Jilted John Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 According to one of our players at the gig on Saturday night, there’s a few of them think Berra will get it if Mcgylnn left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is of course the other issue with us doing nothing. If we don't make an offer, someone else might well do so. Perhaps it's more lucrative and perhaps the absence of an offer until now might make some feel like they're not valued like they feel they ought to be. Attempts to extend might therefore end up looking foolish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 We need some form of continuity thats for certain, If he goes I'd expect Smudger to go with him, and unless Berra was brought in with an eye to being his longterm replacement and that has happened now, the board have left it a bit late in the day, but I bloody wish they'd cone out and say something one way or the other 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Aye, Berra would get it, and we'd be back where we were last time McGlynn left. Total punt. For me we're in a situation where I don't particularly want him to stay at this point and don't particularly want him to go either. The board need to make a call, and now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Berra would be a bad call imo, players promoted from within rarely if ever work. You are going from colleague and team mate to managing these people. Then there's the issue with signed players he doesn't fancy. Berra may well be a good ma ager one day but needs to be somewhere he didn't play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilted John Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I might be reading too much into it but I know Berra didn’t go on the Xmas night out, he also chose not to lift the cup aloft when it was passed down the line to him. Has he purposefully been trying to separate himself from being one of the boys? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Berra has been in the dugout every game he's been out. I can't imagine he'd be "one of the lads" anyway in the dressing room. That said, I'd rather have Mcglynn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 I’m sure the board will make the right call on who manages us next season, after all they never get it wrong 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 These Raith TV slots with players talking about their team mates repeatedly describe Berra as separate, quiet and not part of the banter, in the club or even on the bus. One of the lads he is not. I don't think this would be the usual transition from player to manager, were it to happen. Makes you wonder how long term a plan it was when we brought him in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Tumilty, Musonda, Bene, McKay, Spencer, all out if contract and some probably wont re-sign / be kept......... Williamson, Poplatnik, Varian, (Mackie) away back to their respective clubs...... Lang and Vaughan out longish term. If its not going to McGlynn ( and I've come round to thinking better the devil you know) then whoever is going to be our Manager has a hellava job on their hands finding replacements of better quality Are the Board daft enough to have left all this to the last minute,.................. I think so 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so In fairness Vaughan will be ready to start pre season training. It's whether he finish it uninjured that's the question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 This isn't the year for a rookie manager if indeed that's what happens we potentially need a sizeable rebuild in defence and midfield. There seems to be a lot going on behind the scenes as well. Next season is a crucial one for me, we either rally and recruit well going for the play offs/championship. Or we are looking at play offs at the other end of the table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) At the cup final I was watching Berra and Vaughan standing with arms folded watching the rest of the team warm up and I joked the two of them looked every inch our next management team... Echo the comments above, in that I would worry Berra turned out like Murray, or even worse. The flip side would be that he would surely have an extensive network of contacts.

Or we are looking at play offs at the other end of the table. When it comes to experience, for me we either stick with McGlynn or try and get Ian Murray or Craig Levein in. I don't see any other decent options that would be even vaguely gettable. I guess this is probably why a lot of the support are reluctant to see the back of McGlynn. Either way, we need this sorted now. If he's going, announce it now so he can get a decent send off. If he's staying, get the contract signed and get on with planning for next season.

foreverarover Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 So you’d sack him after one bad run despite everything else he’s achieved? Even if you look at the players signed in January, they weren’t additions, they were replacements. Williamson and Stanton replaced Tait and Spencer. Gullan replaced Vaughan (then got injured himself) only Mackie was an addition to the squad. Personally I’d give him a 2yr deal and if we are unable to get a top 4 spot next season then it’s time to part ways. He’s got enough credit in the bank to deserve another crack IMO.To be fair if he had actually played Poplatnik in the first half of the season he probably wouldn't have bothered to sign Gullan. For a pre contract with Poplatnik was the way to go if he had been given games. It may not have been possibly but for me he is far better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
