Until Macnamara's role is properly defined to us, it is left open to insinuation. Consultant to the board, not consultant to the first team manager. Whilst the role itself is indeed open and not clearly defined, I'm confident in ruling out 'undermining the manager and making signings he will personally profit from'. I'm even confident in ruling out 'having a say in signings'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieStevenson Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Andy Ryan would be a useful squad player. I'm just hoping we can get something out of him for the investment that was put in. Excited yet nervous for the rebuild. As part of that rebuild I'd obviously like a new manager but I think it's clear we're stuck with Crawford until he relegates us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose he can make recommendations to Crawford and Shields, but it will be Crawford who has the final say. Not sure who is doing the scouting.

My mate was saying to me that we'd been scouting players for a while with regards to next season and had already made movements, in that regards it seemed better than AJ who left it quite late,and due to his way of acquiring players a bit different. AJ would only really want to sign a player he had seen play multiple times, really only trusted his own judgement. Before this season that was a pretty solid way tbf. He also said we'd been looking at players from outwith Scotland, at that point I got all sweaty and started envisioning a Falkirk scenario. I got reassured that Falkirk had been signing players they'd never even watched and that wasn't the case with us. So someone must be scouting somewhere, hopefully. Didn't get told any names or anything close to being that specific. I've also got no idea what role McNamara has but I'll genuinely be shocked if he isn't involved in the scouting side of things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Stevie was on the same train as me coming back from Edinburgh last year. This was before he got the job, but he said he had been down in Scarborough( I know they went bust, but must be another team close by) looking at a player. Apparrently the player had decided to move else where by the time he got down there. Does appear that we have been exploring that market though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parxyz Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 No real surprises with that bunch tbh.Just hope we emulate the 2015/16 Pars season and not the 2018/19 Falkirk season. Time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 If McNamara isn’t getting some sort of financial reward for bringing in players then what exactly is in it for him? Is the flat fee the club pay that good? Again, not saying this isn’t the case but don’t understand how he benefits from this relationship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 He and his company are to provide 'ongoing technical support' to the board. There was never anything said about him bringing players in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
