On the radio tonight already, stealing Robb's Dingwall gig.

The guy has had a shocker and binned due to being utterly crap in management yet gets a gig on national radio giving his advice as an expert pundit just days later. Nepotism rife in the media as the old boys pat each other on the back.

True and ever so depressing! Part of the wider problem with Scottish football as a whole. Give me an Alan Hansen or Roy Keane punditry any day over the Willie Miller’s and Ally McCoist’s of the world any day!!!

Nothing against DD personally, he’s found his right level and place in football.

Dodds is pretty settled up north now isn't he? Not that much of a surprise that he's picked up a Sportsound gig again especially for the games in Dingwall. 

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

THEY must love it that everything is going as planned.

[bdu98196]

Dodds back on the radio today seeming perplexed about why he was punted while Chick Young and but chums wax lyrical about caley being rash and Billy being treated unfair. Also ducking and weaving any acknowledgement or interest into the action at Gayfield.

If Dodds genuinely never saw this coming or thought there were issues then hes clearly as narcissistic and deluded as the rest at the club.

I don't think Dodds is narcissistic (others at the club clearly are) I think he's just pretty clueless.

In fairness, I'd be a little perplexed if I'd just been handed a 2 year contracts extension a few weeks prior to being dumped, and following the drivel Gardiner spouted in the statement explaining it.

Apparently one of the Directors is covering Ferguson's wage bill, so I'm wondering if was Gardiner's decision to get rid, or if he's just trying to milk some credit for it.  Either way, it fits with suggestions the club were in a position where we couldn't afford to sack him.

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Dodds is probably shocked at being dumped and may well have been double crossed !! What a feckin shame. Perhaps Robbo may receive a farewell e-mail on his jollies !!

Irrespective whether Dodds or his radio chums felt he was harshly treated (they’re all living in an ivory tower), the simple fact is Dunc managed to get a victory with the same group of players, where he couldn’t.

Suck it up Dodds, you put us through some of the most awful matches I ever witnessed in ICT colours. 
 

Enjoy your half time cuppa with Chic, Willie M and other ‘media stars’ for years to come!

Ironically, Dodds team won 4-1 the last time he visited Gayfield in the Championship...

But lost 4-2 on his last visit to Gayfield.

When you are getting scudded every week, there’s no such thing as a Mickey Mouse cup. 
 

And it’s also the last national trophy we won.

I see Clach have sacked their manager, could this be the right opportunity for Dodds to get back into the game!

I was just thinking that after I posted. I had a look on some rangers sites, some of them are wanting Duncan Ferguson as he has a 100% win record with us!

Maybe the Clach Rangers job!!!

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

Dodds never really struck me as someone who could motivate players.  He had his chance to do this especially with all our injuries last year. Then at the start of this season with some new faces and few injuries he completely lacked that skill.

Hopefully they plump for robbo’s cv and management track record! He managed Derry for a ‘dod’ so thats a plus in his favour!!

Managing Derry a plus for Rangers?

[big cherly]

I heard today Dodds name being mentioned as part of interim management team for Rangers.

‘Cant keep a good man down’. Knew his tactical nous would be sought after sooner or later. Just surprised Celtic have been found sleeping and hadn’t moved for him!!!

I thought you were joking!

Barry Ferguson as interim manager:   "Ferguson, 47, is a Rangers icon having formerly been club captain and winning loads of major trophies. But this is his first coaching gig since 2022. The former Clyde, Kelty Hearts and Alloa boss will be joined in the dugout by current Gers No2 Issame Charai plus ex-players Neil McCann, Billy Dodds and Allan McGregor".

Get big Dunc in there too as defence coordinator. Also add Robbo as media match commentator to make a full pack of ICT connections.
“Dream team”!

They will be keeping Big Dunc in reserve in case Barry fails
