I thought Wright had moved to St Johnstone from England, so aye that's fair enough.

 

Stephen Kenny, Pat Fenlon and Ian Baraclough were the names I had in mind, all pretty terrible. St Mirren had the guy Kearney for about 3 months who kept them up in the play-offs then left to go back to being a PE teacher. Don't know if he's viewed as a success or not.

Oran Kearney is director of football at Coleraine now, with Dean Shiels as their main manager. Just had a huge cash injection from an investor and are snapping up some of the top players in NIFL like Joel Cooper and Levi Ives.  

If he wasn't on track to win the league at a canter with Linfield, I'd have said David Healy would likely have been on the radar. Tiernan Lynch who turned down St Johnstone has moved to Derry City , with Dom Thomas as one of his first signings for the LOI getting back up and running.

Damien Duff has been doing good things at Shelbourne too but wouldn't imagine he's have been in contention.

Outside of those names, there's not a great amount of good/great managers over here, or certainly none you'd expect to be on for a job in Scotland.

Folk can talk about who they want and who they think should get it all they like.

But it’s gonna be Frail. :rolleyes:

 

Based on what exactly?

He hasnt indicated he wants it.

There have been no rumours to indicate he is being considered.

He isnt even on the Bookies list.

Is this one of those situations where you predict defeat in order to lower expectations only to be delighted when we actually do something good?

If Frail has spent the past 2 weeks working on a 4-3-3, and deploys that tactic today, then perhaps we could assume that’s his job application submitted…

Yeah I agree more than likely they needed to fill out the article a bit so filled it with something that isn't going to happen.It would be an utterly left field and some appointment but would enjoy listening to reasoning behind it lol.

It has been pretty hush hush about the whole process but I have a feeling the new man might be in the stands watching the Ross County game.

Of all the names linked with the job Neil Lennon is probably the most likely I have seen that might get it.

It's bloody freezing yoday and it's a bit of a thought paying money to go and watch us v RC...if Lennon is in the stand , maybe I will just sit in house on a Saturday...hoping board have done their homework.

Just keep an eye on the press photographer's if they are pointing their lenses at the POD, the new manager will be there, either that or you see a few of them outside upper crust before the game.

I see Ketsbaia is in the papers again this morning touting himself.

Again no mention even from him that he was even interviewed.

Smacks very much of a guy desperate to get his name in the papers so he can get a job he feels is worthy of his talent!

Im gonna predict its Ryan Lowe.....

If it’s between him and Ketsbaia, I’d hope the former gets it, although my preference is Ian ‘Barrowcelona’ Evatt.

Sportsound are reporting it'll be a foreign manager but that it's not Ketsbaia.

Is Irish considered "foreign"?

Asking for a friend! 😆
