Ro Sham Bo Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I know St Mirren are a better prospect than us but I can't help feel if McKinnon really wanted to come to us he'd accept the offer rather than piss us about while he sees what St Mirren have to offer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, no one actually wants to come to Raith. we are and always will be, a stepping stone for folk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADMO Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 How do we all feel if it is McKinnon ? Admittedly I don't really know much about his managerial style or time at Brechin, but it appears 4th in the League below us is his highest finish ? Understandable a FT squad you can do more than a PT one, but I still say I don't see why we sacked Murray if we are going for another unknown gamble ! Don't get me wrong, obviously I'll be behind anyone who comes in, but I was still hoping for Adams or Lennon ... Or Klopp, whoever fancied it most ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I wonder if his attitude to home grown players is a major factor or his style of football? Either had to be a major positive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardy Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I think what people are failing to grasp is that there was no way back for Murray. Murray lost the fans. The club needed season books. A lot of people were refusing to buy season tickets unless he was sacked. At the end of the day, it's the supporters that hold all the aces with regard to football clubs. We are the biggest contribution of money. If we don't pay up, there's no club. Obviously the board don't need to listen and carry on, but it was us that forced their hand to get rid of him. Who ever the new manager is, I hope he can build a good squad, who play decent, attractive football. If he doesn't, then yes we can have the old "better the devil you know" quotes will get branded about. But that "devil" made us eyebleedingly pish to watch, with some comical defending (particularly at set-pieces). No invention of tactical awareness, and unable to really change what he saw in front of him when it was going against us. The squad we had this season should really have made a better go at the play-offs than what transpired. I don't care what anyone says. The new manager better get that play-off spot at the first time of asking, or we may find ourselves in the exactly the same scenario next season... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I miss Gary Glen, no one ever had a bad word to say about our Gary. Gary Glen was fucking shite! Didn't score one goal for us. Useless! Boo!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm not fussed who we get. We seem to be stuck with rummaging about in the diddy leagues for diddy club managers. Just pick one and let's get on with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahoorsir Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Murray had lost the fans and I guess the board were probably concerned about poor season ticket sales so felt they had to get rid of him. For me he was an average manager and, from the outside, it probably looked like he did a good job, like Lennon at St Mirren but, ultimately fans vote with their season ticket cash. For every Jose Mourinho though, there's a John Potter so we could definitely have done worse. Since he was sacked the club has resigned McGurn and seem to be trying to get McKinnon, who seems to have Brechin playing good football. They are basically giving the fans everything they say they want so if we start booing after ten minutes when we concede after trying to pass the ball out of defence, hell mend us. At least, after a short, but pish, playing spell with us he'll have the useful attribute of experience of being booed at Stark's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 McKinnon scored a beautiful goal along at Ochilview. In off he bar from about 35 yards. All I recall of his tenure. On another note, I'd love Cardle back at the club. About 10 goals and 15 assists for us, wasn't all that bad. Could have been more, granted. But we shouldn't be turning our noses up at players like him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
