Our last manager was an ex OF player? What exactly are you thinking they'll take us through over? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see Ayr being under any kind of BBC or any other media spotlight, so why would we be different 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 2 hours ago, Been going too long said: You could be right with that scenario as much as I would hate that ,that for me shows a lack of forward planning by the board and a knee jerk reaction. Hopefully it is resolved sooner rather than later not because I wet the bed because as others have said we want a couple of new players in and would like our new manager/coach to choose them and it should be our no 1 priority now Why? Let’s say they were considering replacing Murray at the end of the season, but elected to allow him to try to show development through the Cup and early games. They had spoken in general terms to agents of managers or possibly some managers who were out of contract (they have to be very circumspect due to tampering rules) earlier due to IM’s dalliance with interviews for other jobs. They have some interest from a couple of people, but no offers were exchanged. Then IM crashes out of the Cup with stodgy performances and the first game is well, meh. The BoD decides to pull the trigger, and Barrowman is sent out with his press hat on to lull the faithful. The fact it’s taking longer could easily be explained by an effort to get a top ranked manager, which would take time. Leaking names would risk inflating the contract demands of the eventual candidate or (more likely) his/her* present side. *And, no, I don’t think the BoD is planning on a female coach…if we were in League One, it might be a stroke of genius, but until a female coach has a good showing in League One or Two, it’s unlikely a Championship or Premiership side will pull the trigger, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had an "ex OF player" as manager for last 2 years? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Wonder what Gary McCallister is doing these days...... but seriously we haven't asked permission to speak to anyone yet, or it would've been leaked to the media by now, some folk cant keep a secret or a tongue in there mouth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Interestingly of the 32 managers in our history, 11 have played or coached for the old firm. I've watched 9 of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountryBumpkin Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 3 minutes ago, Rovers_Lad said: Think I can say with a degree of certainty Scott Brown will be in the dug out next Saturday Depending on fitness levels, there might be two Scott Browns in the dugouts. This narrative of an ex OF manager must be a wind up that is whooshing past everyone, has to be. We've been in the media spotlight for the last year because of what we did on the field, it's safe to say the off field nonsense being referred to is over and unless we appointed the guy in question himself, it's not going to be brought up again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I disagree with you and I don’t think there is any regular posters on here pretending to be rovers fans but really Celtic fans without bus fares , maybe your bit of a rangers man though . Yes seen plenty of drama and will again but I don’t agree with you on this one but might be wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
