The Pastmaster Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Albion Rovers FC are delighted to announce the appointment of Brian Kerr as the club’s new manager. Kerr (36) steps up from his current role as the coach of Rovers Under-20 side. Rovers Chairman Ronnie Boyd said: ‘Brian has done a great job with the under-20 development side, and we are confident he can do an equally good job with our first team ‘Brian played the game at a very high level both north and south of the border and earned three caps for Scotland, but he also knows the demand of Division 1 football.’ The former Newcastle, Motherwell and Hibs midfielder hopes to announce the appointment of an assistant manager later this week. Kerr said: ‘I’m delighted to get the chance to manage Albion Rovers, and I’ll do everything in my power to continue the progress the club has made in recent years. ‘My work will start immediately, as I look to put a squad and backroom staff in place for next season’Read more: http://arfc.proboards.com/thread/546/new-manager-announced#ixzz4gV6NTVse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam2304 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I've been impressed with the work Brian has done with the Under 20's and have really enjoyed the number of games I've been along to. He has a difficult job ahead of him over the summer but I'm sure he will have the backing of the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapelhall chap Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Beri Vogts' . I think the wee German (Berti)might have deserved the Berry on more than a few occasions and we forgive your excitement in getting out this news.Good to see Rovers get it sorted out early. He will have his job cut out no doubt but I am glad the Rovers stayed in the Division. The next few weeks will determine whether a "Monklands" derby resumes.

Mattmc Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Talk of us signing a forward from you guys. Just not sure which one. That could all change with the new manager now in place. By the sounds of things Mark McGuigan is no longer a Stranraer player. Would you take him back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pastmaster Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Stands to reason the new manager will want to offer contracts to those whom he would like to keep on board. He`s been around ARFC for a full season so he will have got to know all the `personalities` involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattmc Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Brian Kerr is 35 years old and he wears a diamond stud in his ear. Also fails to embrace his gingerness. If he can't appreciate himself how's he going to appreciate his squad of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
