mad saints fan Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Does this forum still give you the option to block posts from specific users? could definitely use it right about now My first thoughts were for Hartley, but if Tommy doesn't follow Lomas then I'd be very very happy with him and would feel more confident of possibly progressing in the Europa League. If it's someone entirely new to the club then realistically I can't see him being anywhere near ready to take on European opponents, it's too big an ask for the squad to adapt and play a new style effectively against quality opposition in such a short space of time. Will be interesting to see what comes out of the press over the next week or so, you just never know with our club.

Barty1884 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Doing a bit of digging (admittedly via Wikipedia) taking a look at coaches at clubs in England who have a bit of managerial experience (youth teams, non-league teams etc) and surprised to find there are very few. A lot of ex-players you would assume have contacts, but only coaching, not handling their own team. The most interesting ones I found however were Richard Naylor & Robbie Stockdale. Naylor is 36, played a fairly decent level throughout his career. Small element of management experience with Leeds U18's, managing them to their U18 Champion win in 2012 and has worked with the senior set-up in a care-taker assistant manager role previously. Stockdale is 33, again played at a decent level. Gained 5 Scotland caps under Berti. Youth coach at Grimbsy for 2 years, caretaker for 4 games (won 2, drew 1, lost 1) and has been youth coach with Sunderland for 9/10 months. Both completely random options, but fit a similar mold to the Lomas option, who knows, might be worth pursuing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Another thread being spoiled, and forum rules broken. Anyway, Tommy Wright for me. Interested to know who the other applicants are mind you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Wallace Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'm not convinced by Cleland, but that's largely down to a petty prejudice I have over the curly pubes he has atop his napper. I'd be more than happy with big Tommy. I get the feeling he doesn't take any shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think it'll be him appointed in the next few days. I'd prefer a new face but will support him and be happy. ex-montrosesaintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenrothes saintee Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Tommy with possibly Callum assisting would give as continuity, so I will will give it the thumbs up if that is SB's choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaraGed Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Heard a rumour today that Allan Moore is a strong contender for the job, and that he may have already been interviewed!

Dont know the validity of this though, just putting it out there. Might well be an interesting appointmentNot too sure what the percentage is of ex-saints players doing well at the Club has been as manager -Would rather someone outwith with new ideas and a strong relationship with other clubs..BUT thats down to the board and I am sure some will say thats Good -Some say thats Bad and some will just wait and see how he has done by Christmas.

Fatmanscoop Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 No danger.

One Goran Stanic Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I think we would be mad not to consider other applications. I'm not saying the job has to go somebody not already at the club, but there could be some very decent applicants or some folk who would be approachable that are better than what we have.

ex-montrosesaintee Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I would be very surprised if Tommy Wright turned down the Millwall assistant job if he didn't think he would be the next manager at Saints. If he doubted it he would be facing a year of working as an assistant for an unknown boss, who would potentially want to bring his own assistant. After the year, he could be out of a job without significant prospects of something better. Personally I think he will do a great job, and it is a much greater opportunity for him to make a name for himself than it was for Lomas, as he is stepping up from an assistant role to the top job - lots of assistant managers spend their whole career as an assistant, and never get the chance to step up. Credit to him for having the desire to do so at opportunity number 1. (I know he has managed in Ireland, but without disrespect intended, that doesn't exactly put you on the SPL/championship/premiership radar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the year, he could be out of a job without significant prospects of something better. -- That's my feeling too. If Saints were going to go for an external appointment, it's likely that the new man would want to bring his own assistant - which could leave Wright in the cold. So if he's turning down a presumably well-paid position with a Championship club, he must have had pretty strong assurances that there's going to be a key role for him at Saints.
