I'm shocked, shocked I tell thee!

Seems a lazy journalism article to me but who knows.

The appointment of Agnew alone made me think there was a good chance Robson was at least in the running for having the gig till the end of the season. I knew the name but when I looked into him my first thought was "you could easily be getting a permanent gig down south inside a month if you wanted to with that CV" Robson is on the record as saying he was a coach he got on really well and kept in touch with but I just don't see Agnew taking the job if there wasn't at least the chance of it being permanent. So yeah, I think Robson is absolutely a contender for the job. I'm going nail my colours to the mast here. I think he should be given it till the end of the season, he's had a month with the players and not only are we are seeing improvement but we have resurrected a realistic goal of 3rd place as things stand. To use a metaphor; with budding shoots appearing from the earth this is a terrible time to be rasing the ground for a new crop.

Cosgrove is such a closet sheepshagger. I know a few St j fans who have similar leanings, one said to me they were always grateful to the dons for being able to put utd in their place in the 80s. I'll say this though re the OP. I can completely understand where Cowan was coming from and dreaded the worst when they got that pen.

Outplayed for large parts of that game but I'll take that all day long. Defo looked to cope with utd better when we went to a back 3.

I love that kid so fucking much

In the modern game I would say it's pretty essential to be able to swap wings when you play that kind of role.

It would be used though otherwise you would not be able to come to the conclusion that no-one on it warrants being appointed. Couldn't help but have a wee wry smile at Robsons presser today when he was asked if he wanted to be on the SL. Basically said I've been asked this a thousand times then ducked the question yet again. If you want the questions to stop Bazza give a yes or no answer to a yes or no question.

Just because you put together a shortlist doesn't mean you have to choose one of them either though.

Hmmmm, not convinced of your last paragraph 2bh. I couldn't help but feel burrows was keeping his options open on that score, certainly until the end of the season at least. If they are looking at managers already in employment it would stand to reason some would want to see out their respective campaigns before moving which could Robson some wriggle room. If Robson is given it until the end of the season and does really E.g. He manages to take 3rd place then all bets are off and he's massively in with a shout of the gig on a permanent basis. It would seem to me it will all depend on whether or not there is an outstanding candidate available now. If there is they will get the job. If there's not it seems prudent that it should Robson till the end of the season.

Goodwin confirmed. Massively got the fear for this one now but I'm hoping he will make me feel better by coming out in the press and saying it won't take long to sort the utd defence out.

Oh ffs. Massively got the fear for Saturday if this is true

Yeah I would be perfectly happy with something like that. Steep stands are a must for me.

Fox bring binned and not knowing who will be in the dugout (arguably for both sides 2bf but I would be surprised if it wasn't Robson for us) on Saturday if a bit of a curve ball. I think we should have too much for them though even with our appalling away form. Indeed, an early goal could spell a rout as their confidence looks as shot as ours did against hibs. I'm not going to get my hopes up though, it's just not the season for too much optimism after all, and will predict a solid 2-0. If we can hold livi at arms length like we did on Saturday the demoralised Jute front line shouldn't present any difficulties, indeed I suspect they will set up with the aim of not losing. Obviously if they have a new manager by this point their approach could be different.

Imagine if Goodwin got the gig.....

Main aim from here should still be third imo. Not likely but not unachievable either, especially since hertz have dipped a bit.

Enjoy? No but given where we are coming from I'll take a gutsy win over a very tricky livingston quite happily. We needed a win today and we were probably worth it in the end.

In fairness to Robson he's not been able to play the same defence twice in a row once since he came in. As such given Mcrorie and scales are available it is quite difficult to predict how we will set up. Tough game against a tough opponent but at least we are at home

Oh aye, they got the better part of 20 mill when they sold hickey

Ultimately this is still just paper talk. Given burrows still isn't even in the door yet and colgate is on a sick note we are unlikely to see any movement on a new manager until we are a week into March at the earliest.

Ricardo rodriguez being linked according to the p+j. Bit of a curve ball, Spanish coach who's been managing in Asia for the better part of the last decade. Reasonable pedigree and this is what he did at his last job After successfully having guided Vortis to the first-ever J2 title, it was announced he will join Urawa Red Diamonds for the 2021 season.[19] At the end of his first season he was considered the most valued coach in the JLeague "for the impact on the club and the game changer of Urawa Reds" by recovering the competitive spirit of the team. At the end of the season, the was declared the best coach of the J1 League, and also he won the Emperor's Cup.[20] Weeks later, Ricardo Rodríguez further strengthened his project at the helm of Urawa Red Diamonds by winning the Japanese Super Cup against the JLeague champions, Kawasaki Frontale, and became the first Spanish coach to win the Emperor's Cup and the Japanese Super Cup.[21] At the end of the season 2022, Ricardo Rodríguez decided to call time on his successful tenure at Urawa Red Diamonds to embark on new professional challenges after leading the team to the AFC Champions League final and glory in the Emperor's Cup and the Japanese Super Cup.

Tommy Wright now favourite for Motherwell.

According to the fucking Sun apparently Wilder has now ruled himself. Not even remotely fussed 2bh, if he did come and and performed well he would be gone pretty quickly. Cormack has gone back to the states too so I think it's becoming ever more likely Robson and Agnew have it to the end of the season. I can live with that, they seem safe hands for now.

I don't disagree he's been inconsistent but you could argue that was a squad problem during the previous regime. It will be interesting to see what kind of role he plays for the rest of the season. Now he's signed a new contract with boro we might see mckenzie starting over him perhaps.
