Varna Rover Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 1 minute ago, Stardog_champion said: Erm, sorry to burst yer bubble. But his Cork City are currently 16 points clear of their nearest rivals. CC were relegated last season and now blowing every team out of the water in the league below and heading to win the title with ease. Hardly a failure. The truth is, any potential manager worth their salt will sound out Ian Murray about what they’ll expect. Barrowman and Potter are in complete control, and any manager that deigns to interfere or criticise will be out. somewhere i read in an artucle on that he said healy would be a fool not to accept the job and that he would jump at the oppor5unity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have clearly been turned down your preferred candidate weeks ago and someone else today. There is no process, you are bumbling from one candidate to the next. Yes we know. Thanks for reminding us though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raith1974 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 With Healy rejecting us I think Tim Clancy will be our new manager. Spent 7 years in Scottish football and has good experience in management. He also has his UEFA pro license so fits the criteria for 1st team coach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardog_champion Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 If we get a decent manager in, B&P have to step away and let him do the job. I can’t see that happening though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 When everyone is fit, we look like we should be solid defensively, up to and including the base of midfield. We then have: Mullin Connolly Gibson Montagu Stanton Vaughan Smith Easton Jamieson All 9 look on their day like they could do a job going forward, either as wingers, through the middle, or as supporting strikers. I appreciate until we either sign a number 9, or get Hamilton fit and firing, some tactics are not playable. We cant be firing in crosses all game if there's no one to meet them. What we do seem to do is go forward at half pace, cut in, play some ok stuff which is fairly toothless, and then rely on a moment of magic rather than a coherent style of play. Squad rotation is great when you're winning, but at the moment it feels like we're swapping bodies but not the way we're playing. I want a manager that will come in and marshall this mass of decent attacking talent in to a system and stick with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 1 hour ago, Jilted John said: Personally no… it would be a massively left field appointment and comes with a larger element of risk than I think is worth taking.

Scary Bear Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I’ll call it now, sacking Murray after one league game was a mistake. 28 points from 2024 was still play off form. I’ll be interested to see who we eventually convince to replace him and where we end up in the league. If I was a prospective candidate who the Board are looking at to take over I’d be contemplating the ‘one game and fired’ decision and thinking ‘that could be me.’ Hopefully this new boy can get Vaughan and Stanton fit and scoring and the likes of Easton back in form and scoring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAITHROVERS84 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 A few pages back @Stardog_champion got a bit of flack for posting some rumours. From what I’m hearing there’s a serious chance we’re losing Stanton. Is he fook injured. 3 games in and we’re looking at a clusterf**k of a season already unless someone (Barrowman) puts his foot on the ball and sorts this out. Maybe the correct decision to bin Murray, maybe not. I can understand the reason for doing so. However the timing was a disgrace and the lack of succession planning reeks of incompetence or naivety. We’re likely 2 defeats away from being bottom of the league. Not bad for title favourites from an improved squad who finished second. Some will say I’m a knicker wetter. That’s fine. I’ve been to every friendly, every diddy cup and all 3 league games and there’s something completely wrong with the team. Literally 3/4 shots on target in 270+ minutes of league football. 2 of those were long range efforts which had no chance of going in. It’s all fixable but I’m only stating what is factually happening and happened so far this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
