And there is also McGill and Gallagher from Airdrie certainly would be an upgrade on who we have at the moment Austin will be out of contract but hardly kicked a ball this season for us so wouldn't be too fussed to lose him if being honest , rumours amongst us fans at Kelty that Potter will be your manager next season if Dean and Barrowman get on board , welcome to him as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raith1974 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 2 hours ago, Heid_The_Baw said: Have to laugh at those comparing McGlynn with Murray. McGlynn went stale. Made very serious signing errors. Had to go. Murray has come in, had his hands tied budget wise because of said McGlynn errors. In a very small pot of players available that are championship level, we couldnt touch most due to the fact we pull crowds of 1500 at home. Murray had no option but to take risks as it was obvious we had to get in a striker and a centre back. What we could afford was obviously rank. Its not the managers, its the apathy of the Kirkcaldy people towards their club. Incidentally, got a gut feeling that McGlynn will sign Connoly for Falkirk....... Firstly I've never compared Murray and McGlynn and thought change was needed. There currently is apathy in the town towards the club as we are a club that doesn't play in a style that attracts people to come along. Yes we will always struggle to get home support over 2k but we need a product on the park that will attract the can or can't be bothered fan to turn up on a regular basis. Connelly is very unlikely to end up at Falkirk considering he had a very unhappy experience there previously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also 29 and spent a lot of time out this season, doesn't feel like much of an upgrade, much of the same really. Agyeman would be more in the profile we should be looking for, but I think he'll be picked up elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, can't thank Dean enough for what he's done for Kelty but he can only take us so far and hopefully he gets the resources together so you guys get back up the table pushing for promotion , Austin and Potter how ever, Austin has been a sick note for last couple of seasons and not been at the races when actually playing , Potters idea of football is boring , bland pish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I see a lot of talk about fixing the defence. Let’s remember where we started and the battle this year has been. Nolan and Lang at CH is a viable Championship pairing, and not attempting to retain both, unless we have signed replacements, would be idiotic. Dick is more expendable, as Young has seemed viable in several matches, but it’s still a risk and Young isn’t signed either. Millen is signed for next year. Masson looks the business, and needs signed too (he’ll at least be inexpensive). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 You cannot look at the way we have conceded goals this season without thinking the defence needs some attention. Even just in the past 2 weeks, 3 goals have been pissed away from set pieces against a terrible Accies side. Not saying they aren't individually decent players or not worth keeping, but we can't be planning to go into next season with that defence as our first choice. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the face of it, I'm not averse to a setup like that. Me neither. With the caveat that these people need to be capable and justify their wages, there needs to be a professionalisation across the club. You can't run with a board of directors who turn up for a few hours at a time but never meet all at once, and a manager who has to do everything for himself, especially without an academy to provide a natural path. Football has moved on. Ian Murray can't be training, coaching, managing, scouting, negotiating and recruiting by himself. Look at the successful clubs and try to mirror them. Clubs like Livingston and St Mirren who've been where we are and gone on to better things. They're not trying to get promoted out of the Championship by bringing in part-time players, or asking their manager to run the show without adequate support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sim’s recent interview makes note of us recently getting the contracts wrong. I think his actual words were “one sided”. If I was guessing our high earners, I’d think it’s very likely that we are paying a fortune for Stanton, Gullan, Ethan Ross, Vaughan, Jamie MacDonald and probably Spencer.

He also indicated McGlynn was bad for building in increases to contracts. Robbing the future budget to pay for today, which of course is no longer John McGlynn's problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
