If he’s in any way interesting you should be appointing him. If we’re looking at a joke appointment though it’s Alan Stubbs for me. Petrie would struggle to attract any players from the central belt he is based up north West of Scotland boss has a better chance of attracting players from Glasgow And the road Ayrshire player that has slipped through the net of Killie or Renftrewshire player St Mirren or Morton haven't tied up -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weetoonlad Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 What about Andy Millen he would do a job very very experienced 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really like the idea of jumping straight into a new manager the now but I'm not overly confident with the interim team at the moment and you only have to look at who we play on Saturday to see how that's going for them. No .... this appointment needs to be the guy that’s going to be here next season , this is the guy who needs to get players signed up for next season , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Right now, I think we need experience, Duffy had a sticky spell with Morton at this level, Murray struggled at this level. McIntyre hasn’t been linked with a job since he applied for the Ayr job the last time. I can’t say I know to much about Petrie. Hopkin was suspect at Morton in strange circumstances but did well with Livi. of the names mentioned so far, I think Craig Levin is about the only one I’d be confident could get us out this mess with zero gamble 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrie is my pick if we’re looking to build a good team beyond this season. However if we’re only focussing on staying up then Duffy or McIntyre for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard it said many times that part time managers from the east struggle when they come over to the west. There seems to be a core of players over there who are of a good level ,happy playing part time and don't travel far. A lot of managers like to take previous players or others they know well to their new club. Dick Campbell at Partick was a good example of this not working. out. That's not to say Petrie would be the same but don't know enough about the Montrose team or situation there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) I wasn't a huge fan of Duffy at Morton but there was no actual 'sticky spell' prior to him leaving. The team just wasn't going anywhere higher under his watch and so the club simply tried to upgrade on him with McKinnon in the close season to try and make a credible challenge for the play-offs again. Which worked out terrifically for everyone involved, but was still better than Duffy giving it the 'we can't possibly compete' line and wanting a parade thrown for finishing 7th every season. He'd probably keep Ayr out of danger this season as there are at least two poorer squads in the division but won't pull up any trees in future campaigns.

eez-eh Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 The amount of times I’ve seen Kettlewell’s name mentioned gives me the fear. Winning this league with Ross County’s budget proves nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becouse players might not want to play for him given the choice of going somewhere else with Glaswegian coaches and players they knew and have grown up bill with And given the chance would go and play for another team that fits that bill I doubt the players he has want to car pool to training to play for Ayr United It's bad enough car pooling from Glasgow players are lazy and would only be interested if the money was in it for them And we know it won't be cos every penny is a prisoner at Ayr especially with ground maintenance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being involved in football and trying to get players from Glasgow to go to Ayrshire teams I know this And I also know there is a bus that leaves Glasgow with players heading north to first and second division teams but it never lasts Same players cant be bothered and go lowland or pyramid nearer there homes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
