KT Joins Hearts (Kelty)

***Frazerbob*** · 27-05-2021 09:50 PM

Kevin Thomson is Kelty Hearts new manager.

***Jim44*** · 27-05-2021 10:35 PM

I heard a rumour they were after him. I wonder what sort of money he will be on. Would it be more than he was getting from Rangers?

Aye, kelty chuck cash about like confetti. Watch them spend to get up the leagues

**SMAXXA** · 27-05-2021 11:44 PM

Yeah and expect Tam Courts to be the new UTD manager

I think KT will be a very good manager and sure we will watch closely.

Seems to be getting a lot of praise from people within the game.

Not fair to label everyone of that mould as another Cathro but without knowing the guy that would be my fear if I was a Dundee Utd fan.

Brave appointment though, good to see new people getting the chance.

Still a big step down from being Hibs kitman to Dundee Utd. manager.

Can't be that much though. Why would Ferguson go to Alloa if it wasn't for more money. Certainly wouldn't be going to take a wage cut.

Maybe jumping a few rungs of the ladder?

You're basing that claim on what exactly?

Got a pal who was playing in the same league as them the past few years for another team.

You aren’t affording players like Kallum Higginbotham, Dylan Easton, Nathan Austin etc at that level if you aren’t chucking money at them.

Hopefully a better manager than radio pundit.

Dundee United fans aren't happy. Especially with the Director of Football's son getting a first team coaching role.

I know a Kelty coach, and Barry Ferguson was putting his own money in to sign players. They will have been spending a comparative fortune.

Bit of luck he transferred all his assets to his wife before Hector caught up with him.

**Heckys Wheel** · 29-05-2021 08:33 AM

Good luck to the guy. Follow him on Twitter and he’s obviously passionate about coaching. Could be a good move for him if Kelty are ambitious to climb the leagues.

Seems that the Lowland league are refusing to take Brechin City following their relegation. I wonder if this will impact Kelty’s promotion?

Think Brechin wanted to go into Lowland league, rather than Highland league
Should have no bearing on Kelty gaining promotion

I guess this is down to geography. In England we have Gloucester City playing in the Conference North for instance, there's no way you could consider Gloucester North but with regionally split leagues these anomolies occur.

You can understand Lowland teams not relishing a trip up to Brechin based on cost etc.

Just made jordon Forster his first signing KT,no bad start.

Happy with the route up the way for their member clubs but not happy to take the team coming down. It is a bit amateurish.

I've hardly followed the story, but I'd imagine it's to avoid setting a precedent of clubs choosing their league.

Is it THAT bad an extra cost - a bit more fuel required to get to a couple of games per season per team? Then a wee bit longer on the bus / in the car.

Well I think if you had a blank sheet and were planning a Lowland league and a Highland league you wouldnt put Brechin in the Lowland League would you?

I think I read that it was because most of their players already had to travel North to Brechin and the distances involved for some matches in the Highlands were pretty much out of the question for part time players. They've spent years playing most of their games in the lowland league area.
