ayrunitedfw Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 We’re going to have to make a pretty quick appointment if we’re given him the January transfer window to try and sort this mess. I know Mathie will be involved aswell but surely you’d want the manager to have a say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I'm happier than anything that both Duffy and Hopkin have f*cked off. Imagine the drivel they would have brought in.... Mind you, can't do worse than signing McGinty and literally playing him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was managers having a say in transfers that led to this. You could have rolled a dice and gotten a better defense than Ayr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUcal Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 It is incredible that we ended up with the number of shite players we did. There's usually one or two that everyone can tell are mince but it's honestly some achievement to have built this team. I wonder what funds we actually have available in January and more than that, what players are actually available? How many can we punt? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 If Mathie goes back to Hibs to look for a coach, maybe David Gray could be a consideration. Didn't sound yesterday like his position at Hibs is very stable, with a new manager coming in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this going to be an acceleration of that plan, or a complete change of direction? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what your saying but I think everyone was happy with Kerr’s signings on paper. They just badly under performed. David Hopkin on the other hand though….. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your board are trying to identify a manager who can keep a team with both McGinty and Fjortoft in the Championship. Does anyone know of such a manager? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Timmins staying, but immediately being below the interim staff in the pecking order really gives you an idea of his contribution. I’m guessing he maybe didn’t want a pay off! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc93 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Does this suggest we've ran out of money as Timmins is on a 2 year deal same as Hopkin? I'm not sure what he does apart from warm ups including with the subs at HT and given both he and Stillie are originally GK coaches we could save a wage. Also having walked by training at Ayr Academy in the summer, while Duffy was taking training, Timmins was coming back with the physio from a walk down the woods. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Duffy was the wrong man at the right place at the right time. A safe pair of hand turned to shit pretty quickly. No doubt, the failure of Kerr to sign a decent midfield was the start of the process, followed by Hopkin signing THIS defence has led us to this point. The lack of confidence seemed to improve under Duffy but his strange team selections and insisting on playing defensively when we have a shocking defence is what cost him another 6 months in the job. We need a manager that will have a personality to lift the club, we need to fill holes in the squad and we need it quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
