Clearly there is loads of speculation and opinions on who should and shouldn't be our new manager. However, what happens if the interim management do well (say we pick up 9 points out of 12)? Should we then give Shields & Whittaker a contract (at least until the end of the season)?

Reading the update on official site didn’t fill me with confidence. Shields thought that the result at Arbroath was a ‘hiccup’. Got to be understatement of the year there.

I agree with parsfan97 but financially it might not be doable depending on contracts but in an ideal world a manager should appoint his own coaching staff.

I think a "hiccup" is the right way to think of it. We effed up and it sounds like the players will use it as a learning opportunity.

For those who've said no, don't you think Shields & Whittaker would deserve a chance if they are able to get the best out of the players? Seems a bit too simplistic to just say "no, we need to bring in someone else".

We don’t need a master tactician to get us out this mess. We need someone who can motivate players, put round pegs in round holes and target better players during transfer windows. I’m not against the idea. Give them a chance for a few weeks. Rather that than rush into the wrong appointment.

Agree. You have to be open to options. It is hard from the outside to understand the relationships within the management team. I think we need an experienced man manager. I think with the plan to develop players Shields and Whittaker have a long term future at the club.

If they get good performances/results, then they should be considered. How many people saying absolutely not have been critical of the board for not considering all applicants last time? If they apply (individually or as a team), they should be interviewed and the board should be watching what they do and asking players about their thoughts.
There’s no harm at all in giving them due consideration. Right now, I wouldn’t imagine they are anywhere near the top of the list, but they’re in a fortunate position where they have an opportunity to prove themselves worthy of the gig to the end of the season.
Edit to add: if they do get the job longer term, it should be on the condition that they bring in a more experienced coach, to help them.

Sheilds has been very lucky to still be at the club having been a part of our slide over the last few years for previous regimes. Would be strange indeed if he’s suddenly got something to offer the club that he hasn’t already tried in training etc
New man to make the decision but a clear out is required.

The difference in the dugouts on sat was pretty clear to see. Iain Campbell and Rab Douglas constantly giving instructions and well dones to Arbroath players.
In the other dugout Grant was out his seat with negative after negative having a go at anything that moved. Shields wasn't much better.
Not saying ones right or wrong but it was clear to see

Zidane was assistant to some Real managers then got Head Coach of the Real B team then took straight over from Benitez.
Walter Smith took over from Souness after being his assistant.
Bob Paisley took over from Shankly although I doubt you'd say that needed a major turn around.
It's very rare that any supporter will know the contribution a coach has made positive or negative. You can have excellent coaches that are part of bad management teams.

Some guys are excellent coaches but find management a much tougher proposition. We have twice gone through the promote from within route, firstly with John Potter and then with Stevie Crawford. Neither was an unqualified success but Stevie lasted a bit longer than JP and fared rather better.
Both are highly regarded coaches. JP is doing well at Hibs and Stevie will land a coaching job when he's ready to return to the game.

Can't imagine that they will be in charge for long as I don't think the board will take too long over an appointment, given our league position. Whether the new manager wants his own team in or continues with them is another question. Do think that we may get a reaction to PGs departure this Saturday that hopefully will result in our first win.

When Shields came back it was as the youth team coach, not the first team. As we no longer have a youth team he has been working with the first team. As for tomorrow's game let us wait and see.

To me, bombing him out of the squad completely and having 3 strikers and just one extra midfielder on the bench in Dan Pybus was a bit daft.
On form, which I grant he is not yet after long term injury, he`s comfortably better than all of the midfielders on show on Saturday.
If we are going to get pumped off all n sundry then I`d give him the game time to get back to sharpness.

Doesn`t Wilson have some ongoing injury which can`t be treated but can only be managed? Hence why even in previous seasons, he was often missing. I think it`s more likely that he was left out on Saturday because of this, rather than purely on performance.
