piffer Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Interesting insight into the man in his interview with Simon Ferry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 He is one of the few managers who has been hopeless for us that I genuinely hope falls on his feet. A decent chap all round. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayD Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Just watched the second part...if you want to see the part about Killie, it starts at 19 mins in. What is evident throughout was a certain hesitancy when given any kind of authority, be it an expectancy of scoring goals, captain, or assistant manager. The same trait that, possibly in hindsight for the board, was evident in his reluctance to state publicly he wanted the job full time. Overall though, he comes over as a decent guy and I hope he does well in whatever he does next, he was just the wrong guy at the wrong time for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudger Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 He comes across as a really decent guy in that interview. Think the Killie job came too soon for him, he could go on to be a good coach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudger Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 The Si Ferry videos are brilliant, Frank McAvennies is tremendous, what a life that guy has led. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldow Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 You can’t knock the guy for honesty, commitment and effort or his respect for the club. Pity same can’t be said for our current best striker! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_dug Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Been watching the Si Ferry vids for a wee while now. The way his face lights up when someone mentions Thomas Gravesen is priceless!!! Cracking stories about him from Mcfadden and Mcgeady. Boyds and scott macdonalds are a bit dull though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted December 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Been enjoying these interviews since they started. I like the laid back approach of them and Ferry comes across well. Its interesting in the first part of the McCulloch one when he’s talking about his move to Rangers. It’s different to the McInnes situation but very similar. When Rangers go after one of their own there seems to be an expectancy said person will put the work in. Rangers bid for McCulloch, it’s rejected, he’s left to throw the toys out of the prom and force the move. So often we’ve seen this happen over the years. That section aside he comes across as an honest, likeable and hardworking guy. I found the hesitation and awkwardness strange. On the park he always seemed confident, a leader and someone who would do anything for the win. His offfield persona is very different. As others have said hopefully he find the right gig for him. Killie as a first job would be difficult but restructuring from top to bottom as well was far too much for him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jam1869 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Interesting that he says a few of the new signings have a problem with the pitch, surely that would have been discussed before signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Good interview but the manspreading is a bit vulgar! Edited December 9, 2017 by skygod 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I found that interesting too. The first concrete quotes from anyone at or previously at the club to suggest it really is an issue. Also found interesting the chat about McCoist having to adapt way he interacts with his team and his own personal transition into the management role and time he was spending on the job. Who's to say if he had been Steve Clarke's number two for three or four years and got some real hands on coaching where he could have ended up. Sounds to me that Locke, Clark and Walter Smith were his only real managerial influences... and Watty he said didn't bother about tactics or shape!! Hard graft and effort will get you so far, but not without a system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJout Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Good interview. Very open about his mistakes at Killie.
