Add to that some strange team selections and players playing out of position and you might begin to understand what our committee wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgieman Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 A winning team. Whitburn once had a team up there in the Super League and it is only natural that they have aspirations and a goal to get back to where they belong. It was obvious in the last few games that Tom had lost the confidence of the players. In respect to him he did a good job in getting us promotion so we wish him well for the future.

budgie smuggler Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I would imagine a few people will be interested in the job or do the committee have someone lined up already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitburn exile Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I am pleased the committee have done it now rather than wait like has been the case with some other managers we have had. As it has been said we want to be back in the super league and challenging for trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnie loyal Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 The change in formation and playing players out of position didn't help toms cause though id have been happy with consolidation this season in a harder league though we'd like to be a super league club and competing for trophies we are years away from even thinking about competing on a regular basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dealornodeal Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 He hardly strengthened the team wether it was down to money,but the guy done a great job getting them there after only his second season.I think they have got rid of him too early as I reckoned he would have steered them clear of relegation with only 3 teams going down this season.

Simmy87 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Would like to see someone like the ex Fauldhouse manager Davey Cowan get the job, who has taken teams from the bottom league up with little money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbigal Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Having watched numerous games in premier this season and that includes Whitburn twice. All I would say is you can only pisss with the cock you are given. That set of players are in about the correct position.Whether recruitment is the managers fault I do not know.

Whitburn Vale Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Tom deserves credit for getting Whitburn into the premier,they are where they are due to a lack of money. Its pure fantasy all this talk of the super league etc. What Whitburn need now is a manager who can work with what little money he gets. That may get us to the super league but it wont keep us there,agree with Simmy dave cowan fits the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossgates13 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I take it his formation and tactics were ok to beat a super league team in the Scottish Sometimes you have to work through the bad times rather than bullet the management and with other sides have realistic expectations [emoji460]️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnie loyal Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 If you were a manager interested in the job you'd maybe think twice about applying with tom hendrie sacked a few months after promotion and some fans and committee with unrealistic expectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian44wood Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 In the premier is there is a lot of travelling. Cost of buses mounts up over a season which then may affect player budgets. The premier is a hard league to get out of. Most of the teams will take points of each other. Might have been better letting the manager carry on for a few more months and hopefully climb up the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have watched them twice this season also and think they are In a false position. They are no way the second worst team in the premier league and would imagine they will noT be in the relegation scrap at the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the Whitburn committee, to their credit, have learned from past experience. Keeping a previous manager in the job despite years of under-achievement put Whitburn in the position they are now.
