Jimmy Thelin

That's him won manager of the month.

He deserves it. Took over a very unpredictable team and changed them into an extremely consistent winning team.
That is not to be underestimated….it’s a fantastic start on his new job.

[InversneckieDob]

This is the high water mark for him. He won't be here in 14 months is my peculiarly specific prediction

I'm inclined to agree re: the timeline but for different reasons.
I reckon he'll have been on the radar of a few teams in England for a while and if he continues to do a decent job here, he could be fielding offers.

I hope we've got add-ons in his contract.😉

Peter Leven has been given permission to speak with St Johnstone.

Can't help but think he would be a big loss for us, as was superb for us last season when he was managing us and from the outside looking in, he appears to have the trust of Jimmy T.

Very much this and think its important to have scottish experience in backroom for wee bit longer yet.
Seemed to be Larne guy who was the rumoured front runner so maybe won't come off. If he does want to be the main man suppose its just a matter of time as his stock is certainly high. Can't begrudge him the opportunity.

But thought we took Warnock in because Leven didnt want to be top man? Was certainly narrative at the time.
Fair enough if hes had a change of mind. Lot for him to weigh up as think they are a bit of a basket case the now.

The current players seem to hold him in high regard. His period in charge and the recent run with him as coach have yielded great results. That may not be coincidental, though he was also involved in the previous set ups.

Robson took him in as a coach and he had a decent reputation when he joined.

I don't think any of us wanted him as interim manager, but I think he won most of us over.

He took a squad of players who were really struggling and turned it around immediately. It was like night and day compared to what happened previously.

The cup semi at Hampden was one of the best games I have ever been at and I don't think we would have come back from behind twice in that game, if Robson or Warnock had been our manager.

Be good if he hung around a bit longer.

Leven's stats as (interim) Boss are impressive! However, not dismissing the cup semi v the green filth, ... nor his first interim job v same stench where he secured an unexpected league point, the bulk of his portfolio is against bottom six sides. Nevertheless, that 4-0 v Hibs, followed by 5-1 v Livi still raise a smile.

Altogether, I reckon he laid down his marker as a very capable Scottish club manager, He has earned my respect and admiration enough to hope he stays on with the famous .... but can understand if he needs to move on in order to move on up ... in which case I wish him nearly all the best. The 'nearly' will be plainly understood

I watched that semi on TV - Hoilett’s contribution too was immense for us in that game, as I recall.

Just looking at the stats there.

Jimmy has won more games than Stephen Glass (9 wins from 29 games), Jim Goodwin (11 from 35), Alex F*ckin' Miller (10 from 38) and just one fewer than Mark McGhee (13 from 53)
