Mad. I don't quite think you understand the hoofball we've had to endure for the last two seasons. Hoofball to Conor Sammon who shrinks when he jumps. People used to moan in the Yogi days about us just continously playing sidewards but I'd take a big dose of side to side right now over what we've been served up. Even when we were top of the league our fans were moaning about how terrible the football had been this season which speaks volumes. The next manager just needs to have a clue what they are doing and the only way to work that out is to have a proper application process with interviews. Peter Grant and Stuart Taylor are the only names i've seen touted so far. Airdrie should put us out our misery tomorrow night so we can focus on next year. Mutch New New Dixon Kelly Morrison New Telfer New Dowds Keena If we can offload Alston and Miller it would be a bonus, I wouldn't be bothered about the rest that are under contract for next season staying.

Maybe you should just get the best manager you can, as generally winning football is enjoyable football.

They weren't at the club at the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Grant would have been in and around Norwich even if it was to watch his two sons so they'll know of eachother.

Shadwell Dog Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Alloa is one of those clubs that is eventually going to get relegated eventually. Every season is a battle to stay up. His CV is a lot stronger than most of the dross we will be looking at. If Arbroath and Raith can get out of league one then it's not going to cost a fortune to do it. You just need to spend the money a lot better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for simplifying the full process for us, is there a place the best managers normally stand or go to eat that you'd recommend we start our search? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You generally get a bunch of them to give you their CVs, interview them, then pick the best one. Understand Falkirk aren't familiar with this process, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dowds and Keena both have to go for me. Neither have done anything of note all season. Keena is still under contract but there may be interest in taking him off our hands. I’ve no idea why we would want to offer Dowds an extension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any manager worth his salt should be able to put a team together with our budget to get us in the mix to get out of this league. Too many shite bag players thinking it's going to be an easy pay day though have been picked up in the past two seasons. That has to change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stainrod Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 1 hour ago, BountyBairn said: Agreed. I honestly can’t think of anyone, and we are probably a poor choice - getting into a habit of sacking folk. Wonder if anyone in any of Rawlins previous ventures in football would be suitable / available. Only if he can be the agent I suspect . I’d give Peter grant a very short term deal to see if he can change things and get us up ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Can see us getting beat tomorrow but Montrose also failing to win thus prolonging the misery. Morton will then absolutely fist us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
