If we remember Davie Hay or Terry Butcher taking over, it's a different story. Rogers comes across well, but who really knows if he would keep us moving forward, or if he's even interested.

I had thought Malpas would have learned a lot from his time at Dundee Utd, but apparently not. Butcher was a good fit for the situation we found ourselves in, but never really rated him as a manager. Top bloke, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was nowhere near the dressing room in the 10-15 mins leading up to kick off. He was at the dugout gabbing to the mascots parents and the photographers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Grew Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 I’d be really gutted if JBA does leave us but if he does go, I’d prefer it if he went to Toulouse rather than the pit belts. Rumours that the salary on offer at Toulouse is £1 million per year. If that’s true then he’d be foolish not to want to go there. It’s a sad fact of life for small clubs like ours that success has its down side too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 What would he get and where could he go after another season here? Although I suppose same question applies to him being at Toulouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does leave, I hope it's Toulouse, as it would be nice trip to go and watch his new team play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk play some good football and I assume we'll be in a better place financially than them while having one of the best academies in the country. Outside him nobody in Scotland really interests me. Hibs fans seem to be desperate to get rid of David Gray I wouldn't mind him rocking up here if he gets mutualled and Simo is an option in but I expect we would look abroad again.

joewarkfanclub Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 The club are currently only negotiating with Toulouse to allow them to speak to Jens. Always the chance he hears something that sets off alarm bells and decides its not for him. However, if and when he does leave, I 100% expect our next manager to be from outside Scotland. As others have said, lots of countries have numerous teams / managers / coaches that play the way we do now. Id also proffer that Jans would have some input into who might be a suitable replacement.

I suspect the Board and the Manager knew aobut the interst much sooner, but kept it quiet. Deals like this can be quite complicated, so likely some behind the scenes negotiations have been taking place. I wasn't sure when he'd leave, but was always 100% sure it would not be for a Scottish club. I'm actually OK with it happening this quickly, as it will allow us to bring in the new man for a full summer of preparation. Much better than losing him in late July or early August.

Looking back at the video of his speech in the dressing room after the Hibs game, i sort of sensed he was saying goodbye himself..or does that sound daft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
