Tony Docherty’s been brought in to provide support to Interim Pete. 

Can’t do any harm. Wonder if he’s going to be part of the new team as well?

I’d doubt it, as the next gaffer will want to take in his own staff which seems to be the norm. I imagine that the club will wait until Blow Up Sheep offers his advice before arriving at a decision.

New head coach announcement expected imminently it says. I'd assume we wouldn't bring in Docherty for only a game or two so does suggest he may be around longer term unless the new head coach won't be starting for a while.

Not a bad move by the club to be fair.

Ah the best Doc min and welcome back

Really pleased at this news.  Got a lot of time for Doc though it does perhaps suggest we might be going with Leven for the rest of the season

Likely, although Lutz did make a thing about a strong Scottish presence throughout the club so you never know. Might also depend on doc’s ambitions as a manager in his own right.

Most of the reporting suggests Doc is here to support Leven until summer when Horneland will take over as permanent manager.

Being brought in to help the Hun settle in his six month loan period IMO.

Welcome back Doc

My advice has already been offered to them a long time ago min. (so keep up eh)
 

Anyway I like Doc and think this is a good shout by the club in the current set up.
Just nae sure if he would come onboard just for a couple of games tho, but time will tell.

Once again, welcome back Tony and ah the best min

Happy about this, albeit defending never seemed to be a strength of Doc’s teams, so not sure we can expect to see huge improvements on that front!

[Kowalski]

Announcement imminent so we bring somebody else in to help the coaching staff? How “imminent” is the announcement?

[TheDonbytheDee]

Rumours going around that the delay is Horneland losing out on £1 million, if he takes another job before summer, due to the terms of his departure from St Ettienne.

I think Leven/Doc until summer should be fine.

Could be a problem when we win the cup.

Weren't the set pieces, under McInnes, Tony Doc's job?

Heard that rumour too and it does seem like 2+2 = 4 2bf

Sticking with Leven till the Summer is typical of our club. A huge part of the problem and yet they expect a happy resolution. Cut the cancer out.
