hoodless Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The fact that we're looking for a new manager and there's a two page "Rowan Alexander" thread saddens me deeply... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyerton Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Alex McLeish was seen down at fort matilda today Could Dougie be offering him a short term deal to save the club from relegation? Stranger than fiction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunning1874 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I don't think so either but there's no question that the way it ended at Gretna was a mess and damaged his rep. I'd have no problem with Ro getting the job, I understand why some might not have forgiven him for the way things went between us and Gretna but tbh I think they're being a wee bit precious. It would be a bit sad if we can employ a rat like Novo with all his baggage while turning our backs on someone with Ro's contribution to the club. My objection to Alexander isn't because of anything he said about Morton in his time with Gretna, it's because he isn't a very good manager and appointing him would guarantee relegation. Apologies if you're not serious and you're just joining LargsTON and Andy Brady in the trolling, in which case carry on.

aimlesswanderer Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I'd really like someone to explain why they want shiels. I've said a few times that I'm really not convinced, but perhaps I'm missing something. I'm ambivalent about Shiels. On the plus side he won the League Cup, his Kilmarnock team played good football and he was keen to introduce youth at Rugby Park. On the other hand his overall record at Kilmarnock was pretty average, and he only became a demi-god in the eyes of the Killie fans after getting the boot by a reviled chairman. He doesn't have any other noteworthy managerial achievements as far as I can see. He also strikes me as a bit of an egomaniac, trying to court media attention by coming out with (usually quite calculated) controversial statements. I think it would be quite an interesting journey under Shiels but I'm not sure if it would be a successful one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunoon_Ton Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Is this just your thoughts or what? Where is Shiels, i thought he had confirmed his application in the tele? I also thought Reid was confirmed as well, or was that just someone's opinion that he had. "He's not the messiah........He's a very naughty boy!.............Now P*ss Off!"

You may be right, but when you hear the other names mentioned like Marko, Hopkin, Alexander, John Robertson etc. it makes you think Shiels may not be all that bad an idea!

I would be quite happy with John Robertson but the rest don't fill me with confidence. I would rather we got Shiels than most of the other candidates. Looking at the shortlist, Billy Dodds strikes me as a DDF-type appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunoon_Ton Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I met John Robertson after a Scotland game a while back and we got talking about football and Morton. He told me he applied twice for the Ton job and on one of the occasions, he never even got a response. To say he was annoyed about it and DDR's professionalism in general would be an understatement! May just have been sour grapes at the time mind you! "He's not the messiah........He's a very naughty boy!.............Now P*ss Off!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we exclude the use of generic phrases like his 'team played good football' and 'keen to introduce youth'. You don't even know if these are true. Just use your own words instead of all this guff. 20 years in Irish league and no one came near. Stay well clear of this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May just have been sour grapes at the time mind you! In fairness, if I applied for the job I wouldn't expect a response as I know I've got absolutely no chance of getting it and there's no need for the club to waste their time replying. John Robertson should expect the same treatment.
