I wonder if the recent board resignations has anything to do with the cost cutting at the club? Our budget was slashed this year and going by what I’ve heard on the grapevine will be slashed again next season with us trying to promote more players from the academy which is either going to work out well or be a total disaster.
Heard on the grapevine or made up in your head?
if be very surprised if any decisions had been made at this stage when we are a quarter of the way through this season and have no idea what income we could potentially have from prize money or potential player sales.
Really wish people would just keep quiet instead of making up baseless stories.

Let’s not hit the panic button just yet. This league is wide open, the inconsistency is affecting every team.
The fact we have lost 3 on the bounce yet still sit in 2nd place and 3 points behind the big spending league leaders says it all.
Time will tell if Kerr was a wise appointment but right now we’re not in a bad place.

Truly underwhelming appointment, we’ve undoubtedly gone for the cheap option.
I thought Lauchlan had learned his lesson from the Mark Roberts disaster.

Don't know if these guys have track record on getting things correct but hope they are off the mark here
Their Facebook page has 37 likes so I wouldn’t imagine they are an overly reliable source.

Seems Young and Sheerin are involved:

Let’s just go all out and take the 2 of them and Sandy Stewart in a management dream team.

Well he's surely not going to get his dream job without earning his spurs as a manager in his own right?
Neil Lennon did so who knows.

Listened to the latest Simon Ferry podcast and each of the panel were wholesome in their praise of John Kennedy as both a player and coach.
Would somebody with this profile want to apply and be his own man?
Clearly well connected, played and worked with top players both domestically and internationally.
Just a thought until we get final confirmation and announcement of who has got the job.
Funny you say that actually. I was just thinking yesterday that John kennedy or similar type appointment might be interesting. I actually thought o Paul Sheerin too.

Without being in the know I can only presume the Burley "rumour" is an attempt at a modern day David Bingham type p!sstake?
That would be as left field as anyone could ever have imagined.
Haha honestly no attempt from me to take the piss.
I had completely forgotten about him until I saw the previous post.
genuinely don’t think he would be the worst appointment, certainly doesn’t strike the same fear as Canning and Yogi.

Burley already failed in the job. Hard to justify giving him a second go.
His stock has risen somewhat since then. Won’t be many teams in the championship appoint a former (although disastrous) Scotland manager.
lets not forget Mr McCall was untouchable before he came to us.

Even if he was sacked beforehand Sunderland would probably still be due a compo fee likely bigger than our seasons budget.
Also made me wonder actually how good a manager he really is and he's really struggled down at Sunderland, personally don't think he'd entertain coming to us, if he goes anywhere in Scotland it could be Hibs.
What makes you think if Sunderland sack him they’d be due compo? If he’s unemployed he is entitled to seek employment at another club without prejudice. Would be different if he resigned. Only snag would be if he was effective placed on gardening leave or if his payout from Sunderland has a condition that if he is reemployed in a certain timeframe he loses some of it. In both these situations it would be Jack arose taking the hit, not Ayr.
Yeah he’s struggled at Sunderland but they are a basket case of a club. They are still carrying some players from the Premiership so their wage bill must be horrendous. They have also been under embargo so their transfer dealings this year are limited.
He did a good job with Alloa prior to St Mirren.
Im sure if he does become available he’ll have bigger offers than us.

Jack Ross at 20/1 i see, interesting, we starting a gofundme page for the Jack Ross compo for Sunderland then?
By all accounts Jack Ross will be looking for a new gig next week should Sunderland falter this week...

A fucking billboard....
its 2019 not 1919, there are any number of ways that a potential supporter can see when the next game is on without the club spunking cash on a fucking advertising medium that belongs in the last century.
if they were going to waste money on advertising the sensible thing would be to spend it on targeted Facebook ads which we can at least measure the number of views rather than something that we have no method of assessing.

"Hopefully in the near future" ?
So you are looking forward to him leaving too?
We need a new owner who is going to drive the club forward both on and off the park. The club has been neglected for far too long. Time for change at the top!In what way has the club been neglected?
What you are looking for is not an owner it’s a sugar daddy.
End of the day we have been a provincial club in Scotland’s 2nd and 3rd tiers for around 40 years, who exactly are you expecting to pump money into us?

Hughes might not actually be too bad a fit for Ayr at the moment. You've got a decent team and are playing well. He took over at ICT when Butcher went to Hibs (lol) and took a pretty smooth running outfit and made them perform even better (after an initial bumpy start). It fell apart for Hughes at ICT when he had to start bringing his own players and he failed miserably.
Long term he might not be a great option but for the next couple of years he could probably do you a wee turn.Given we pretty much need to rebuild every summer, Yogi would be a dreadful decision we can ill afford.

If we let our manager and assistant manager go for as little as 10K to an utterly desperate Partick Thistle it’s an utter shambles tbh.We may have had no say in the matter. Completely dependent on their contracts.

I’d be happy with Coyle and Stewart or Jack Ross if he magically becomes available.
Any of the other names gives me the fear.
I’d prefer whoever it is to have some experience of bringing through young players and working on a very small budget.

Back to the serious business....
Should McCall decide to go Jack Ross would do nicely. By all accounts his time at Sunderland could be drawing to an end. Believe their fans were chanting for him to go today.

That's a good point and presumably Falkirk offered him much more cash and transfer budget than we could ever match last season.
I see this as being very similar to the Falkirk situation last year. They’ll offer him more cash and a bigger budget but ultimately he’ll stay put.
You’d have to be a mad man to join a club who are trying to push takeover plans through. What if their new rich owners come in and want to bring their own man in?
