If we don’t go up it will then be part time football. Whether Barry Smith is in charge I really hope not. It's a pity he didn't dig deep when Smith wanted a midfielder at the transfer window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Smith is a very, very poor manager. I suppose an optimist could say we were comfortably ahead of third this season and it’s exceptionally unlikely another team will get as many points as Ayr next season. But this season has essentially been dreadful. If we don’t have a clause in Smith’s contract about promotion, why not? Great job from outgoing chairman Alan Young. Locke, Hughes, Smith. Not sure there’s a brain cell between them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there should be set targets put into contracts that have to be met. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not have an agreement with Gadzhalov in place as well before your board pulled the funding at the very last second? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 If the club are going to get rid of Smith they should do it as quickly as possible. Agreed but without a chairman who makes the call? Who hires the new manager? Sim who won’t even be in the country? Tom fucking Morgan? It’s a mess and sadly I can’t see anything but Smith staying here for next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHans Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I can't see him going in all reality. Last night I would have said that he'd most certainly be away (may even have said it), but 1, I don't think we can afford to sack him. 2, I don't think it would be a good idea to sack him and 3, who would sack him if we don't have a chairman? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly, however there were medical bills to be paid so I suspect that was the reasoning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Smith confirms what we all know about him....a pathetic manager and pathetic human. Holding out for a pay off. Have some respect for the club and fans and resign! -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching the garbage over the last 3 games, who is going to want to buy a season ticket? Not me, thats for sure. If we announced Ray McKinnon as manager it would be enough to persuade a good few folk to buy a ticket imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 My understanding is that he wanted an experienced player but was forced into the loan. I can understand both sides of that but when the chairman explicitly said he was looking for a manager to promote our youth prospects, I’m not sure there can be much comeback. Hendry of course turned out to be an integral part of the team for the last quarter, but sat on the bench for months beforehand. Another example of Smith misjudging players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
