Brashy's Boots Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Still not official? Still time? Article on Radio Scotland this morning about Hughes leaving ICT today. We've not announced yet? Why not announce Locke 9am? Yes I know it's wishful but... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Apparently last season we went back on Naysmith due to fan backlash. The reaction over the last 12 hours has been far more severe. If the board were ever needing to stop and say "is this the right thing to do? Are the fans happy at this choice?" then now is the time to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSDR 88 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Shiting my breaks if it is Gary Locke, horrific decision!! Airdrie away 2017/18. I haven't seen anything positive towards him on all social platforms, surely the board are aware of this. Also, the boy sounds like an absolute muppet, how can he interview well...! Sake Rovers, giid one on sucking out any left over joy from that season. MURRAY IN! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the board were ever needing to stop and say "is this the right thing to do? Are the fans happy at this choice?" then now is the time to do so. Exactly this. The board would be fully commended if they did. The only positive thing I've read from anyone is "oh come on give the guy a chance" but then they can't say one quality he possesses as a manager! I genuinely believe Billy Brown will be appointed his assistant as well...literally who else would and could it be?!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Following Jim Duffy's relative success at Morton coupled with Ian Murray's unexpected blow up at St Mirren, I've stopped trying to predict how managerial appointments will go. Keep the faith guys, you never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover the Moon Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Wee Mickey as assistant to appease the fans and get a Rover on board? Trying to grasp at what has got him the job - perhaps the number of kids he helped bring through at Hearts? We need to make the most of the Fife Academy thing so maybe they see him as someone useful in that process. Sure there would be better guys out there for that purpose though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baillieinleeds Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 As you know I'm a twat on these boards, but this totally smacks of desperation. The board have probably thought long and hard about attendances and out of resentment towards the stay away fans that we deserve nothing more. They brought in a manager that instilled a footballing philosophy, and yet the fans stayed away. So now we reap what we sow. So it's like a major f**k you to the fans of this club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Please take Brad McKay. He's an 'excellent' young defender with all the tools required to be a 'top, top' player. I second this. Would be a tremendous piece of business by Locke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 It's really hard for me to put into words just how fucking angry I am at this. I get behind the board in EVERYTHING they do. Gave Murray the job, gave him a longer contract, helped him out by bringing Malpas in instead of just jacking him when everyone was calling for his head - fine, all fine. I really try my best to think of us a progressive club who give people a chance when others won't but what the actual f**k are we doing appointing this c**t? Eric is on here and in the paper as good as begging more folk to come along and support the club and we appoint Locke, a man with the tack record of an imbecile, who lists his fucking primary school and beating Hibs once on his ACTUAL PROFESSIONAL AND PUBLIC CV. The man is a fucking joke. Is this a "f**k you" to the fans because we didn't show up in greater numbers last year? A sort of, "well this is the level of manager you can expect if you don't come and support us"? Genuinely, and I mean this, if he appoints Lee McCulloch or Billy Brown into his backroom, I'll no be back until they're away. We're a fucking laughing stock AGAIN. well done Rovers, top fucking job. At least a break away from football will give you time to continue trying to take over the world Mr Scorpio 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanCouserRRFC Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'm genuinely embarrassed reading this. A ball hasn't even been kicked or a signing made and Locke has been torn to shreds from our own fans. Talk about an over reaction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about an over reaction. This. Maybe the BOD should resign the club folds and were all done with this nonsense. Give the man a chance before you tear him to pieces and dont listen to the trolls on here who are mainly winding you rovers fans up and enjoying it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Gary Locke. We won't appoint Gary Locke. McBookie are floundering about in the dark, like the rest of us. They change the odds based on an a couple of bets here and there. Do you seriously think our board are that bad? It's not going to be Gary Locke ffs :lol: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
