Tell that to your own/Tranent supporters. No many, who are competing anyway, are positive at the current way Tranent are being run at moment. If course I may very well be wrong 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From nearly being out of extinction in 2014, to now competing at the higher end of Tier 5 football at a stadium that's a proper wee ground, surface one of the best in the league. The surroundings are equally impressive and you're telling me the current Tranent fans aren't positive about the way the club is being run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at Tranent FC Supporters page on Facebook. Look at what your fellow fans are saying about Yano's sacking, eg about the timing, about Tranent allowing Yano to bring in all the players then Tranent getting rid of him. You even have an ex proffesional goalkeeper (I think), who's a Tranent supporter who is not happy. Fans wondering why the need to go through so many managers. Why are you (perhaps you have) not going on Facebook and giving your thoughts there as opposed to having a go at me? Correct me if I'm wrong but tell me where I have said anything about Tranent nearly going out of existence in 2014 (wasn't aware by the way). Tell me where I've moaned about how in 10 years, you've gone, from nearly bust, to now being a Tier 5 team - huge achievement by the way! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't actually think getting rid of Yano is the wrong decision. I stand by it should've been made at the end of the season. As has been said, our league form has been pretty average. For a while, we've been dropping more points than we've been winning especially at home. Minus the cup win last season, there hasn't been much evident on the park in the way of us 'progressing' in the Lowland League. Last season's finish was respectable, but below par of the expectations on us at the start. I'm pretty confident that the *right* manager (that's a big question mark, really) gets a better tune out of these players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irate at you CJ, not the case, you like all posters are entitled to spout off whatever you feel to be relevant and 'factual' I merely answered your comment that our fans aren't happy with the way the club is being run. Unfortunately the current board need to make some real difficult decisions. After all, we are all unpaid volunteers who invest many hours throughout the reason to make sure the club is on a sound footing both on and off the park. Regardless of what team you follow, fans will have differing opinions on managers, players and board members, that's just fitba. You do however like to have a dig at Tranent CJ!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of what team you follow, fans will have differing opinions on managers, players and board members, that's just fitba. You do however like to have a dig at Tranent CJ!! I think my only, certainly main dig at Tranent is the amount of managers you have had in the past few years, since I think Darren Smith was co-manager - won two cups, which was magnificent at the time for your club, then both were gone shortly thereafter. Then you've had an array of managers in past 6-7 years. You tell me one other club in EoS or Lowland League who has had more managers that Tranent in that time and I will give you a huge apology. Player turnover at Tranent has been pretty huge over same period, but someone (maybe you?) challenged me on that aspect before, so I've tapered my thought. Again though, apart from East Kilbride, Tranent must be up there in past few years with turnover of players. Not sure that is a dig, but maybe an interpretation of words which I won't argue with you about. Yip I am opinionated, but don't think that is wrong and if anyone proves me wrong, which does happen - I am happy to apologise and say I am wrong. Again, beachboy, I go back to my earlier question/thought. You can challenge me all you like as a non-Tranent supporter, but do you equally question your own fans, who have said the same thing as me on their own Facebook page! I challenge anyone who says things about Haddington (on twitter), if I think they are wrong, just like you are doing with me. However, I think, more than not, that I can back my arguement(s)/discussions up. Cheers and thanks for our wee chats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omnishambles Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 Five Tranent managers have won silverware at the club in the past eight years. For context, that's as many managers as we'll have been through in the past 2 years when the next one is appointed. No one can deny the speed of managerial turnover at the club, but there's a case to say the approach has worked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No denying that in last 6-8 years, Tranent have been the most successful East Lothian club at our level. Great achievement getting as far as Lowland League and I know at least, that's where Musselburgh wanted/thought they'd be by now. But for me, if we (East Lothian teams) want to be known as community clubs, yes we want to be successful, but we also want to see players coming through the ranks of U20s, signing for the main team and then staying there. Going through 5 managers in 2 years and the coming and goings of players - where is the community spirit in that. I agree with a lot of what you say as you tell it when it's good as well as bad Anyway, I'm repeating myself so time to move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club have to try and progress in any way they can. If that means changing managers then so be it.

Jordi1977 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Scott McCrory-Irving was in starting 11 for Broxburn yesterday... not sure if signed or come in on loan.

He looked pretty decent, but did have what looked a couple of tired touches in 2nd half which likely a result of the lack of preseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had that confirmed by davie innes today, and also no chance it will be Robbie horn. Too negative apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
