Never fancied Duffy. I recall he was very supportive of the Bunnet when it was long past his time to go. Implications were that we were an ungrateful lot (echoes of the 'nest of vipers') after all the Bunnet 'had done for us' (including several disdainful references to this website [or its predecessor] as 'keyboard warriors)! As for Pressley, please God no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome on the Bing Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 McCall, McIntyre or Neilson would be fine by me. The latter two strike me as the most likely candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 With the deadline be set for this Friday and Gerry going to take charge for the forthcoming game i think there must be someone in mind for the position i dont think it will be someone attached to a club as that would cost the club money i would think it would be someone looking to get back into the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 At the end of the season a lot of folk were touting David Hopkin. What happened to him and if he is available would he be a decent candidate ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emsca Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 11 hours ago, allyo said: I actually reckon Gary Caldwell could be a decent shout. Heard him on the radio the other week and liked the way he was talking, focussed on what he's learned and hungry for another chance. The guy seems intelligent and has always been a leader, and a winner. There could be potential there. But that is very little to go on.... I do like Ian McCall. Would welcome him back. No no no. Billy Dodds, Jim Duffy and Neil McCann all speak well on the radio but they are shite managers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Brother in law is Morton fan and was not bothered when they sacked Duffy,said he always played players out of position.During our play off against Livi Duffy spoke about how to beat them,but his Morton side never managed to beat them once last season.

Work with quite a few Morton fans and they had similar comments. They were all quite happy to see the back of him. Can't think of a club he's managed at that where the fans wanted him to stay. However were there not rumours in the summer of Duffy as DOF and Kenny Miller as player/manager? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 What about Phil Brown? One of his half time team talks would shake the players out of their usual second half lethargy. Would also mention that he was a right back during his playing career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But whoever the management team are they should use the experience that Dools and Erskine have at Firhill to help them. Maybe a few years down the line the dream team will happen.

I'm sure they informed the press that we would be losing a couple of players to them, Erskine and Paton, right before our big game versus Morton. Absolutely zero class. Really can't stand them tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-T-118 Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 What about - as a bit of a curve ball - Scott Booth (current Glasgow City FC manager)...? I honestly have nothing to base this on other than they always do well and I know they might have the biggest budget in the ladies leagues but money doesn't always guarantee success, he must be doing something right.  Would he welcome the chance to get back into management of a full time team..?

Gary Peebles Tackle Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 No idea who is available or indeed interested, but if we could get Ian Mcall, I’d be delighted. Good manager & by all accounts a nice guy too. As long as we stay well away from the high profile ‘just retired’ OF / English Premiership primadonnas, I’ll be happy. Again, all the best to Archie & Shaggy. Hope everything works out for them & their families. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eljaggo Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Disappointing that so many of the posts here are limited to considering the same tired names, and even suggesting that a Thistle connection would be a good thing.  I would have preferred to see a later application deadline and the net cast wider to encourage overseas managers.  Maybe this is the opportunity to shake off the shackles of the narrow mindset that infects Scottish football.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
