Don't think "the greatest" is what we should be hoping for in a goalie. You're also basing your assessment on some of the above from a handful of games, whereas you have years of hindsight to benefit previous managers. We've seen what Marvin is capable of, and fletcher has been injured, then you can add skippy and Pearson who were instrumental in keeping us up and will be key this year. He signed straker and Taylor, who were awful, and Thomas who was a mistake. Clarkson was clearly signed as backup. Baraclough couldn't do the job, but let's not exaggerate.

Does Pearson count as his signing?

Think Steve Evans would be a better fit for the Rangers manager, or tax adviser. No chance we go anywhere near him. I am also ruling myself out.

Out of the 70 applications, how many are likely to be legit? Was it not close to 70 last time as well?

Not a huge Pressley fan, but he ticks most of the boxes, and has actually proved that he can bring through youngsters, which is his philosophy. So I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up with him.

So will Presley be taking over from billy stark?

Is he director of football?

Encourage the manager to bring through young players by not signing old players.

When was the last time any footballer/manager interview offered any real insight other than "we want to win" and "so and so's fit and this guy is injured"? Players and managers that don't produce the usual responses tend to be known as gobshites by fans and media alike. No one in any job is going to publically undermine their colleagues, it's not just a football thing.

Like Ian baraclough?

Bara won the league and cup with Sligo. Really hard to tell how much that all means.

Simo valakari. The agent above is Rudi Vata

Popular former player? Do we have any of those? MVG again?

Did he manage Morton in the premier, or did he promote them then leave?

Breaking news Jürgen Klopp has just announced that he'd break his sabbatical if the right club came up Coincidence, or what? Just saying...

Are we the only club who has had issues at st mirren and greenock?

I really want to avoid the ex old firm wankfest. So I think the final list of criteria we should forward to the board is: Not English Not foreign Not ex rangers or Celtic Not un-tried Not a usual suspect Not Stuart McCall Not Maurice maples Never been fired before Not attached to a club Motherwell connection preferred Does Russell latapy's spell at rangers really count? I like him and by all accounts was a big part of ict's success last year.

He's a highly regarded coach and assistant manager. Currently assistant at Newcastle, and only joined this season, so it's a total non starter.

Who ever has applied already must be of the mindset "they hired baraclough, so I much have a chance". My worry is that it's the same group of folk who are making this appointment, and they thought bara was the bollocks.

Anna signeul, girl power.

McCall to come back and take us to a playoff against hibs.

Lennon not at alloa? Surely we wouldn't be speaking to a manager that's under contract?

Does McManus have coaching badges? Considering we've been signing his pals and ex teammates, maybe he's next in line.

Such a likeable guy, wonder if he'd be my mate.

I think this is a must win
