The New Raith Rovers Thread


Recommended Posts

Probably just a case of Ray playing hardball with Thomson to get what he wants both for himself and taking his sidekicks with him.

 

But even if Ray doesn't go now, unless he goes public and nails his colours firmly to the mast I'm struggling to see which other players he would be able to convince to come to us as long as there is speculation that he wants to go or will be leaving just as soon as the right offer come in.

 

Perhaps awarding him with an improved and extended contract and him doing a spiel about the 5 yr plan and promotion would help there but IMO the latter is more likely than the former.

 

Meanwhile we sit and wait.

Obviously waiting for the Hibs vacancy to materialise.

Unlikely he'll stay with us, but would be glorious if he bumped off United.

Agree. That'd be hilarious if he ended up at Easter Road. Especially given Thompson pretty much calling on the third blow of the whistle at full time on Saturday.

McNamara seemed to be doing a good job with Thistle, but it only took a couple of months after Archibald replaced him to realise that he really hadn't done that great a job after all. He'd done a good job of building a squad, but tactically Archibald shat all over him and their form improved massively as soon as he left.

 

At Dundee United he inherited a strong squad with some excellent youth prospects coming through and was delighted to split it up as quickly as possible due to the cut of transfer fees going straight into his pocket and showed no ability to rebuild it - at Thistle he had the foundations of a squad in place left by McCall to build a squad on top of, at United he had to build a squad after dismantling it himself and made a complete mess of it. He's followed that up by being a total disaster at York, with only 5 wins in 30 games.

For people who've been wondering about their season ticket who've done the finance agreement, I just got a phone call there asking what seat I wanted and would be sent out in the post.

We've signed Ryan McCord...didn't get much game time at you did he?

 

Last played an hour against Rangers at Ibrox in february, and before that 18th dec vs. Morton. Started the season well enough, and is a tidy passer of the ball, with a very good range of passing on him but didn't have the mobility that we needed. Would probably have been out the team earlier but for Callachan's injury. Surprised he dropped down to league 2, to be honest.

He'll do a job at your level. Clearly wasn't favoured by McKinnon. Thought he'd be a decent signing for us but never really produced the goods. A certain poster on here will be happy he's away :P

Real shame had a cracking start to the season and just fell away. All the best to him I'm sure he will run riot in that league.
