It’s bizarre that he’s never made it to the seniors. Talbot have been bang average for a couple of years now. I’d be amazed if they even got passed his name on the CV if he submitted one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with Ross Docherty, Liam Smith, Daniel Harvie, Michael Rose, Michael Moffat, Andy Murdoch, Mark Kerr, Steven Bell, Jamie Adams, Andy Geggan… Moores’ goal to game ratio was slightly higher than Shankland 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you not be concerned he would leave you [again] if a better opportunity came up. Suppose you may get compensated tho' ...... difficult one. What manager wouldn’t leave if a better opportunity came up - just nature of the beast surely? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murdoch isn’t anywhere near fit. He will be lucky to play again this season and he won’t be like he was before for a long time before he will be back to normal* I guess the talk of him leaving this window was nonsense. *he never really recovered to 100% from his last ACL and was almost there before doing it again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanayr1987 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Also I don’t want McCall back! He was great the first time but think took us as far as he could. Someone with fresh ideas that is young and hungry if bowyer has turned it down 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 We need experience in the dugout and a head coach who knows this league. Appointing a rookie would be incredibly risky given the position we find ourselves in. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not counting Murdoch it’s Dempsey and take your pick between Syla and Smith cause that’s actually it in terms of CM Senga will be gone and Young is gone 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC 1910 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I can’t see past McCall for the following reasons: 1. Experience 2. He has been here before 3. He must surely be within our budget 4. He can spot a player. He may only take us so far, but that would be a full 180 on where we are heading at the moment, and I’d bite your hand off for that. Dont mind a wee bit of a project/experiment if we have some leeway, but right now we are hanging on to championship status with our fingertips!! Spoiler I won’t deny that I yearn for the football we played under him previously and the players he brought to the club. A couple of years of anything close would be night and day to the past couple of seasons 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuya Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Ayr United have appointed countless managers who were fresh faced and up and coming - the majority end in failure. What have Brown and the like achieved as managers that makes them so appetising? As for Bowyer, I'm certain he isn't coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
