He’s probably no better or worse than any other winger we might pick up from within Scotland. That said, most of his career has been spent in the lower leagues. Still, I can’t help but find it funny that Kettlewell has signed an attacking winger.
Going to play him as a RB (probably).

If we go with a traditional back four next season, I think Wilson would do the job just fine. As for Thompson, he doesn’t offer much going forward or defensively, so I would be disappointed if we gave him another deal.
Saw Wilson playing the traditional left back position for Beith and he was easily their best olayer that season when they won the WOSL Premier League title. Definitely looks happier playing in that role although he was used as a wing back on occasion as well.
Wouldn't have any qualms about him as a LB in a back 4.

Don't know much about Sylla, I must confess, and I'm aware of the Ebbe Skovdahl line about statistics but we've already signed a defender from a Dundee team that conceded 77 goals last season (highest in the division). Not sure signing a 31 year old defensive midfielder from that same team is guaranteed to help our defensive solidity...
I can only go with what the Dundee fans say about him and the general consensus is that he was one of their best players in a poor team and they're gutted to lose him.
Must admit any time Ive seen him he's looked steady if unspectacular which is probably what we're looking for, unless our new man has his eyes on something better.

If we werent continually having to look for a new manager what else would we have talk about during the close season.
Seriously though every new manager is a risk. This one is no different to anyone else we appoint.
He might bugger off after a season or he might just bring something we've all been looking for and become a club legend.
Either way I'm more excited about this appointment than I would be if we had gone with one of the recycled shit tactics Scottish managers.

We’ve had a fair number of managers who were with the OF:
Roger Hynd
Davie Hay
Jock Wallace
Bobby Watson
Tommy McLean
Terry Butcher
Stuart McCall.
Alex McLeish
Billy DaviesThe only one I had no time for was Jock Wallace who IMO was an ignoramus.
Funnily enough Im reading Tommy McLeans autobiography right now and it's spooky that a lot of stuff he talks about is even more relevant these days like the lack of young talent being given a chance for example.

i watched there games in the play offs and they were brutal,if that's how brown wants his teams to play then no thanks.
TBF I've seen them live 3 times in the League and they played some nice stuff.
I suspect he changed his approach specifically for the play off games.
A moot point anyway as I don't think he'll be in the running.

Leaving aside Brown's history, IF and I stress if we're looking for a young manager with a half decent record, seems to have done well at Ayr according to their fans and who hasn't yet been indoctrinated into the SPL shit tactics managers club, we could do worse.

Nah I’m not convinced of that. You tend to find that the people who buy the kits will buy them regardless of what they look like and those who don’t, won’t buy them. I genuinely don’t think that chopping and changing the design and template of the kit makes much difference to sales, or any difference atall.
Have to agree with you there. I buy the home, away and 3rd strip for me and my son every season.
It wouldn't matter to me what it looked like or what sponsor was on it.

The name doing the rounds is Thomas Wörle. Completely pulled out of thin air on P&B, but I want to see I'd the papers puck up on it anyway. Comes from the Ralf Ragnig gegenpress school like wimmer
Someone suggested that if we're pulling random Germans out of a hat Christian Titz must be a good shout as he likes to play with two up front.🫣
A Titz and Koc dream team😁.
Imagine the fun the daily rags could have with that.

Will reserve judgement until I see how he does.
Caveat:
He’s spent the majority of his career in the Championship.Every Dundee fan I've spoken to in person or online have said they're gutted to lose him and he's consistently been one of their best players every season.

Linfield have given Dundee permission to speak to David Healy about becoming their manager.
Dundee fans not impressed as he has history in applying for jobs in Scotland when his contract is nearing end at Linfield and uses it as leverage for a new and improved contract and transfer budget. Did it with St Johnstone apparently.

What a stange and underwhelming list. I've no problems with those being released. However, the "under discussion" list is lengthy and downright odd. I've no problem with discussing terms with Casey, but the others? If we're wanting to clear the decks and freshen the squad up? I get that the managerial situation complicates matters just now but the term "We remain in dialogue with all remaining players, whose personal circumstances are all different." Seems a bit odd. Does that mean option clauses could kick in?" No mention of Matty Connelly who I think is also out of contract and we have 3 signed keeprs already. Pleased that Olly Whyte and Mikey Booth have signed new deals, as they seem highly rated.
I go on the premise that ""under discussion with" doesn't equate to "offered terms to". At least I hope not but it is a strange statement albeit under strange circumstances.

Really good Interview from the chairman. Don't think there is much more we could have done. Ahmet happy to stay so see what happens there
Yeah quite impressed by it (media dept obviously looks in here🤔).
Would love him to stay but have a feeling that he'll join Wimmer back in Germany at some point.

I would think its more likely that the club have asked Ahmet to stay on until a replacement is found.
He and Wimmer have been inseperable for some time.
I would imagine he will be off to join him again in due course.
Shame. Cause he seemed a really likeable guy and a good foil for the manager.
I think that myself more so after watching the latest video from our Chairman.

That's who I'm thinking as well now that its been confirmed he's still at the club, but if that was the case would the club not have announced it right away?
Maybe still negotiating a salary and transfer kitty etc ??

Not a fan of these clauses that enables players to sign on again after poor season.
Alternative is you sign them on 2 year deals then youre left with a player you don't want and a player that doesn't want to be here but with a years contract that the club must honour. At least with the option to extend a player can find another club without a transfer fee being asked for and the club don't have to pay a severance package if he doesn't take up the option.

Surprised he was allowed to sign on Halliday and O'Donnell too as new manager may not rate them . Think possibly due diligence not done and amateurs running the club.
Maybe it was the board who wanted to keep Halliday and ODonnell took up his year option so not much the club could do about that other than offer him a pay off.

The same old managers being recycled from club to club, making a good living from failure year after year.
I hope we don't do the same, another appointment like Wimmer would be good
Maybe there should be a pool of 6 managers that the Diddy teams just swap with each other every 2 seasons.
Wimmer was our chance to break the mould, hopefully we get someone in the same vein.

‘Europe’ for us is great on paper but in reality it is us playing two glorified friendlies which either end in anti-climax or utter humiliation. Give me the league cup group stages over that any day of the week.
Winning a trophy, Scottish Cup or the League Cup would be the ultimate achievement for us. We’re never going to win the League title obviously but the Cups give you that outside chance of tangible success and that for me would piss all over any ‘European tour’ and all that crap.
I've great memories of going on the European tours but it was mainly because I was seeing places and grounds I'd never been to rather than "being in Europe".
I've had just as good memories from going to places like Stranraer and Elgin that I'd never visited.
A cup win would supercede anything else for me and to get the chance to re live 1991 again would be the icing on the cake.

Always a risk when you appoint a foreign manager or sign a foreign player especially if they've got a wife and young family who haven't moved with them.
At the end of the day family always comes first second and last.
