Now Stuart Kennedy is a toff... Reminds me on Captain Beefheart (when Van Vilet was alive) though in appearance
It was his arrogance, he knew everything. He was just a ****. He also made sure everyone knew his favourites. He spoke to them in a friendly buddy type manner but their pet names or first names. Everyone else was spoken to like sh@te and addressed but their second names. He immediately split the dressing room. Canna do that as a manager. He also wouldn't take on the people who came to watch(where my dad steps in).
He did let me play at Balmoor a lot though which was always enjoyable
I found Simmy to be a fantastic manager. He was great for my development, called me either Hotshot or Ace, really built up my confidence that. He correctly streamlined the dressing room so the 1st teamers got the care and attention they needed. He was strong enough in his own opinion to follow his own course and not be swayed by dissenting but well meaning voices.
Never let me play at Balmoor tho, wherever that is...
