Dunning1874 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Two year deal seems a risk. I suppose it may have been necessary to get him to commit to the job considering he had a two year deal at East Fife, but what if you get nowhere near the title next season then get pumped out in the semi-final of the playoffs? You can't see him being kept on in that scenario surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Interesting to hear that he already has a few players in mind that he's going to speak to, to try get them to the club. Don't really want him to be raiding East Fife(They did finish fifth after all). So I hope that won't be the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachbum Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I think it's highly likely that he might go back to East Fife for one or two players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGlynn surely wasn't expected to win promotion at the first attempt though? McGlynn only took over in November of your second season after relegation when you were part time, had finished 7th the season before he took over and had full time sides to compete with in his first two seasons in charge: he won it at his third attempt which was the first time there were no FT teams in the league. That's not comparable to Smith who'll be managing a full time side, where failing to come straight back up will be a disaster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking, lazily, at players he has worked with previously, based on what we need and who is available I'll take a guess at one or two of the following: Ben Gordon Jason Marr Willie Dyer/Daryl Meggatt Mark Docherty Greig Spence/Chris Duggan Thats based on him having a totally unimaginative signing policy which I'm sure/hope won't be the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I'd take spence back in a heartbeat, bit of a fanny but a 20 a season striker is not too be sniffed at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caskie Rover Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Our official site has beaten you guys to it. Smith confirmed. At least you've beaten us at something this season [emoji1417] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Happy with smith being appointed. Getting him in now is good because it gives him time to get his players in and get working with him. His track record is half decent, and maybe had he been at east fife longer then he maybe could have made the playoffs with them, hopefully achieve promotion with us. But im no go take anything for granted because next season will be tough. A bit of decent football at starks next season would be good to see, but personally i dont care how we go about getting promotion as long as we do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of those players,I'd take Ben GordonI'd take Mark Docherty for this leagueI'd take Spence back for this league as well.The latter 2 I'd let go if we were to go up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
