He didn't need to be on any shortlist. He was offered the job.

Has that been reported anywhere

3 Premiership roles? Not interested?

There are 12 teams in the SPFL Premiership.

He wouldn't get near the uglies jobs, he got booted from one of the next group containing the three next best jobs, wasn't quoted for another one, and is apparently personna non grata at the pink bus shelter, even with Neilson on the ropes. The next group of wannabes he's not being quoted on the two that were/are uo for grabs.

He's unlikely ever to get a top league gig in Scotland again, especially if he's briefing out no -interest in the less glamorous jobs.Nelson on the ropes?

After discussions they made an offer.

He's been ruled out of 75% of the jobs in the Premiership then and thinks St. Johstone, Ross County, Livvy and Dundee United are the creme de la creme worth waiting for?

Scottish football at the top level has passed him by, either by design or his lack of ambition

I'm not a JR fan but he must feel a bit miffed and maybe he's happy taking some time away. The next vacancy will be there in a few months anyway.

Seen that Naismith has pulled out of the running, not sure about Brown. Rumoured to be paying a fee for him from Morecambe as well.

I quite liked him at Motherwell but remember him turning into a bit of a busted flush at the end.

It will.

At this rate half the jobs in the Premiership will be up for grabs next season anyhow so opportunity will come knocking.

He was on a decent contract with us so I imagine the money will be fine. Probably costing us more but from his point of view why not do a bit of punditry work and recharge the batteries?

Weird that yin. Rae is a tosser and Ince isn't the nicest of people. His laddie plays for Reading also so it looks like they've appointed him on the basis he goes to games watches his son and got in there with the owners.

Sure they won last night - his boy scored the winner.

He seems to be questioning himself and own ability. He came in with a want away captain, Dele Ali who was way out the picture and an average squad. Spurs are a bit like United, both been left behind by Chelsea, Citeh and Liverpool.

Bielsa was hugely popular at Leeds, but he never seemed to learn from hammerings. No team can keep conceding so many goals; he should have been more flexible, making the game tighter against the better teams in the league. Leeds are always good to watch, but often it's for the wrong reasons: them conceding a stack of goals.

Plays high press man for man marking, it'll work against some teams but not the very good ones with better players, he has no plan B system and when important players get injured, the team has struggled.

Elite level football is kinda all about this these days. It’s a compliment to Bielsa in a way because he’s been a very influential coach. But when most top level teams adopt the same hard-running, high line approach, he goes even more so, to an almost ridiculous degree.

Taken 1 point from 15 since taking over - a 0-0 draw with Blackburn Rovers, 8 goals conceded and 1 scored. WBA were 6th in the league and now they're down to 13th. It will take a miracle for them to even reach the play offs. A tricky away game at Hull this Saturday as well.

So what, three sackings from 12 club jobs?

Anyway, splitting hairs here - he wasn't having a great time of it there, and he obviously wanted to stay, so a sacking to all intents and purposes. Definitely suffered from the club being bought after he'd been appointed, but he didn't have a great record for the short time he was there.

All besides the point anyway - he most definitely has not been sacked from every job he's had - or anywhere close to that.

Blackburn and Everton sacked him, not Newcastle. FA stated that they didn't sack him - even though they said his position was untenable - though he obviously didn't go for football reasons.

So what, three sackings from 12 club jobs?

Bloody awful mistake by Blackburn. Probably one of the worst sackings ever.

I'm sure Hibs had a few 'mutual consents' that were really sackings - Hughes and Mixu? Allows the manager to save face a bit.

The Strachan situation is sackable. He overlooked good candidates, one being a Dundee fan and proven SPL manager in Jack Ross for his old mate that has never done a good job as a coach.

You'd think it was a one off jobs for boys situation, but he's going and employing his son in his first ever manager job. That's not even excusable at this point, it's the age-old jobs for boys mentality that's ruined our game for year's.

Good move for Ian Murray

Has done a very solid job at Airdrie and cut his teeth over a decent period of time.

Raith a step up, with higher expectations.

If he was to do well there, promotion & cup runs etc, then that's when you could see him being more justifiably in the frame for a Top 6 Prem job (Dundee Utd, Aberdeen, maybe even ourselves in the fulness of time)

He's not there yet, but Raith looks a good step up after a solid grounding at Airdrie.

Ross would probably be the obvious choice as he’s won that league before, what a downgrade that would be though from Sunderland to Dundee in the Scottish Championship.

Strachan and Maloney are close so that could also be a good possibility.

Regardless of the amount of Hibs supporters who didn’t like his style of play, Ross’ record at Hibs certainly deserves better than having to drop down to the Scottish Championship.

That said, McInnes chose to do it. I was also surprised when Lennon could only land the Bolton job after Celtic - and was then surprised and delighted when he came to us in the Championship.

Will depend on how much he wants to work again obviously, but Dundee don’t look a very appealing prospect on paper at the moment - nothing like Killie were to McInnes in January.

Find it hard to imagine them bouncing back up next season.

Does Jack Ross not bizarrely support Dundee?

Something about his neighbours supporting them so he used to travel through from Camelon (?) to go to games with them and he became a fan.

Aye I'm sure that's right about JR.

Be interesting to see who they end up going for. JR would be the clear favourite but as said previously Strachan and Maloney will be close.

Its funny, I still think of Dundee as being quite a big club, a club that should be in the mix for a top 6 finish. Its been quite a while though since they've been premier league regulars and historically they have won half as many major trophies as we have (and I consider Hibs to be under achievers).
While Ross is the better more experienced manager, they might see Maloney as bigger box office. I would have thought a club like Dundee (Championship or not) might attract a McKay or a Martindale, managers of smaller clubs who have significantly out performed Dundee in recent years.

I see Dundee as being a fairly big club.

They've had a habit of having dreadful managers and I could see Ross being a success there. At the very least I could see him getting them up and then very much consolidating their position as a Premier League club (which they haven't really done for some time).

The Championship though is quite a tight league and if they appointed Maloney then stranger things have happened than for them to end up relegated again...

Maloney and Ross the two remaining candidates for the Dundee job according to Scott Burns.

Maloney it is then.

And a nice wee tribute from Airdrie too


https://www.airdriefc.com/2122-news/220524/ian’s-era-comes-to-an-end

I think there's something in that which might define Ian Murray as a manager. He seems to be very good at making smaller clubs more professional and this gets an increase in performance at that those clubs (Dumbarton, Airdrie). He then struggled when he went to a bigger club which has that infrastructure in place (St Mirren). Hopefully, he'll have learnt from his St Mirren experience though. Raith is probably a good halfway house between the likes of Dumbarton/Airdrie and a bigger club.

Like it, a classy touch (not something that's always associated with the diamonds)

Wish Ian Murray well in his new gig at Raith

Strange that Barry Ferguson and now Thomson have decided that Kelty isn't for them after winning promotion. A lot of money being puped into them. Decent bonus and leave with their reputation high maybe? Not really worked out for Ferguson.

No idea if he`s interested in being Scotland manager in the future but he certainly has a lot of international experience . Whatever happens , I wish him well and suspect other clubs will benefit from what he learned while with us .

The answer to “why not” is because although a good coach he’s a hideously incompetent manager.

Comparing Maloney and Butcher is like deciding between Sky and Virgin broadband. Both are utterly hopeless.
