auld reekie saint Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 What about Alan Kernaghan. Did a good job at Clyde although struggled at Dundee. Always thought when he was with us he came across well and struck me as management material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE LARK SAINT Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Who is micheal o neill ?? Shamrock Rovers Manager O'Neill played as a midfielder or forward for Chimney Corner, Coleraine, Newcastle, Dundee United, Hibs, Coventry City, Aberdeen (on loan), Reading (on loan), Wigan, St Johnstone, Portland Timbers, Clydebank, Glentoran and Ayr United. He made two appearances for Coleraine in the UEFA Cup and played three times for Glentoran in both the UEFA Cup and Champions League qualifiers. At international level he played at U21, U23 and B level and played 33 games for Northern Ireland, scoring 7 times, including 2 in a 5-3 win over Austria, where he also hit the post and was desperately unlucky not to get a hat-trick. [edit] Managing career He began management as assistant at Cowdenbeath before becoming manager of Scottish side Brechin City in April 2006. He won the Second Division Manager of the Month award in both December 2007<sup id=cite_ref-1" class="reference">[2]</sup> and October 2008.<sup id=cite_ref-2" class="reference">[3]</sup> [edit] Shamrock Rovers O'Neill was released by Brechin City to join Shamrock Rovers on 13 December 2008.<sup id=cite_ref-3" class="reference">[4]</sup> He was awarded the Irish Soccer Writers Manager of the Month award for July 2009 and eventually guided The Hoops to second place in 2009 League of Ireland.

Radford 72 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Who is micheal o neill ?? Former Northern Ireland international, played for Dundee United and Hibs up here in the nineties and had a spell as a player with us in 2000/01. Has taken Shamrock Rovers in the group stages of the Europa League. Don't want to nail my colours to the mast too soon but both Michael O'Neill and the other man mentioned by templeofsaints, Colin Cameron, are interesting I think.

blueheaven Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Very difficult decision. I didn't vote for any of the above, and at the moment would side towards Nick Dasovic. Thankfully, I don't think there's any danger of Geoff even considering old stagers like Jefferies or Calderwood; he clearly favours appointing young, hungry managers these days and I'd be amazed if that changes this time. I reckon it'll be someone none of us are expecting, as was pretty much the case with both Coyle and McInnes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henryhallsdanceband Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 surely we can attract a relatively successful (in his current pond), young, ambitious manager as we can dangle the opportunity of Europa League football next season in front of him - and that just has to be an attractive selling point for us.

Guest Harry Curran's Love child Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'll bite. Who? Colin Cameron - very impressive CV. Young, hungry, highly regarded and virtually a carbon copy of Del's career but bolster that with over 20 international caps and the fact he is already in management and leading the Blue Brazil at the top of their league. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Cameron_(footballer) Jim McIntyre - Decent CV. Experience in both Scotland and England. Already in management, took Dunfermline up and is also a close friend of Del from their time at Utd. If Del is having some say in who will succeed him, he may well be one of the names given to Geoff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_McIntyre_(footballer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 With respect to Alex Totten, it's clear Brown's three most successful appointments have been Sturrock, Coyle and McInnes. The situation we find ourselves in now is maybe slightly different but you'd have to question why he'd want to move away from that line of thinking. I can see why the temptation might be there to look for more experience with the squad we have and the situation we find ourselves in but this squad won't stick together forever and the new man is going to have to find replacements, so that's where this desire for good contacts in the game comes into play. I think in the long-term, the best appointment for the club is another young, articulate, ambitious manager that is well connected in the game. And it's an easy enough gig to sell when you look at Coyle in the Premier League and McInnes going down to The Championship on a contract for the next three or four years. People should know themselves if the names they are suggesting fit the above criteria. If they don't, I'd probably be surprised if they were a serious contender for the job. John McLelland, John Connoly. Maybe we better not appoint John McGlynn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 To be honest no-one on that list excites me all that much. I'd prefer if we continued the trend of going with some fresh blood than picking someone from the conveyor belt of journeyman managers though. As much as I admire Sheerin I can't see him hanging up his boots early to come back to us, especially given the start Arbroath have made to the season. I'd also hate to see him have a bad time of it and damage his club hero status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jad Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Michael O'Neill ? Fits the bill of young & ambitious. Went to see Shamrock play Spurs & he had them pretty well set up for the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
