The Arbroath Thread

Heard....Ray Mckinnon is of serious interest to Arbroath FC as is Gold and Hamilton 

This is classic wind up material but also has been sent by a boy who on occasion knows stuff. I’m choosing not to worry.

When its the right time, he'll come home.   I think deep down you know this, hence the weird obsession with touting McKinnon and trying to make it a "thing".  

When it's the right time....lol.

I know that, and that's why I said it's a huge 'if'.  

So you think that because he has a very good job outside football, he's more likely to move to a full time team in Fife than the biggest part time club in Angus?  Oh..kay.

And when are you "Bringing him home"

Let's face facts here you would have had to pay the former manager some sort of package not sure how much and don't really care that's a bill the board of directors wouldn't have really wanted to part with.SP has just signed a new deal just last week as well how ironic 😉 till the summer of 2027 no way their splashing the cash to get him in no way in a million years SP loves the Mo.

Insecure....ha ha a think that's you mate! Your not a championship club anymore L1 and bottom of the pile at present let that sink in!Don't get me wrong am sure that will change and you will get further up the league but AFC behind the scenes is not all as rosey as it was a few years ago every true fan knows that.

 

My work here is done

Why aren't AFC approaching Montrose then if it's that simple?

There's definitely Luis Figo/Mo Johnston/Sol Campbell vibes going on here.

If, and it's a huge if, Stewart Petrie was minded to move elsewhere I'd have thought that East End Park would be more likely that Gayfield.

Given his job no it is not to be fair 

 

Will not be Arbroaths next manager however

The only people mentioning McKinnon are Montrose fans on the wind up.  Its understandable though, I think they're just reacting out of fear that their manager will choose to up sticks and come and join the big club.

Not just Montrose fans, 99% of Forfar supporters too 😄

Hello all,

You asked, so I'll deliver. Thanks to the suggestion (forgive me I can't remember who said it) Bobby Linn is up for an interview in the near future. As I like to do with all of these, I love getting you guys involved. Are there any questions you would like me to ask Bobby about his time at the club or his career in general? Likewise are there any topics you would like me to cover, so we can get the best possible interview? Arbroath history isn't one of my specialist subjects, so I appreciate all the help 😅

Happy to be back bearing better news than the last time, hopefully a good gaffer in at Gayfield next🤞

No I don't, but if he WERE to the Dunfermline manager would be a more likely role IMO.

See whilst we are and have been extremely embarrassing on the park for about 2 year now it’s maybe best to just park this kind of stuff - even if it is just as a wind up 

 

Right now we’re more likely to be a league below Montrose next year than anything else (although you would hope that the tide would turn with group we’ve got) so this is the kind of time when you have to wind your neck in a bit to avoid looking very silly, again even if it is tongue in cheek 

 

Cannot be acting the billy big baws when we’re currently absolutely rotten

You've come a long way from the boy who screamed "NEGATIVITY!!!" at everyone who suggested that things weren't hunky dory.

What persuaded him to not only sign for Arbroath in the first place but to stay as long as he did. I’d imagine it’s more than the financial side

It's not often we see loyalty like that. I'm sure you can imagine that's already at the top of my must ask questions. How was the club roughly in 2013 when he joined? Of course I'll ask him to expand on it, and Dick spoke about the transformation during his tenure, but I'm interested to see how you fans felt with the club at that point

Hi Charlie, 

I think you should ask Bobby to describe his relationship with Dick Campbell.

Would be rude not to as I had Dick Campbell on a few weeks ago. He always finds a way to weave his way into my interviews!
