Yoss Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 If the choice were between Kirkwood and Adams, it'd be Kirkwood for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 In Kirkwood's case, admittedly not very much, though his record in the Highland League is decent. Adams is a shouty aggressive type which never seems like good management. I'd be disappointed to see the club going that way, virtually all of Raith's success during my time watching them has been when they'd had decent, more thoughtful people in charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Well Kirkwood has had success in a poor, poor league with the biggest budget. His side were played off the park by a poor Montrose side today. One of Grant Murrays problems appears to be he's too nice. We need a fucking c**t in there, IMO anyway.

Hope your kidding Yoss, the thought of Kirkwood managing the Rovers is akin to Anelka type management. Sorry dude, but I think your taking the piss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of Grant Murrays problems appears to be he's too nice. We need a fucking c**t in there, IMO anyway. He hasn't only managed Brora. Also, football history is littered with clubs who've spent big and still been shit. I'm not saying he'd be my first choice or anything, based on such info as we have. I suppose I'm just more saying that I don't want Adams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because employing a former professional footballer with management experience is similar to allowing someone with no prior experience of professional football in any capacity to buy himself the management job? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the same, Anelka coached at the same kind of level as Kirkwood is now. See what I mean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite apart from the playing experience and all the rest. Anyway, I wasn't intending to get dragged into this and I'm not making a case for him as a favourite or anything. He'd be a bit of a wildcard; but if he has applied he'd probably be one of the ones I'd be interested in interviewing. And so would Colin Cameron, whose record at Cowdenbeath wasn't too bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahoorsir Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 To be fair to Kirkwood before getting gigs in the Highland League he was youth coach at Ross County so he does potentially tick a few boxes. It's a bit harsh to equate him with Anelka! Adams also comes across as a pretty odious human being (kind of like Billy Davies without the Manchester swinging scene) so I can understand what Yoss is getting at. As for McVeigh, I was raging when he got the Rovers job. He was clearly a p***k but if you don't try to re write history he actually did a good job while he was with us, well, unless you were a youth player! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (To be fair I'd probably also interview Adams as well, and I'm happy to acknowledge the possibility - however unlikely - of being wrong about him.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss mate, I wasn't trying come over as a c**t. I was just trying to convey that Anelka coached at the same kind of level as Kirkwood. Of course he paid for the privilege to "manage" us. Some of your selections are bemusing. You also want Cameron, he failed at Cowdenbeath and is failing at Berwick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
