Hartley - Player/Manager

 

I have it on good authority that Paul Hartley will be named player/manager for the rest of the season, when McGhee gets the sack. McGhee will be sacked tomorrow morning if we do not win the match tonight.

 

 

Ok...I don't have it on good authority. I just made that up. But I do think it will happen.

Does he have the relevant badges yet? I dont think he has completed them yet.

Ah bollocks. Good point Mizer - I have no idea if he has the relevant badges or not. I guess he doesn't?

 

Worst thread for a long time.

I read in a recent interview that he was currently doing them. To be honest, as long as he is going through the process, I think he would probably get dispensation to manage us.

Worst thread for a long time.

 

Why so?

The cheap, spineless option from the directors?

 

Yep. It'll happen.

Think that'd be a terrible move.

 

we've been crying out for a real captain for years, now we have one why compromise that position? Let him get on with his job which, up until Saturday, he has been doing very well.  It would be too much for him, it would be too much for anyone. There are so few player manager's these days compared to 20/25 years ago. There's a very good reason for that.

Think Hartley has the potential to make a very good manager BUT this is not a job for a rookie manager in my opinion.

Fair enough if you appoint a father figure then Hartley could become player/assistant manager

Too soon. He'll make a very good manager, but this is not the time or place to try it. I love having him as captain and want that to remain.

My sauce told me an Alex Miller/Roy Aitken dream team will be unveiled tonight with Stewart Milne being registered as an emergency fullback, Willie Miller to take full financial control of the club and Stuart Baxter as director of football.

 

With Steve Paterson as Director of Corporate Entertainment

As said, too good a captain and influence in the pitch to potentially dilute that. No saying he won't be a good manager but he should enjoy playing a good bit yet and yes, it would be a thoroughly cheap maneouvre by the board, so it's eminently possible.

 

Once more it could transpire hat the board with nae cash finds half a mill or so to chin a manager but not to back him. Fucking surreal stuff.

 

No more cash from me.

Fuck yeah, I have a meal/event at Pittodrie on Friday, get him in asap. He's nae doing much at Huntly anyway

Jocky Scott with Hartley as Assistant/Player?

And Ronald McDonald as food and beverages co-ordinator

Don't think we want Hartley being anything other than the on field leader.

 

And Ronald McDonald as food and beverages co-ordinator

 

That would improve the catering!

Too soon. Would much rather have him concentrating on the field for the impending relegation battle.

That would be the worst idea ever!
