And so it begins again. Farmyard bogs barking at every passing car: it should be Kettlewell, it should be Davidson, it should be Murray, it should be McCabe etc., etc.
Posters on here are keen to criticise when they think the board has not done its homework and due diligence on a managerial appointment, but are happy to throw out names at random.

Even if it goes well with John as interim boss, I`d much rather we were taking our time and trying to avoid a lot of the names people mention. When we`ve gone abroad we had massive success with JC but awful with Stephen Kenny. We`ve also had mixed success with both experienced and inexperienced domestic managers.
Basically, the key is doing some proper analysis (ironic given the owners) and getting the right person.

John McLaughlan isn’t actually the interim boss though.
We don’t have an interim manager it says MacDonald, McLaughlan and Wotherspoon will take training on an interim basis.
This is a massive appointment coming up from the board, hopefully we hear in the next few days so the squad can prepare for Ayr.

I thought Kenny was unlucky, brought in some good talent to the team and had us playing pretty decent. (Especially compared to some of the performances we’ve seen in more recent years) & of course got us to a cup final after one of the hardest runs in every round along the way.

What a bizarre post. So fans are not supposed to give their tuppence worth on who the next manager could be?
What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

Ahoy! - agreed. Bord was at the Falkirk game - probably gave Tidser the Raith game to pull it around. We all saw Tidsers body language once we were 1-0 down on Friday night.
What I find interesting is that Geordie is still at the club which suggests he might be a good coach - does Lanza John hold any clout to say that?
I don`t think we are keeping Geordie because of money

He’ll be away the minute the next manager comes in, it might be John has other commitments so they need another head to take training on occasions given there’s still reserve games on etc.
A lot of folk on here think John is our saviour, we might as well give him the chance. Then hopefully the new guy clears the decks and can build his own team.
IMO they downed tools to get Tidser out, they should also be away this summer.

Kenny got us relegated and almost got us relegated AGAIN. Had some good results but his tenure was awful. Not him solely to blame though. Plenty "injured" players who had no issue propping up the bar in Reilly`s (allegedly).

Been told by a guy on the Kelty staff that Geordie is the good one of the two……not sure how believable it is mind you.

From what I have heard about Geordie, he is well someone who is well-liked by all and meant to be a good coach. If he were to be dismissed, such an action would likely have occurred simultaneously with Tidser`s departure. Geordie has not handed in his resignation, indicating his desire to remain at the club. I anticipate that Kettlewell will be announced in the coming days.

Players downed tools. Their win bonuses were stopped except in the cup and probably only reinstated with a few games to go when surprise surprise, we started performing again in the league.

If by all accounts, Kettlewell has been at our last 3 games, why would he risk signing for a club that could be in the third tier of Scottish football? I suppose he could have a clause in his contract that allows him to leave (without a payout) if we go down.
If we go down we then turn our attention to Ian McAll, Billy Davies or Ian Westwater. Or bring back McPake for a season. Embrace the madness I say.

..................
I`m a recruiter and it`s not uncommon for a client to ask me to look into the market "if they were to let xxx go". My job is then to talk to people to say "if a job for a ----- were to come available at a company who does xyz - would you be interested and what money would it take". Most know the market and understand what company I am talking about although it remains unspoken till the green light.
Rest assured we will have sounded out a handful of people after the run of results and it seems Mr Kettlewell is warming up nicely. One or two others were also probably at games or at very least watching playbacks or live streams ( or being sent them).

The club needs to establish a clear person specification - what’s required to do it. Professional skills, personal skills, a level of appropriate experience. I’ve no idea if that’s been used in the last appointments, I’d be surprised if it wasn’t. Maybe the new owners have a fresh approach and won’t rely on the old Board’s judgement?

The club need to kick a ball up to the back of the Norrie next home game . Whoever catches it gets the job , simples . From what I hear every other Saturday, there`s some real potential up there .
Seriously tho , we need to get it right this time . If he would take it , it would be Murray for me .

On a serious note, if kettlewell has been at the last 3 games that is good news as he’ll have seen the effort and appetite from those on the pitch. If he keeps us up and stays I have faith he’ll clear them all out and that’s defo what this club needs.
