foreverarover Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 He's the Sports editor for the FFP, a fairly wide beat that includes coverage of the Flyers as much if not more than the Rovers. Possibly doesn't give him the depth to review the minutiae in any given sport. Besides, far more than the fact of Alloa's lofty position, the idea that we'd pay compensation for anyone is far more ridiculous.He is also and editor in other local rags. He reports at times on Clyde games for Cumbernauld News 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Goodwin managed to out think Barry Smith 3 times in a week, and work the loan market, are those 2 attributes good enough reason to give him the gig ?I could out think Smith, geez that's not difficult [emoji848] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 2 hours ago, Enigma said: Not sure I’d want Goodwin. Still fairly inexperienced and unproven in full time management. Alloa only went up by the back door of the play offs, he still hasn’t won anything as a manager. Would be step up for him coming here and a risk on our side. Would be looking at managers with a higher profile. Intrigued at the higher profile, more experienced managers you think Rovers could realistically get? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’d like to see us go for super hans. He has a pretty high profile on here and managed to rip you a new one too if I remember rightly. Back to the bakers then, chubby head. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Nah I gave that guy a greeny for being a reasonable Raith fan. My original point that I didn't really say was that including Jim Goodwin in a poll for the next Raith Rovers manager doesn't exactly lend credibility for Matthew Elder or FFP because reasonable people will realise Guardiola has just about as much chance of taking over at this point as Jim. Seeing as he's a journalist wouldn't he find out about the comings and goings at St Mirren and Alloa? Which he obviously hasn't. Instead it seems like setting up your board and fanbase for disappointment.So you’re on here laughing at a few opinions of certain Rovers fans then go onto compare Jim Goodwin with Pep Guardiola in the same breath You wonder why nobodies taking anything you say that serious? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Finishing 15 points behind 2nd place last season and currently sitting 2nd bottom only to a dreadful Falkirk side is hardly lofty stuff to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I'm jumping on the McGlynn train with @Wardy The man loves the Rovers, will have us hard to beat and we'll be well organised. Also, he's got no hair but we don't care. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 (edited) Unless Smith is considering taking some form of action against us, why are we bothering to discuss with him? He's gone. Pay him up to his last day with us and be done with it. Edited September 13, 2018 by Michael W 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless your Jim Goodwins agent you havent a clue of his plans for the future he may have applied for the job? Why isnt Alloa offering Jim a full time contract if hes that good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why isnt Alloa offering Jim a full time contract if hes that good Most probably because Alloa are a part-time club with part-time players, so can’t see any logic in having a full-time manager regardless how good he is, when the players only train 2 evenings a week[emoji45] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
