Take away Berra’s “dummy” and Dikamona’s error at the other, and I would be very happy watching that every week. Clearly, St Mirren are poor and we had attacking firepower back but the size of the improvement for me was enough to not rule him out. If he can deliver that regularly, I would prefer to appoint a coach who had demonstrated success. Every other appointment is a risk. If he doesn’t deliver. He’s gone.

I always think the best managerial appointments come when you have a very clear idea of what And who you want. We can’t afford to wait months imo - get the new man in, let him assess the squad so that if he wants to make changes he can do so in January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 The application on Saturday was better. Much better, but then 2 major factors. Steven Naismith the player and Steven Naismith the leader. If that remains consistent we have a chance to take a little longer. If by some miracle all is ironed out by Kilmarnock fine. If not MacPhee has shown he is ok in crisis management both last year and this. He understood the need for a radical change in approach, he didn't play safe. But it is a free hit, he does lack the experience I'd be expecting, not advocating he is given more time than is reasonable. Unlike other people, I don't think he is responsible. Two headstrong people before him don't make him complicit for me. Intelligent enough to undertake the crisis management role, I believe from what I have heard he has good knowledge of the game. Coaching experienced and egotistical people is another thing, see Cathro. I would have no problem with him taking this Director of football role, so long as the incoming manager is going to tie in with him. But that's potentially the stumbling block for Austin to take that position, for those less keen on his time with us. The profile could be awkward, pretty sure his pressers last week were eluding to it. Interesting to see who she plumps for as Sporting Director. Impossible until we have that name to make any judgement on what type of character a manager might be. Important therefore we do get the right people whilst not letting the grass grow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff Turn Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I can see the board making a dugs dinner of this. They give Austin a chance to prove himself and then inevitably take so long that they miss out on targets, conveniently giving themselves no other option than to appoint Austin as manager until the summer. If it were to happen, fair enough, I’d get behind him but I don’t think it would appease many who were virtually promised a manager with experience and a reputation. I apologise for appearing cynical but I have little faith in this board to do things with conviction these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy T Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 You can be sure over the next few days new names will appear on the list and we can all discuss how good or shite they are. But until the SD is appointed I can't see an actual managerial appointment being made (unless an exceptional candidate has applied) and the SD may well bring their own list with them - I reckon we're 3 games more under MacPhee before the new man is in place.
