airdrieman Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Tommy Sloan has had continued success with Talbot and would be an interesting appointment. Whether or not he could replicate that with Ayr though is doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Millen, Shiels, Stark, McCoist, McPherson. No thanks. Nobody with Kilmarnock connections,just a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Following appointments at Stirling Albion and Motherwell I expect another out of left field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Eddie Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Feel sorry for Mark Roberts but this news is long overdue. We can't continue to go for the cheap/promote from within route as it hasn't worked in the past. We need someone who has a proven record and can get a buzz going around the place. Ally McLeod was great at talking up the club, for all we weren't world beaters with him in charge we had a cracking support that turned up home and away. Thanks for the playing memories, Marko, you were fantastic for us. Sorry that management didn't work out for you, but to be fair you owe a lot to AUFC - how many other clubs would have given you as long to try and turn things around?

HeathrowAUFC Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 It's not the time for a speculative appointment, there's too much riding on the next 5 months. The club need to eradicate the possibility of relegation as quickly as possible. Ideally, the new man in charge will motivate & improve the current playing staff as new additions might prove thin on the ground. Organise them, make them more cohesive. Experience essential, certainly in the lower leagues. Ability to work with little or no budget. For me, step forward Danny Lennon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I'll throw in a name from left field: Matt Lockwood. Was one of the names being touted for the Morton job in pre-season before we released him. Went back down to England to become a player-coach at Sutton United, but quit early last month as the travelling was getting to him as he still resides up here. Ran a successful soccer school back in England as well. And could probably still stroll this league at LB or sweeper if you need either of those positions filled.

honestly united Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 New manager is a bigger / more important decision that getting rid of Roberts. If we don't get this right we could be looking at league 2 next season, and apart from Lennon none of the names banded about so far fill me with confidence, no offence to Tucker Sloan but being successful with Talbot is the same as being successful at the old firm, ie being the big fish in a small pond. However with the open application, full time position etc, we may get a good standard of candidate and the no internal appointment was good to see.

Iain Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I'd really like to see someone who's been successful at this level, or above, with more than one club. That's not unrealistic, I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevemc81 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 A great player but her never convinced as a manager. He might make a decent coach in the future but he's not shown the required tactical nous for a manager and you never felt he commanded the respect of his players. Unfortunately the Scottish lower leagues are a bit of a managerial bloodbath this week and I would imagine Ayr is at the bottom of the pile when it comes to desirability right now.
