White, Tait etc have all gave brilliant service to ayr in a number of roles but are they going to be the people to take us to the next level. Still think they have their role to play in the academy etc

I believe Graeme Mathie’s iron fist will be to Ayr’s detriment once again. Apparently his firm stance on a complete no of potential managers bringing in their own back room team has seen potential managers take our offer with a pinch of salt. We can see how this was linked to Bullen’s downfall with not having coaches of his choosing. Is this a case for ‘jobs for the boys’. Some of the backroom team have been involved with the club for a long time and been part of shambolic ayr united teams. I feel this is holding us back and showing the amateur feel that still lingers at Somerset. Surely if we are to progress on the park then the proper back room structure needs to be in place and not holding on to people just because they are local and been there a long time.

Kirk Broadfoot set to become Ayr’s highest paid player since the days of bill barr. Hope this isn’t true.
