Probably a good shout. Good gig for whoever gets it, seem to be doing okay off the park. Feels familiar...:wink:Quote:

Local chat is that the interviews are at Cambusdoon and a certain Lee Johnson has been interviewed as he was seen with Mathie and Davie Smith their relatively new owner at the training Astro.
Surely Johnson was just scouting out venues for zoom lessons.Quote:

Given they train at a different venue that’s possible.Quote:

Had a paper round out of Doonfoot stores as a lad and would do runs around the village, cycling past Burns Cottage on my way back home at the end of the round. Happy days.
We’ve been down here a number of years now. Quite a good few Hibees live here.Quote:

She must be some lady. Lord Provost and washing his soiled breeks all the time.Quote:

That's quite a length of contract.
Michael Appleton sacked by Charlton.
Michael Appleton sacked by charlton. Wasn't he linked with us at one time?
Was interviewed and our preferred candidate over Heckingbottom, but apparently wanted more than four months salary as a payoff, if sacked.Quote:

Best of luck to him, anyone that goes into management is better off starting at a small club, I'm not sure if Ayr only wanted him because of his name though rather than his ability as a manager.Quote:

I'd love to see Brown do really well and get the Celtic job, then see him try and take Whittaker there as his assistant. :greengrin
My gut is telling me that Monty isn't far away from here.
It's sad because he's come with a good pedigree from the other side of the world, with a strong backroom team and seems to have had a positive impact on at least some of the players.
But let's face it, how many people go into a new job, with fixed ideas on how to do it, don't get results, refuse to change and stick around...

Not a sacking but Klopp announces he's leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
Wow just seen this. As a United "fan" growing up, its been hard to watch as the landscape has changed over recent years and the job Klopp has done will ensure he goes down as one of the prem all time greatest managersQuote:
