1nickydevlin Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Hope so, wrong manager for Shanks to shine. Sure this time two years ago the paper was bringing out stories that devlin was off to hearts ,dundee utd etc etc .but he stayed to establish himself in the championship and got a move down south .plus hearts have a few good strikers already .but if he does leave over the summer mccall NEEDS to replace him . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I despise Levein already - if anything could increase my hatred for him it would be this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I heard Shankland to Hearts a long time ago, then they started signing strikers. I think it's a load of pish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Levein was apparently at Somerset earlier in the season might’ve been watching him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I don’t think any of us would begrudge shanks wanting to move on to bigger and better things, but a move to hearts would be a gamble for both. He didn’t set the heather on fire in the prem or champ, and probably benefited from being the main man for us this year. If he goes to hearts, he’ll probably be sitting on the bench often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC 1910 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I think it would be a signing and possibly loaned back to us to see how he manages with the step up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 We take up the complete front page of the Ayrshire Post, what a sight [emoji7]. McCall says that there's no reason why the likes of Crawford, Rose and Shankland can make themselves known in the championship. Regarding Shankland he says the decision should come down to more than football. McCall also says changes to the full time set up could be made with the aim of training in Ayr all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope training in Ayr full-time doesn't put players off joining. I think some players view partially training in Glasgow as a big benefit. I get what McCall is saying about being a real Community Club, but I hope we don't shoot ourselves in the foot with that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe it will be that much of a problem. You’ve seen the likes of Shankland and Crawford commit this season and are both Glasgow based players. I think it’s more of a problem part time with other jobs, getting to Ayr on a Tuesday night after a 8 hour shift. However this is their full time commitment so I don’t see it being a problem and I think that’s what McCall will have found out from the squad this year and is why he’ll implement that idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1nickydevlin Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Heard this morning that the guy Kirkwood is in talks about buying the club .wasn't he mentioned before about taking over ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Heard this morning that the guy Kirkwood is in talks about buying the club .wasn't he mentioned before about taking over ? Pretty sure he was and then went and bought Troon, is he not on the board at Ayr at the moment or something. Would maybe explain why Lauchlan has been back for a few weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Kirkwood wouldn’t have the capital of Cameron, so there would be some sort of fan/community involvement if he was to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I'd rather stick with Cameron tbf, could get a bit risky with fan/community involvement. Out of interest is there any championship clubs who have fan/community involvement, think QOTS might. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all of Lachlans faults, he can keep us afloat, but it’s not going to help us grow. I really don’t know what the solution is, but maybe someone like Kirkwood along with good footballing directors with a good strong community backing is the future. A sustained season in the Championship is a must to get the fans on side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline. In the Top League you have St. Mirren and Motherwell, who are having decent seasons. Hearts of course will become Community Owned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnGAYR Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 We have to trust that Lachlan can identify when someone’s love of the club is less than the love of the ground it stands on ............ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His company tried to influence the Local Development Plan to allow Ayr United to relocate to the Dam Park. I always fear any property company taking interest in a football club that owns it ground and loses money most seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
