Should Grant remain as captain

[Alex MacLeod]

FROM THE COURIER

Personally I think yes. But who would deserve it if not Granty

[Andy Grant]

Absolutely 100% behind Munro as Captain :021:

[starchief]

Tokely and Hastings would do a decent job but how long will they last here?  Munro should be with us a for a good few seasons.  Black could be a very different kind of captain.  Duncan is in a good position in that defensive midfield role.  Does he do much organising though?  Can't remember much.  Ultimately, a leader on the park is what we are most lacking (that, and a goalscorer).  Bringing in someone like Pressley (no, I don't think he come as a player only but just imagining), like Dods and Mann before him would be ideal.

[Kingsmills]

Can't think of a better candidate.

[Action Man]

Grant will grow into the job over the next few seasons and will be one of the best captains in the SPL.  :021:

[KingBeastie]

Grant is the right choice IMO and if he has learnt from mistakes made this season he'll be even better.

If you had asked me this very same question during most of last season then I would have said 'No'.  It was my view back then that the armband was effecting him as a player and distracting him sufficiently to be impacting on his performances.

However, I agree with much of what he's said to the reported insomuch as he's grown into the roll and embracing it more and more with each game.  I also think that a large part of his dip in performance early in the season was attributable to not having someone playing alongside him in whom he had full confidence and he found himself often doing the work of two centre backs.

He's gone through the "pain" of learning and come out the other side and I don't see anyone in the current squad who would be more suited to the task.....for that reason I think he should remain as the Captain.

On the subject of Brewster having not given him any assurances yet...that's just the nature of things right now.  We don't have a clue as to who the squad will be next season (and I suspect Brew also has little clue).  The final decision has to wait until we know that otherwise you risk telling someone they will be Captain, then signing a more suitable character and either not having the best person in the roll or upsetting the person you have given it to early by removing it from them.

Should Grant be captain .... ? absolutely.

as mentioned above, he had a rocky start but has seemed to grow into the role. He still has a bit of growing to be in the Bobby Mann or Darren Dods class but he is definitely capable.

My only caveat would be if the club signed someone who oozes leadership qualities ..... not going to happen but as an example, lets say Steven Pressley

[Action Man]

If we did sign someone of that stature I would hope Granty would be left with armband, the bonus being having someone offerring support and advice alongside him on the park. Win win.  :021:

[Glebeict]

    Yes

[Pele_Is_God]

Definite Yes, no brainer really.......

[caley100]

Yes for me, but i would like him to be a wee bit more vocal and demanding on the pitch.

[Tug]

yes, but i sometimes feel that he doesnt nessecarily get the respect he deserves as captain from some of the boys, though this could be having been one of the boys to now being alpha male

[MissICT]

Grant is the only man for the job!!

I he wasn't it it would have to be Rossco!!

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

Grant is a rock from the Highlands. He can but improve based on the difficult experience he had early in the season. He is definitely a great leader and we are privileged to have someone of his calibre lead the club.

[Scotty]

and lets not forget .... he is sponsored by the users of this website  :004:

[Kind of Blue]

He's got a lot to learn as captain on and off the pitch.  In the absence of a better candidate in the present squad I would persist with Grant.

[BornCaley]

changing Captains is likely to cause dis-harmony and we have had enough of that this season...so keep Grant where he is
