Are Airdrie not one of only two full time teams in that league? Reaching the playoffs is hardly pulling up trees for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 I would guess Cove, Falkirk and Queens Park all have considerably bigger budgets than Airdrie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate what he's done for this club and it's not dependant on one result, good or bad, or one signing, good or Goodwillie. Signing Keatings was a mistake. The Goodwillie thing goes much further than that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterhead are not by any conceivable measure punching above their weight by being lower mid table in League One and while it's not Cove or Kelty, their budget over McInally's time in charge has still been huge in comparison with far better performing part-time clubs, such as Montrose winning a title ahead of them and then establishing themselves in the top half of League One, while Peterhead remain a yoyo club. He's routinely failed to avoid relegation/win promotion ahead of sides with smaller budgets in every job he's had and is a perennial playoff bottler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 McInally's father in law is the Peterhead chairman. He's been there for the last 10 years who despite getting them relegated and bottling a league with an obscenely large budget. Honestly, none of the names being thrown out are inspiring in the slightest. I'd far rather we went with a young coach like Marvin Bartley than these people who are floating around. There's a reason nobody has picked any of them up before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some mistakes that are either unforgiveable or take a very long time to forgive due to the impact and scale of them. This is one of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely I know, but that’s what I’m hoping. A wee bit of form at the right time going into playoffs could be critical. We've shown no signs of doing it but we're as likely as any other team in this league to go on a wee purple patch. Unlikely, yes but possible none the less.

Double Jack D Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Yeah, I'm not sure theres a manager out there, within our reach, that I would rather have here than McGlynn. This hasn't been a terrible season. The Goodwillie saga has derailed it but if he can even get it back half on track and finish the season with a bit of momentum going into next then I think we would be in a decent place. A deal to rid ourselves of Goodwillie would help that enormously IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Barring a totally untested new manager who turns out to be a star, we won't get a better football manager than John McGlynn, it's as simple as that. Non-footballing reasons are obviously a different kettle of fish, but there's no sense looking around Airdrie and Peterhead for someone who's going to put more points on the board, for f**k sake. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the championship is beyond our reach but if we can put form together to get us up to 2nd place from here that would put us in a very good position going into the playoffs. A result and performance tomorrow would be a good springboard for that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we did I’d rather go for another McGlynn, somebody who’s maybe been a coach for 10 years somewhere else and wants a shot at a managerial role. We’re a big enough club that if we’re looking for an up-and-comer we could tempt somebody doing a job somewhere else. Kevin Thomson springs to mind.

It’s a valid line of thought, and probably the best we can do if we do allow JMcG to depart. Let face it, he’s about out of contract and hasn’t be re-signed, that’s certainly a message to note. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumswall Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 No one is going near mcinally. He has done nothing to suggest he is a good manager and realistically the only reason he's still at Peterhead is because of who his father in law is. Thomson has done nothing to really show he is a good manager. Next season will be more of a test for Kelty in league 1 and that's where he could potentially start making a name for himself with that. There isn't really anyone better than mcglynn available right now and the names being banded about here, when we don't even know what's happening with mcglynn, are pretty terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
