Chill Arab.
We MUST get the right man (no pun) & if it takes another few days to sort it all out then so be it.
You can imagine the tricky conditions attached to this appointment, notably length of contract & managerial back-up.
Fascinating factor is if Laurie Ellis plays a stormer today.

when a successful manager leaves there is a strong precedent of his assistant taking the job and doing well - liverpool boot room, walter smith at rangers,houston at united, wright at st johnstone

when a shite manager leaves and his assistant gets a few wins and gets the job, it very rarely works out long term. bobby williamson at kilmarnock is the only example i can think of.

I'm happy with fuckall fae club, that's how we should conduct ourselves, just pointing out the bookies odds are reactive to sources like forums etc.

If we win today Laurie Ellis is getting a fiver @ 25/1.

This Tommy Wright story must be complete nonsense?

A feeble attempt by The Hun to shift some copy.

Complete shite imo

You know what, the appointment of our new manager is turning out to be a bigger mystery than the Marie Celeste.

Billy_Hainey · 05/11/2017 9:32 pm

It's a mystery , it's a mystery ........

That reminds me - Toyah Willcox still owes me a drink. Thanks for that smeDUm.

So, 2 weeks in and nae fecker, inc ST, has a scooby...
well played baldy!

Surely Laszlo and Hughes are getting further out of the picture the longer this goes on. They’re out of work and ready to go if they were going to get the job. Even the most in depth negotiations of a managers contract doesn’t take that long.

If LE hadn't won his two games I think we would have had a new manager by now.
I'm glad he won his two games.
There's also murmurs of boardroom change and that could further be delaying the announcement of the appointment.
Huge decisions pending, just glad it's not me who's to make them!

SuperMario · 06/11/2017 11:35 pm

Surely, if it was one of the managers who are free agents they would have been in by now! So I wonder if we are going for a manager who is in a job ie wright or Evans

Courier saying Laszlo to be appointed in next 24hrs
