Shadwell Dog Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Signing of McManus papered over a lot of cracks at the time. Some of those were decent signings just McKinnon wouldn't bloody play them. Todarov and lavery for instance playing second and third fiddle to Aaron bloody Jarvis was just feckin ludicrous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) I see there are reports on the COYB page (possibly to be taken with a pinch of salt) that the club is struggling to pay players’ wages and that directors are being investigated by the information commissioner for breach of GDPR. Also being reported that the interim youth coach and all youth scouts have resigned. Edited April 14, 2022 by PedroMoutinho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only people that need investigating are the old bod. Edited April 14, 2022 by Shadwell Dog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it a very smart and cunning ploy by the new board to let every, single shite player in our squad leave under breach of contract ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Some absurd rumours floating about at the moment. The fact that none that I have heard so far correlate in anyway with each other makes me think that 99% is utter shite and somebody has a vandetta against some or all of the new board. I take very little notice of the page but the COYB facebook has some posters peddling an unprecedented level of shite. Seems to be a case of when there are no leaks from the board room - the made up stories have to sound more ludicrous to fill the void. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FFC1965 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 It's sad but true that McKinnon's recruitment can simultaneously be judged as both (i) poor and (ii) materially better than recent recruitment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieBairn Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Great news. Let’s actually get a fucking grip and appoint the right man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Weird arrangement. He's leaving at end of season but he's not in charge of final games of the season but he's helping plan for next season but the club have already started looking for a new manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 For me McKinnon brought in a squad that should've been safe of relegation and won league one. His problem was managing the team. A fair amount of donkeys in his recruitment and players that never got a game but should've stayed up and won league one with the players he brought in. Our best player in onwards from that recruitment would be ? If its Morrison then that shows how poor it's got and it's no surprise we are fuked 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bairn88 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 But wait wait, we’ve had numerous posters coming on here saying they’ve heard Rennie is getting the gig next season and heard worrying things from FSS meetings? New board not being leaky has really caused the freaks in our support to come out 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 The only decision that could be made in the circumstances. “Stabilising results” is an interesting assessment though given that he has a worse PPG record than Sheerin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Definitely for the best for all concerned. Tried his best but ultimately completely failed. The personal abuse that the man had to endure was completely out of order and shows up the nasty element in our support. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I wish no harm to him but it's definitely the right thing for the club. I was relatively happy with his appointment at the time but it's been a disaster. Six month deal was a good move by the board and they should be commended for that. I get the arguments for wanting a (relatively) safe pair of hands like Johnston but I'd like to see us taking a bit of a longer term approach. People won't agree because "am sick ae rookies!" but I'd like to see us go after Scott Brown or Marvin Bartley. Give them a couple of years to try and put a plan in place. Both have been really good professionals and I think players would want to play for them. We can win the last three games 12-0 - Kenny Miller should not even be in consideration on a longer term basis. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrispPancake Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 hang on, He's the coach, but he won't be coaching as he's leaving, but he'll still hang around like a bad smell and take a wage till the end of the season and help with things instead of just f*cking off. surely this is an ending that the publishers would cut out and go back to the author and tell him, 'Naw, try again' -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilostmyself Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Really thought it would work out for Rennie and I do actually think the club deserve a bit of credit for trying something different and particularly for making it a 6 month deal. However, it was a complete disaster start to finish and he absolutely could not have been given an extension. Even if you believed in Rennieball, keeping him on would have been so toxic in terms of people renewing season tickets etc. No idea who will come in next and what sort of scope they'll have for rebuilding but it is a huge appointment for the club. Pretty much nothing to build on in the current squad, no youths, a (justifiably) mutinous support and the club not exactly flush with cash, get your applications in now! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
