Been going too long Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Just now, Raith_Raver said: My preference is for Paul Smith to take over McGlynn's mantle, but the status quo is fine. If Both go then I would expect a meh appointment followed by lower half of the table mediocrity. Same as last time when he left 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 More annoyed about Spencer leaving than McGlynn, I must say. However, let there be no doubt that the way the board have handled this has been grossly incompetent. I feel with these clowns in charge we'll be doomed whoever our next manager is. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Cancel the statue. That is a bit of a shit show from the Rovers, to be honest. Things were going too well up until December 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Been going too long Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I have supported the rovers since1991 and only decent managers we have had in that time is Sir Jimmy first time and Mcglynn, this is a sad day for the club and will set us back I fear but it looks like it’s happening 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Big call now required from our Board on who should replace him. Given their recent history on big calls I think a wee flutter on us ending up in the seaside league might be a sound investment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against The Machine Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Whether or not you think McGlynn is the right manager for the Rovers, the fact that the board haven't been able to keep him from leaving for a club in the division below is absolutely damning. We'll get nothing, but yet again we're crying out for transparency here. Why couldn't we compete with Falkirk? Are they offering more than the club think McGlynn is worth? Is it about budgets? Some of that might be "commercially sensitive" and what you might want to keep in house, but once again this board haven't earned the right. They're still hugely in deficit after the Goodwillie debacle. They've now lost out on a manager who was in situ. Explanations and plans are required. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) If Raith Rovers cant convince John Mcglynn to stay at the club, then that is an incredibly worrying sign when it comes to who else they could - particularly when he has left to join a club who haven't kept a manager for a whole season in the recent past.

Double Jack D Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I'm not hugely fussed for an explanation. If it was taking a big uplift in pay and an extended deal then I'm happy he's away as the last 6 months warranted nothing of the sort. Get the advert oot and start recruiting. We've not got the worst squad in the world so I refuse to believe we are not an attractive option for someone. Who tho, f**k knows! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might disagree on whether McGlynn should stay or not but what is now unfolding is absolutely shambolic. I do think there are some good options out there that would take us forward but I have zero faith in our board to make the right call. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough what I've heard is it's nowt to do with McGlynn's salary but a disagreement over the playing budget which has taken a hit for next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I still largely blame the board here but McGlynn helped make us a pariah and has now fucked off. Club legend status is now officially revoked. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was certainly good arguments for not renewing his contract to begin with. I just wish now that we’d gone down that route, announced it pre-Killie and he could have had an amicable send off and we could have the new man in the door already. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heid_The_Baw Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 23 hours ago, Michael W said: Oh dear, another John Sim interview/statement imminent ti explain this. 'McGlynn left cause we couldny play our star striker, who is a nice fella, an its all everyone else's fault. Ma baw, and if you aren't happy, bugger off and watch one of the other 41 teams'. Probably about sums it up if he does make an announcement. Whoever the PR person is at San Starko needs to ensure a microphone is never in front of Sims face again. Club needs to move on from the PR disasters, and won't while he still gets a voice. Unfortunately, money talks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
