EanieMeany Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Levein took the Raith job in similar circumstances to ours, so he's actually maybe not too unrealistic! AWMSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andy Brady Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Rowan Alexander will apply for three 9th time? Brian Reid is a Dougie Boy? Hoppy until the end of season? Mark McGee? ' Must be more nostalgia acts outvthere dougie will want to explore. I'd go for John Hughes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmfc_craig Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Billy Reid, Jimmy Calderwood and Kenny Shiels are obviously the 'out of work' ideal candidates IMO However...we all know Dougie sometimes thinks outside the box when appointing managers so what about Marko Rajamaki? He seems to be building up a good reputation in Finland as manager of TPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Most of rae's appointments have been write populist and conventional. Cowboy, irons and moore certainly all were. Would love to see rajamaki but would think there is no way that would happen for all number of reasons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmfc_craig Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Again I know we need proven experience to come in but just trying to think of people doing well in the same respect that Hartley and Murray are doing... Stevie Aitken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonsilitis Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I think Hopkins will get a shot, at least as a caretaker for a few matches to see how it goes. I think back to other inexperienced managers given a shot - Archibald, Hartley, Iain Murray and they don't seem to have done too badly. Hopkin has excellent playing credentials and has played at a high level - Chelsea, Palace, Leeds and has 7 caps. He also has his coaching badges and has not done well with the development squad. Against that, maybe an experienced man is needed to dig us out a hole. Ther are plenty of examples of experienced guys taking charge and failing also. MacPherson at Queens springs to mind. No matter who we get, it's a throw of the dice with no guarantees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdc Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I don't understand the clamour to give the job to Hopkin. Can someone explain that one to me? Is there one!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to come all across all Thornton, but you've been watching Morton for a few years more than me... his name is Hopkin.

AyrshireTon Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Am I missing something? Why the f**k would Billy Reid leave the team who are top of the league and manage the team who are bottom? And I wouldn't even give Ro' a bucket and mop job at Cappielow. McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.
