I wouldn't consider myself a more experienced driver than him. You literally are more experienced because you've been driving longer. That is the definition of experience. He is more experienced than you at driving Formula 1 though. Cleland is more experienced as an Assistant Manager than Davidson, particularly as an assistant manager at St. Johnstone. However, Davidson has had experience at a higher level, and that might mean more. Either way, I would prefer neither of them as the next manager!

Yep, as they have returned to work and that is no different to any industry or line of work. Im not sure why that is relevent to my response around the supposed praise that Raith are getting for furloughing players who were going to be released anyway As i said, the very purpose of the furlough scheme....

Jones must be in with a good chance , (if he has applied.) I'm starting to come round to the idea that Graeme Jones might be a real candidate. Granted he'd have to take a big wage cut from what he's been used to in recent years, but he might consider it worth it for the chance to manage in the top flight, at a club he already has a link to. I also have a feeling Peter Lovenkrands could be a real contender. Then again, I still reckon there's a very good chance Saints will surprise us again and it will be none of the names the bookies and papers have come up with.

TheYellowBox Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) I fully expect Davidson to be the new manager and will be appointed in the first week back at training w/c 22nd June. Wouldn't expect material changes in terms of coaching structure beneath him either Edited June 12, 2020 by TheYellowBox Kilgour and THE LARK SAINT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
