UpInTheAyr Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Wonder if McCall is starting to regret his "Only a League title will do" statement from last week. Still, at least with us being relegated we should no longer hear the managers "Remember where this club was 2 years ago" patter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith appear to be a sinking ship and the John Hughes is the first man to jump overboard. It's early days and I can imagine Raith fans quoting this if they do win the league but I can see Raith doing a Cowdenbeath and plummeting towards League 2.

mps02 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Rumours abound on Twitter that every player has been told to find a new club at Raith. Raith fans going mental on here too at the prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case then I'd take Bobby Barr. The longest running will he won't he sign transfer rumour I can remember for Ayr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 If that's the case then I'd take Bobby Barr. The longest running will he won't he sign transfer rumour I can remember for Ayr. On signing, McCall remarks that he can see Barr playing through the middle. First game of the season: A 17 stone Harkins plays wide right while long balls are played to an isolated Barr up front. Would absolutely love us to sign him but no chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Shouldn't every relegated manager get the bullet ? Tbf to Hughes Raith were gonna go down regardless. The decision to appoint Locke was bizarre and was ultimately their downfall. You could argue that they weren't in the relegation places when Hughes came in but St Mirren were on the up and it always looked likely that they would catch them. I don't think every team that gets relegated should automatically sack their manager. It all depends on what club it is though. If Falkirk or Dundee Utd had gone down then yes I would say the manager has made some major errors and should go but when you've just come up through the play offs after having been extremely unconvincing in the play off final and are the favourites to go down then you can't be entirely shocked when you eventually do go down. We gave Brian Reid another chance when I would have quite happily seen him go. I don't think McCall is another Brian Reid though and he seems to know what he's doing (contrary to what most fans think). This season the decision to stay part time and sign a good striker cost us. No one knows who made the decision to stay part time and it seems that McCall was trying to sign someone in January but no one was interested in part time football. Short answer, no I don't think every relegated manager should immediately go. But it depends on the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking back to Reid's time it's pretty clear he wasn't backed financially nearly as much as McCall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joma Boo Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Yogi should have been able to get them to the point where they could negotiate a double-header against Brechin. He's fucked that pretty badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid might have been more used to relegation dog fights but I'd take McCall in the dug out over Reid. Yogi should have been able to get them to the point where they could negotiate a double-header against Brechin. He's fucked that pretty badly. All I would say is that Raith were the worst team that I watched last season. I think Hughes probably regretted taking the job after about a week after realising what kind of players he had inherited. That speech he made after losing to St Mirren all but confirmed relegation imo, just a matter of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall barely improved us. Reid got us promoted in far more style, whereas both of their relegations were obviously pretty awful. Certainly nothing to suggest McCall is far better based on their records. ETA wouldn't let me quote the right part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
