  1. Please don't let it be Chisolm. He's had good press due to Queen's cup run last year, but they have never really been consistant in the league. Did they not go on a run of about 15 games last season without a win?
  2. Yep. If we get the Nijholt/McLean team in, it would definitely have me looking forward to the season ahead and I'd be doing everything I could to make sure I didn't miss a game.
  3. Nope. I'm delighted he's gone to Hibs. Can't stand him, and still remain to be convinced that his teams actually do play good football as I've yet to witness it.
  4. I think McGhee managed in the Premiership for about 2 minutes at Leicester, after joining when they were bottom near the end of the season. But I wouldn't really count that. He did however have a decent record getting teams out of League 1 into the Championship and had done pretty well in the Championship too. Gannon, I agree, is a bit unknown but seems to have a good reputation down south and would at least constitute us 'thinking outside the box' in our appointment. McCall, Reid, Williamson etc. would be a bog standard appointment from us just looking at all the usual suspects. Absolutely no imagination what-so-ever, and nothing for anyone to get excited about. Don't like any of them and really not impressed by the record of any of them in the SPL. The only one with a half decent SPL record is Williamson, but his teams play terrible football. Perhaps I would warm to the idea of one of them, depending on who it was. I think it was Cakes, (or was it MelvinBragg?), who at the end of last season said he had lost a bit of enthusiasm towards games. I'm kind of feeling the same currently, as I did when He Who Shall Not Be Named took over, and, I suspect, that if it was one of the Williamson, Reid, McCall gang being appointed would then it would not do too much to change that. Edit: Is John Collins not the favourite for the Monaco job?
  5. Nothing against our club obviously. But all the others mentioned are hopeless. People keep going on about getting in someone with experience then go onto mention people like Billy Reid or Brian Reid who have only ever managed at a lower level and pretty much all of them have a terrible record in the top division.
  6. Last time out, before McGhee applied, I was keen on Luc to be given the job. This time round I think he should be the first choice and if he can't get Boyd,McCart or Rob Matthaei, who assisted him at Telstar in we should definitely try to get Craig Brown or Tommy McLean in with him. I would be delighted with that. Just abvout all other names mentioned other than McAllister, Calderwood or Gannon would pretty much ensure I wont be back while they are there.
  7. If we were to go down that route of thinking I'd much rather go with Craig Brown or Tommy McLean. I'd be astounded if this c**t is mentioned. If, in the highly unlikely event, he is offered the job I'll pay him double not to take it.
  8. I mentioned that to my mate last night. I would reckon that we'll try to get Leitch or McCart to take the job with either Craig Brown or Wee Tommy helping out. Will be interesting to see who applies though. I'd never have thought McGhee would have the last time and was Walter Zenga not mentioned at the time too?
  9. Were we rumoured to be interested in Mark Hudson at Rotherham last summer. Think he's a centre mid. Might be pointless second guessing targets until we know who our new boss is, but he's leaving them on a free transfer.
  10. Surely we can pay more than his dole money.
  11. Is John Kennedy not ou of contract at Celtic this summer? If he could stay fit, I'd like to see us pursue this one again. I know he'd probably end up in the Championship, same as last summer, but perhaps the chance to re-build his career, play every week and not having to move his family about would sway him to join. He was keen to sign for us before his agent and Celtic started to make noises about him going on loan and kicking off an auction for him.

    So It Begins...

    Did it not say in one of the updates that after the first week things would start to slow down as that would be all the heavy work done, and the work after that would take a bit longer to get through.
  13. What difference would it make if McGhee came out and said he was intending to stay on at Motherwell next season. Even if he did it still wouldn't stop all the paper talk, and if some other club want to speak to him they would still come to us and ask. Look at the Owen Coyle story. Despite having apparently told Celtic he's not interested and was going to talk to Burnley about a new contract, we are still getting stories that Celtic are waiting for him to get back from his holidays to try and talk to him again.

    I think the strip looks brilliant. Went up to try see it 'in real life' today butthe shop had closed. The 'Men Of Steel' ad's for the launch are impressive and the whole teaser campaign was a good build up. I just wonder if the people involved with this at the club feel that the time and effort put into it might help us renew our sponsorship deal with JAXX in the summer and even Canterbury, when the time comes, as I would imagine the campaign hasn't gone unnoticed by either of them.

    Canterbury

    Lovely. Honestly though, it was mentioned earlier in the thread that it would be unveiled and available for order sometime in July. No mention of colour or design. Perhaps that may change though if it has to be used in Europe early on.

    Canterbury

    Brown, apparently.
  17. I would think though that McAllister's spell at Leeds since that time though has left him in a weaker position than before. Perhaps he might now think about coming here to start himself off again.
  18. I'm pretty sure if this scenario unfolds then we would still be entitled to a pay out from Aberdeen, as it would be clear that McGhee only quit us to take up their post.

    Home Tie Venue

    Fuck playing at Airdrie's dump. Let's have our home leg at our opponent's ground as well.
  20. Now though, do I sacrifice the season ticket and hope we are away for the 2nd led so I can go, or do I chance it and try for both. Wish I didnae book Alton Towers now.
  21. Brilliant. Hopefully a second leg away trip to Ireland or Wales on the cards.
  22. The last few times the post has opened up was it not reported that Walter Zenga had applied, on more than 1 occasion. Think he ended up at Dinamo Bucharest, before quitting. Not sure of his record though. Gary McAllister and Luc are about the only other names I could think of. No...one more, Micky Adams

    Dougie Returns!

    Brilliant man, cheers. I shall be there on Tuesday then.

    Flow. Is the ticket office open tomorrow for me to go and get a season ticket? Also do you know how much it is per month to pay up a ST for the East Stand? Cheers
