soonbe110 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 3 hours ago, FarmerTweedy said: I think the situation is probably (can't say for sure, obviously) that Naismith is a bit of an outside bet for the job permanently, that the club would be more likely to favour a candidate with at least some prior management experience at a decent level, and that Naismith therefore needs to really have an outstanding overall spell as caretaker till the end of the season to sway the board's view towards giving him the job. In that scenario, it's highly unlikely that his spell will be able to be viewed as outstanding if tomorrow's result isn't an away win. Agreed, I think they will already be well down the recruitment road. Should be, its nearly five weeks since they sacked Neilson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tynie Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 My guess would be as long as they are paying Neilsen, Naismith will be the manager and results unless catastrophic wont matter. Neilsen blew the season not Naismith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilsen blew the season not Naismith. Don’t think so. They’ll appoint who they reckon is best candidate. Too much money at stake to penny pinch. If we don’t get third this season then we need the personnel in place next year to get it back. That’ll be the focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many people queuing up with fictional scenarios to have a pop at the club. I don’t believe for a second with the amount of money being pumped into the club penny pinching will be at the forefront of the recruitment process.

Mikey1874 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Although its early days and it's different people (Andrew McKinley rather than Wallace Mercer) I'm getting Alex MacDonald vibes with Naismith. Inexperienced but the best attitude to football. Could well happen. And there's something about the whole fresh attitude and working with Frankie McAvoy to develop the youth system.

I'm getting the same vibe. If he has us playing good football for the next 3 games, and I'm looking beyond individual results,then I'd seriously consider giving him the gig.

Greedy Jambo Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 It's not often i change my mind about someone so quickly, I seen nothing to suggest that Naismith could be a manager after that Hibs game, but the thrashing of Ross County, and the performance against Celtic (up until the red card) were above and beyond what we would have got from Neilson.

Skacelsid Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 We in general want a team with an organised defence that moves play forward quickly ( not after 10 pointless and sometimes risky passes ), we want high energy, which means our players need to be fit ( and with a younger average age, maybe even some of our own youth ), a team that competes all over the pitch, players who will look to have a go/shot, and yes play for the jersey. Can Naismith bring these things ? early signs are good to me. I already see signs of improvement, or the refinding of form in Rowles, Hill, Haring, Devlin, McKay, Cochrane, and Oda given a chance. Those cannot be bad things. I do not see him as the safe Neilson or Levein appointment, as many suggest, and think all he has learned from those two will be not to follow their methods. I would take SN over any of the names mentioned, Robson, Gerrard, McInnes no thanks. I will be looking forward to next season with optimism if SN is given the job. Third place should not be any kind of criteria, SN has not cost us third place, he is trying to salvage it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerja Jambo Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) I have no confidence the club will appoint any coach which shows some genuine ambition. I hope I'm wrong but their track record is abysmal. We need an experienced ( preferably foreign ) coach with fresh ideas on coaching, tactics, diet etc and I would be perfectly happy to see SN as his assistant for a couple of years. To appoint SN now would turn out to be a disaster as will be the case with Robson at Aberdeen. Edited May 13, 2023 by Nerja Jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
