Then failed to keep Stirling in this league. He's had 3 jobs in this division and Albion Rovers is the only team he's had relative success with. That said, given the list of names above, he's nowhere near the worst shout. The worst shout is Danny Lennon. He won the league with Stirling and also with Albion Rovers. So that's two league wins in 3 jobs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two League 2 wins. A relegation with Stirling from this league and sacked from East Fife when they were bottom in this league. All I'm saying is there's a reason a part time club the size of Arbroath haven't given him a chance before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 It’ll be interesting to see what happens. But please not Ray McKinnon, please. I would actually even prefer someone like Jim McInally to him Really just need someone that is a leader and that people can get behind - squads basically built minus 2/3 players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm saying is there's a reason a part time club the size of Arbroath haven't given him a chance before. He had a barely league 2 defence with Stirling, and was hardly able to sign any players. Of course he got relegated with Stirling. I don't think that should count against him, he almost got them safe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I wonder if Arbroath may go down the younger guy route given the last two guys have been older heids. Although the Arbroath board strike me as the types who would prefer a dusty old Jim Duffy over a young fresh ex player with new ideas type. I actually don’t think Darren Young is a bad shout tbh. His sacking at Stirling was harsh and I know a lot of the squad weren’t happy in the slightest about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid it counts against him regardless of what you think, hence he's no longer in a job. Ian Murray is the only name mentioned that would impress me so far, and I think there is zero chance you get him. Ray McKinnon would be a f**king hilarious appointment so I'm right behind that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete collapse of a football club. They were clearly hanging by a thread. It wasn't even his squad, he took over an existing squad and won the league. He's clearly done an excellent job, winning leagues at 2 of his 3 clubs. I don't know what you have against him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what you have against him. He took over Stirling in December 21 and won League 2 in 2023, how the f**k is that not his squad? He then kept that squad together and got Stirling relegated, and lost his job. I don't have anything against him, I'm offering some balance to this smoke you're blowing up his arse. Also Stirling look less like a club in complete collapse than Arbroath right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're just a wee bit bitter because Stirling embarrassed your wee football club to such an extent that you started refusing to play games against them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godlovessmokedhaddock Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 At the game yesterday I was thinking that we could do with a Paul Sheerin style appointment. Not sure if we’d get an ex premier league player, but Gold with Jim McInally in the Stewart Petrie role would be a good fit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The take that Darren Young was somehow working against all the odds with a Sunday league budget and being forced to keep all of the same players. I still think his sacking was harsh but he chose to go into League 1 with that squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His sacking at Stirling was harsh and I know a lot of the squad weren’t happy in the slightest about it. I dunno, in fairness the club try and do everything they can to innovate and do new and different things off the park which has funnily enough been quite annoying when like has been said a million times nobody would be annoyed about it if it was all good on the park I could definitely see them going for someone younger - but with Paul Reid involved he also seems to maybe be a wee bit jobs for the boys from what I’ve heard so praying with everything I’ve got that doesn’t translate over into helping decide who the next manager is 9 minutes ago, The Moonster said: It was his squad, he stayed loyal to players when he could've moved them on.

Cannot see any way that Ian Murray takes it or why on earth he would want to come anywhere near it either.

Claudia Gentile Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Arbroath need some honesty and courage in the hot-seat. One man can bring those principles to Gayfield ANNOUNCE JOHN HUGHES! Your time has come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have I said that is bitter and not factual? He's been sacked from two League 1 clubs, for having one bottom of the league and the other relegated. I already said he's far from the worst shout. I would say you claiming he has done an excellent job at 3 clubs is far from objective. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
