Let's face it they haven't been able to get over here due to covid so when they do that will make a big difference. At the moment all they've been fed is complete tosh by deans and his crew about how everything is hunky dory. They need to see the mess with their own eyes and hear about the issues from people out with Deans's cabal. I certainly haven't heard anything from the crunchie boys that would point the finger at Rawlins for the issues they have faced. Local bod members causing all the issues there I think. It's a global world these days , the Rawlins don't have to "get over here" to understand the mess we are in , they only need to look at the League table , the 3rd tier one. If they are gullible enough to be fobbed off by Deans and Co then I despair. I'd rather think their appetite might have waned as they realize we are a very long way from being the cash cow their initial investment expected. Either way their involvement thus far has been hugely MEH! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPar Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Could be the Inverness job, as Robertson has been moved upstairs to DOF. Fox has links with Hearts as well I think.

Proudtobeabairn Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Not in the slightest bit excited about the prospect of Rice. He's utterly miserable in his interviews and I can't see how he would command or motivate the dressing room. He's also disliked by Accies fans and comes with plenty of personal baggage. Would steer well clear. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 We're still inviting applicants until 5pm tomorrow but it's being suggested on CTO that it's a box ticking exercise and our next manager has been chosen. I think it'll be Fox. He's ex-The Caley and is good mates with Robbo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's obvious on the field that we are struggling but I was talking more about the club as a whole. Difficult to get the full picture when all your having are zoom meetings with one or two people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far far more than any player at this club has for the last 3/4 years. In terms of being miserable, this season he has burst out in a few interviews but at least gave his honest opinion which on the whole is refreshing to hear even if its with a dour face. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked there under Levein too if I mind right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man had an illness ffs and has done very well to turn that around. I've been affected by the same thing he did and if you don't give somebody the chance and support to turn it around then your not really worth working for. Credit to Hamilton for giving him that support. If Rice happened to apply for the role and if he got interviewed, his past problems would not even be up for discussion.

Probably the most deplorable poster on the forum who has recently had an issue with our players taking a knee and the social media blackout to name a couple. Snide comments about illness and addiction is right in his wheelhouse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay- yes I did recall it was gambling on football matches. Serious, I would have thought for a football coach but if it was to do with a mental illness, pleased that he has been helped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 It’s a funny old game. People who’d want Rice despite him being relegated with Hamilton. People not wanting Grant because he’s been relegated with Alloa. Now granted (pardon the pun) that’s mostly folk on COYB with that opinion.Fox would be a disaster based on his spell at Cowdenbeath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
