Tommy Wright has gotta be high on the list...or Dougie Imrie?
My mole tells me that Jack Ross has turned doon the gig more times than Robert Lewandowski has scored for Bayern Munich.Mind you my mole does not always get it right because he once told me that he was about to embark on a new career path as a driver on The Dundee City Monorail.
😄😄 on that very subject I had a long chat with my Jambo mate today and he was staggered to hear that the Fun don't own their stadium. I brought him up to date on the gory Admin 2 details, John Bennett etc and tbf he was in stitches when I told him Nelms has promised the new stadium for 2024. His immediate reaction was that means they're away.
Be serious 😎 well maybe you are being serious. Tommy Wright will turn up somewhere but Dens unlikely. They don't know how to do the basics like advertise a role and select the best candidate.
The Wee fat tramp gardener from At Home with the McCanns is on the bookies list though. Done a decent job at Cove by all accounts.
Which reminds me, when the Old Rangers were handing out EBT's like confetti (aye you McCann) they'd signed a player from England and he was due to make his debut away at St Johnston.
Night before the game he tells the manager he'll drive himself to the match. 1.30pm the next day no sign of said player so one of the Hun staff calls the player. Player says "Sorry about this but I think I'm lost"
Where are you then?
"In Johnstone but they say St Johnstone don't play here"
Johnstone in Renfrewshire?
"I think so"
Boss, we need to change the team sheet.
I honestly think it is quite an attractive post....surely the championship is looking like it is one that should be relatively easy to get bounced straight back up? (I know that we struggled but next season looks achievable even for them) I manager could easily look at it like a quick opportunity to get themselves back in the shop window and get their career back up and running? It is potentially a good wee stepping stone for someone that has been struggling to get back into management. If Strachan is choosing then I would take a guess at an ex colleague that is needing a favour. Neil Lennon with Gordy's boy as assistant...with Gordy's boy taking over once Lennon moves or gets sacked..... orJocky Scott !
With the appointment of WGS as DOF i think a lot of the usual suspects will not be considered as they would not be willing to work under him ie your Tommy Wright or Neil Lennon type managers.The Dees are i think adopting a model closer to ours which is likely to mean a young head coach like Kevin Thomson or Darren O'Dea.
Its not likely to be WG son though he is currently a first team coach with Celtic and the Dees have distanced themselves from him apparently.
