Lennon. A born winner who will have a few contacts to hopefully bring a better quality of player in. He has a good track record managing in Scotland too. Can’t see us going for him though. I’d be shocked if it isn’t Murray, who I’m not overly enthused about.

Lennon, as previously noted by others, he is a natural leader and a winner. Having been out of employment for nearly two years, now presents the ideal opportunity for him to re-enter the fray. I recognise that following his second managerial tenure at Celtic , near the end he struggled with alcohol, as on social media during that period. Nevertheless, for me, if Lennon expresses interest, then securing his signature would signify the direction in which the new owner intends to lead us

Anyone is a gamble indeed, no such thing as a safe pair of hands at any level, even more so where we are.

Lennon for me just because it is different to where we’ve gone before. I’ve always thought of us a soft team, lacking any edge or lack of want to play the dirty side of the game that us fans usually get riled up about when opposition teams do it.

It would be good to ditch this daft ethos the current investors were trying to adopt about fair play and respect.

Lennon I think would bring that edge out, given the experiences he’s had with Celtic both as player and manager. He’ll have contacts as well and experience working with some of the youth prospects we tend to look out for in the youth set up.

It’s also mutually beneficial, and a good gig for him to try and reignite his managerial career, I’m not reading much into his management career abroad, Cyprus & Romania? Working abroad in a market with limited to no knowledge is always incredibly difficult where only a minor few make a success of it.

I wouldn’t be against Ian Murray either, was surprised he got the boot from Raith when he did which for me was undeserved.

If I had to pick between the two, I’d err towards Lennon but Murray probably the more realistic candidate.

On the fence about Murray, miles better than what we’ve just had but filled raith with a load of ex premier league players on thier way down the ladder.

That hasn’t worked out for us in the last few years and leads to expensive mistakes.

Can’t think who else is doing a good job, tidser been steady at Kelty but no management experience at this level and no idea if he’s any contacts in the game to bring in a few gems.

It’s a tough one, given majority of squad is away in the summer I would go with the one with the best profile/connections in the game. Don’t want to end up like airdrie after replacing most of the squad.

After his highly publicised departure from Easter Road, we can be forgiven for thinking Lennon might be a bit of a loose cannon, but there was a theory doing the rounds that he`d got wind of an imminent vacancy at Parkhead and was just making himself available. 😆

Considering a fair amount of ours players are out of contract at the end of this season. One of the most important things is getting a manager in who has experience building a squad. Whether that’s in the Championship or league one we will just need to wait and see. Hopefully the players can self motivate themselves to get out of the mindset and philosophy they have played in for the first half of the season. I hope to see a marked improvement in playing style and fingers crossed it’s not more of the McPake style football we’ve had to endure.

They were talking about Tidser on the TV, smacks of a cheap option and a massive risk- might be a good shout in the future but with only 1 season in management not what we need right now! What we need now is a Jim Jeffries type appointment- loads of experience and able to steady the ship and inject confidence in a short/medium term role

However, I’d prefer an experienced man with a long term future

it is Tidser who is being appointed to the position. This choice is rather uninspiring, considering he has lost more matches than he has won in League One. The individuals responsible for selecting such candidates for our club consistently lets us down. It appears we are merely preparing for a season in League One.

Tidser imo is a good appointment (if true) he has Kelty punching well above what they should be given their current budget which must be one of the lowest in league 1.

May not be a big name but big names don’t mean success in football, they all have to start somewhere.

How much money do you think the club has, we have overpaid past it players, 2 exmanagment to pay, and probably a better than 50/50 chance of being in Division 1 next season, your right can`t believe Pep or Klopp weren`t considered.

Tidser`s appointment, as previously indicated, bears a resemblance to that of Peter Grant. It is a terrible decision on from the the club, reflecting a profound absence of ambition to propel this club forward . Engaging an unproven manager to guide us to safety is concerning. While tonight’s result was good, the club appears to instill hope in its supporters only to subsequently deliver a disheartening blow. I am truly gutted that this represents the club`s future direction, prompting me to question why do I care so much.

