I want a manager who gets the best out of players without constantly shouting foul and abusive language at them. It is just a pity that Leishman wouldn't take the job on in the short term. That would give us some time to get the correct man in. Hopefully they will advertise and interview this time.

Dick Campbell is a 70 year old man. Would he want a full time job?
Robertson top of the list for me closely followed by Petrie.
What about Paul smudger Smith? Currently number 2 at the wee team I think.
Also think Jim McIntyre is worth a shout. Much improved from his first spell where he was raw and new to management
Regards the coaching staff, not sure about Whitts but I believe Sheilds is a full time employee of the club and isnāt under a set time contract so may be more difficult to move him on

Steadied the ship? Not so long ago Montrose were playing off against the Highland League winners to stay in the League.
He's won them the 2nd division, had them within a game of promotion to the Championship and then got them back into the play-offs again.
I'd hate to see what the bar is for making progress.

Very true I was always worried about the inexperienced duo of Crawford and Shields. Now we have the inexperienced trioā¦..PG an experienced coach obviously but not as a manager in his own right. Whittakerā¦..first coaching job for him.
I feel who ever gets it assuming PG goes of course that under the present circumstances we need someone who has experience at this level at least..

This won't be a popular post on here but as someone who has been on a board for 8 years now I can tell you that the percentage success of headhunting versus a "proper interview process" isn't even close. Maybe we're just rotten at the latter though, ha! The fixation with a sit down interview + CV on here though is fast becoming legendary.
Also, running a business is mind numbingly hard work so all credit to our board for putting up with it through thick and thin.

We had El Bhaktoui, Cardle, Geggan, Falkingham, Moffat, Wallace, Murdoch, Byrne, Martin, Talbot, Paton etc.
It would have been criminal if we didn`t win that league. We did win it in style though, which is a credit to AJ, and I thought he was a good manager for us - aside from his last half season.
However, saying AJ did a better job with us than Petrie is doing for Montrose because he got a team out of league one and Petrie hasn`t is mental.

Missing the point. AJ despite doing a good job in the lower division failed in the higher one. To the point it got toxic on here.
What makes you think Petrie would fare better when so far hes only managed 4th.
Even if that is remarkable with his budget, it is no indication that he would be a success in the Championship.
Maybe he would, and that would be fantastic.
I think he needs a stint with a "lesser" full time team to see what he can do before risking his reputation with our glory hunters š

I would like to see Paul Smith given the chance, has done a great job with John McGlynn at the Wee Team and was the temporary manager when McGlynn was ill last year for a fair period of time, had the Rovers at the top of the league if my memory serves correctly
As some have said bring in Jimmy Nichols as a guiding hand and i recon you would have a strong management team
The first issue is that there is an incumbent in the position which is fast becoming untenable for him, there only looks to be one way for it to end so I canāt see why the club owners are not looking to take action
