(Which they’d already said would be the case I think?) Surely we’ve got to get something out tomorrow to give fans a bit of hope going forward, I’d take Gardiner being punted over anything else just now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hope for Gardiner going, as I’ve heard that is happening next month but I’ll believe it when I see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s my fear too, I was hoping by getting rid of him we might’ve seen the likes of Roddy get kept on but little chance of that happening if he’s still here. Gardiner going is a must, a CEO is a luxury we couldn’t afford in the championship never mind League 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My knowledge of League 1 goes as far as the last 4 games we played but a manager sticking to this style or philosophy of football is the last thing you need. Get someone in who will absolutely shitfest the way to promotion for all I care. Ideally you’d have a mix of both and I’ve no doubt in my mind Dunc won’t do that. Im not necessarily against have a CEO, though I do agree you could better spend the money elsewhere, but if you are going to have one at least have one that is even semi competent at the job.

Ive not seen them this season but Falkirk presumably have stuck to a game plan to good success. Having been in league one for 10 (ten) seasons what I will say is you need a good manager who can get the best out of players, being full time does make a difference but you will be getting the worst of the full time players so will need to get lucky with players who have previously been out of form elsewhere, CHarlie Telfer is probably the best example for us in recent seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you and I feel I should have worded that post better. Sticking with Fergusons philosophy/style of play is the last thing we need in League 1. It won’t work as proven in the last 4 games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Tarmo Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Ferguson’s style is not capable of winning any division. There will be far too many games we fail to create anything and draw/lose, particularly as we are likely to play more sides that will sit back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, his defensive style wouldn't work in primary school football let alone professional football. If you sign players with zero pace and then make them play a defensive style, you aren't winning very many games of football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing in favour of Fergusons style of play is that when we had David Wotherspoon for three months it did work for the most part. But we had little chance of replacing him in the Championship and now almost zero chance of replacing him in League 1. Any competant manager, knowing Wotherspoon was leaving, would have thought this style of play might no longer work, lets play to the strengths of the players I have. Ferguson decided signing eleventy defenders in January and never changing the style of play was the solution. He's got to go.

SandyCromarty Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 You're all stating the obvious, if Ferguson couldn't put a winning game together in the Championship he's unlikely to do any better in League 1. So from that stat he has to go. Failure to get rid of him with the outlook and play to be as dismal as last season will definitely see a downturn in ST's. Time for new blood in to give us a bounce and get ST's back in, no more Fancy Dans, time for a new youngish manager who has played for us and knows the club and has a hunger to succeed in management. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with you on this, the ST fund is literally the only way the club move towards the end goal of being fan owned. Unless some absolute shagger fan of The Caley win the Euromillions and buys everyone out. It's a great idea to start one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that our recent recruitment of wingers without pace or crossing ability, midfielders who can't pass forwards or stand their ground in a tackle coupled with strikers with all the physicality and ariel threat of a borrower its likely we will get rag dolled by cloggers and hammer throwers. Got to build for the level and no offence to league one its not pretty football,its physical and hard work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
