Likes coaching rather than dealing with all the baggage that comes with being a manager. Through loyalty to Bo'ness stayed after Max left and steadied the ship. Now wants to go back to coaching and was delighted when Max got in touch. Cheers Ian 4 hours ago, YirTea'sOot said: The ship didn't really need steadying, it was just drifting aimlessly. No chance of the league or relegation and only the League Cup to play for which to give credit where credit's due, Little and the team were a penalty kick away from winning.

Bu bri Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Getting the right manager in is going to so important. I know we don’t have wads of cash but we should have been doing better than we did. Crowds dropping off has probably not helped our budget either. We don’t have a sugar daddy so we need to get our crowds up and that means a good start. A big challenge whoever gets the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas Rage Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Disappointed to see Little go, from the time he had in charge there was a lot to get excited about compared to Max in his last 18 months. Hopefully get a replacement sorted quickly to not derail the summer too much. Good luck to the lads going to Tranent if the rumours are true, can't blame them for taking the cash. If Max can't get more out of them than he did here though then it might not be a title charge for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, Tranent have gone through 6 managers and now on their 7th in that period. Maybe he who pays the piper calls the tune There is no doubt about that pretty sure it will end in tears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whith a squad of around 20 - though not everyone on the same wage - it’s still going to be a heft amount. I if you’ve got it flaunt it.
