SirJimmyofNic Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 (edited) 26 minutes ago, Right in the Stanchion said: It's strange how defensive fans can become when their club does something absolutely wild. Fair, I'll concede that i thought Barrowman was at Kelty when Courts was there. However, to split hairs, it was 4th place with United and was let go mutually without huge resistance from the board. The idea that someone like him, or any of the other in the mix - even McCabe, is going to instantly propel you to the next level that Murray managed is completely baseless. That is indeed what the board seem to be seeking according to their actions - a fast-track to the SPL. So unless something internal has gone on and it's being kept from the public - I'm sorry but people are perfectly justified in describing binning Murray one game into the season as somewhat shambolic. Okay performances tailed off since Christmas - but you were still a two-legger from the SPL. The arrogance to consider that as somehow not good enough given the trajectory you've taken the previous few seasons (which is all over the place) is galling. Whoever comes in, or had Murray stayed on, the reality of the division is there are a cluster of teams who are going to take points off Raith Rovers all season and the best you are realistically going to hope for again is a title challenge - not to mention the fact that the chances of a complete player revolt/chuck-in have now been increased tenfold. Fair few good points there, I dont know what the boards aspirations were/are for this season, somethings went wrong somewhere, ever since what happened with Ross Millen it's not been right. If some players were to chuck it I dont think they'd be here long Edited August 8 by SirJimmyofNic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our football has become predictable and without a plan B. We couldn't capitalise on a faltering DUFC when it mattered, and all of these things put together with what looked like the same old same old in the league cup and away to Airdrie fall into his lap. That's what's done for him - not a club sense of entitlement or air of superiority. I'm comfortable there's not much more to it than that. Whispers and rumours of other things may be just that, but if they're anything more, then the decision is still the correct one.

Chrisrush1471 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I don't think anything has went on behind the scenes, but I also think it's an unhinged decision to make after one league game. If it was an issue he should have went after the playoffs, no point giving him the summer. Either someone they didn't think would be available has become it, or promotion is the only goal he they had a snap decision that he wasn't going to deliver it. Based on the names banded about, and who's available the manager who finished second in the league last season probably seems the best candidate though. Two things I really don't understand with out fans though, is that you can actually think it was right to get rid of Murray and also mental to do it after one league game, like, they don't contradict each other at all. And we all thought the recruitment was class, but now it's apparently an aging squad that Murray assembled? But it doesn't matter that we didn't give someone else the summer to get their players in, because Potter and Barrowman are in charge of that. As a fanbase can we make our minds up on that please? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it could be anyone but both Scott Brown and Tam Courts are fifers and could potentially one be related to Hannah, Stevenson, Byrne or Nicholson. Wullie Gibson would go down well with the fans... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen his Kelty team and having seen his record at the pars, he's better suited to not being the manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won this league on 3 occasions and as far as I'm aware he's unattached? Neilson would have been fine in that he's such a detestable p***k I would feel no guilt in turning my guns on him when things went wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
