Look lets be positive for two reasons. First of all he's not Allen / Cotterrell / King etc - please delete as appropriate. Second of all and most importantly, he is Scum free.
Parkin hardly set the world alight before he came here. Maybe any mistakes Malpas has made in the past he's learnt from.
He has my full support unless he proves himself crap. A few wins and any of this negative crap will be forgotten.
Yes, his name has come from left field but give the guy a break.

Malpas certainly has good coaching experience, having been in scotland fulfiling various roles with the national team, he obviously got a bit of a rude awakening when at Motherwell and has cut his teeth as a manager.
Now he has to take all his coaching experience and the little bit of managerial experience he has had and put it too good use in the lower leagues of english football, he has a good reputation in the game as well.
I suspect he has good contacts in scotland so we will probably see some good scottish youngsters arrive, and he is keen on youth getting it's chance as well which can only be a good thing.
Fitton isn't stupid he is not going to the future of the club he is taking over on some guy that he is not sure off.
And of course there is contenuity with Byrne and Williams both getting coaching roles in the new setup.
There does seem to be quite a lot of good scottish managers out there as well, so the jocks must know a thing or two
If Fitton thinks that Malpas can do the job then that is good enough for me I will back him, and hopefully everyone else wil lget behind his appointment and collectively we can move the club forward towards the championship.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions and this is not aimed at anyone in particular you understand but any one who comes out with something along the lines of, for example....
"im 100 percent convinced Malpas is a crap manager"
....has to be quite the cunt.
I mean, I think it's fair to say that none of us know anything about him. Certainly not what he's like as a coach or a person. So how the fuck can anyone be '100% convinced' he's a crap manager. By making that statement, you're also saying Fitton's an idiot which is clearly way off the mark as well.
Amazing.

by the sounds of it, he's a model professional - or he was as a player - so i hope he can instill some of that professionalism into our side, as a few are still lacking in that department. quite a few comparisons can be drawn between him and sturrock as well. both one club players for dundee utd and were both important members of their side during the 80s when they were quite successful, both represented scotland at two world cups and both are familiar with a number of our current side... despite sturrock doing fairly well in his first managerial job, he was very poor during his tenure at dundee united as much like malpas' reign at motherwell, the side lost important players. i'm 100% convinced that malpas is an awesome manager  |

Has never achieved anything as a manager.
Doesnt exactly fill me with confidence and he has no track record to speak of. Not what I wanted personally in a manager.

I make that out to be a 100% record.
Why are we complaining?

No they didn't they ignored those rather salient facts, much like you're ignoring the fact he took over a side that had just gone into admin and had to sell their best players. You can make the stats say whatever you like, let's judge him on his record here, shall we? |

dont think I take any pleasure in it because I dont
just very very disappointed at the decision and what the early indications are about the new board as a result of it
It is an appointment proportional to that of giving Onoura the job --
When Iffy was appointed most of the people on here were happy .. for 5 mins but I didnt want him from day 1 ...
When Wise and Sturrock were appointed I was happy that we had good managers with a track record who would pull in supporters ...
i guess time will tell ...

Attendances have hardly taken a huge dip since Sturrock left have they?
If fact there were only 4,000 + there for Sturrock's first game.
