Been going too long Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 2 minutes ago, Broken Algorithms said: Fwiw, I'd like us to at least interview Marvin Bartley for the job. Plenty of coaching and comes across in a really intelligent manner. There were rumours regarding him for the Ayr job, and obviously comes as a gamble. The only other name I can think of would be Jack Ross, but that's one of those "name fans want to be linked, but who won't be near the applicant's list". I can’t see jack Ross fancying the job under current board tbh and dealing with the fallout of this. He would be a great appointment just don’t think it’s realistic at the moment. Bartley a huge gamble , big job for your first in current climate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Yeah, I was dreading listening to Jim Spence as he can be a bit of a 'yer da' type, but he was actually pretty fair. Graham Spiers has a very strange obsession with defending sex offenders. An absolute danger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we wanted to gamble on an experienced player going through his badges there’s one already at the club in Berra, but he’s too big a player right now to be considered.

craigkillie Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Embarrassing for Spiers that even a complete wrongun like Spence doesn't come away with as much shite as he did. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaithRyan Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Kevin Thomson interviewed well for the Killie job apparently and was down to the final 2. I know he’s only in his first role with a Kelty team chucking a fair amount of coin at it. But he always comes across quite well when I’ve heard him speak/ read reports. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt Jim was quite pragmatic about the situation and only briefly touched on to the "muh rehabilitation" that the oddball Graham Spiers seems to utterly obsessed with. Not sure why some of the more experienced journalists seem to think that Goodwillie, a man who shows absolute zero sign of remorse other than for the fact he "drives a banger", would be looking to rehabilitate. This. They couldn't get Queens Park winning with the second biggest budget in that league. And we would want him as manager. No thanks. 2nd biggest budget in a league below and failed to win them games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was saying if we didn't go up McGlynn wasn't getting his contract renewed and we were looking to bring in......Csaba Laszlo. Get Gary Glen in as assistant manager or coach? I think that’s where it all went wrong went we didn’t sign him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJimmyofNic Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Lets just keep McGlynn and Smudger to seasons end and see where we are as far as the future of the club is concerned, as I have already said they are out of contract then anyway. You cant make plans until theres a clear picture that the club is not in danger of closure, someone has to find new sponsors from somewhere and another source of income for season tickets that will not be sold to those not returning 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers_Lad Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) 48 minutes ago, RaithRyan said: No I agree with you wholeheartedly, they are all culpable 100% and there needs to be accountability taken. A lot of people on the fence around the management, but my comment was merely to say that, if the statements to go by, and if it’s been made for footballing reasons then that suggests McGlynn’s pushed it as he’s the man who’s in charge of the footballing side or things, therefore they should go. Fair enough but an article in the Courier suggested it was Sim that was the driver behind the signing Anyway,the driver,the pusher,the negotiator, the directors that voted in favour,christ,even the person that passed the pen to DG to sign on the dotted line are culpable Edited February 4, 2022 by Rovers_Lad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) To be fair from what I’ve heard all the players loved Locke and all the staff I’ve heard from have said he was a lovely guy, in the office every day, knew everyone’s name and spent a lot of time at Stark’s (in contrast to McKinnon who was hardly ever at the stadium outside match day). He just wasn’t/isn’t a football manager. Edited February 4, 2022 by Enigma 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ro Sham Bo Posted February 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) £1,150 pw for 2 and a half years, and £50k transfer fee, for someone who is almost 33 and had been playing in the bottom two divisions in Scotland for the last 5 years is absolute madness, even if there were no other factors at play in the decision. For that sort of spend I'm sure we could've attracted a reasonable number of targets whose signature wouldn't have torn the club apart.

TBH a decision that stupid for any non sex-offending part-time 33 year old striker should have seen a complete punting of all involved anyway. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
