    my friend we are on relegation form, bringing in a manager who has success in a division with clubs like brechin city is like bringing in Alan Reynolds who also has promotions with Waterford FC in the republic of Ireland Championship.

    Well as Stefan has 78% of the share holding I would suggest he'll get his man.

    You don't need to tell me how poor the leagues are. I'm more than aware.

    Can't really ask any more out of him than 2 promotions in 2 seasons though can you? Hardly guarantees anything (nothing does I suppose) but it hints at some sort of managerial skills and is worth a further look.

    Hopkin like any other manager is a gamble. But he has shown he can motivate by winning promotion twice no matter what the level.
    If it is him it explains part of the delay because he is probably still in the employ of Livingston till the end of june

    I agree. Hopkin couldn't turn things around after Burchill left Livi and they were relegated. But Hopkin did something to rebuild the squad, change their mindset and improve their fitness levels to such a level that Livi managed back-to-back promotions with him. That takes skills of some kind. I don't know whether or not he would buy into the Rahic approach or whether he would be Rahic's kind of manager but imo it's encouraging that he is still linked with us.

    ok if gaining promotion at the likes of this ground is our benchmark then ok, bring him home. Maybe we can interview mark bower too.

    You struggle with this don't you?

    It's not the benchmark. It's a hint at managerial potential.

    I'm not up to date with Bower's CV but if he's had 2 promotions in his only 2 years in full charge then let's bring him in for a look as well.

    You'd think he has a chip on his shoulder ever since Rahic sacked the former kitman for making racist comments to three of our black players.

    Day 210

    Still floating in the Doldrums, thought I saw a tiger on the boat, must be dreaming! Could just eat some Pi. Did I hear strains of "Those were the days" somewhere out there through all the gloom? Funny though, it was a Scottish voice. Macca perhaps, coming to rescue me........ naw! There's that tiger again.

    I knew we should’ve never trusted Edin to rig the sail just because he said he “knows boats”.

    I never said that our implied that, as you now Stefan is the major share holder so IMO if push comes shove and Edin wants A in and Stefan wants B, Stefan gets his man or are you saying Edin has final say on all matters football.

    Scottish voice - Macca? Not just the eyes playing tricks then, the ears are being deceptive too
