Tell me then, what more is there to Barrowman that makes him a suitable candidate for us? 

You made a throw away comment he sells football shirts , He was the Scottish brand manager of Joma so he will know a fair bit regarding football merchandise ie increasing Rovers revenue through selling more shirts / merchandise he will also already have contacts throughout football he will know what sells or what doesn’t ? But your right what will he be doing . 
so what can you bring to the table Ro sham Bo apart from a negative , naive view of the club at the moment

See Forest Green have gone down today, serves them right for casting aside the absolute baller that is Regan Hendry. 

Serves them more right for appointing that thug as their manager. Hopefully it's his last job in football.

I would be willing to bet that Barrowman only got the job of 'brand manager' because he has a few contacts at clubs, not because of any professional expertise on his part. 

Explain exactly how this will help us sell more shirts? What use will his contacts throughout football be to us in that scenario? 

The guy should be nowhere near our club.

Piece in The Courier stating that Ian Murray is “close to finalising a deal to sign an attacking midfielder”. Any ideas who this could be? 

Surely Jamie barjonas from Kelty! Barely just signed a 1 year deal with us tail end of last season??

Fairly possible. Can't see him staying with us.

Tis a pity.

If I see that coward Barjonas in a Rovers shirt again that might be the straw that breaks the camel's back for me. 

A truly atrocious player.

Where are people seeing we are close to signing an attacking midfielder? The only reference I’ve seen was in @Ro Sham Bo wind up post this morning?

Ian Murray has never worked with Barjonas before, which should hopefully keep us safe. 

Thought the earlier shout of Callum Smyth was a good one. Fits the profile.

K107 is worth a listen on catch up this week.

I assume it's not Thursday's Currently Country you are referring to?

Not this week but it is essential listening. 

Saturday sport show. Interesting/terrifying AGM through the week and essentially confirming a lot of the speculation on the takeover/investment.

And for hiring Duncan Ferguson as a manager. Never disrespect the legend that is Jock McStay

They were fucked well before Regan went out on loan, he's better off away from them.

Pretty sure the only reason Thomson and Ferguson got a job at Kelty was because they played for McKenzie's heroes. 

Well then Ian Murray is safe in that case

Looking forward to seeing Joe Cardle stink the place out in a Rovers shirt. Again. 

Really GTF if that's your attitude 

[Ro Sham Bo]

Just watched Murray's post match interview there. Again, he's saying all the right things and is obviously seeing what we see from the stands, but he's really got to sort this in the summer. If he doesn't the buck has to stop with him.
