The new manager thread

[Renegade]

Supposedly, John Robertson has been informed that he has not made the shortlist and will thus not be the new manager.

[ICTRoughi]

Paul Hartley's odds shortening quickly... Last time I saw him he was 14/1 and just checked there he is now 4/1. Surely he is on the shortlist.

Tomorrow we play one of our greatest rivals, without a rudder on the ship. It will not do.

Not a bad result though for a rudderless ship ;-)

 

I think the understatement of the financial year 

I see Foran had to go over and sort out the substitution. he was definitely the man at the wheel

Levein, Hartley and....?  I wonder.    I'm going to guess Burley.

Levein, Hartley and....?  I wonder.    I'm going to guess Burley.

Chris Sutton, Craig Levein( If he has changed his mind about an interview) and Paul Hartley are my guesses.

[Renegade]

I'd guess Sutton.

[starchief]

Please not Sutton.  There's no reason to take someone so unproven.

If it aint Robbo its gotta be Hartley.

Sutton?

 

 

[Tichy_Blacks_Back]

Top 4 currently with Paddy Power are:

Sutton 2/1

Shiels 13/5

Hartley 4/1

Levein 13/2

....we shall see this week if they were right

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

I prefer Sneckboys lists far better not to use strike through and other typed highlighting - and forgotten one of the better candidates - Graham Alexander.

[bauhaus]

Did Kenny Cameron say how many was on the shortlist, or are folk just presuming there are 4 names. Craig Brown's name was mentioned a lot last time, and I was almost slashing my wrists, and it took a few years of Butcher to get over that. Now I hear the trigger words Sutton and Shiels and all those thoughts are returning

I just dont see the attraction of either, even for an interview

christ knows.

was hammered did I edit it?

[KingBeastie]

The odds are fairly shortening on Hartley. Exciting!

[BristolFashion]

Hartley would be a fine choice.

 

Can't rule out Vinnie Jones, looking to cut down on the sun exposure might fancy the move north?

[TopSix]

Hartley.

[Caley Stan]

Was there ever any meat in the story about Levein ruling himself out? It appeared in the P & J last week but the rest of the media have continued to speculate about him being on the shortlist. He'd be my choice if he is indeed an option because his track record in the SPL is excellent. Nobody else on the list of names above even comes close.

Think there was still a problem with him and his Scotland contract, he is still getting money from SFA, Until he gats another job of course, but if the job offer is way less money he will lose out.

 

Hartley would be a fine choice.

 Vinnie used to have a house on the black Isle near Munlochy, don't know if he still has it though!

Do they know something - are spondooliks being laid?

[KingBeastie]

They know what they read on here...

[KingBeastie]

Btw, have I mentioned that I'd like Paul Sturrock to be the next manager?!

[Ten4]

I would give Sutton the benefit of the doubt if appointed
