They haven't been updated this morning. Wayne Rooney at 25/1 ffs, 2500/1 would be more appropriate, 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happens then let's see how he would cope with the abuse then, their fans miles more demanding. They are all stuck in the early 80's and expecting league titles and European trophies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistandshout1983 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Tam Cowan today putting Neil Lennon's name forward on BBC Scotland, nope for me He did also say Brian Caldwell's Dad died recently, maybe a good reason why there has not been any appointment yet. If Stephen Frail is in charge against Ross County let's see how he does before making any judgement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Stall Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 As much as its good to have a well fan on the wireless. Cowan is an old timer. Stuck in the past. His ideas, while they might be useful, are hardly dynamic ir forward thinking. Hopefully our new guys at the helm contunue to look outside the box.

Kettlewell has been described as ‘dynamic’ by a current employee. Be careful what you wish for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si91 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Watching sportscene there and noticing Craggs on with Alan Stubbs - is that a possible pairing for the manager’s job? Is Stubbs trying to keep himself relevant with the Scottish game🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Who would we consider as "forward thinking" or "dynamic"? Courts? Fotheringham? Maloney? Are we looking for someone that switches up tactics in a horses for courses way? Because that seems pretty rare. We're never going to accept someone coming in and changing a philosophy (whatever that means) because that takes time. If our new manager starts the way Simo did at St J, there will be pitchforks aplenty. Even though it looks like their patience could pay off. Of the names touted so far, lowe looks like a great option, with success at multiple teams in the english lower leagues. However, he was getting slated for defensive performances and not scoring enough goals at preston, so we may not get the swashbuckling style he was lauded for at bury. This is a great opportunity for someone to come in and figure out the league in preparation for a big summer, where there will be scope tonreshape the squad then all the loans and out of contract folk are away. As such, I'm good if it takes a bit longer to get someone in. Ultimately a portion of our support is going to be underwhelmed, or furious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron_Mcd Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Is Tam Courts not very Kettlewell-y? Would be very surprised if it was any of the Davies, Lennon, Naismith (etc) type names that the bookies are chucking about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 You can be dynamic, enthusiastic, have an encyclopedic knowledge of lower league players, and still be Jim Gannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfc88 Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Didn't hear it either, but I don't think Tam Cowan touting lennon will have any influence on the boards decision.... or if it does we have much bigger problems 😬 Edit: and by that I don't mean the next manager in charge!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye i saw the two of them in Upper Crust the other day , going halfers on a salad box with a baguette. Obviously Tam is in cahoots with Neil for the gig.

Yogi hughes was in front of them though in the queue, discussing the tuna crunch and how it “hid a bit o character aboot it” That could swing in in his favour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
