parsforlife Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 If Airdrie don't go up but McCabe has them performing at a similar level next season he'll be at a premiership club before the season is finished. This 'he'll not go to a club who won't give him time' is nonsense. If he suspects a club may be trigger happy all he'll do is make sure he contractedly protected . Lets say he goes to dundee united as an example, has them 12th and 6 points off 11th and gets sacked. In that scenario, he walks into the next championship job with premiership experience , his bank balance boosted and only minimally harmed reputation. Neither he or airdire are special cases to be immune from the economic realities of football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 A Dunfermline or Falkirk might appeal in the Championship because he could still get game time, but that's also presuming that Falkirk and Dunfermline could afford to pay the compensation required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I think you need to go back as far as kenny since we brought a manager in from another club. Does anyone actually know McCabe's contract situation? Is there a risk he runs down his deal or has a cheap release clause? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny_m Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Everyone has a price but Rhys has time to manage his career carefully as one wrong move could be damaging. I must say however that I'm slightly concerned that there's been no announcement on his contract which is believed to be up at the end of season. Of course it wouldn't be smart to announce he's leaving but it would fire the club up for the play offs if he had signed a new contract. He most definitely has been offered an improved one already, along with his cousin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have thought the young keeper needs all the games he can get,just my opinion but I would play more or less the team we have been starting with , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Think that Divine Iserhienrhien in the reserves/academy is meant to have Burnley and Nottingham Forest looking at him? I say do a Jordan Allan and play him on Friday to increase his price. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame you’re stuck with Jim Goodwin for the foreseeable. Anyway, great to get your ongoing (and ongoing and ongoing and ongoing) thoughts on Rhys McCabe. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he ended up in Norway until Airdrie gave him an opportunity in League 1. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a great time to announce a new contract for Rhys and Dycey would be this time next week, right before the playoffs. Maybe even Saturday after QP. Get the team fired up for the Thistle game. I have to think that if that doesn’t happen, and we don’t achieve promotion through the playoffs, he’ll be picked up by a bigger club in the summer. Him leaving later in the year when the inevitable bottom of the Premiership firings happen would be ok with me, particularly if we get good compensation. Inevitably he’ll leave within the next 12 months unless the promotion happens…. It will be an interesting few weeks coming up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be stunned if we didn't try and get McCabe if we're relegated. Be given a free slate squad wise, a history of giving managers a chance to build in the second tier (caveat that there's likely new owners next season, and the last few years have seen a lot of managers sacked), he'd have a relatively decent budget too, and any compensation wouldn't be an issue. Not sure that happens if we stay up though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ77 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Nobody has considered down south an option. It won't only be Scottish clubs keeping an eye on McCabe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
