TheGoon Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Rutkiewicz is at Cappielow. Worthy of an interview, but I really don’t think he’d be getting so heavily linked if he hadn’t played for us. Would be a properly uninspiring appointment.

ETA: Its hypothetical though, it wont happen. Rajamaki is far less likely to get his head turned by a gubbins outfit like 'Falkirk' than the likes of Brian Rice or whatever ol' yeller candidate you were touting before. They have no connection or understanding of the potential of this once-proud football club - it is nothing other than a holding strategy for them. Your point is in fact an argument directly against appointing anyone from Scottish football's merry-go-round. They are ultimately mercenaries and when you don't pay comparable to the rest of the full-time game (to the manager or squad budget) then they will slither out the door. The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club. It's not supposed to be about point scoring and showing how 'clever' or 'funny' you are, or just being downright rude and offensive to people you don't know, because you can get away with it. Unfortunately, it seems the classic case of people who have little standing/presence in real life, use this forum as a way of making themselves feel as if they are something. It's sad, and I've said that before.. So, having been on Morton forums for about 15 years I guess, I've had enough... well done t*ssers, another Morton supporter driven away.

If we're running a recruitment strategy with a degree of ambition and imagination, he really isn't. He would barely get into the top ten for this job and would struggle to get a gig above the fourth tier of the SPFL anywhere else. I'm not saying he's a proven dud, but he hasn't done even remotely enough to merit a hearing as well as the confidence to seriously consider him for the post.

The two people that I had mentioned: Tony Docherty with Derek McInnes as no.2 is as unlikely as Rajamaki, however would be the dream appointment; and Eric Dyer, also a very unlikely candidate but you must surely concede they were decent alternative shouts especially as the suggestions from some of those on here include goofballs like Brian Rice. Paul Sheerin and Kevin Rutkiewicz. Anyway, why do you have such a hard-on for Rajamaki?

Except they're clearly not 'as unlikely' as Rajamaki, as neither have yet filled a Tele back page with their pitch to take the job. You also haven't explained why they would be more impervious to jumping ship to a club offering greater resources somewhere down the line than Rajamaki - who is not seeing the club as nothing other than a holding position on his CV.

One of the three is seriously interested in the role - the other two are not. This is extremely straightforward stuff and how local journalism works. See also Imrie's puff piece from last week.

dunning1874 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Have you considered that Tony Docherty has never applied for a job because he has absolutely no interest in being a manager? Anyway, whoever gets the job, their number one task is ridding that squad of their absolutely outrageous and baseless persecution complex. This 'why are the big bad fans so mean to us' attitude oozing out of the pores of the Robbie Muirheads of the world is indicative of a group of players who want everything to be someone else's fault. Alan Lithgow throwing in three of the six goals we conceded yesterday is because people are being mean to him, not because he's a fucking shite excuse for a footballer. As long as the players have this siege mentality that blames someone else for their own uselessness, they aren't going to take any responsibility for the mess they have put themselves in with their own incompetence. I'd love to see the treatment Neil Warnock would give them if he was to walk into training and hear a guy who's scored two goals in 46 games against Championship opposition whining about the big bad fans being mean to him.

Me and my pal spoke about this last night. It's highly unlikely Warnock comes in, but someone with his no nonsense attitude is exactly what we need. These "big personalities" in the team need brought down a few levels and/or get rid of them. A manager that's going to take this team by the scruff of it's neck. Duffy may have been the only manager in recent times that I remember the players having any form of respect for as their manager and not as "a good guy".

Mr.Blue Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I'd be happy if rajamaki or rutkiwiecz (sp) got the job until the end of the season. From the list of names mentioned so far it's a bit different from the usual managerial merry go round. The board have to be very implicit in their expectations though. Not entirely sure that will happen. There's a storm on the horizon And for that I can't see the sun For I'll keep a waiting on the pavement For the ice cream van to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONofmemories Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 The shortlist as i seen in a whatsapp group (credibility questionable, but not really given its Morton. In no order: Dougie Imrie Darren Young Joe McGlaughlin Brian Reid Kevin Rutkiewicz Uninspiring, but from that i'd take the gamble on Imrie. Hypocritical/Ironic as we don't need gambles but he intrigues me. TIME FOR CHANGE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocked he's even being interview (if true). It would suggest the applications were as grim as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies Craig, never saw this till just now. Anyway, the bit in bold, I reckon that its only a matter of time before he gets his first management role, and it will either be at a club at our level or a fringe Premier club. I've no idea if he has applied for any manager posts, nor have you I suppose, but he has a very good history - Schools Football, Youth Football, Reserves Coaching, First Team Coach, then Assistant Manager in the premier for over a decade - someone who has earned his move in to a management role if that's what he wants. From the outside looking in, we aren't the most attractive prospect for a new manager though. Anyway I'm just a guy on a messageboard and have no influence over such matters, but thats who I would like to see at Cappielow. It wont be him though. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
