Bruno Strasser Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Looks to be a good appointment I certainly can't think of any one better. He certainly has a tough act to follow. Welcome back. dunkeldneil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very difficult to see how he can justify increasing the coaching /backroom staff when the likelihood is there will be no reserve team football.

Kyle Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Davidson will have had leverage in the contract negotiation. No doubt it's been agreed he'll get to add players if he is to take on the job. We look light on numbers in midfield so I suspect that's where the new bodies will be added.

templeofsaints Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Good choice IMHO - keeps the stability at the club with someone most of the players will already know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said in interview he is looking for two. Must have been keeping an eye on this website or he has known since January he was getting the job. Not sure about Macca. Could vo either way. Was expecting Cleland to be assistant. Thought Macca may have kept boots for back up. Edited June 18, 2020 by Cagey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Macca may have kept boots for back up. The Macca one is a strange one, yeah would love the guy back, but past it as a player at this level and how much coaching has he done,maybe about the same as Liam but at hearts youths, just using the head rather than the heart here feel Liam would offer more in playing front, can't compare coaching as dont know enough about either of them in that role, just with money tight and squad numbers low feel craig would be better value in the assistant role to support Cleland, but happy if either giving the chance!

SlickDT Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 As good a choice as any. He knows the club, the players, the board and the league. He will have contacts down south and I’m sure there will be younger lads he could bring up on loan. He may also have a few players in mind from his time at Dunfermline who could make the step up. I actually think next season could be a very good season for us. Our squad is balanced and only needs tweaked with a couple additions, rivals are requiring players to take pay cuts which is bound to harm motivation, Fan base size will not be an issue at the start of the season I think the real test of Callum’s time here will be when he has to rebuild the squad. McCann is easily going to take the step up. I’d expect Jason and Callum is also get attention from down south if they continue to improve. Craig and Murray won’t last forever either. That’s a huge amount of talent to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linky Posted June 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) I agree that next season could be very good for us, we're not in as bad a position as other teams in regards to having a settled squad, but also one that will want to prove their place to the new manager. I wonder if we'll have some signings coming from England with Davidson's contacts? Of course, that depends on whether he's allowed to make any signings at all Edited June 18, 2020 by Linky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
