Whistle Blower Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) So that's Livvy, Dunfermline and Ayr all with managerial vacancies. If we punt Murray now, any potential replacement will have a strong hand in negotiating a deal, or we could just stick with what we've got and hope it eventually works.

The board are holding off for McCoist. Just to teach us to be careful what we wish for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardy Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) I would take McGlynn back to be honest. He was a man, that the majority of the support got behind. We weren't great to watch, but we were pretty effective. At present, we aren't great to watch, and we aren't effective. If the chance to bring him back arises, i would for one be firmly behind it. Jefferies on the other hand though? Naw. Edited December 16, 2014 by Wardy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefferies on the other hand though? Naw. I understand where you're coming from but I don't necessarily think bringing McGlynn back would be the best thing. He was fantastic for us for 6 years and we all appreciate what he did for the club but I think as fans we've moved on from him and I would prefer a manager who at least would play some decent football. We all know we're unlikely to winning leagues so we need someone who would bring back the enjoyment of watching Rovers on a Saturday and, whilst McGlynn may make us a bit more solid, it would for me be a short term fix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I would see it as a quick fix as well, something to give the fans a bit of hope to be honest. The malaise in the support is so evident that something like this wouldnt do us any harm whatsoever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 John McGlynn is a man for a club in the doldrums. He turned our football club around (almost single-handedly?), but I don't think he's the sort of manager that we need now. Tactically I don't think he's superior to Murray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefferies on the other hand though? Naw. McGlynn done absolute miracles with what he had and I'm sure we all agree most. if not all of the fans. have nothing but respect for him, however I'm also in the boat where I wouldn't like him back ... His last season was all getting a bit stale, same old stuff, finally got figured out ... IF (and right not it seems a massive if) we get a new manager, I would like us to stay away from all this Hearts dross, it seems we like to take their players and coaches/managers whenever possible ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I wouldn't have McGlynn back. He did a great job of getting us back into this league and keeping us here, but he unfortunately stayed a season longer than he should've. Murray has, sadly, failed to build on McGlynn and we're still stuck in the good start/prolonged period of poor form after October cycle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see him back at the club in some capacity, but the likes of Ayr United would be a good fit for him. A reasonably sized town club that should really be a Championship club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I'd take McGlynn back, without hesitation, if we had a vacancy. But we don't, and I'm in the rapidly dwindling minority of people who don't want there to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we don't, and I'm in the rapidly dwindling minority of people who don't want there to be. The 1%? I'd be curious to hear why, Yoss - purely as I've seen nothing at all from that perspective. Always good to hear another point of view, and I think the Murray issue is perhaps the sole thing we've all agreed on, ever! Not sure I'd take McGlynn back. He worked wonders for us, no question, but I'd prefer to see it left in the past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 We need to change the ethos at the club in terms of our style of play more than ever. As of next season, we're back to square one in terms of away crowds (taking away Hearts/Rangers/Both. We need to try to compete against the Flyers in terms of offering value for money with regards to entertainment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
