I apprecate from bitter experience the concern about appointing a rookie Manager but Carrick's a rookie who knows the Club. Fans (not just Stirling fans) saying they wouldn't want the usual merry-go- round of failed Managers at their Club must appreciate that new Managerial blood has to start somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate what you're saying and failure in League 2 could be catastrophic but nothings guaranteed even with an experienced Manager. Best of luck in finding the right person anyway and hopefully a quick return to Lge 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a trapdoor out of the league down here now mate and another home grown rookie is a hell of a risk. The goodwill is appreciated though, so thanks for that.

Carrick or McLean as asst mgr maybe? I can't work out if the board have planned this knowing relegation was a possibility a month ago. The fact they are asking for applications suggests they haven't got anyone lined up - or maybe not. As long as it's not Barry Ferguson or a pundit type - that would push my patience to the limit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these pundits should be great managers when you listen to the way they talk, it's only when you give them a job you discover they're crap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does, he is/was a Youth Coach at Hearts (going by a YouTube interview he was in last year) and met James Creaney on his pro-licence, which is when he recommended him to KR. There’s no sure fire, successful way to appoint a manager and I wouldn’t be against a rookie, whether that be Carrick, Pabs or Snodgrass…or someone else who’s hanging up the boots…I just want a positive appointment that attacks and tries to play football, not another KR sort that talks the talk, hoofs the ball and is eye bleedingly awful to watch and makes you question why you go to the football on a Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. Just out of interest, and not having a go, but where CAN people mess around with a rookie? Surely they need to be given a chance somewhere, and isn't league 2 probably the best place? On another note, who is even picking your manager? I hear its like the Mary Celeste down Forthbank way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screw up badly in L2 and you run the risk of the ultimate trapdoor to oblivion. Screw up in L1 (like we did with rookies in Gibson and then Bartley) and it's a lesser (although still bad) risk of dropping into L2 - ie bad, but not quite the trapdoor to oblivion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
??? Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Heard a rumour Darren Barr may be interested. Decent career spent at a high level, probably curtailed due to injuries. Recently been doing youth work at Morton then Airdrie. Thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like others, I would rather not a rookie appointment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to like appointing ex-Annan staff in coaching/management positions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
