I'm still not decided yet, I'll give him a couple of games before I make my mind up about him.

He may have interviewed the best, but I am staggered if he really is he best man that applied for the job. More like a luggy stitch up. And it's certainly not an appointment that will get the csuals rushing to the ticket office.

That said, Fitton has bought the right to appoint who he wants. We'll just have to get behind Mo and hope he can do it,

Haven't we learnt in the past that box-office-based appointments aren't what we need for stability? Wise and Sturrock were good for this club - but we can't always survive with bouts of success, then upheavel as they move on.

Frankly, we know very little about Malpas. Most comments on here are based on ohter people's partisan opinions. He's ours now. Our man, and part of our new club which we fought to get hold of again. Good luck MM.

 :goodpost: Spot on Moonie. Pleased to see Byrne retain a role as well, for the stability point of view plus he's shown he can get the players to work for him and keeps the tight link between first and youth team setup.

Gets my 100% support unless theres reason not to.

I don't want a big name who comes here and just buggers off at the next opportunity and if stability is what he will provide then Im all for it.

Glad Byrne is assistant as hopefully can integrate youth players eventually into first team and help ensure we don't lose young talent like we have done in the past.

And I would guess a natural progression for Jeremy Newton to take Byrne's old job and Williams to take Blackley's.

Face it, Fitton is the last man to appoitn somebody without a VERY good reason to do so. Malpas must have been superb in te interview - and ticked every box going. Fitton seems to know his football and has money and pride at stake with this appointment. this will not be on a whim, and I for one trust him.

55 caps for Scotland, manager of the u21s As well as managing Dundee United and Motherwell.... Plenty more experience than all the other manager mentioned put together. Heard contrasting reports on him from my many contacts north of the border, but he gets the benefit of the doubt and I will behind him 100% until he gives me reason not to.
