Don’t really think our problems are down to a couple of tin horses heads, more a case of a couple of old horses arses in the posh seats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McCann, Grant or Murray would all be decent enough appointments that are realistic. Admittedly none of the above are earth shattering exciting picks. Sporting Directors Ex team mate Grant will be the new manager for next season. Left his post at Alloa early to avoid any compensation allegedly stating he wanted a break from football but stayed long enough to oversee relegation. If nothing else should beat the wasps home and away next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see all clubs accounts for this season. The lack of hospitality and sponsorship, plus PATG punters will have taken it’s toll on a lot of clubs. We ended up having to hire additional staff and significant legal costs to deal with Covid issues. Then you have the additional costs of testing, additional transport, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad we managed to beat your overpaid team In 90minutes with so many academy players in our squad. Will be interesting to see how many millions your club have spunked this year? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bejazz1 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 My take on all this is accountability. I understand supporter’s frustration but Gary Holt is literary just put his foot in the door, he is filling in as interim coach and he made it clear he did not want the managers job when he was appointed. Generally as a rule of thumb when businesses fail it is usual for someone in the hierarchy to suffer the consequences. Our chairman is a prime example of this, he has been critical in the past of fans views but it appears he is failing to deliver what he was tasked to do, in the same boat as M&M. I know he comes across as a fairly decent chairman but the bottom line is he should be replaced as a a club we are failing big time under his stewardship. It’s all about consistency. Just like our team managersHouston - Failed- sackedHartley - Failed-sackedMcKinnon - Failed- sackedM&M - Failed-sackedAs a main figurehead within the club responsible for delivering and driving our 3/5/7/9 years strategy (whatever it as as it change) from month to month) I’m afraid to say is woeful with no sign of any improvement - It could be argued that we have not just stagnated but got worse. For me it inescapable - He should be replaced, not walk but simple be removed. Why has Gary Dean not been sacked yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The power of social media. In a pandemic it is the only way to gauge the opinions of fans and most of us wanted them out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggerG Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 1 hour ago, JulioBairn said: An apology at least shows they are accepting blame. These clowns probably still think they’ve done nothing wrong. The freed list doesn’t need to be “drawn up”. Everyone out of contract should be gone. Simply not up to it in terms of ability or effort. What has the fact we paid for 27 games and got 22 got to do with Rawlins? Yes I want Deans to resign and just because I don’t have an immediate answer as to who should take over doesn’t mean he should get away with it. He’s failed, he should resign. Aye, ok, I'll give you the apology bit, wouldn't do any harm, other than annoy some folk probably. The end of our season was last night, the BOD and Holt won't have had the chance to discuss a freed list as they won't have known what league we were going to be in. (I know, it was always going to be L1 but we were 4 minutes away from making the play-offs, so I'm sure you'll get my point.) I don't think any major financial decisions will be made without input from the Rawlins from here on in. I don't think he should get away with it either but I don't think him resigning would make any difference at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnschild Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 The perfect manager for us at the minute has to be Davie Robertson. Wants to come back over to Scotland and is the 'no nonsense' type manager we need. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
