He met Gerry Britton on Thursday. No idea what the status of it is, and after today you’d have to think he must be wondering what he’s getting himself in for... but he’s definitely been up to Firhill to discuss the job. Personally, I hope he does, but you can see why he wouldn’t based on the two results (and respective league performances) today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Folk can talk about lack of ambition until they are blue in the face. But if the money isn’t there, then it’s not there. I still think more money could have been put on the table by Cameron and the highly increased revenue of a season in the premiership would easily give him the money back. If promotion didn't happen we'd just have to accept running the next few seasons on reduced budget. I still for life of me can't understand how he had a smaller budget this season that last but hey ho.Also on McCall if he went to Thistle and it went Pete Tong for him I think his managerial career would be done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you’d take the gamble on going up (a big gamble) and risk running on a massively reduced budget (probably lower than this season) if it didn’t work. That’s no way to run any sort of business let alone a football club. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll go, board and chairman haven't backed him enough for this season imo and aren't showing the ambition to get to the Premiership. If the board had some balls to take up the challenge of trying to get to the premiership then he would stay, but they don't want to do that. I think we'd only need another three decent players and we could seriously challenge for promotion. Where have you heard he wants Scally with him? as well as Archibald number 2 ? Agree with him not being backed , I think they will try to keep him as McCall has lifted Ayr United as a club so much since he has been here, I hope they pull out all the stops to keep him!! he has to stay !!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get this argument at all, we're top of the bloody league with 5 wins from 6 games, what more could he want ? Let's pretend Cameron had given him an extra £100k to sign someone like Cardle who would have been at the expense of McCowan, now tell me, would you honestly swap McCowan for Cardle right now ?? If not McCowan, it would be someone else who'd be missing out, maybe Forrest ? Who would you drop and why ?? Or do you think releasing even an extra £250k from the magic money tree would give us a higher budget than the Dundee sides ??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows how a new manager would handle them. What good would that do. Yes they could recall them but they wouldn't be able to play for anybody (even their parent club) until 1st January 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still hold hope that Scally would rather be a manager than a coach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 Danny Lennon never took 24hrs to decideIn fairness to McCall, I can understand why this is a big decision. 5 years ago he would never have thought an opportunity like this would come along after everything that happened. I’d be absolutely gutted if he went but I can understand it if he did. That’s football though, people move on. Danny Lennon is a substandard manager as well and probably realises he can’t turn that shambles at Firhill around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile we accepted Thistles approach, let McCall speak to them and i highly doubt offered him a new contract. Would be amazed if by this time tomorrow McCall has decided to stay with Ayr and signed a contract extension, more chance of a Brexit deal being signed in the next 24hrs IMO. You do wonder in this situation if any of our players phone McCall and say that he should stay.

Guest Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 So, let's say McCall and Scally go, does that mean Doohan will forget how to come for a cross ball or Forrest won't know how to run past a player or McCowan will lose his ability to dribble with the ball or Doc won't know how to tackle or Moffats close control and ability to run will evaporate ??? Just wondering............ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
