Ding Dang Doo Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 You mean Dick whose team finished 8th last season and who we would have hounded out? Programme is available through Rovers Down South twitter feed. Club seem to have pulled it. Had a read and it's full if the editor giving it the "it's my baw" treatment. We on here are no strangers to criticising the club but a takeover of the programme was bold. What you mean after getting his side promoted over us and super McGlynn and then staying in the league with a part time budget? Yes that Dick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. It would appear that some people were uncomfortable with facts and truths 27 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Hopefully we are not considering a two year contract for McGlynn after that absolute show from December onwards. Of the out of contract players I'd keep Musonda, Tumilty and Spencer, with the rest let go. Unfortunately I think Tumilty and Musonda are leaving and not sure about Spencer, which then brings me to the question of whether I'd keep Benedictus. If we had the facility to retail Musonda, then no I wouldn't. I might reconsider when McKay and Musonda both go, since we'll be needing a new RB and need a better LB as well. Too many new faces might not be wise. Up front it's over to McGlynn (probably) to address an issue that he has struggled with the last two seasons. If Poplatnik's contract at Livi is up (and I think it is) then I'd try and get him signed up. He's managed a pretty solid return and I think he is capable. Beyond that, two new strikers needed. Had Dick and Zanatta been out of contract I'd have let then go as well. Zanatta is a pretty good comparison to our season, actually - started off beyond expectations and then just frustrated everyone. Finally, give us something to cheer about and get Goodwillie fucking gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Just watched the highlights from last night. South Stand does look pretty empty. I’m assuming most folk decided they would either give it a miss entirely or just watch on TV. I would have been one of them, but I had an invite to go for a few beers beforehand then go to the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offshore Rover Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 10 minutes ago, Beachbum said: Hopefully we are. I’d take a one year deal with the option of another year if we make the top four. Gives us the opportunity to part ways should we fail to make the play offs again next season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 A two year deal would be absolute stupidity by the board, so no doubt that's what will happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 30 minutes ago, Beachbum said: Hopefully we are. There is a lot of convincing to do after the last four months. In my view, awarding a new deal after it is actually the wrong the answer. I accept this is not a popular view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I want us to give McGlynn a two year deal. We should probably sort that statue too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 McGlynn isn’t going to sign a one year deal, IMO. Why would he? It’s a 2 minimum or nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Giving a 2 year deal to a man who couldn't manage us to a single home win in 2022 would be stupidity in my opinion. There is a decent chance we'll be sacking him before Christmas so it would also be financially irresponsible, but hey, the board have previous for that also, don't they? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tumilty and Musonda leave, I’d keep Bene, and perhaps even McKay, as (hopefully) reserves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
