Hasn’t he turned us down in the past? Few years ago mind and no problem if things weren’t right (was he at Aberdeen or am I making that up?).

Name rings a bell that’s all

He was at Aberdeen, and did well with no budget, nowt for 5 years, fits our set up that.
He turned us down, why because Ellis sent Ally the piss head and his side kick Walter Smith to interview him at Edinburgh airport both were pissed when he met them.
Total lack of respect for our club and him. That's why he said no.

he turned us down when we appointed Jack Ross, no?

edit - I’m wrong - it was when we appointed Grayson

I reckon they have just gone back to the original list from when Alex Neil was appointed as he obviously wasn’t first choice.

Manning gets the nod from me but can see why we would be looking at Derek Mcinnes again.

We’d be mad to appoint Mowbray like. Proper lack of ambition but that’s to be expected the way the club is currently ran…

Think you are totally wrong KLD and Speakman have steadied the ship and recruited a very competent recruitment team and we now have a structure in place that we have lacked for years . I am of the opinion that most SAFC fans are delighted with the progress we have made after years of apathy and neglect , I think that was shown on Saturday by the fans level of support , the players rather than having a hangover played with pride and passion and should have beaten the best team in the championship and would have if we had carried any luck in front of goal .

Alright fella. Yeah, all seems to be Mowbray still. Was at the AOL (had this confirmed just after Bob and messaged a few on here and Twitter) and our game early Saturday. No idea why he would be at the AOL if it wasn't for serious talks, if it was just the game then maybe not. He is also out of work, so no compo needed and wouldn't command a big wage. Good mates with Stuart Harvey so should be zero conflict on recruitment targets.

I personally hope not but heard nowt to suggest it won't be him. Would rather Manning and try to really show a greater level of innovation and someone who may have the potential of rise upwards. Just dont see it with Manning's backroom staff, which is significant and the compo that would have to be paid.

Surely if it was still Mowbray though it would’ve been ready to go last night following Neil’s confirmed departure?

Fwiw I still think it’ll be him, but I think the gun has been jumped on Mowbray.

Like you, hoping it’s Manning but it’s a slim chance

Whoever it is I hope they don’t rip up the playing style and start again. Seems to really suit this group. Yes we need to strengthen before the end of the window but it doesn’t need a major overhaul IMO

The DOF model is built for this, they get a head coach that fits the model so when the time comes for a change, there’s no real overhaul like we’ve had in the past.

Happy to trust them on this. I think our last 2 managerial appointments have been right. As much as it didn't work out with Johnson, his style of play dragged us out of the turgid Parkinson era and we were an attacking team that could play nice football at times. Alex Neil then took us on another level.

If theres only 3 candidates (Mowbray, Manning and Barry) and we interview them all, I'll be fine with whichever we choose. I get the feeling that Manning and Barry could be mentioned every time we appoint a manager in the next several years unless they surpass us.
