Ayr23 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I was hoping for an announcement this morning but I can't see that happening now. Tomorrow morning please! The suspense is getting to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mod1967 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Derek Mcinnes will sadly none coming to Ayr however, I spoke to a then Ayr director just after Mcinnes was promoted to the St Johnston job and he was gutted as Mcinnes had agreed to come to us PT as he intended to set up some sort of business. I also read years before an interview by him where he said he was a Rangers fan, but followed Ayr as a cousin or close friend was a fan, pointless post I suppose because he ain't coming, but shows why he always helps us out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 If all interviews are done you would expect some kind of word today or tomorrow, maybe having a game tonight will be the priority for the chairman though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think robbo does a pretty good job of telling us what he can without giving too much away. Let’s not put him off.... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo mentioned the next testing round is Thursday so I would assume Thursday or Friday based on that. They would obviously want the manager to meet the players / coaching staff first rather than letting the cat out the bag to the public. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayr23 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I'd like to think that the person knows they've got it by tonight, and can watch our game and start making plans for Saturday. Players, coaches etc might all get told tomorrow morning who's got it via video chat, then it can be made public? I really don't have a scooby. I'm just enjoying the wild speculation at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr23 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Could but, would be far more professional to meet in person if possible. I agree, but we are living in a new world. If they found out on Wednesday, at least they could turn up to training on Thursday focused on the task at hand, rather than who the new manager is going to be playing on their minds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayr23 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 David Hopkin is the obvious choice ticks all the boxes would be amazed if he did not get the job .I did have a dream last night that I knew he was getting the job and I was scrambling to get on McBookie to place a bet. I hope it's not a sign of things to come tbh. I've settled on the idea of it being McIntyre. I'd be surprised if it's not him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are East End still a thing? I thought they folded after the whole 'hammer' incident with Woodside about 20 years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not this season, but plying their trade in the shadow of Pittodrie in Aberdeen' s old pre-war colours (yellow and black stripes). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
