CALDERON Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 3 minutes ago, DITSOR said: At worst with 3 points after 3 games, without a managerial vacancy, intact reputation and without national embarrassment? Could easily have been left with zero points to be fair. Murrays interview after the Airdrie game would have set alarm bells ringing if he wasn't given the bullet so soon after. National embarrassment is a bit much, although it does look like the club are making a bit of arse of this- the optics are not good - regardless of how it's come about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irosshed and I was wrong Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 1 minute ago, Kooz92 said: I don't understand where he has failed? He's sacked our manager after one league game and had no plan in place for replacing him. That's how he's failed. Him making such a bold decision without the new manager already agreed is simply a failure, I'm not sure how anyone can suggest otherwise? He's our CEO, it's his job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 2 minutes ago, Kooz92 said: He did move fast. Peter Leven knocked us back 2 weeks ago and we were refused permission to speak to Diarmud O'Carrol. We then went and agreed personal terms with David Healy last week only for Linfield to beat us out. I don't understand where he has failed? Is he meant to hold a managerial candidate hostage at gunpoint and force them to sign the contract? We've failed to appoint our preferred options, should we just panic and appoint some random dross? Absolute nonsense I think on here seems to be, that is exactly where this is headed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute nonsense I've been happy to cut the board as a whole some slack, but this is our best season to get to the top flight in goodness knows how many years, and we've spent almost all of August with no manager, no right backs, fewer forward options than last season and our best midfielder may or may not want away. I'm going to suggest something has went wrong somewhere. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute nonsense Wouldn't be professional if we'd already had talks with potential managers prior to sacking our current manager. Look at the shithosery that McKinnon did with us and Dundee united 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the shithosery that McKinnon did with us and Dundee united The only relevent data point there is that United (for better or worse) got the man they wanted.

There was a plan in place. Like I said, we were refused permission to speak to one target and another declined. You think we should be a business who goes out and agrees to sign a new manager while the current manager is still in the role? Talk about a bad reputation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to suggest something has went wrong somewhere. I wouldn't disagree but I find it strange for people to be claiming we should sack Barrowman and he hasn't had a plan when we've evidently been trying to appoint people and they've not panned out. The answer to fixing our managerial issue is to sack the CEO who is responsible for filling the vacancy? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geniuses Well if you are going to f**k your reputation by sacking a guy one game in, you may as well be consistent about it and have his replacement tapped up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
