I can’t remember where I read he’d turned it down. Sorry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irosshed and I was wrong Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Starting to lose patience with this ‘process’. Barrowman has backed himself into a corner here and if we a) don’t have a new manager in charge with time for impact on Saturday or b) vastly improve things and have a genuine run at the title he should lose his job IMO. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love that again, as things stand I can’t see us there any time soon, oh and f**k the traitorous OF 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith fans' frustration because they don't have a manager is hardly his concern. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup very true, it is coming from a place of frustration if I’m honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I am. Our season is on a knife edge just now when it didn’t need to be. Appoint someone decent in the next couple of days and it’ll all feel good again. If the process drags on another week and we don’t get a win against Livi, the knifes will be out! 1 minute ago, SirJimmyofNic said: Has he not got money invested in the project, and if so who's gonna buy him out No I don’t think so. I just think that Dean McKenzie brought him along as he’s worked with him at Kelty. I can’t see him ever binning his mate though which isn’t exactly great for business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Chris Kane stopped at Harthill around the same time as our bus, he came out the pisser surrounded by Rovers fans and looked a wee bit lost. Had a quick chat with him, he was asking about Byrne's red card and how we played, begrudgingly wished him all the best for the season but did mention that I hope we make it 6 in a row next month, his response was "well I never played in any of the last 5" Seemed to be a genuinely nice bloke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Barrowman is doing fine. We've been unfortunate in that a few candidates have opted to remain where they are. We've at bare minimum turned the head of a manager who is in charge of a team who play in the opening stages of Europe most seasons and who has won multiple titles and cups, while also having experience at the top level of football. Our CEO has presided over a period of growth at the club both in terms of season tickets, crowds and has overseen our highest placed league position in years. Time will tell what the financials are like, but generally speaking if you'd asked before a ball was kicked how we were doing everyone would've said we were fine, although you'd be hoping for an uptick in performances. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 People are assuming that things would have been better with Murray still in charge, and that the boards decision to sack him is the reason behind a tricky start to the season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an unanswerable question would Murray have turned it around? We'll never know. What it has done though is started to pile pressure onto the club. Another couple of weeks without an appointment and it'll be toxic and not just on here. Keep the faith and trust the board has an expiry date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. While I'm not thrilled at the length of time it's taking to get someone in, I'm fairly confident we'd be no better off points wise if Murray was still in charge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 You would've thought that if the Board/Barrowman wasn't happy with performances (this after giving him a 3 year extension), then they surely had to ask what the problem was and what they needed to do to improve things, or did they after the wheels started coming off not long after, did Murray identify the potential signings and then Potter went out and got them, bad performances aside I just dont understand why he got sacked with such haste with nothing in the pipeline to replace him......... there has to be more to it than what's been said 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clear that we've had a shortlist of candidates but then had to branch out. That's still an improvement on getting to a Liam Fox, Billy Dodds or Neil McCann and going "well, we'll take you off the merry-go-round for 5 months". If Healy comes in, he's at least got the track record of winning things even if people maybe don't rate the quality of the league. Much in the same if we offer the job to Clancy of Cork who has them comfortably top of the second tier in Ireland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Just on the subject of Healy, this is an interesting piece, albeit from season 21/22 Despite securing a fourth consecutive title at the end of the 2021–22 season, Healy stated that he had "never quite won the supporters over" and that online abuse was starting to affect his family.[72][73] He was named as Manager of the Year for the fourth time at the annual Northern Ireland Football Awards.[74] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
