Bringing in someone new would be a risk with their own ideas and what if the players don't like him again? His transfer targets don't go down well with JF. AD gets my support. What if the players dont like him ? What happens at every other football club on the planet when they get a new manager ? Footballers are pros. They see off numerous managers intheir careers. That is the single worst excuse for promoting an Assistant to Manager. Unfortunately I think it might have more than a grain of truth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosskfc70 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Alex Dyer likeable guy but not managerial material for me , been down this road before with Lee McCulloch ,he was No2 the players all liked him as well but proved to be totally out his depth as a manager, I'm afraid Dyer showed nothing in the 3 games in charge to suggest he can improve things, look at Hearts with Austin McPhee, he was given a few games in charge ,no signs of improvement so was never considered for top job, just reinforces my opinion that Billy Bowie and Board have no idea how to run a football club. This 150th year is increasingly looking like one to forget. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we dont, cheap lazy appointment with no substance, have you seen the last 3 games, clueless.

This 150th year is increasingly looking like one to forget. And they've brought in a new manager who has overseen even poorer results. Any appointment is a risk. Hearts are hardly a model of doing the right thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His interview with Fowler and the one yesterday were the opposite of the type of body language and rhetoric I'd want to see from a manager. Lets hope he proves us all wrong but there is absolutely no credible evidence to suggest that to date. 1 win in 8 and we sack AA as manager. We place his Assistant who must take a share of responsibility for these results in charge. He loses 3 out of 3. No new manager bounce. No sign of the players playing for the new manager now the old one has gone. And nothing at all in terms of obvious tactics, selections or leadership from Dyer to suggest he is the man to provide the leadership we are now crying out for. If that merits him.being in charge to the end of the season that beggars belief for me. Totally agree, this is what has been most worrying. Regardless, he has been appointed now and we need to get behind him. Hope that he can "shake things up" as he said in his interview. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdevoy Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Actually I feel more +ve about AD than I ever did about AA. 1. He speaks English. 2. He knows the league. 3 He knows the players. He has had 3 poor results but we were already in a really crap run (apart from Hearts). It's up to him to show he can turn it around. -10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's the man for the job, but if the board want him, make him the permanent manager don't give him it until the end of the season. We desperately need players who will come in and make a difference to the starting 11 in January, but those kind of players won't sign for a rookie manager who's on a 6 month deal. Why would they?

Zorro Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I can’t say it’s an appointment which fills me with much hope. I’d suggest AD is more to blame for our league position than AA was. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There it is - the worst take yet. 1. Dog whistles of xenophobia that are completely false are just embarrassing. 2. He knows the league. Does he? He was part of the coaching set up the recruited Osman Sow and Simeon Jackson, so to say he “knows the league” isn’t telling the full story. Steve Clarke worked his contacts and unconverted a few gems for us. Alex Dyer’s first job up here was at us. 3. If him knowing the players was the key to fixing all of this, the last few games would have showed this - they didn’t. The players now get to have a laugh in training with their pal Alex in charge, doesn’t mean results will turn in our favour. Knowing the players and knowing how to coach and manage the players are poles apart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow don’t know where you get this new found optimism about AD as a manager. Has no track record and if the last three games are anything to go by no standing with the players apart from being the dressing room stooge who cracks the funnies instead of the whip. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EKX16 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Alex Dyer is the manager for good or bad,In the meantime we need a creative midfielder and a couple of strikers. Hopefully he will get the full backing of the board. We deserve better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodgdan Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 One extreme to the other in the last two appointments. Good that we've gone back to our tried and trusted method of selecting a manager given it's level of success with Jig and Locke. Hope as I do with every new manager that he is our best manager ever but this appointment just looks a lazy and quite desperate decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme S Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I am supremely confident Alex Dyer will do a great job for us. I also predict the @Paninaro will produce an AD badge before the end of the season and all real/uber fans will proudly wear them everywhere they go! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
