Cowden til i die Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 A Raith fan was telling me about a member of the back room staff was resigning after the game due to a fallout with Murray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Sandy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Terry Butcher, Jimmy Calderwood? Both fit the bill in terms of experience. Would we want them? Would the come to us as a number 2? Not seriously suggesting them just starting to throw some names out there. Sir Jimmy of Raith?.......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden til i die Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Yes please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 We seriously need a Martin Harvey type coach to assist Bert, Sir Jimmy was f**k all without him. If Murray is to see out his contract, he needs experience behind him, someone he can learn from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Going down the experience route is completely understandable, but not if it's someone who is just looking for a last pay-day to top up their pension. I'd have no issues with them appointing a young guy looking to make their mark in the management game, who's potentially going to put more into it because he's desperate to work their way up. Whatever they decide on, I just hope it's someone from outwith the club who can bring in some different ideas. That said, if I was Laurie, I'd probably be champing at the bit for the step-up, so I can see it from his perspective as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Rasta Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Don't think it will be a random, will prob be one o Murray's neeburs or ex Raith or maybe could be a random like Paul Hegarty Edited August 31, 2014 by Raith_Rasta 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 So you don't think it'll be someone random, and that it'll probably be one of Murray's pals. Or maybe it'll be an ex-player. Or maybe someone random. You got the lottery numbers whilst you're at it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Brilliant Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I think it's very hard for fans/outsiders to know who's a good assistant manager or what they bring to the job. You'd hope we'll get someone in who's tactically strong and a motivator. You'd tend to think anyone like that would rather be, or is already, a no. 1 though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donny86 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Surely Ellis will just step up? No point in having 3 in the management team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Surely Ellis will just step up? No point in having 3 in the management team Would you be happy with Ellis just stepping up? I would rather we bring someone new in with different ideas, tactics etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Berk Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Sir Jimmy of Raith?.......... We played great football under him, so I was surprised at how badly Cowden have gone down recently. But now I think the real brains behind that Rovers team was Martin Harvey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Surely Ellis will just step up? No point in having 3 in the management team That would be the sensible and cost effective option. Murray and Ellis are either up to the job, or they're not. If we need to get someone in to help them, this would indicate they can't do their jobs properly. In which case, pay them off and just hire a better management team. This reads like a 'Murray Out' type post, but that wasn't my intention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpaddyx Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Is Frank Connor still available? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Berk Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Is Frank Connor still available? Just. He's nearly 80. As for a Murray-Ellis combination I'd have my doubts with both being defenders. The defence hasnt been great under Murray so maybe Ellis could improve that but I dont see him introducing any style to our play, which is sadly lacking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whistle Blower Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 We played great football under him, so I was surprised at how badly Cowden have gone down recently. But now I think the real brains behind that Rovers team was Martin Harvey. Now !!!!! That was news 20 years ago. Nicholl struggled till Harvey came along, and continue to struggle once he left his side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
