If we had someone signed up we would have appointed them by now. The club are desperate for some good news. 

 

Only thing I could think of is that the person they want needs a visa/work permit so we are holding off the announcement until then but then surely the media would be running with a name?

You'd have thought there would be some leaks. 

Maybe they want to announce a technical director and a manager at the same time?  Would be too sensible though.

If either had been sewn up we would have heard something

This is what makes me think it'll be a foreign manager, much easier to keep that quiet than if it was one of the usual names from here.

Just get the feeling it's Leven till end of season now, but a potential announcement of a new man for next season next week.

Let's face it, Dave is completely hopeless. 

It will be a miracle if its someone inspiring.  90% of managers are complete chancers and the other 10% are unlikely to want to be associated with him.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that they aren’t even going to start looking for a TD until the manager is sorted.

[Dandys1983]

Im still sticking with what i was told by 2 people id class as ITK that its a non uk manager.

Unsurprising 

[Big Hat Logan]

Why are people so sure any manager with half a brain would want this job? Apart from the Cormack issue it’s hardly an exciting prospect

I'm not saying anything's happening, thats just my opinion that leven might get the job, but i still believe in what i was told it will be a non uk based manager,   oh ands I'm not Daisy either thats an insult

Agreed. Press are useless enough in this country as it is. No chance they’ll have any decent sources overseas if it’s a man from Europe.

That’s the hope I’m clinging to. That said, it’ll be some Austrian second division manager with 3 months experience as interim.

Absolutely no chance it’ll be Leven

We can probably pay pretty good wages in comparison to most clubs.

Surely from next season it’s a exciting project, but for the next few months it’s definitely not

To most clubs?, where?, here, cause mostly every other nation would blow us out the water with wages, fucking Plymouth would offer bigger wages than us for fucks sake.

[Kincardine_Mearns_Red]

Be the most Cormack thing ever to appoint Ferguson jnr. Showbiz Dave strikes again ffs.

Till end of season that I said before, I just think we are waiting on something, and I trust the people that said there will be a foreign manager.

But surely media local to them would have picked it up, no? I don't think we've been doing much of anything since the "review" ended.

More than us, just like they could pay arnison more when he left. Do you honestly think we can pay more than MOST CLUBS like was said?.

bullshit, wee parochial backwater shitehole we have become. End of.

Any journo worth his salt should be able to sniff out a story, even if it is a foreign based manager. And not have any qualms about printing it. Makes me think there is nothing to report. It’s all supposition.

Exactly, I don't believe we are, or ever have been close to making an appointment. Would not be the first time the FMB have lied to us, and certainly won't be the last.

Eh ?  I never said they were a recruitment team.  I said they would have been involved in the process.  They may have created a profile for the role based on a number of factors then the FMB will try to identify managers who would fit.  

No that's right, I said they were not a recruitment team.

In response to you saying you "Would like to see the criteria the German  consultants used to get Darren Ferguson  as the answer". Which I think would imply they were recruitment consultants.
