Hank Scorpio Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Sounds like either Hibs or Falkirk made a move for him at the death, going by what Ray is saying in that interview. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray's heart is in it but it's in it for Ray and not Raith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Regardless or not if Ray has a burning desire for Rovers, he really has been a breath of fresh air with his approach and personality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray's heart is in it but it's in it for Ray and not Raith. This is, to a certain extent, baws. Most employees want their employer to succeed. It usually means better reward, and before the tattie bogles come on complaining about their place of work, I said usually. That said, most employees take pride in what they do and many take pride in who they work for. Not everyone is out for themselves and themselves alone in singular mercenary mode. I don't think McKinnon is a mercenary. I don't know him, but he's no Ian Black. I think he does indeed have the club's best interest at heart, and of course he will expect some reward if he can improve fortunes. On the way though his motivation and inspiration will come from job enrichment and enlargement. He will get satisfaction and pride from improving the club. He'll also get financial reward. I don't believe the latter is driving his actions and thoughts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I reckon Daly and Stewart could be quite a decent partnership actually. Just a pity, hes pretty much 100% guaranteed to be away in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I reckon Daly and Stewart could be quite a decent partnership actually. Just a pity, hes pretty much 100% guaranteed to be away in January. If he does leave in January then I fully trust McKinnon to find a suitable replacement. There's always options in January and who knows, if we're flying high and on Rangers coat tails, he may just have a change of heart. That being said I'd swap the US for Kdy anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the way though his motivation and inspiration will come from job enrichment and enlargement. He will get satisfaction and pride from improving the club. He'll also get financial reward. I don't believe the latter is driving his actions and thoughts. So, Ray McKinnon is doing the best job he can in order to get better rewards for himself? I understand that he wants Raith Rovers to succeed but that's because he's in charge of them, if he was still manager of Brechin he wouldn't give two monkeys about Raith Rovers, so I'm not sure how his heart has ended up with Raith rovers. Ultimately, he's doing the job to the best of his ability because it increases his chances of getting a bigger job. There's no shame in that, it'll be the same for Stevie Aitken at Dumbarton (and every other manager in this league with a modicum of ambition) and I certainly wasn't suggesting that McKinnon isn't trying or isn't passionate, just that football fans need to get away from the "they love the club" attitude, it's almost always not the case. Money isn't driving his thoughts? He working for f**k all then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Daly Signs for the rovers so I can understand why Rangers fans might pop in to this thread. Dumbarton fans however... 3 of them? A bit Jealous of the signing perhaps? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
