They're currently second bottom of the second tier after five matches. (Drawn 3, Lost 2). Probably the only ex Raith player not linked to the role 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took them up a couple of years back then kept them up when 7 teams got relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHans Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 The easiest way to get the fans back on board is to win games, not get involved in community based projects. I agree with the first part but totally disagree with the second. School visits, community projects, meetings with the fans, openness in interviews and being approachable are all things that are needed at our club. Granted all of these things are a lot easier to do when the team is winning but it was a huge factor when they went looking for someone after McKinnon left. I do know that they did see Laurie Ellis as almost a bigger loss because of the work he did (largely off his own back) for the club off the pitch and away from the training ground. McKinnons open invitation to the fans for a drink at O'Connels went down extremely well I remember. Especially as it was on the back of a injury time winner against Morton. Picked up a lot of publicity too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weecountywaspie Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Darren Young was interviewed before Gary Lock got the job . I would think he will be high on the list this time around Billy Stark doesn't have a job outside football so he would jump at the chance of a full time post Lennon and Murray would be others 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few friends of mine are pretty reluctant to fork out £15 but that's down to them not being avid fans of Scottish Football, let alone Rovers. I think they may be enticed if it was maybe a tenner. It might be hard for them to lower prices now that they have sold so many hundred season tickets..... alternatively, if they were to, they would need to offer some kind of discount or refund to the folk (aye! I-m one of them) that shelled out on the ST's at £230. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) I'm as unconvinced about Young as I am with Easton but I suppose at our level, whoever we chose will either lack experience or have a failure on his record. Would have loved Hartley but we would have only had a chance with that if we'd stayed up. Some other possibilities: Stevie Aitken Darren Young Ian Murray Laurie Ellis Craig Easton John McGlynn Stewart Petrie Danny Lennon Russell Latapy Probably in that order of preference for me but we'll need a bit of luck, there's no appointment there that looks a nailed on success.

GhostZapper Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 would we be prepared/afford to pay compensation for guys like Aitken, Murray, Ellis, if they are already contracted to other clubs? Assuming we aren't the potential shortlist could be as short as Young, McGlynn and Lennon..... although when we've done this in previous seasons, its always been someone from a wee bit left field that's ended up being appointed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense then! assuming Dumbarton aren't looking to renew, id certainly think he would be on the shortlist - I suppose it comes down to whether he wants to give up his job, or remain part time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.R.FC Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 What are people thoughts on Gus MacPherson? He's one of those names that is always banded around and sounds very uninspiring and I would probably feel a bit of dread if he was appointed tomorrow. However, when you look at his record it is actually pretty good. Barring one shocker of a season at QOS he has around 10 seasons of reasonable success. Seems to be doing a good job at Queen's Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
