It will end up being Derry, Shamrock Rovers or Bala Town.

The Malpas Method? I would be fine if we promote from within, but I'd also like us to cast the net a little wider. No need to restrict our options and it never hurts to test the market.

Fair enough. I am, at best, on the fence as I never saw enough of him last season to be able to judge. If there are youngsters ready for the step up I would definitely prefer they get that chance.

I always thought Polworth was the replacement for Turnbull - before it all went pear shaped. I can see the logic behind O'Hara for Campbell, although Campbell would be a big loss.

Must have rejected that 3 year deal Barry Fry claimed we'd offered. It's almost like he made up that story.

I think for a few posters on here that should definitely be a requirement.

The away version isn't too shabby either.

Not many had heard of Robinson before he joined us.

In one of his interviews he also said he thought it was probably a bit too soon for him. Of course, that it is the correct thing to say when you're dealing with speculation, so I took that with the necessary grain of salt.

If they had added an iceberg it would make perfect sense.

I'd be surprised if Robinson wanted the NI job at this stage. But then again, I thought there was zero chance Hearts would poach Neilson from United.

Don't feel bad it took you this long to realise how much sense I make.

You must know different players and agents.

I know. That's why I said earlier in this very thread that spouting off in the media made him sound, to quote my exact words, petty and unprofessional. Glad you agree with me.

I said it earlier, but I suspect he was on the wrong end of some bad advice from his agent who no doubt told him to play hard ball and he'd get more money. And it didn't work.

It's difficult to tell for sure, of course, but I always felt that Robinson loves the day to day interactions of club management and isn't ready to give that up yet for international duties. It will probably be in his future, though. I still think Baraclough will be the next NI manager. He has an impressive track record with their U21s.

Exactly. If every club changed their badge based on current industry we'd all just have call centres as a logo.

Only watching extra time, but Bowman the standout so far in the play-off.

Going public is petty and unprofessional. These days, the first thing an prospective employer does is google a candidate. If they find you bad mouthing even an ex-employer on Twitter there's a good chance your CV is getting filed in the bin. What happened here is no different to the other thousands of contract negotiations that happen every day. Many of them break down for many reasons and both parties just move on. The guy is lucky he's working in an industry that is back up and running. Lots of people who had been contributing to his wages are out of work and looking at long term unemployment; especially other self-employed contractors not covered by the furlough payments. I don't know if it was him or his agent that thought going public was a good idea, but given the current environment it was pretty tone deaf.

Stairs and a tin of paint.

And field a speedy winger against him.

I'm usually in the "club shouldn't comment" camp. Once Tait went public, however, I can understand why they did. Even then you get stories in papers like The Herald today where they print Tait's side of the story, but not the club's response. Personally, I think his agent probably gave him bad advice and blamed it on us.

Hibs have a very wealthy person helping them out too. Now they are pleading poverty, mothballing their academy and cutting players' wages.

TBH, like most (if not all) posters on here, I've had periods of unemployment and been made redundant a couple of times. From that perspective, some footballers seem to think they are special and should never be subjected to the same employment issues the rest of us deal with. Bottom line is that he was out of contract and a new one wasn't signed. If you're a professional, you suck it up and move on. Running to the media to complain makes you sound like a bit of a prima donna. When he left, he left with my good wishes. Now, I don't really care.

Not to derail this thread, but you want to be careful with hola. It's "free' because you are allowing their paid accounts to use your computer and internet (or mobile phone data) connection for any legit or dodgy activities on sites that are blocked by their data centers. It's part of their terms of service.
