There are a few of our players who either need a kick up the backside or moved on based on their performances in 2024. 100% agree with this, since his goal up at Tannadice before Xmas he has been nothing more than an annoying show pony 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Sab Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 (edited) Never like to see anyone get the sack but in truth Murrays game management and tactics were poor even when he managed Airdrie with mass panic substitutions usually too late after losing a goal but I also think that Raith are now going in now to win league having realised that experienced player signings can be costly as well as being over loyal to the existing players who have not been results wise poor since Jan 2024 .Difficult gig for new manager since it appears budget spent and contract compensation due Edited August 4 by Diamond Sab 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagpuss Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 56 minutes ago, R12ATH said: Well this isnt the start of the season we all thought... here was me thinking we would bring some players in to build on last season and get us competing at top of league again.. not the manager being fired after one game. His post match interview was a weird one.. felt like he was taking a swipe at player recruitment, the physio, the fitness coach, the players and everyone bar himself. Thanks for last season though, it was a fun ride while it lasted. It's peak Raith though. It's what we do. Get ourselves into a promising situation and press the self-destruct button. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminating a contract doesn't mean paying it out in full. There are many ways to part company for much less, contractual or by other legal agreement. I've no idea what clauses IMs contract contains but none of us do. It may cost a lot less than many think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankland1874 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Seems bit harsh from an outsider especially getting to play offs but Murray never came across as a likeable character. As a player and manager 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpaddyx Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Shockingly most of the bookies still have us as joint favourites for the league along with Partick Thistle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can get him on the cheap now as he’ll be looking for a way out. Very much doubt it… signed a 2 year deal so we hold all the cairds and would your board really pony up the cash if he was available after the track record over the last few windows? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one less goal and assist means he was an annoying show pony? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specky Ginger Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 The bottom line is we look horribly slow and unfit. Whether the board have called Murray out on that, or whether Murray has called someone out whose specific remit is fitness, to the chagrin of the board, who knows? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone want to manage in front of 1k fans when things are good. There was over 2k at the game yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
