Caley away, with Yogi and...

Who's it going to be? Foran? Robbo?

Hoping John Collins or Robbo.

I'm more concerned their first name rhymes with Yogi. I like that chant.

Could Duncan Shearer be assistant and manager of the U20s?  He certainly wouldn't be the worst choice.

Yogi & Baz?

 

I've warmed to John after seeing the interview but either way he'd have my full support, the choice of assistant manager could be pivotal in swaying others with reservations I feel.

I am impressed by him wanting to take his time over his decision, shows respect for the club and players IMO and also that he perhaps feels he's the one that has to fit in.

Really looking forward to Saturday now.

Scott Kellacher more than capable taking over the U20

Remember he needs more than just an assistant. Potentially another coach and GK specialist too.

and a scout!

BBC:

 

Chairman Kenny Cameron said that Hughes is in the process of selecting an assistant and "has not ruled out choosing someone already at the club".

..and a translator for the non-scots in all the team. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when JH was being introduced to the players:

 

Richie Foran: "........and tis is our number tree, Graeme Shinnie"

John Hughes: "eh? Whit's a 'Number Tree'?"

RF: "Eh?"

JH: "Aw ye mean shree"

RF: "No he's name's not Cheree, it's Graeme!"

JH: "Eh?"

 

Think we've missed out on Jimmy Nicholl who's just re-joined Cowdenbeath, hugely experienced with a wealth of contacts all across Britain

Richie Foran

Too early for Richie perhaps?  Let him carry on the sterling job he's doing on the pitch.  Although saying that if he wants it then I'd be very happy.

Russell Latapy!!

Having been a wee bit deflated by the managerial choice, I'm kind of hoping that the assistant will be a name that inspires me, one that looks like forming a great management duo and who could potentially be the next manager.

 

We all know that the last management regime was successful despite comprising flawed individuals - but between them they had all bases covered and it worked well.

Another managerial debate. Perhaps we need a poll. I hear Ossie Ardiles has handed in his CV again.

I want Paul Sturrock!!!

Maybe Yogi and Ossie could share the pre and post match interviews..

That's surely your own business but who would you like to be our new assistant manager ? 

There's certainly plenty of options out there. Hope he appoints an assistant soon so that we don't have another 50 odd pages of guesswork

 

Possible candidates, although some wildly speculative; John Collins? Owen Coyle? Micky Barron? Barry Wilson? Ritchie Foran? Duncan Shearer? Charlie Christie? Chris Sutton?

I can confirm that it's not me...something to do with a lack of fabric at Errea.

What I find very interesting about the Assistant Manager appointment is the approach Yogi is taking.  It could be very easy for a football manager to take one of the guys they have worked with before as an Assistant.  Yogi wants to see how the players and current coaching staff operate and choose someone that will be suited well to not only being his Assistant but suited to the club as well.  That shows so much respect for the club and the players.  This makes me trust in him that he really is the right fit for the club. 

Radio report implying he is checking out Foran and Shearer I would be happy with that

as they know the team and how to get the best from them .Together they could come

up with something special .

Robbo for me.

I'd be delighted if it was Robbo.

Robbo would probably be a good choice, although if he could get Donald Park...
