    As much as I move the job Dodds has done the last two games I hope it’s not him full time like, although I cannot see it being Still

    Like I said a few hours ago...it will be MD. I just think if it doesn't happen quick with WS it isn't going to happen.

    Be very disappointed if it is like. Would be poor from KLD if so but hey ho they can’t get everything right.

    Very smart by Still there, leaves all doors open without burning any bridges with either side, have a feeling tomorrow will be a big day with this one

    Still’s answer there is very vague doesn’t really say much. He could quite have easily said “I’m not going anywhere”, but he didn’t. Wouldn’t read those words and automatically think that it’s off tbh

    My guess would be that either we will get Still, or won’t.

    Don’t quote me on that though.

    If it isn't to be still then hopefully another candidate emerges who we feel is right for the job.

    No

    A genuine contender who they claim to have been monitoring via their database.

    Not the first team coach who has magically gotten himself into the running cos he's got two good results.

    If he'd lost those games no one would've wanted him. Knee jerk and fickle.

    I meant someone who the club have had data and analysis on.

    I'm sure they have lots of information on him, his tatical adaptation, formations, style etc when he's never been a head coach before.

    On the contrary he may be our Kieron Mckenna.

    Just wondering @Scout73 if you know, how do they scout coaches using data? So for example Sable who hasn’t been a manager, is it xG and the same type of data used for teams but attributed to a coach ? I’m guessing there is something more nuanced. Could Dodds for example score well ?

    No idea if Dodds is actually in the running or not but to be fair he has smashed it in both of the games he's been in charge of. If you've been paying attention there's been a lot to be impressed by.

    It's not just the results it's how he's got them that has raised eyebrows.

    FWIW A lot of cash has gone on Mick Beale in the last hour. Odds shortened massively to 6/1
