Guest Back Post Misses Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 10 hours ago, Its not only a game said: Miller was player manager of Livingston, that didn't last long. He was also assistant coach at both Newcastle Jets and Western Sydney Wanders, again both didn't last long. He has experience of short term appointments which must be a worry or risk Don’t think anyone should look into anything at Livingston. Martindale was making subs while Miller was warming up one game and not even speaking to Miller. No wonder he walked there. Don’t know the situation in Australia. He was Rennie’s choice so clearly a trust there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Back Post Misses Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Just now, Believe The Hype said: Final say on a shortlist supplied by holt does not fill me with confidence either. If that is what holt does, again nobody, including people as in the the know as can be don't even know what he does. Its pathetic the club have shown no transparency on this. If that has happened and they are all shit they won’t sign them. I am convinced Rennie and Miller will have their own list anyway. As far as the transparency goes I think it is required, but he has been there for 12 months and Deans and his merry band did not make it clear either. As I said the priority for me has to be improving that squad in January, Holt is a side show. I am confident Rennie and Miller will do that and it will be their choices not players that have been forced on them. They will live or die by that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbri Bairn Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 The fact you are having to explain this is scary. No, there are no U.S. “professional” teams using a sweeper, in the classic sense.The system that worked for decades was Keeper2 Full Backs1 Centre Half2 Half Backs2 Wingers2 inside forwards1 Centre ForwardIt is so old it could now be called new and revolutionary Bring it back! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bula Bairn Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Top priority is getting rid of Holt. Inexcusable the "new board" haven't sacked him yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilostmyself Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Being reported that Goodwillie is close to signing for Raith but we are interested too. Been done to death but just to reiterate, no fucking thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute nonsense, it was his recruitment that f*cked us up. As long as he is here he has influence otherwise what are we paying him for? Tell your mates on the board to give him his jotters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 As said before, wouldn’t be at any home or away game until the player, Holt, and any current board member had left the club if goodwillie was signed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I really don’t think the Goodwillie rumours will come to anything. This transfer was binned before so I can’t see why the new board would let it go through as one of their first involvements at the club. As said above, the only way I could see it happening is through pure desperation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 The Goodwillie chat has been ongoing for years in our fan base so it's not surprising we're suposedly after him. Declan Gallagher played with Scotland having caved somebodies head in with a baseball bat. Marcos Alonso plays at the highest level even though he killed someone whilst drink driving in Spain. Numerous different examples of it in football which obviously doesn't make it right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 The only time Gary Holt has impressed me was when he dismissed the possibility of signing Goodwillie at the Q & A. If he’s going full panto villain and reversing that decision and we sign him then I seriously am done with the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Ex-poster (PeterLeFleur) here in the desperate attempt to join the fans against Goodwillie signing. I’m genuinely stunned the board are even considering this move and semi-terrified it could happen through desperation of our current position in the league table. I urge anyone who is for this transfer to read the civil case notes thoroughly again and then put the case into context if it was your daughter, sister etc involved. A truly disgusting act and not someone I’d want representing our club. Also slightly baffled at the chat of ATS signing for us. Arguably our strongest positions are LB and LCB and we go and sign another. I can only assume Dixon is maybe out longer term.Ehm, it would be interested to know what your source of this information is before we start having a go at the board?… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangemouth Bairn Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 1 hour ago, Back Post Misses said: I have no idea what his role is and I have already said it should be clarified. I think the top priority however is to get players in and ensure the squad is improved dramatically in January. That, from the interviews I have heard, will be for Rennie and Miller to decide not Holt. If his role is to highlight players to sign and Rennie and Miller say no to all of them then his role is pointless. Money that all people who attend games, buy merchandise, pay for their kids to play for the youth teams etc etc contribute towards his wages and deserve more respect from the board around what his role is and what he is giving from a productive point of view. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bairn88 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Aaron Taylor Sinclair? 32 games in 4 years in a position we are fairly strong in (or at least, is nowhere near a priority)? If he’s an early signing my head is going to fall off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to Rennie’s first interview I fully appreciate you also want Holt removed BPM, however serious question, if he isn't deciding on the players and rennie and Miller are, what is his use? if its to negotiate contracts, he's proved he does this badly too. I really don't see the point of him, and never have. it's a fact he takes a sizeable salary which could be used more effectively. he is arrogant, he's recruited his son, he's been involved in our worst period in living memory. if the new board want everyone on board they need to disassociate themselves from him immediately by making his role redundant. I'm utterly disappointed they haven't done this already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
