The New Raith Rovers Thread

[Poet of the Macabre]

Happy for you guys as I know how big a legend McGlynn is at Starks. Unsure if he's the right guy for you but at least he's a fan favourite and no one can get on at the board if it doesn't work.

Having watched the Raith TV interview and listened to the Rock Sport interview I'm feeling positive about McGlynn, although worried about the state of our current injury list. 
It will be interesting to see who be brings in. He mentions speaking to someone at Celtic and also contacts at other clubs, of which I would assume Levein is an obvious assumption. He did well by us when he was at United and McGlynn was in charge.

Most fans seem on board with his appointment with just a few murmurs of you should never go back etc. I think having watched many a gutless performance the past few seasons getting someone in who was known for his throw everything at it attitude, that he expects from his players as well will see us good. It's hard to argue he didn't do a great job in his last stint, losing out on the league to yourselves wasn't even that bad considering we had punched well above our weight that whole season. Although Simmons at lm and mcneil starting in goal was his biggest mistakes as a manager Imo.

Is it all real though?

 

 

Or is it just John Greer in disguise?

Listening to his interview on the OS the biggest thing he said to me was the need to get video analysis back. I wasn't aware we'd stopped that...was that a decision by Smith or the board?

Sounds like he's learned more especially since being at Celtic. By god the players will realise how much of a holiday it's been working under Smith by the end of this week.

They were apparently running through brick walls for cat... Hope their ready to see what that actually means.

You know the old fiat saying? Fix it again tomorrow. Why else would oor John drive it. He knows he gets to put the graft in again to make it better.

I recall in one of Smith's interviews that they'd had a really good facility for that at Michael Woods but were struggling to find the same space/equipment at Starks

Difference being Smith strikes me as the type of guy that will just moan about it, while Mcglynn will be out sourcing a JVC Handycam second hand from Lennoxtown and just cracking on with it. 

Great interview and it just shows you how much we've missed his general enthusiasm about the day to day task of working with the players.

I think Darren Jackson is still sleeping in the last one?

Good morning!

Not sure if the Fiat was John’s or if that bit of film was just done for effect.

If it is his though, it proves he’s a real man and hung like a donkey. No man with a tiny tadger would drive a car like that!

I think Smiths gripe about the video analysis was that he had it and it was a good set up but when they moved, he didn't have it and was more or less told it's too expensive so make do with what you've got. McG highlighted its impotence and he has a strong need for it.

I get the impression there's going to be a lot of trust put in McGlynn and what he says (within reason) will go. Young, Sim and Clark have all said over the last couple of years the managers won't be given free reign on all football decisions after the whole Locke signing his pals situation. I think this will change for J McG and I think if he needs something that's going to cost money, the BoD will be going out and looking for the funds.
