For how much he was admired it was a bit baffling they chose to do it after a draw and with Kelty this week. IA few weeks ago there were quite a few reams below us and a couple of them looked in real trouble. Even with our dreadful form there were enough in the mix to think we could still shit fest along and be safe. Had QP not won and put us right into the deep stuff i doubt it would have happened like this. That's what happens when it comes on top and other weeks a draw would have saved him although there can be no complaints as he had enough chance to save his job this season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrExile Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 1 hour ago, eez-eh said: For all that it felt inevitable the timing was a bit of a surprise to me as well. If they were so reluctant to sack him you’d think a draw would have felt like justification to them to give him another week. I get the argument about the transfer windows but again if they were as reluctant as they claimed then it’s not the kind of thing you jump into just because there’s a transfer window. Maybe they just shat themselves. I think they probably did just shit themselves. Can't see how they will get the right person quickly either and they then have the time assuming they are actively involved in the transfer window. We need someone primarily to save our league status but then in the summer it may be a different need if hospitality funds a bigger budget to start going places. Ideally you want someone to come in and develop with the club but not easy to find them. On saying that a lot of the pre transfer work might have been done already in the background by Glendinning and they are actively targeting players. It wouldn't take a genius to work out the areas where we have large gaps that need filling. How many players also could you say were truly Lee Bullen selections. The guy Mackie he knew from Wednesday but the others seem to have came from the recruitment directive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can agree with the decision to sack him but also be surprised that the board did it given their supposed reluctance to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanayr1987 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Has anyone looked at long odds of who will be next manager? Graeme mathie is there and some guy Stuart Guthrie who upon googling appears to be the hibs commercial manager and scout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it came from one of the players Wouldn't surprise me, feel as it Bowyer was a long shot and wouldn't commit to long term. I think it'll be Scott brown, he had Steven whittaker with him at Fleetwood too. Backroom team may be a bit of a stumbling block too tbf due to our current setup... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard it was down to committing to a longer term plan. Even if it was down to signings, the manager is always going to have the final say but maybe Bowyer felt the club wouldn’t be happy with some players he was planning on bringing in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUcal Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Could be down to wages? No idea what he would have been on at Dundee but maybe he expected similar and we couldn't match it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rb123 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) Bowyer would want high level signings too come straight into the squad which doesn't fit to our current setup. He could have also proposed players x,y and z who he'd like to sign this month to improve the squad and they turned round to say to him we wouldn't be able to facilitate this Edited January 18 by Rb123 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a little from column A and a little from column B? The thought did cross my mind the other day. Especially when I saw it said that Bowyer wanted to gravitate towards a director type of role one day. He’d want far more control than what Mathie would be willing to give him. I get the desire to have continuity between managers but there’s a balance to be had so that you don’t put off just about any vaguely experienced manager out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
