fatdoug1938 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 It's a difficult one for me. Started with us in 9th in League 1 and finished in the same spot. It's difficult to say whether we'd have won the league without Fash last year but it would have been close. I feel Naysmith's huge likeability makes him very popular with the fans however so it makes it sad to see him go. Was the football on offer fantastic? Maybe not but I think he'll do well with a FT team.New manager thoughts? I'd like to go outside the box and try someone like a Stuart Milne type. Got his A licence and doing well at St Andrews Uni. Alongside someone experienced. That or Jim Moffat !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised to see Ian Murray showing a bit of interest in this job. I also wouldn't be surprised if he ended up doing quite well - though his choice of assistant would be crucial.Just a guess mind you, I am not #ITK here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taysider99 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 What about tam courts doing a great job at kelty a forward thinking manager who could do a great job 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed hearn Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 A vital appointment given the league position and current form.Convinced that Gary Naysmith would have kept us up but a difficult job for a new manager with a tiny squad including 4 loanees.We no longer have a natural left back at the club.The transfer window will be make or break so preferably someone with current knowledge of lower league players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benitez Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I think Tam Courts would be the right man to replace Naysmith. Young manager who has done a great job at Kelty and could bring in some of the better players from the junior game to bolster our squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERSOUTH Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 What is Naysmiths management style seems like he is a hard worker, was he still playing as well as managing you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Fife Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Disappointed, but that's the name of the game when following East Fife. I quite liked Naysmith. I think he was honest most definately still learning. The support are patient with him and that's a revelation in itself at Bayview! Personally i think QotS has come way too early for him and he'll be found wanting. Another season or two at Bayview and who knows? He's got it wrong this season and the league table doesn't lie. Squad is threadbare and that lies with him. No excuse for that really. That said, he's left us where he found us and looks as though yet another relegation battle is on the cards. Do I wish him well? Not really. He's left us 2nd bottom and with a squad barely capable of mustering a decent starting 11. Do i wish him good luck? Well, yes. He's going to need it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewan_fife Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 All the best to Gary. A genuine, honest and hardworking guy who deserves a crack at full time football. He done everything he could for us, he never had an excuse for anything, always gave 100%. Even though we are 9th in the league, Gary will be greatly missed and leaves on good terms. A very likeable manager who I hope to see managing in the top flight in a couple of years. Hope to see a big crowd at Meadowbank on Monday to give Gary the send off he deserves, mtf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

east fife for life Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I'm genuinely shocked he's got move to bigger club as he's left us in shit state. Good luck to Gary all the same 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthefife Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 With sound financial backing and the opportunity to have a crack at Full Time football, I see no reason why Naysmith won't be a success. Obviously gutted but I wish him and Dougie all the best at QoS. Getting the right replacement in will be crucial now in our current situation. Would love to bring back John Robertson who had EF playing some the best football I'd seen from us in recent years. Obviously can't happen due to travel issues. Kevin Smith player/manager? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuggfifer Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 We need a manager appointed before the Brechin game. Give him the opportunity to assess the squad over 3 games before the window opens. I have a feeling we will need 6 new faces in new year.Remember the playing squad will also reduce by 1 after Monday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
east fife for life Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 We need an experienced manager! f**k appointing another rookie. Dick Campbell fits the bill, knows the lower leagues inside out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised to see Ian Murray showing a bit of interest in this job. I also wouldn't be surprised if he ended up doing quite well - though his choice of assistant would be crucial.Just a guess mind you, I am not #ITK here. That's the first thing that came into my head when I seen Naysmith was on his way to Queens.Although I did get the impression he felt he was above part-time football towards the end of his time with ourselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
