Gregor147 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 "Although this agreement extends only until the end of this season, we're confident John's particular brand of management will bring a freshness to Stark's Park and excite our fans." Didn't realise the freshness was league one. It was a misquote. It should have read " Johns peculiar brand of management will bring f*** all to Starks Park and all our fans will exit." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Mcglynn has a good job at Celtic and is going nowhere. That's a given. Guaranteed to be our next manager now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sittìng on the fence Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 14 hours ago, Here Come The Sons said: Can we have Vaughan back please? Major difference between the outcome for both sides in my opinion. Surely you can't stand in his way of playing at a higher level? St Mirren supposed to be talking to him i hear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge of allan bairn Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Tough times for raith fans seem like a really decent bunch on this forum too. Good luck for next season. Still can't get over the appt of Locke everyone posted so at the time. I posted a killie fan who's never returned to the football since his tenure there he hated him so much. Any kind if even mild due diligence by your board would have kept them a million miles from him. Also seen some chat on here of Duffy as manager and Vaughan Stewart etc staying think ...think the third tier ain't going to be attractive to any of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typicalrovers Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I spoke with John McGlynn a couple of weeks ago. He wants the job. He was up at Brechin on Wednesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 The club hold the cards to an extent as they have contracts for next season. Granted there will be need to cut cost and I'm sure these players don't want to be playing at League 1 level, but it isn't as simple as players just wanting to move on. Not a single one of these players can really say they have been good enough for us this season. Even Vaughan was loaned out as he hadn't scored in the league all season at that point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typicalrovers Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Not sure I'd want him again but I reckon we would have stayed up if he had been given the Yogi shift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Whilst there are a few players under contract I would like to see invited to leave, if we really have told everyone they can leave it sums up the utter shambles that the club is. There are a couple of them we could get a small fee for. I think the days if much of a fee are long gone. Yes there is a decent spine of players already signed that would easily cope in league 1. If they have been told they can go then is it a change of ideas , mix of part time and full time ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylivi1 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I have to say I'm shocked Brechin have got the better of you over two legs, one of the poorer sides I've seen this season but that's football eh, that's why the bookies win. What I would say is sometimes it helps to take a step back and freshen things up, we've done just that, and although it was disappointing to be relegated in hindsight it's helped the club move forward, it's been an enjoyable season and we are in a better place to take on the championship next season. Good luck to you, it won't be easy in league 1 but sign the right players and get a good coach and you should be fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 By gut feeling is that Hughes went right through the players at full time and said something along the lines of "You can all gtf, even those with contracts" as opposed to the board making that decision within an hour of full time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigger Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I spoke with John McGlynn a couple of weeks ago. He wants the job. He was up at Brechin on Wednesday. Another step backwards in my opinion.

Anthony Fitzgerald Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Unlucky Rovers. Two absolute cretins as managers didn't help your cause, the board have to be held accountable for that.Speaking of the board I've heard they've lined up McGlynn for weeks now despite his role at Celtic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Mcglynn left the game on Wed with some sort of club official. I presumed was just a social call but maybe not. There's not a lot for us to choose from being honest. A solid if unspectacular appointment is better than batshit mental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to you, it won't be easy in league 1 but sign the right players and get a good coach and you should be fine. Well that remains to be seen, at the moment all that's happened is that you are back to where you were 12 months ago and have had to take a huge financial risk (at your own board's admission) to get there. If it hadn't paid off, who knows how it would have ended up. In what way are you further forward? This thing about getting relegated being an opportunity to have a 'clear out' and 'freshen things up' is a total myth. At this level every player is on a 1 or 2 year deal, so you can have a clear out pretty much every summer if you wanted, there is no reason to wait until you are relegated to do this. Raith will be 'fine' in the sense that they will be challenging at the top end of League One, however there is only one automatic promotion slot and the play-offs are a lottery. You have Ayr who will also be benefiting from this apparent opportunity to 'freshen things up', hopefully ourselves (although maybe not...) and maybe Alloa up challenging aswell. It would be very easy for Raith to miss out on the title and spend 2-3 years down there (like Dunfermline did). I get fans trying to find a positive spin for Raith, but lets be honest it's an absolute shocker of an outcome with virtually no positives.
