Hursty Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Aye Yogi getting mentioned a lot on Saturday evening on the AU Media page was genuinely baffling. I even felt the need to comment a couple of times. It beggars belief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hughes did reasonably well with a few clubs, won trophies etc but his time since leaving Inverness has been bizarre, I think he's had an episode of some sort, his interviews during his time at Raith were bonkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie McNaught Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Stay away from him ffs, he's mad as a hatter. The vast majority of us thought he was a good appointment at the time, thought he'd come in and shake them up. He didn't, he ripped into them at every opportunity and fucked any remaining confidence they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Too early for Mccall to be under any pressure. 6 points at this stage of the season isn't any real gap at all, one set of results can shake things right up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just this seaon he should be judged on, last season was complete and utter dug meat from start to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I try to avoid ripping the pish out of the nonsense spouted on the SRE Facebook page, purely because so many of the posters appear so incredibly thick that I'm genuinely concerned they have severe learning difficulties.

D'Jaffo Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 46 wins in 125 league and cup games with most of that being in league 1 is not progress. Half of the wins coming the last time we were in league 1 and had the second biggest budget in the league. Can I ask in your opinion what progress has been made? Remembering the off field stuff has nothing to do with McCall. If by "off field stuff" you are referring to going full time then he did have a part in that. He was the one that had to convince Cameron to go full time and recognised that for us to have any chance of staying in the Championship beyond one season then we'd have to go full time.

Richey Edwards Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Having seen some of Hughes interviews during his time at Raith Rovers, I am of the opinion that he is on the Purple Tin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Cameron offered to go full time after we beat Stranraer to go up, and McCall knocked it back.We've made no progress at all in the last 2 years. He's an improvement on Roberts and that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the reason we weren't full time last year [emoji23][emoji23].I guess it was his idea to bring the hospitality and shop back in to the clubs hands too.The club where always aiming to go full time when the contracts to the external contractors was up.

UpInTheAyr Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 In terms of being full time, I was looking at the Q & A Lachlan did back in May on the SRE FB, and the only bit he referred to about it was this " Full Time has been the discussion for most of the last year and beyond. I would love to commit to full time football, and Ian is laying out his case for that, but at this time it is not confirmed one way or the other unfortunately. " Lachlan also got fairly battered into old Khalil at one point, which I hadn't seen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I would give McCall until Christmas - to be within nine points of Raith. Otherwise he can go. It's been discussed many times before but I would suggest Reid was definitely a better manager for us, so far anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall is a slight improvement on Roberts, nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
