It's a permanent move to BU from Raith Rovers after he had periods on loan at Bonnyrigg and East Fife. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in a match against Beith where he showed what potential he had. A good bit of business by the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyBear Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Slightly concerning that Hunter and Gemmill seem to have a decent longish term plan as opposed to the usual shenanigans. Things looking Ok for you at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave, ur a great BU supporter but even the great don’t always get it right. Max is a toxic manager and has been at every club he’s managed. Bonnyrigg, Broxburn, Bo’ness and Tranent. your much used “in Max we trust” I’m afraid is now resting on the Titanic I 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we could’ve been back to where we started if it hadn’t been for the good work of the current management team. Could you argue Hunter and co. have helped Max’s reputation? Albeit relegation still may have been unlikely even with a disaster start to the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Max We Trust was a fair motto based on those years, unfortunately when it came time to replace the old heads in the squad he wasnt the man to do it and things fell apart from there, and the less said about the disgraceful behaviour of him and Little in regards to the end of last season the better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly seems that way, I'm sure there'll be a couple bumps in the road with Michael and Hunts being fairly new to management but the business theyve been doing since the job was thrust on them gives me a lot of confidence in both the long and short term 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. Max was a breath of fresh air after the Kerrigan shit-show and put together a good team with a “never beat” attitude which earned us some silverware. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about McArthur. Hope he stays but won’t be as big a miss as he may have been 6 months ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 Stating the bleeding obvious but a strong run of results and performances between now and the end of the season makes signing players a lot easier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Rage Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 McArthur has missed a few games this season and the team has kept on rolling, he's a class player for sure and would be missed, but I don't think next season hinges on him. Every good team needs a great keeper. Remains to be seen if Ruddy is that man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
