Shandon Par Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 As a football fan, you've not lived until you've seen your expensively-assembled team pumped out of the UEFA cup by a bunch of Icelandic/Faroese/Swedish farmers, fishermen and firemen. Enjoy the ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Please don't appoint Shiels. You'd be absolutely guaranteed another nine points from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 After-match in the hospitality is going to be fun if this rumbles on though. Mark Roberts is going to love having to shake hands and make nice with a guy who's told the world he's getting fired as soon as the chance arises.

Cliche Guevara Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Disgusted at myself for buying the Daily Mail to read this article, but here are some the key points: Clarke has first refusal on a deal to buy out Lachlan Cameron Provided [the deal] is concluded in the coming days 'it is understood Shiels would take over... from Mark Roberts' Clarke is in the process of selling his 10-acre, £1.8 million mansion in Northern Ireland in order to be hands-on at Somerset Park Cameron is flying over from LA to finalise arrangements On the crowd at Saturday's game (at which Shiels was Clarke's guest) "I'm prepared to fund this club back to the top flight but the stay-away fans are giving me second thoughts" - if you're planning on appointing Shiels as manager: Bolt! - if you're having second thoughts already: Bolt! It's not going to happen though, nothing ever happens at Ayr. Can't even manage to sign Nicky Riley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not going to happen though, nothing ever happens at Ayr. Can't even manage to sign Nicky Riley. Agreed.Not even in charge and the fans are getting blamed for something already. If he's serious lets hear his actual ideas instead of meaningless soundbites in the press.At this moment in time his tactics are very similar to David Murrays in the 80s ..will he turn up at Somerset with a bulldozer?? .Although he has made an effort by sponsoring games and the £1 a fan thing.I won't write him off yet but we really need facts rather than articles promising Kenny Shiels(FFS...even DL seems a better option and that's saying something) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mgc1910 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Kenny Shiels is a miracle. Thanks to him, I found myself saying the words "I'd rather keep Roberts". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I saw Shiels at Somerset last season (the 5-0 game vs Stranraer). He left at half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dryhorce Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Terry Butcher would be my choice if we could attract him always created good teams from nothing on a shoe string and if Rangers want him we could get good compo.when Super Ally goes if the results are not improving big Tel done well at ICT would be a draw for decent English non league players if we are pro and give them a decent wage to make the move north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meathead Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 From what I've heard so far, I don't like the sound of this. A Gretna-esque money-spunking journey up the leagues is not a plan I'd like a prospective owner to be suggesting. The almost childlike "if the stay away fans don't come back then I won't bankroll you to the Premiership" blackmail attempt is certainly a bad start as well.

There won't be a new owner, there won't be money-spunking, and we won't be going up the leagues. No matter what happens we'll end up back where we are now. Football teams never die, these days, at worst they stay as rubbish as they always are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Kenny Shiels has a cosy wee job at Stirling Uni now. If he joined Ayr, he'd be getting a decent wedge of cash in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr Utd Youth Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Couple of thoughts on this from a non Ayr fan who has a couple of boys in the Youth Academy : 1/ Ayr have a Manager who at this point is doing a decent job and has them up at the right end of the Table so it would be unfair IMO for any new owner not to give him a chance to finish the job he has started. 2/ I watched Kenny Shiels coach / manage the Club I support to a National Trophy win. That day I knew Killie would beat Celtic about 20 mins in , we were singing " Ole , Ole " as we kept the ball on the Hampden Pitch , we looked like a European side as Scott Brown and the rest of the Celtic Team could not get a kick. The Goal that won it from Dieter Van Turnhout is a classic and brilliantly worked. The way Kilmarnock FC treated Kenny Shiels was disgraceful IMO BUT if a takeover does happen to replace Roberts while he has Ayr on target for at least the play offs would be a poor start from any new owners if a takeover happens. In summary , Kenny is a good manager who likes his teams to play football the correct way , but Ayr United have a Manager at present who is doing a decent job and who IMO should at the very least get to the end of the season to finish what he has started. That would be the fair thing to do but football is not always fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on he had them playing good football made some good singings to Sooner have Butcher though better draw for English lads coming up maybe from the north east Hibernian never worked out but he done well at ICT another small club he got decent players up to If Ayr was to pump the cash in its those leagues we would be looking at players from and maybe Northern Ireland.
