want back in now as well?

Yeah he told the club at the end of 2020/21 he wanted to move back down to the central belt to be an agent.

I've a feeling McCann might get it, don't really know why, I get the impression that he's enjoying the punditry stuff but wants to get back in to coaching. How did he do at ICT when he stepped in?

He did not win a single game in charge until he appointed an assistant to help him.
The assistant was Billy Dodds.

Why don't we appoint his assistant Billy Dodds then?

Robbo out of the running according to Scott Gardiner due to him still having a "job" to do. I still wouldn't be surprised if he's manager till end of the season especially if he gets a couple of results.

There's no doubt its the most important decision a Caley board has made in decades get it wrong Part time football awaits.... get it right we might actually be in the top flight before the end of the decade. 

I believe we have enough to stay up but we need a manager that'll get the best out of these players especially younger ones such as Bray, Harper, Brooks etc etc if we get full or even some potential out of some of the younger ones it can take us up a level..

Out of the main runners and riders, Imrie - unless he was totally scunnered at Morton, I don't see him moving. Davidson - be an interesting appointment, the interest being, is he going to have a career in management or will he tank at Inverness as well. McCall - knows how to build a team to get to the top end of the Championship but could be running out of pals to sign that would be useful. 

The rest of that list just screams avoid.

Apparently there is zero chance of Robbo and Christie taking the job. Goes against what I have heard but we’ll see I guess.

[Alert Mongoose]

Richie Foran on a short term deal is the latest in the Inverness area.

Christophe Berra in the frame. 

Robbo calling in the Hearts connection.

I think your internet connection is pretty slow.

That is the question that most of us Caley fans have been asking too.
 

When the role was created I’m sure it was mentioned he was to be in charge of scouting as he seemed to have an eye for a player. But anytime we’re playing he seems to be in Dingwall/Tynecastle doing the radio or whatever. So can’t be much scouting going on 

[Derry Alli]

Can't believe Gary Locke hasn't been announced yet.

[TheScarf]

I think he attends home games but whenever we're away he's in Dingwall for Sportsound or Tynecastle in hospitality. 

I'm fairly certain his job is Monday to Friday so he can do what he wants at the weekend but it's a terrible look for the club. He should be at every first team game imo.

It’s completely mental if he is on a Monday to Friday but is in charge of scouting football matches that are mainly played on a Saturday. I mean I fully expect Gardiner to have agreed to that but Jesus fucking Christ.

It's the only explanation I can think of or else why is he not sat next to Gardiner at away games?

Yeah, it must be right.

Daft thing is he would have gotten away with it if he wasn’t stupid enough to be live on national radio every second weekend.
