After hearing and witnessing how the manager is prone to always playing certain loyal favourites he’d have been concerned for his career spending two years up here. No massive bust up but Bullen didn’t exactly handle the situation too well and now leaves the gate open for more players to leave which sets a dangerous precedent when lads aren’t happy. A lot of players & staff trying to leave this in the last few months is an ominous sign.. He was not harshly done by, he was dropped for a centre half in one singular game. You are acting like he came up here, was dictating games all over the place and was then dropped. If players want to leave after being dropped for a singular game they can feel free - amazingly I don’t think it’s going to be an issue going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the new recruitment system launched it would be interesting to see how many players we have signed and how many went back down the road unable to settle. If this were compared to other clubs stats i reckon it would be quite high. Alongside pitch data they should be looking at character closer and ability to settle. Perhaps in a year once hospitality revenues begin they might look at other markets to tap into 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Attitude problem and best he's away" and "wasn't good enough anyway". Aye, nae bother. All hail the bald fucking fraud in the dugout.

If he's happy (and presumably he is) then I don't really see why we should get that bothered about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(He really did look very one paced for the Championship). I am saying that in hope rather than expectation that a new arrival will appear before Saturday that can lift things a bit. But as the chaos in midfield goes on, there’s also no sign of a new striker appearing that could hopefully compliment Rose. Continuing on with Rose, McKenzie and Bryden is honestly a terrifying thought. Seem to remember the fans being told not to judge the young players as it might take a period of time to integrate. You might have thought the same message was relayed to the players and they understood a period of adjustment might be required. Each week a new problem seems to occur and the initial issues that still exist get forgotten about 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he really though Pendlebury is a 8 or 10 at a push he's never a number 6 and that what Frankie was asked to play, he's a decent ball playing center half who is also an established international player, I'm not saying I agree with Bullen playing Frankie over him but I can see the logic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer 23: Mutch - looks ok, too early to tell Stanger - success Murphy - success ()Amartey - success ()Pendlebury - gone, failure McGeady - success due to off field role ()Rose - too early to say Ahui - can't base things off 45 mins, but not promising ()Chalmers - success ()Young - too early to say ()Syla - too early to say Totals 29 total signings 13 successes 9 failures 7 unknown This is all just my opinion of course but make of it what you want Posted this yesterday, but now been edited to show pendlebury leaving, syla signing, and added flags to show what players have come from down south 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I'm no Bullen fan. That should be obvious to most. I actually think he's coming to the end of the road as Ayr manager. However, the Pendlebury situation can't be attributed to him. Either Pendlebury has chucked the rattles and he's as well punted. Or he has struggled to settle and can't focus (it happens) and he's been released. Either way it's the recruitment team and strategy I'm questioning... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it stems from Bullen not having to balls to drop McGinty, and Musonda being too big a character to sit on the bench. Instead of dealing with the confrontation of dropping McGinty he instead unbalances the team by shoe horning the clubs best centre back into a holding midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
