Who should replace Charlie Christie?

[dead_ball_specialist]

Nobody has thought of Rowan Alexander. He did the business at Gretna and was tipped for the top - then for some unknown reason the chairman decided to do the dirty on him. He's as good as any mentioned so far, although Pele and Brew would still be the safest bet to steer us out of trouble IMHO.

Amazing what can be done with extravagent amounts of money at a lower level. 

Alexander has been found out, anyway he's got a 5year rolling contract and still thinks he's the manager of Gretna doesnt he ? :015:

[CaleyD]

DBS, CC has just stepped down due to pressure of the job and you are talking about replacing him with a man who was put on gardening leave due to stress of the job!!!

[Guest TinCanFan]

I have to agree and say that it wouldn't be a good for Rowan Alexander's health if he became manager of ICT.  He's been mentioned a few times on here though.  Maybe Les Fridge wants away from Nairn.  I wouldn't have him though.

[Scotty]

Rowan Alexander ..... all I can say is no....No....NO....NO....NO....NO

Forget Gretna, just ask any Queen of the South fans !!!!

[Alex MacLeod]

How about bringing Bobby Wilson out of retirement with Barry as his No 2. :tic01:

Yep stupid suggestion.......................but not half as stupid as some that have gone before me.

[ictchris]

Rowan Alexander is a lunatic and a rubbish manager.  I could have won the second and third divisions witht he money he had and he did hsi best to **** up a 'gimme' position as Gretna boss this season.

[Guest TinCanFan]

Is David o'Leary in a job just now?

[wyness_is_god]

Stuart McCall  :tic01: Not been mentioned yet, doing a great job it looks down at Bradford City, only a few places higher than relegation to the conferance :017:

Well i'll be stupid aswell if people are mentioning Nairn managers :029:

[alternative maryhill]

Don't know the exact reasons, but rumours abound that Rowan Alexander made many enemies among the Gretna players, among the Scottish press and among people associated with Morton where he was an ex-player. If there is as much unrest behind the scenes at ICT as is rumoured, we probably don't want to be employing someone who allegedly has a rare talent for p*ssing people off. Besides which, he built his teams at Gretna by offering inflated wages to over-the-hill ex-Premier players - not a particularly forward-looking philosophy for a club that wants to consolidtae and build in the top division - and anyway he's still the manager at Gretna, dontcha know...

Incidentally, why would the likes of Shearer and Sheringham want to come to us? And why would we EVER want them? The two most arrogant members of a very arrogant generation of England players. They would no doubt consider Inverness to be third world.

Thats actually not the stupidest suggestion in here, in fact it is one that may have some merit ! I have always thought Bobby was a decent manager and got thoroughly shafted over the bridge.

Dunno about that, in the mid 80s, about 1 in 3 workers in Inverness always seemed to be Geordies ... especially in bars !

[dead_ball_specialist]

So what if Alexander is a confrontational lunatic??? Can you think of a top class manager who ISN'T a confrontational lunatic??

A long shot perhaps, but whatever happened to Wim Jansen???  :024:

[Caley Mad In Berks]

My nomination would be the same I made before CC was appointed, Steve Perryman MBE, currently Director of Football at Exeter City.  Apart from his brilliant footballing career with Spurs, he has managed Brentford and Watford, been assistant to Ossie Ardilles at Spurs, and also managed extremely successfully at the highest level in Japan for 5 years.  The fact that he is a personal friend, has of course, nothing to do with it!!

[Guest Arab4Ever]

bobby williamson?

[Guest samuelbarros]

How about some of the old favourites...

Sandy Clarke,  Jim Duffy, Graham Rix (oh, how did he get on the list),  Craig Brown, Richard Gough, Paul Hegarty (only joking)

What's Joe Miller doing thesedays? He did fine at Clyde.

[Guest Arab4Ever]

Jim Duffy (who incidentally has never won a trophy) would be a fine choice. felt sorry for him after what happened at Dundee and I imagine he would be interested in a return to management. Is he still at Hearts?

[Kingsmills]

I wouldn't be altogether unhappy with Jim Duffy.

[Pele_Is_God]

He's at Norwich and no thanks.

What about Caley's favourite ever manager, OK he's never been our manager but he's brought us one of the biggest results of our history  :015: The one and only John Barnes  :sillywave:

It is actually quite scary looking through all these names and seeing how many are out of a job  :010:

Arab4ever your clubs been through a **** of a lot of managers this decade  :001: which ones should we avoid ?  :blah01:

[FortressICT]

north tonight just said that when our new manager is appointed it will be our 5th manager in as many years.

i would say none of them, im sure they could all do a job for a club of ict's stature

[collectiveaction]

Possibles- Darren Ferguson, Terry Butcher,Tommy McLean with a younger assistant. Owen Coyle.

[alternative maryhill]

Reporting Scotland - which incidentally deemed Strachan having a wee tantrum at Pittodrie more newsworthy than Charlie resigning - named Brewster, Robbo and Malpas as the main candidates, with Brewster as favourite. Lazy journalism? Or are people in the club feeding their reporters their preferred shortlist.

A few people on this thread have mentioned Malpas, but he seemed to have a bad time, and play pretty uninspiring football, at Motherwell last season and I don't know anyone who was sorry to see him go. Can anyone explain why they think he would make a good choice?

[Connie.Orr]

Steven Kenny ?!!  GET REAL - no way on earth....won something like 5 games outta 26 matches for the pars ffs!  What the **** could he bring to ICT. No No No, let him fester away at the pars til all **** freezes over, we're getting a decent manager.
