    Absolutely. He was a disaster at Rangers. I'm sure he won't be under consideration by our hierarchy.

    The current coach oversaw the two savvy solid wins against the (D)odds so it entirely relevant

    Could just be referring to reports of him approaching us, rather than the other way around.

    Aye it’s incredible how little leaks from the club these days. Wonder if any prospective managers are told leaks won’t be tolerated as could affect the appointment etc.

    I love how professional we are.

    How can anyone think it’s a pigs ear when absolutely nobody has a clue what is going on?

    I fully trust the club these days and thankfully Dodds and the players have done an unbelievable job so far.

    I'm certainly not worried.

    Hopefully that's a good sign. All the internet rumours have died down and the club are getting on with the matter in hand safe in the knowledge the team is in good hands. I'd say this is just about the perfect way to go about recruiting a new HC

    Definitely this.

    We’re doing absolutely fine so far, and there’s no need to rush into anything. Let KS & KLD look at the data and pick the best option for us.

    We’ve gone from sailing the ITK high seas to the doldrums. No waves, no wind.

    To keep the nautical theme going, I think the Will Still cruise ship has left port and we werent allowed on it.

    Harder to replace a premium senior development coach than a manager surely?

    And that’s the only reason I’m against Dodds. What he’s done in the 2 games with changes and setup has been magnificent. I’d be all for him being number 2 alongside his current role.

    These were 2 of the best sides in the league. He read them like a book, set us up right , and his in game changes were brilliantly timed and immaculately executed.

    He has done superbly.

    I’m not saying Dodds should get the job but imagine how we’d be going on about a new gaffer if he’d come in and got the two results Dodds has just gotten, we’d be staying we had a superstar, wait it out and trust those that are paid to make the decision they’ve earned it

    And the manner in which he’s got them. Both been tight games won with tweaks.

    I don’t wanna think about it too much as it’s screaming ‘we have a ****ing genius here’

    I’ll struggle to look past him if similar happens next 2 games. The players love him Jobe absolutely glows about the bloke.
    Anyone know of Dodds has a number 2 he’s been grooming to take over? <laugh>

    Dodds named as manager of the week for the championship…

    Not bad for a temporary position :emoticon-0100-smile

    Absolutely Dodds doing so well just shows how strong the structure of the club is now.
    They will have a list of candidates but it wont be plain sailing (sorry) its a two way thing we cant just get who we want if they have other priorities or their club wont play ball. Let the process play out. Personally I'd be happy for Dodds to continue for as long as it takes us to get the right man. Even if thats the summer.

    Well deserved, the way we were set up against Leeds was very clever of him. A clean sheet against them is some going with their fire power up front.

    Could we hire Tony as development coach to backfill Doddsy’s position?
