NE63 exile Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Have to agree with the last two posters. Thought John on the whole had Cumnock moving in the direction. Ok they are going through a bit of a sticky patch right now but given time I'm sure he would got have it right. I do think the Nock committee have made a panic decision here. But managers just don't get time to arrest a slide now.Nock's loss will be someone's gain I know that for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question-so what will the new guy do that will change things? I know I'm a Talbot fan, but I'm genuinely not taking the P when I say that this is the default situation for the Cumnock fans and committee. The rest of us looking in know that a handful of poor results and the manager's days are numbered. You all need to give someone a decent chance or, and I suspect this is the real issue, ask questions of what's happening beyond team affairs.

forrest Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Agrer, to a point. Biggest problem (imo) is the Nock look to our neighbours and see success..... Fans can be fickle, urs included at the moment??Something was not right in that dressing room, players just not performing. Only the playing/coaching staff will know what it was.

Regardless of who the manager is, what from your point of view is a realistic measure of success then? What do they have to do to be considered a success?

forrest Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Success to me is winning everything you play for. But on a realistic basis, success is building year on year, to you are in a position to compete againstbthe t@lbots of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the budget that the manager operates with reflect this level of expectation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forrest Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 No idea on budget. That is only my opinion keep mind.... But if you want to be a success, do you not want to be better than before? Until the club is up their in the top 3/4 on a regular basis, then yes I want to move up a position from the previous year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs don’t want their business shared with other clubs or fans of other clubs. Only people who will know for sure are the committees. Then again there are certain people who know ever last detail of another clubs business [emoji23][emoji23] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bul2 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Just a point , the official announcement that John had left the club says “ by mutual consent” not Cumnock have decided to “drop kick” the coach.That may actually have been the real scenario, but, maybe, just maybe , by mutual consent means a discussion between commitee / coach when both sides had their say and they agreed it was time to changeWhatever, the real story, I would like to wish the big fella and Dev all the best in whatever they do next and would not be surprised to see them take another club to a decent standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does say mutual consent and drop kick is probably an over dramatic choice of words. However, the fact remains that the committee didn't want him to stay so the point still stands.

The committee unanimously agreed he would resign? The way I read it was that he said back me financially or I will go and they have said no so he felt he had no choice but to resign.

bawrash Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 So he’s basically saying he was wanting more money as the players he signed only 3 months weren’t good enough and he’s made an arse of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
