I'm with you on that. I've never been one to get worked up over strip details or trims but I much prefer our traditional top of amber with a claret band.

Absolutely and why we insist on buggering about with our home kit and colours baffles me. You don’t see Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs or Dundee Utd straying from their core home kits like we do with last seasons or the horrific ‘throwback’ effort from a few years ago.

I liked the sound of the former Preston manager who was in the running last time. Not sure if he is still available, or if indeed he would still be interested.

I'm not sure it's an age thing I wreckon I'm one of the younger posters on here at 30. But I just like our traditional kit and wish we took a bit more pride in it.

I meant amber top claret hoop

Saw him in The Rex this evening , just a coincidence ?

Until Christmas ,then it's a new batch from the crackers.🤪

Bit harsh , if I am honest but each to their own opinion

No reason now why the release list shouldn't be published. Her Wimmer himself said, before last weekend, that he had a clear idea as to who he wanted to retain. Given timescales no reason now why that list can't be made public. That said, there may be one or two individual negotiations still continuing.

I hear you Yoshi and no doubt my thinking is skewed by a bias of Campbell, I loved the effort the lad put in over the years. And fair play to Halliday for playing every game at 33. Im sort of expecting him to step back a little next year and play less game but who knows.

I couldn't give two fucks about him, he's an ex manager whose uproven whether he was any good in Scotland and has left us in the lurch.

Genuinely very sorry to see Michael Wimmer leave. I believe his appointment was a bold and positive move by the club and there were signs that it may have worked out well for us. I liked the way that he seemed to want us to play and he came across as a very decent man. The circumstances of his departure have been explained to us and seem both reasonable and understandable. As such, I can only wish MW all the best for the future, especially with any family issues, and thank him for his efforts in keeping us in the top division.

I've always harboured hope that Craggs would want it but he's sensibly opted for pundit route - much easier life I imagine. For me there is a watch out re another Wimmer esk appt. By that I mean a manager who lives away from his family, If he moved to UK and his family didn't, well how was that ever going to work ?(forgive my hindsight goggles) I'm hoping there was a good second choice a few months ago then they may still be available. For the record I think we've proven over the long term that we don't appoint the obvious failed Scottish managers.

Jürgen Klopp please.

No doubt whatever happens wee Billy Davies will have his name in for the job

Did you mean that or did you mean amber top with claret hoop?

I'd go along with that Ally. We have a reputation for picking left field candidates so why not again? No Imries, Valakaris, Naismiths or Docherties please.

Not a name that anyone is going to mention on here, PLZ, the sun or the betting sites. No recycled Scottish journeymen failures.

Here we go again.

Good post generally. Only issue I see is that I'd assume Daws has known for years the type of players we need, but has in general had a very low hit rate of outstanding to dross. We really need to avoid another January window of signing 16 players that won't play because we're shitting it from relegation.

This is where I'm at. I simply don't know what to make of today's announcement. All I know is that there's more to this than the official statement. Its fair to say that moving abroad for work away from your family is a big decision and MW would have known this when he accepted our job. Previously he'd also expressed an interest in the Bristol Rovers vacancy. That said, I know nothing of his personal circumstances. From P & B it seems that the vacancy he's filling first occurred about 2 weeks ago. It may well be that he was unsettled before that, I don't know. It does seem strange though that he applied for or was approached for the job and landed it in a day or two. All thats as may be. He's gone and we very quickly agreed compensation. I'd like to know though when the club first learnt of his unrest. If it was a week or two ago you'd think that we'd begun preparations for this eventuality. Where does that leave us? Some good posts on P & B about this. The timing is not ideal but when is? I don't know when pre season starts, but would like to think we'll have a new man in place a few days beforehand. However, we're in a relatively good position. We're financially sound; our Premiership place is safe for another season; Lennon Miller's departure should earn us a few quid; the transfer window opens in a good few weeks time; and the squad doesn't need a complete overhaul. Brian Caldwell is in post to take care of administrative matters and Nick Daws will know of the types of player we're looking to bring in and individuals we're tracking or to whom we're talking to. The release list will have been finalised and players spoken to. I get that holidays may disrupt the search for a new man. But, yes, things should be moving along. As for replacements? None of the names being bandied about for vacancies in Kilmarnock or Dundee enthuse me. There is no standout candidate; just recycled names from the old boys club. We need to take our time and undertake due diligence (this time) but have someone in place a week before pre season.

I'll let you know when I see one.

Are you saying I come out with the same jokes? 🤣🤣

Gets a bit samey after the fifth time bud 👍
