Wayneo Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 the only way to get rid of Jimmy's is if someeone come sin for him in the summer and we get compo, and for replacement i'd love it to be Mark McGhee the legend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Mambo Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Although i would agree that jim jeffries has done a good job and at least understands the word 'tactics' I just don't think people would warm to him up here. I heard the kilmarnock faithful are not that keen on him either even when he's constantly made kilmarnock punch above their weight and brought a few pennies in as well with the selling of naismith etc. He's only struggling this year because he can't replace what he's sold. At the end of the day you just have to look at the likes of levien and mcGhee who have done wonders with their limited squads. Just all comes down to hard work on the training ground and players who have a clear understanding of what they have to do on the pitch at matchday. AFC are shambolic at times with players even failing to do the simpliest of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackLapirasTache Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 JJ Would not do any worse than Calderwood and Killies form is down to a massive injury list and the loss of Naismith. Hughes Not sure about him but after we have tried a retarded fat hun why not a retarded fat tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON 71 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hughes Not sure about him but after we have tried a retarded fat hun why not a retarded fat tim Have we not already done that ? What about Roy Aitken !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capitalsharpie Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Dear god, not jeffries, his brand of fitba is appalling. i do think its too early to be thinking about giving the tango man his jotters. It is obvious that the players he has brought in in the January transfer window (peep hole in our case, so small were the possibilities out there) are there as stop gaps. I reckon Caldo will do a bit of wheeling and dealing in the close season and (hopefully) shift out some dead wood. In other words a rebuilding job, based around Diamond as a key player.

BringBackLapirasTache Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 What about Paul Ince? Cant get a big club in England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitalsharpie Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 I dont think he is even aware we exist. Something tells me that it would end up like the Barnes debacle the the tims endured a few seasons back. someone with no experiance of the ess pee ell would spell disaster.

tlg1903 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Calderwood is never going to get sacked after just getting a new contract, not unless we suddenly end up in the relegation dogfight which i feel is unlikely. If i was to choose a new manager though i would want either mcghee or eric black. I think the past few games have shown that basically we have bitten of more than we can chew. The cis cup accompanied by the euro run, league games and getting to the quarters of the scottish cup have been simply too much for our very small squad to handle. Given our upcoming run of games i cant see this improving until we are out of europe and lets face it out of the scottish cup too. After that i think our league form will improve but the real question is wether or not 3rd place will still be achievable. Recent weeks have hurt a lot, im glad im nearer the cape horn than the northern lights at the moment, but i still view this as a succesfull season as we have taken in good money from our euro run and have competed in the cups. Hampden would have been nice but if we keep on progressing maybe next year we might get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackLapirasTache Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Aye but if we dont go for someone outside the league who would we look to go for. I dont think we can try to poach any of the (slightly) succesfull managers and we have seen the danger of appointing first division managers. When you look at out of work managers there isnt much quality there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitalsharpie Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Agreed, the squad does not hve the depth to cope with the amount of fixtures that all of these competions create. God knows, the old firm are continually restocking thier supply for that ery reason. However we MUST make sure that we have some form of success or imrovement this season, so third place and a cup final would show that. This will only happen once we get turfed out of europe.

I think the board may be forced to sack him if the crowds continue to decline, 14 thousand for a OF game and 6 thousand against hamilton will have them thinking. Look at hearts crowd against gretna compared to ours against celtic something is very wrong. There is little or no entertainment to be had in watching Calderwoods teams and once the board realise that a top 6 finish wont cut it.

capitalsharpie Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Do you honestly think that the board will hold thier hands up and say they were wrong about him after giving him and his cronies shiney new three year deals? more likely they will spout more crap in the press about how the poor attendances are the fans own fault and we should get behind the team more etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackLapirasTache Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 The club cannot continue to watch its fan base vanish, 3 years for the managment team will probably cost 500K but I think old ronseal woodstain will try for england in the summer again and we will let him.

capitalsharpie Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Im not a big doubter of our managers. Im willing to give them a fair crack of the whip, but for most of this season I have been wondering what the HELL they are coaching in between games. So if thats the case then :wave: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie's ace! Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 If sacking Jimmy would add thousands onto our attendances then there's something extremely wrong with the mentality of people in the north east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
