If it’s not one of his mates that’s appointed him that’s even more of a concern as somebody has actually went through a due diligence and interview process then offered him the job thinking he’s the right person to take the team forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnschild Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I'd take a chance on Robbie Horn. Young enough, and deserves his chance of a full time gig (if he wants it) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are forgetting where we are, and how we have fallen. We are a mid table third tier club. Some fans will not like it, but that is a fact. Simply getting someone in who has known success with a positive attitude and some funds. Livingston (twice) and Gretna all succeeded with managers with some drive and money. Having money alone isnt the answer (3 attempts shows that). Get him in. At least (I presume), you don't have a say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did these candidates apply for the role? How did that process work? How specifically did Martin Rennie appear in a shortlist of 2? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An appointment like that would only work if we went 100% part time, he simply doesn't have what we need: getting the best out of shit-kicking bottom of the barrel full timers. He might do a job as backroom staff if we went hybrid but simply doesn't have the experience we need, for the top job, at this time. Any part time set-up would be short lived & a victim of its own success/failure. Success, we go up & go F/T again. Failure: we're probably out of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a pity that the money wasn’t theirs to spend. One gone from the league, the other should have been kicked out years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely even you see that ? Not at all. When Rennie was selected , I was really excited as I thought he would bring lots of fresh ideas to the club. It obviously hasn’t worked out but we were going nowhere with Sheerin and the BOD had the foresight to only give him a short term contract. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but I think it was worth taking the chance. I would imagine he would come over well at interview and I certainly don’t blame anyone for going with him. I think we now need someone with experience who knows our league and, hopefully, we will get some news fairly soon. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, Rennie was a name that I mentioned any time we've had the vacancy in the past few years because he had a decent record and I felt that he would bring some new thinking and ideas and possibly some decent young American players. I was wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooBairn Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I honestly don’t even know why Rennie staying is a conversation. Give him some modest targets (not even a league placing) to achieve in his time and he’s failed on them all… - Improve win percentage…. Fail - Be more competitive against teams above us in the league…. Fail - Improve individual player performances (Williamson, Hetherington etc)…. Fail - Improve on style of play / set up / in game management… Fail - More open communication with fans on performances and improvements… Fail 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
