stevoraith Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I think Bene’s Time is up, McKay is the future and would be a big keep for meAs long as he’s not played as a right-winger [emoji849] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 The main issue for me with going part time is that we'll be left trying to pick up the best of the rest. When it happens there will need to be a transition period for it.I think we have as good a chance next season part time. I don't expect us to finish above Falkirk, so we are fighting a play off place. If either Alloa or Arbroath are second bottom then we would have, IMO as much chance as we have had in these playoffs. The issue is as others have stated. The best players are already tried up to clubs already 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastie Russell Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I think it would have been poor management at the club, not to make McGlynn aware that we could go P/T next season. Would also be short sighted of McGlynn not to ask this at any point since Christmas. It would also be piss poor for McGlynn not to have 2 sets of players he wanted to sign, one for each league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he want some sort of high level executive position and again refused point blank. If that’s the case we can’t be knocking things like this back. Please don’t bite my head off. This was talked about a while back, don’t know if it was on here or the Facebook group. Yeah I'm sure he did but I don't think the board at the time wanted someone to invest in the club and have a say in how it was used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh? If Raith went part time you'd be the biggest part time side in the country, with likely the biggest budget of all part time sides. I get that Alloa and Arbroath being in the Championship means you'll have them to contend with, but as far as top end League 1 part time players go, you should have the pick of the bunch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to dispute that, but currently a lot of the really good part time players will be under contract with other clubs. It might take a season or two before we can really start seeing the benefit of being the largest part time team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But available players that are decent aren't going to hang around for Raith to make a call on PT/FT whilst they consider the offer their own club has made them.

I'm guessing your board will know for certain which way they'll need to go depending on the division you're in. I certainly don't expect you to be waiting longer than a week after tomorrow to find out. There's plenty time to build a full time or part time squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher brash Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) I heard the full timers do have a clause in there contract but also the club so it’s kind of a double edge sword. We can punt players we don’t want but run the risk of the guys who have signed extensions could walk but if we had done the business in the league we wouldn’t be worried. I look forward to a part time squad as long as we can keep Nisbet, Vaughan, Thomson, Murray and McKay on full time contracts Edited May 17, 2019 by basher brash 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank conner Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Couldn't care less if Bene leaves and I certainly don't think it's down to just Davidson playing along side him he hasn't been the same since his injury against Ayr. Although I cant see him getting a full time gig anywhere else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 In recent times we’ve seen full time players leave us to inevitably drop down to part time (C Barr, B Barr, Stewart, Johnston, Jason Thomson, Spence, Nade, Handling, Court, McCord, Milne...). All relatively well known players from the Championship down. There’s no guarantee anyone at the club that wants to leave to pursue full time football (if we go part time) will be successful. It wouldn’t surprise me if we offloaded some players that they find themselves having to look at part time football if I’m honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Brilliant Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Benedictus would easily get a championship club but i'd rather not find out.Same goes for Hendry I suspect but who knows what pull McGlynn can exert. Looked good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
