Beachbum Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 If we removed Drysdale from the wage bill that would go some way to paying off Locke and Jackson and also mean that Drysdale wouldn't be around to appoint the next manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji4] You got a plan set up for, how to take Drysdale out? I'm in, regardless. Just let me know the time and place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Drysdale won't go. The man's be around for the past 19 years and involved in every crisis. Now he's on the SFA board for some ridiculous reason. Would taken something special for him to leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 At least Ayr are losing. This too is what we've become - hoping other, supposedly inferior teams get beat. Reality is we are just the same as them. Possibly worse, given where we started from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'm done with the club until Locke is away. I can't face it any longer. [emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nairney Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Watch this space, no doubt he'll manage to pull off a draw vs United next week.... Locke's grudge matches (vs Ray McKinnon, Hibs and Ann Budge) seem to be the times he can pull things together / motivate the team. With the exceptions of the obvious candidates, mentioned by many, I think we've actually got quite a decent squad of players. Which, in some ways, makes this an even more frustrating time than the notorious Anelka debacle, when the team was filled with pub team footballers. We've mostly got a reasonable calibre of player who could have the potential to finish in a decent position in this league. Also, however horrific the Anelka fiasco was, you knew that it couldn't possibly go on forever.... But this? Gary Locke has a two year (is that right?) deal and I cannot see him resigning - that would effectively be him ending his career in professional football. However, if our board were to sack him, I dare say he could manage to pull off another "good interview" at a club further down the leagues. Let's face it though, they're not going to sack him either - it proves they got it wrong and it would cost money we may / may not have. So we're in a standoff where Locke won't resign and the board won't be in a hurry to let him go... great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 If the board don't get rid of then they have to be fully prepared for the harsh criticism that'll follow this season and the full ramifications if we go down 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nairney Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 We'll probably pull off just enough draws to survive in this league, by the skin of our teeth... Giving the board another excuse not to let him go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Berk Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 It was fan pressure and falling gates that eventually saw Murray off. I suspect at the end of the season if Locke's still here the low crowds and the prospect of poor season ticket sales might make them see sense again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Berk Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I think McGurn is a Rovers legend, like everyone else. But I think the fans over reacted, just because Murray was so unpopular by then. There was little said when McKinnon bumped him off to Stranraer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith25 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Mate is at uni in Dundee and is a united supporter so going up next week for the game and a night out, thank f**k it's a 5:15 kick off so I can numb the pain of watching that pish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweaty Morph Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Probably should be game over for Locke after that 'performance'. There's enough of a season left for a new manager to salvage.Still, the guys seriously comparing this season to the Anelka season?

Big Berk Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Just listening to the Lincoln City manager saying how he watches the suppporters queueing before games and wants to put on a show for them. The contrast with us immediately hit me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