There`s no deal for the club over the line and our board are not big hitters, if it`s Tidser it`s because he`s in our ball park through necessity, you could at least try to support him.

Scott Brown signed a new deal start of this season ,so Ayr will have to receive compensation for Brown and Whittiker.
Ayr had a good start, after the interest from St Johnstone the had a bad patch, with some Ayr fans wanting him out .

Cammypar 1995 it`s actually the 64 million dollar question , who is good enough? We need someone who can motivate our team as we saw last night they have the desire to compete, some grit determination and some good moves too last night , but we need someone who can get to the bottom of why week in week out we keep giving cheap goals away ! This is one of the biggest factors in so many of our defeats.
We all know money doesn`t grow on trees and as a club we made the mistake before. With the cheap option in Grant ! Was just hoping we were not going down the same route and repeating the mistakes of the past ! I have nothing against Tidser , If it`s him so be it , on a personal note I was hoping our visions were set higher

The Board (New or old) have to realise that sometimes you have to push the boat out to gain higher rewards! For instance when we signed Hughes we had interviewed Derek McInnes and thought his demands were too high (or so I hear) so he went to Kilmarnock who were also in the Championship - They went on to Europe while we are still struggling (Kettlewell was also in the fray at that time)

I’ve always been of the opinion a manager is THE most important member of the squad and you should get the very best you can even if that means pushing the boat out a bit! I’ve nothing against Tidser if it’s him but it’s time to Speculate to Accumulate.

That saying I’d like to see Scott Calderwood as manager. Plenty of experience and would come in with fresh ideas that those on the Scottish manager merry go round might not have!

Scott Calderwood is managing in the 4th Dutch tier.

Sack that.

But on who though? You`ve not answered the question. We are paying 2 members of staff who are no longer at the club either a lump sum or an agreed wage over x amount of months. we are hardly rolling in the cash to afford anyone higher. So I put the question over again. You`re clearly not having tidser so if not him then who ?

c'mon the pars

If it’s just about filling a role with any one who is cheap, then just keep the guy from last night?

If it’s about finding someone who can motivate, install belief, build some grit, create an identity, drill key game aspects, organise into a system that gets the best from the resources available, understands and counters opposition tactics, and has contracts to get access to good players and is a big enough draw to get them to come - then we may need to find some cash

Lennon would be the perfect choice BUT he still has his demons to contend with and until he can get that under control he is too much of a risk. I’ve been around him a few times in the last few seasons (last one about a month ago) and it’s pretty clear he’s nowhere near conquering them, which is an absolute shame since he’s actually a really nice guy

Tidser`s appointment, as previously indicated, bears a resemblance to that of Peter Grant. It is a terrible decision on from the the club, reflecting a profound absence of ambition to propel this club forward . Engaging an unproven manager to guide us to safety is concerning. While tonight’s result was good, the club appears to instill hope in its supporters only to subsequently deliver a disheartening blow. I am truly gutted that this represents the club`s future direction, prompting me to question why do I care so much.


I am not sure how much can be read into Tidser being at the game. My thoughts are similar in terms of managerial appointments. In some senses were are back to the position we were in when we appointed Yogi and Peter Grant. We were technically second best last night at home but managed to get a point from the game. A new manager needs to lift the squad and improve our level of performances. The club clearly has financially constraints that probably impacted the signings we have been able to make so you cannot level all that on the manager. You cannot sack a manager and them think that it solves all of the clubs woes. That`s too simplistic and unrealistic. Last nights performance showed resilience and determination by the players, but the events of the last few days and the lack of clarity over the new owners must have an impact.

On a separate note, in terms of this league, we need a good Falkirk side and a good Raith Rovers side. If we were all up there challenging at the top, we would be generating the type of crowd numbers that were there last night probably for 60% of our home games.

I thought that the after match interview was very candid, straightforward and honest. He has been put in a difficult position and that came across quite strongly. I just hope this isn`t another knee jerk response to manager change that plagued us with previous appointments

Hopefully tidser was at the game as he fancies taking a few of our players on loan in January!
