Thumper Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 3 hours ago, Superhursy7 said: A year to the day of the first game since Hopkins got puntted, loads of highs and lows since then but I think most can agree that we are a better path now. "Most" is a very weird hedge there. Even given the tendency for oddballs on football forums to die on weird hills, there's no such thing as a Hopkin diehard. The best that could be said is that for whatever reason, the actual results barely improved on average after he was punted until very recently, but for once this can't be attributed to a Cunning Long Term Plan as the club was very open from an early stage about what that plan was (especially after snagging Bullen). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I really hate Hopkin. He is a ginger hoof ball loving wind bag. An ego maniac that seems to think he is some sort of managerial doyen with his vegan diets and his going on holiday when we should be signing players. I think he is comfortably my most hated manager. The only silverware he will win is for the manager who most looks like a potato. I wish we had actually catapulted him into the sea. Thank you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a lot of managers, even if it does not work out, you can at least point out some redeeming features of their tenure. Even Mark Roberts tenure had some positives, and Kerr tried to implement a positive philosophy but it didn't work out. I would struggle to think of any redeeming features for Hopkin's tenure. Apart from signing a couple of players among the shite he signed who actually turned out to be decent. The tactics and style of play he implemented were absolutely diabolical. In those regards he must be the worst manager we've had. Other managers we have had may have failed, but at least you can say they tried. Hopkin, on the other hand, is an absolute charlatan. I was fooled by his "achievements" with Livingston and thought he would be good. I could not have been more wrong. He was awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 other managers have failed due to a lack of ability and a lack of resource, Like Shanks, Money and to an extent, Burley. Hopkin had money and an overwhelming lack of ability on so many fronts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuAl Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 It was how little he seemed to care that irked me more than anything else. We were truly awful each week and it didn't seem to matter to him. I like that we got rid of him cause he couldn't handle folk shouting "Hopkin get to f**k." Threw his toys out the pram and left. No surprise he's had f**k all since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death in Vegas Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 He shouldn’t of had anything after Morton. It still really amazes me how the chairman came to the conclusion he was the best man. Literally the only person that thought that. Was incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know what he said in the interview that made the board think he was the outstanding candidate. Because, having heard him speak, I cannot imagine anyone being motivated or enthused by anything he says. Does anyone know who else was interviewed? I remember Jim McIntyre being mentioned but that's it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've changed manager so often the past few years that I have lost track of who wanted the job and when. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who attaches themselves to an opposition team or to Ayr United? I use this verbiage because these kinds of mouth breathers are not fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
