    That’s not bad! Interesting, and worth a shot. Depends how much his overlord intends to get involved

    Well I know little about the guy in terms of his management career but bloody good luck to the man.

    Will he be getting a wage since he all but stole one 18 years ago;);)

    He held several talks with the owners over the summer so wonder what has changed now for him to take it?

    Maybe now he sees his future here rather than waiting for something else? Maybe he feels he has a squad to work with?

    Learnt his trade at Livingston and did a tremendous job there and overhauled the squad.

    Reading up on him on Wikipedia again, he doesn’t sound too bad.

    Not disappointed is probably a good expression if it’s him, as this stage.

    Consecutive promotions is respectable at any level, fairly happy with his appointment, as above he can’t be any worse.

    To be filed in the better than we had category, hopefully he's a success. Not sure what to make of his ability though as the Scottish lower leagues are a crap standard.

    Got Livingston promoted via automatic and then again with playoffs, and left on his own accord at the end of his contract.
    Not bad.

    If in doubt, appoint a ginger, Scottish ex-midfielder who used to play for the club...

    I know it’s tongue in cheek, but on that, it was a shocking tackle that did for his City career. How we recouped £1.5m I’ll never know!
    Reasonably happy with this, can’t see him taking any crap off Edin (or the players)!
