I have absolutely nothing against the guy on a personal level but he doesn't look well I thought that too. Almost looks in a state of shell shock. In all seriousness though, I think he might walk away at the end of the season. He looks nothing like he did 3 months ago. As much as its easy to have a pop at him (I have plenty times), the guy has left his family for a lo g period to join this shit-show. I honestly think he may just be counting down the games. If the board keep him on and he agreed, its a long term deal given his circumstances. Something which I don't think we can afford. I don't see him moving his family over here if he doesn't have long term job security. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 From that to that. He’ll go with nothing but my best wishes. This job just seems too big for a novice at present. Experience needed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in favour a few weeks ago but the arguments for retaining him are becoming lesser by the week. Probably mentioned elsewhere but Queens Park have operated with their SD, who has never managed in Britain, for almost as long as we've had Rennie and Coyle won't start until June yet they will finish miles ahead of us in reality. Rennie has completely failed the task set and we should just cut out losses now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 29 minutes ago, Reggie Perrin said: Football contracts are very different from other commercial employment contracts. Have you ever heard of a footballer having a 3 or 6 month probationary period or being made redundant? Gross misconduct would be just about the only way of sacking them without compensation and whilst we may think that some of the performances would merit that it obviously doesn’t apply. Can’t think of another occupation where you can completely fail in your job and be safe from sacking for the length of your contract. I agree but surely the contracts are heavily weighted on certain milestones, promotion, play offs, games played, points etc. So guys like MacKay signs a three year deal and we must honour it unless we pay him off ? Even if he decides to down tools or continues to underperform? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1876 ffc Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 MR is an easy imposter and nowhere close to being a competent football manager. And great hearing in previous posts that a swear word will never pass his lips. However he’s was complicit in trying to sign a rapist. Get him and his apologists as far away as possible from our club. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) He conducts himself with a great deal of dignity, and thankfully avoided any chat from LC on the “it’s 6 points and still 5 games to play” chat. I would imagine that a win() or a draw against Montrose next week, and a QP loss to Cove will have the “we can still do it” voices back on song, but we all know what we are watching, and it’s a shambolic mess. I genuinely believe I have to go back to our centenary year to unearth anything as bad as this. This is not a confidence thing. This is a hopelessly unbalanced side populated by two or three decent players (Dowds and Telfer), and a huge number of players who would rather be anywhere else, or simply don’t care enough. To bring in 7 in January, but still not have any sort of midfield worthy of the name has been the death knell for both manager and club. It’s a horrible mess, and MR hasn’t put so much as a dent in it. If it’s not Dumbarton or EF, we don’t win. It actually doesn’t feel ridiculous to entertain the idea that we might not win another game this season.

Dawson Park Boy Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I have been someone who desperately wanted MR to succeed but, regrettably, I must admit defeat and acknowledge that he doesn’t ‘cut the mustard’. Sorry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue incompetence if you were so minded, but the original point was about going unpunished for criminality, something the Westminster criminal cartel manage with breathtaking aplomb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be political ( honestly ) but I have been doing some business with Ferguson recently and they admit that the many faults lie with them and it would be a realistic option to scrap the ships and start again ( won’t happen ). Inexperienced management can be calamitous whether in a shipyard or a football club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
