Can’t see me renewing any club membership until he’s gone. It would seem that there's no change of management on the cards. A decent game tonight given nothing was at stake. The weather helped, but there's definitely something attractive about Friday night football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My overriding impression is that the manager still has the backing of the majority of the support. What that backing is based upon, I've no idea. Still, we'll all be enthusiastic and ready to go again for the new season. It's going to massive for the club. AGM up next and let's see squad wise the comings and goings. Recruitment, as limited as it may be, has to be a lot better than it was last close season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure there's much objective thinking going on amongst that lot. We are all "Buffs til we die", but that doesn't exclude us from calling for change when it's required. If we don't assemble a promotion competitive squad and next season starts badly, there'll be a lot of finger pointing going on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recruitment, as limited as it may be, has to be a lot better than it was last close season. The backing is based upon the committee think that as the money teams have been promoted this season, Drumchapel and Johnstone Burgh, they think next season it will mainly be about teams who have good coaching and management and run well, this was quoted to me and I get that kinda get that thinking if you have a good management in place, (that's all about everyone personal view), but we can all second guess every team if they have big backing next season, which suppose can happen at any time. I'm still not convinced they will go up next season with what they have right now although its a bit early so new playing staff still to be brought in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly clubs with bank-bursting budgets who turned us over by being, dare I say it, better coached. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't a clue, I've only seen Kilwinning 3 times as I don't follow them, just go to games that I think should be enjoyable. Suppose the fact is the coach is the one who got them relegated and he is the one who didn't get them promoted this season. He could be the best next season or there could be someone better, who knows, only time will tell Edited May 11 by Bestsinceslicebread 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don’t know why the club are waiting for him to fail again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All season our management team failed to react to events on the park, there didn't seem much ability to change things. The best coached team that we played this season was AWR, with ex Buffs managing and 5 ex Buffs playing it was definitely a case of here's what you could have had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little comes from the sidelines during a match apart from the obligatory expletives at the referee or “Gav!” No tactical instruction and complete silence when things inevitably go wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a grim post PC, the guy is passionate about the club and the team and wears his heart on his sleave, nothing wrong with that in my opinion. The same "nutter" as you called him has supported the many club events run to keep this club afloat, not many among us that can say that, can you? Some fans prefer to support the Club quietly in their own manner, there are others more vocal and passionate and then there's the ones that you'd be hard pushed to tell if they're a Buffs fan or not they are so negative about everything. Sack Strain, Sack Gormley, Sack the Committee, Sack Tiff, oh!, and if we change the manager, he's got two weeks grace till we should Sack him too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
