Interesting. Assumed he was pretty much nailed on for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omnishambles Posted August 14 Author Share Posted August 14 I do find it puzzling that we'd be willing to completely dismiss an available manager who has worked with a lot of our squad and has experience getting out of the LL purely based on style of play, when it's been made pretty clear that Yano's departure was a results issue rather than a style of play issue. Unless we've been told quite early on that he doesn't want the job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we've been told quite early on that he doesn't want the job. Do you think it might be down to Robbie being ex teammates/friends with Ian? Maybe he's been offered but said no. I didn't think about that until someone at Berwick mentioned it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see many more suitable candidates mentioned at the minute, so I'd find it strange if we completely ruled the guy out purely because he was supposedly too 'negative'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Robbie is interested (I have no idea), then give him the job! He is a proven winner, getting Bonnyrigg out of the Lowland League. I don't think he should have been sacked when he was and Callum's record is surely much poorer at B R than Robbie's (at end of his tenure). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how many more potentials on the list would have winning the LL and getting out of it on their CV. It's a different matter altogether if he doesn't want the job, but I'd be very curious to see who was on our radar if he wasn't interesting us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnishambles Posted August 16 Author Share Posted August 16 Owen Hastie in from Hibs U18. Don't know too much about the guy. Still think we could use two or three more signings, particularly up the top end of the park with Cammy away. Sure we've only got a squad of 20 at the minute which is eventually gonna take a hit with fixture pile-up and injuries etc. And a manager at some point as well, you'd assume... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnishambles Posted August 21 Author Share Posted August 21 Dropping winnable points at home is becoming our signature in the league and will cost us any sort of challenge up the top end until we rectify it. I know there's goals in Gowzer/Danny/Harry but we still seem like we're missing something up top and as though we're not 100% sure of our best 11 or the football we're trying to play. The timing of Yano's departure becomes stranger by the day considering it's taken us over a fortnight to announce his replacement, but whoever it is has maybe more of a job on their hands than first thought. We haven't won a league game at home by more than a single goal in almost a year. Something's got to eventually give. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the club will do there due diligence as regards the appointment of a new manager, the departure of Yano wasn't planned hence the reason that appointing a new gaffer might take them a bit of time. The clubs home form has been disappointing since Xmas, hopefully the new gaffer might bring us a bit of stability and have the team banging in goals again, as you say players like Gowzer, Danny and Harry all have good goals within them, add in Viola, McGarry, Miller and both the Gray brothers to the mix and hopefully the home record will be a thing of the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lifted the mood around the place a bit with last weekend's win. Definitely needed after the performance against Albion Rovers. I get due diligence re: the new manager, but it's approaching four weeks with an interim. Would be good to at least get some sort of announcement in place rather than a limbo around it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnishambles Posted September 1 Author Share Posted September 1 Celtic B will give a lot of sides a pasting this year. Gap in class was evident. Would write that one off and move on. Doesn't bother me as much as the Berwick and Albion defeats to be honest. Squad does look thin when there's a few absentees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed O, without the likes of Kelby, Rab McIntyre, Scott & Ross Gray, Jake Hutchins, Joe Viola and Danny Handling it was always going to be a tough gig. Celtic were good though, on to tomorrow night where hopefully a few will be back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowdenleith Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Presumably the 5.30 pm alert is for the new manager. Or another signing from Bonnyrigg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnishambles Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Great to see Daz Smith back at the club alongside Jonny. It seems something of a gamble to get rid of Yano so early on and bring in essentially a novice manager after a month of decent, if unremarkable performances in the interim but Jonny is obviously keen to build a career in the dugout and the club seem to think he's the right option. Hope that's the case anyway. Him and Daz have been proven winners over their career so hopefully they can get the boys firing. Great performance from the boys last night, regardless of how poor Gala looked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
