Right turn Clyde Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 7 minutes ago, Glorious Purpose said: You were not the only one suggesting McCall to replace "McClean" buttercup. It's a wild suggestion IMO that would hardly unite a support already split, should that be a decision that is needed to be made any time soon. Kofi Annan could not unite the Clyde support, the last time unbridled joy and unity was witnessed from Clyde fans was at the Annan play off final, the one we won...except in the corridors of power at half time of course. As for "buttercup", it makes a charming and seasonally accurate alternative to "snowflake". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt even see him giving up his Newcastle job to be the manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently looking to get a start in Scottish football and would ultimately like to replace Steve Clarke eventually.

SLClyde Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 An experienced assistant manager and 2 or 3 bodies in this week is needed but ultimately unlikely to get all of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead we have an inexperienced asst manager and on the look our maybe 1 or 2 loans...do you really think Clyde will buy a player? We would need an out contract player and they are usually out of contract for good reason....maybe we'll get lucky. Anyone agree with Mr Thomson that we'll be challenging for promotion? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s there I can see us spending some cash on some bodies and buying players. It’s the only way out the current hole we find ourselves in. Realistically money would need to be spent wisely but, top end league 2, lowland league, west of Scotland types or guys further up the chain not getting game time. Question is can we get them in? Even without all the off field turmoil it would have been a hard task In terms of who I would bring in for what it’s worth if there is cash to be spent and down the line id be interested to see how a guy like Gordon Moffat at Clydebank or similar style manager could do. Young, plays nice football and has an in depth knowledge of a player market we should be performing a lot better in. A guy like that coming in and doing a Maitland style job at Clyde would be interesting. Of course the risk with that is that you end up like Stenny in the Swift era Edited August 28, 2023 by Ocelot1877 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never mentioned buying players, we’ve hardly done that in my lifetime. There may be players who clubs are willing to let go for free to shift off the wage bill, or better players on loan. There’s no doubt we need a few of better quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to him it’s just as likely as Jack Ross, a fairly respectable manager with experience down south and in the top flight deciding to be assistant to a rookie at the bottom of league 2.

Wonder the last player we actually shelled out some money for??? only one I can think of is Billy Reid who we bought in the 80s(?) for about £35k (that would be equivalent to us spending about £100k today) Remember he got injured early on and was out for about a year and wasn’t the same player when he came back as he was with QotS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that then it must be Darren Ramsey from Annan I think. I might be mistaken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
