Guest Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I think the general direction of the Telfer chat was that he was better than both McGuffie and Nesbitt. The only reason he left was because his contract was up, and FFC chose not to renew. Neither McGuffie nor Nesbitt were kept in preference to Telfer. If their contracts had expired in June, they’d be gone too. Not reading anyone wanting Telfer back on the books let alone describing him as any sort of saviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had been with another club and available for McGLynn to sign would he have taken him on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Looking forward to Saturdays game. Unexpected free Saturday allows M&S valuable rest time for players, to get injuries, niggles and knocks sorted. ( and correct team selection) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely couldn’t answer that. I would be of the opinion that he wouldn’t. However, McGlynn had his budget, and had he wished, he may have been able to sign him up as a free agent, but he didn’t, so in terms of probability it seems unlikely, but that’s nothing more than an uninformed opinion as I don’t have a clue as to how McGlynn evaluates such things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? McGlynn had the chance to offer him a new deal. He didn’t. That for me tells you what McGlynn thought of him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shodwall cat Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Mcglynn didn't rate a single player on our books before he came in including telfer. He'd have binned every single one of them if he had had the chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Doesn’t need to have an inside leak, any decent manager would have thought WTF, and how could anyone amass such a pile of shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t have to be ITK to be aware that a manager can offer an out of contract player a new contract if he wants him! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to demotivate a workforce you are going to manage there is nothing more certain in achieving that by telling them they are not rated. McGlynn has a reputation as a good man manager and motivator, so I doubt the credibility of the person that told you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id guess Telfer was on decent money with us also The auntie baws McGuffie, Nesbitt debate over Telfer is as pointless as this one too tho, he is an Airdrie player now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he? He’s clearly an excellent coach, and his recruitment is generally very good but I’ve heard from numerous people down the years his man management and interpersonal stuff can leave something to be desired. Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if he made that known (the not rated thing) to a few players. 22 minutes ago, MrDust said: McGlynn does tend to like his players around the 6ft mark also. Don’t get this either. His sides of recent years have been smaller than a good few in our league, he signed Aidan Connolly… Edited September 13, 2022 by Enigma 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Connolly is better than any of the shite we’ve still got, strange he hardly played but seems he’s a first slot for RR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Connolly is better than any of the shite we’ve still got, strange he hardly played but seems he’s a first slot for RR.Didn't he fall put with Miller and McCracken? He came onto a real game in his last season with us and was disappointed to lose him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
