To be fair I think the local media and the wider media for that matter log onto here when they want to know what's happening, for all its critics and knockers we do have some pretty informed posters on here, obviously not referring to myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View Of Golden Gate Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Would love to see Tommy Wright back, I honestly think him and Paul Murray were a major reason for Johnson doing well here. Johnson had the tactical brain, whereas they were the man managers, and kept the players on their side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruitygoo Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) I used to have a lot of time for Wright but I personally don't want him back - it wouldn't surprise me if he came back..... Personally, I'd like to see Shez and Shirtliff again as it certainly worked for us but I do wonder how Shirtliff felt about him bailing last year? Murray back would be good but I'm not sure how much there is in the Wellens rumour. I know he's been around a few games but he's working as a pundit on GMR so that could explain that. I think Harbin returning is unlikely but I'd love to see it! Edited April 26, 2017 by Fruitygoo Horrific grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I would be extremely unhappy with a Tommy Wright return after his comments last time he left. Plus the sting showed him for what he is. No drama's if he comes back so my ST is not up for grabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) Yes he acted like a dick but hang on he got dog's abuse from the MSP that day. There was no conscience when we sacked him at the end of 08/09. he got the chance of going to a bigger club for more money and working with a guy he believed in (LJ). Yes he got caught with dodgy dealings that's wrong and the fact that most clubs are at it doesn't make it right. But he was never charged. He stayed put when LJ again jumped ship and was a big part of barnsleys JPT and play off wins. Do I want a winner as part of our set up? Of course. If tommy does come back it'll be his SIXTH different spell at the club. (Player twice, SOE coach, assistant manager to shez and LJ) He's clearly got an affinity for the place like our manager. The only thing I'll never forgive Tommy for is ruining my life in 1989. until Rick Holden signed...

2uptop Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Wellens has been offered the role of first team coach by corney, he told me so himself. Although I have to admit he didn't seem to upbeat about it and just said he was thinking about it. I Would like to think that shez will be allowed to bring in his own assistant next season, if it is Tommy Wright then so be it. Hopefully the familiarity will bring success.

I expected Shez to appoint his own man in due course. I expected Barraclough to link up with Robinson again once he got the Motherwell gig. Wright would have to eat a bit of humble pie coming back here. During the sting he was recorded as saying words to the effect that he was fed up of driving hundreds of miles to scout for bargain basement deals. Something he'd have to get used to doing again in he returned to BP I'm sure Robinson had a hand in Barraclough getting the NI under 21s job. He may well end up combining it with the Mortherwell assisntant's job, just as Robinson did before him. Shez does want to bring his own team in over summer. I think he would like Tommy Wright to be part of it. However, the fact that the police investigation in to his alleged corrupt activities is still ongoing may be a stumbling block.
