He then followed him there, despite knowing what had just happened. In the future, I'll take him back as manager. Not right now though. The Rovers had shafted Laurie twice as a player, now I understand the board can't control who a manager chooses to release but I would say he has shown us more than enough loyalty. He was made a good offer to leave and took it. No hard feelings towards him from me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donny86 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Fair enough, he still isn't under any obligation to take it however so why is it a debacle? I didn't say it was a debacle, but Ellis stalled and stalled signing the development job towards the end of the season as he had obviously had the nudge from RayDon't blame him at all for going but found it funny McKinnon gets treated like a traitor but Ellis is lauded 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers have chosen to ring fence it this coming season but we were all wondering if Easton was gonna be out of his current position before the announcement was made. I guess Laurie may also have wondered about the job security if he had taken the position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owes the club nothing. McKinnon, on the other hand, despite the understandable stuff about boyhood club etc, shit the nest at a crucial point in the season, directly affecting the team's performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 My sources tell me the Campbell thing is a lot of pish Ding Dang. Given its a FT role and he is PT/currently in love with the squad we have got/signing boys up for us it's hardly surprising. Think what you think mate but he is going to give the Rovers board the courtesy of speaking to them and seeing what they have to say. I don't expect for one minute he'll leave Arbroath and be our manager next season but is 100% meeting our board today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ding Dang Doo Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 He's at the Cowdenbeath game. You can do more than 1 thing in a day. Don't get where your aggression is coming from. All I've said is what I've been told by an extremely reliable person but that it's never going to happen. Take a chill pill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specky Ginger Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 The one considerable difference as to why Ellis is lauded and McKinnon isn't, is that McKinnon walked out while under contract. Ellis was out of contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis was out of contract. Pretty much the same reason why Toshney was subjected to more abuse from the fans than James Craigen last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottydog Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 4 hours ago, DumbartonTheSons said: I'm surprised that you say you wouldn't take Aitken. He's done very well with us and his stock must be pretty high I'd say. No dig at all, but who do you expect to be able to attract currently that's a better option? If it wasn't for the incompetence at ours of Locke (and Yogis great team building) Aitkens side would have been relegated this season, I think he did exceptionally well at Stranraer but narrowly avoiding relegation aside he's been no great shakes at Sons. All the best to you and him for next season but tbh I still don't fancy him as the next manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lamentable loss to Scottish brewing, had a pint of Double Amber from a revived recipe a few years back (Cally), it was good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
