MelvinBragg Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 It's not always about money FFS. Sometimes it's about opportunity. We're not only a selling club, we're an opportunity club. We're a selling club?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamsie119 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I think we might be surprised at the candidates looking at us, given what McCall has done a lot of managers will see us as a great opportunity to bring on/save there own reputation.

stv Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Billy Davies or Owen Coyle with Steven Craigan as a number 2. As longs as Kenny Black gets punted and we get a coach who can get our players FIT..... Best shout yet and probably quite realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Paul Jewell? No. He was even worse than Roy Keane at Ipswich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghorn Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Best shout yet and probably quite realistic. I think realistic would be Black,Leitch or Adams at a push.. We have no money and we have just lost a potential asset, and folk on here are massaging egos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolhandluc Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 As Haggis says, its not all about money for some applicants. Some may have been out the game for a while and are desperate to get back in and willing to accept the salary on offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some may have been out the game for a while and are desperate to get back in and willing to accept the salary on offer Totally agree with this, Managers are a different animal to players (although Davies was apparently a greedy little fecker so he may be ruled out) Coyle's whole career has never been money driven and a club like Motherwell may suit him.

Coolhandluc Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Des McKeown asked if Las would be interested in job ! Neatly sidestepped by Keith ( not like him!) by saying he was only concentrating on Fri game but would like the job sometime in future ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxywell Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 There's no chance it would be Davies, he's Billy big baws now there's no way he'd take a step back into the SPFL and why would we want a manager back when he almost got us relegated last time. Surely Butcher is the only sensible choice, he's got experience, good motivator, did ok with what he had last time and he's unemployed.

We may employ someone off the beaten track? AGAIN!? Only for the 6th time or so in the last 12 years!? Although, seriously, a waste of time guessing, I sincerely hope. We'd never have guessed Butcher, McGhee, Gannon, McCall, or Brown, and I hope that continues.

fizoxy Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 This is going to be a difficult one because we need a turnaround with the squad we currently have, so a Gannon type with "contacts" isn't going to be the answer, and I'm not sure if someone with a completely new philosophy is going to be able to get their ideas across quickly enough. Although we enjoy a good comeback, I'm not sure if Butcher would come back without Malpas, who was our last internal appointment and that didn't go too well for both parties and I'd be surprised if he came back. I think his appointment was also the last time we made an obvious appointment! I'd love it if we went for a manager who is proving himself in the lower leagues in Scotland, but other than Ian Murray I don't know who there is. So. Former player/manager, no bridges burned, Scottish lower league experience, and not too radical, and unemployed = Derek Adams. He also has previous fir park scapegoat experience. Shit, maybe it is going to be Leitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Grew Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Terry Butcher?? FFS!! He had his turn with us and look at the rip roaring James Hunt he made of things at Hibs last season when they were in exactly the same fix as we are in now. Crazy idea. No thank-you. As for Derek Adams!? Considered not good enough for Ross County who are bottom of then league before this season even started so again no thank-you. IMO Scott Leitch should never been allowed back into FP so again no thank-you. We need to get some new blood in again. Somebody that's keen to get on in club management and not somebody that's been over the course again and again. For me I'd try to get Ian Murray. As a player he was wholehearted and bled for Hibs and often carried them at times. He's already shown in his short spell as manager at Dumbarton that he's got what it takes to succeed by getting them promoted on a veritable shostring and playing decent football by all accounts. And what about Scott Booth at Stenhousemuir as his assistant? Again doing a decent job and has had a great football upbringing. Two up and coming young Scottish managers who would probably value a great opportunity to take the next step on their football management careers. And if we were to benefit along the way then it would be a win-win situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
