I doesn’t have to be a cheap deal at all if he comes in he’s first choice as he’s better than both Thompson and McNeil 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he looked pretty ropey any time I saw him play against us for Ayr or Morton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's why he finished the season as back-up for Ayr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Hmm that's a weird one. I like Murray and like the way he's went about things, seems like he's trying to methodically build something and I'm fairly confident given another season or 2 he'll leave us in better shape than he found us. Cant say I can see much to say he can cut it at Premiership level at this stage, however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Unless Murray isn't happy with the new set up, I don't see any other reason for him to take such a high risk gamble at this point in his career, alas money is the root of all evil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was signed as number one and will therefore have been on a decent wage so we’re all quite glad he’s offski. Think we’ve signed Robbie Mutch from Edinburgh anyway. He’s had a lot of good games for us including our derby win at Rugby Park last year where he made a few great saves. He and Charlie Albinson were given a couple games each in the league cup and Albinson started the season as our number one after that. I’d say McAdams is decent. He’s good enough to play in the Championship but his weakness is his inability to command his box and long shots have a way of getting past him or being spilled. You could probably get a young loan for half his wages and they’d be just as good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohnononowheredidRossgo Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 If Murray is offered it he'll absolutely take it. I'd be surprised if he was the choice though. Underwhelming year 1 in charge albeit mitigating circumstances. I agree that the consensus is Murray deserves another crack it and I'm confident we'll be a much better side this season. His signings and tactics at times were questionable last season and if we got off to a bad start I'd go as far to say he'd be under huge pressure. Good luck to him if he gets it, I'd prefer him to stay but as long as we make a forward thinking appointment I'd not cry my eyes out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likes to build and it will make him a better candidate for a more solid job down the way. Dundee would be a one year shot with serious handicaps. However, you don’t turn down a request to interview…it’ll help you going forward and now you’re one of the “names”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher brash Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I’m just not getting this we allow Ian Murray to sign players Connolly is a no Brainer but McGill , Corr and extend other players contracts then suddenly leaves to manage Dundee , these things just don’t come out of the blue surely the rovers board have known there has been interest before now because why let him start signing players right up until yesterday if there is a chance he might be leaving , IMO it’s the wrong move for Murray it’s requiring a total rebuild with no players signed I believe that’s a worse situation than what he was in last season with the Rovers . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrush1471 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 In terms of keepers being out of contract, Conor Hazard is out of contract at Celtic, but I have no idea how good he is, or if this is a level he feels he would drop to, whether it's his level or not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it wasn't just Murray signing said players, I'm sure Potter/Barrowman would have some input, and technically they're not signed till the window opens in June and some might change their mind before then, as has happened before 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
