Reflects badly on the new board if true that they cannot keep it confidential apart from being stupid. Aye you’re right. Let’s get Deans and the PR guru back, they were much more professional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea and Busquets Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Hope this is announced soon and not a ploy to try and get a better deal at Raith. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proudtobeabairn Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) There's no evidence that our board have leaked anything here. As others have said, there are 2 boards and countless others who know exactly what's going on and so plenty of opportunities for the details to get out. Anybody deserves criticism when they do something daft (e.g try to sign DGW) but I can't see how the board can be criticised this time. I expect we'll hear by the end of this week if McGlynn is coming to us or if Raith have got near our offer (which I think is unlikely). I'm in the minority but I'm still not convinced he's the right man (and yes I know the stats etc suggest he should be) so I hope we're not offering a long contract to entice him Brad McKay style. Hopefully after the first few signings I'll be more at ease and of course I'll be fully behind him as I was with every other manager until they show they're not up to it.. I was happy with Rennie's appointment so I get the push for a more conservative option given how spectacularly he failed.

RC55 FFC Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Would be very happy if we do get McGlynn over the line (or the other one rumoured in Ian Murray). Throw in Liam Craig signing and that would be a good start to the close season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Looking at the Raith thread on P&B it would appear that their board are still negotiating with McGlynn to get him to stay, doesn’t look like this is a done deal yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dufresne Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Do i really want him as manager no. Do i think he is the right type of manager we need right now yes. my opinions don't matter all that matters is we stop the slide we have had in the last countless years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I think if Raith do actually want to keep him we’re a bit fucked. If I were a manager I’d definitely stay at a fairly secure job in a higher league than come to our mess, even for 10k+ less. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new board might have just sold him on the club, it’s new people at the helm now and we will be more of a steady ship now. Yes he would be dropping a league but we might just be a challenge that he will like! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the stumbling block would be about his salary, McGlynn left a higher paid job to come to Raith. It seems our Board are negotiating tonight with him and I’d assume he’ll be more interested in his budgets for next season. Falkirk might offer more but it’s a far bigger rebuild required and a risk if it all goes wrong. The job at Raith is simply continuing on from his previous seasons, it’s a safe job with little chance of getting canned unless he monumentally screws up (see DGW saga). I’d expect the negotiations are more about who he could bring in bearing in mind we’ve still got to punt DGW off the books and pay him off. If it was just about his own salary he’d already have signed with you. Will our board meet his demands 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t tell you, but the stadium is under Starks Park Properties LTD which is owned by John Sim but not part of Raith Rovers. John Sim also owns Raith Rovers but as a separate entity with Raith being his tenant. His last bizarre interview where he’d (threatened to close the club) he seemed more than comfortable with the financial liabilities including paying off DGW but outside that I’ve no idea. He’s more than capable of paying it but will it effect budgets next season? I’ve no idea but I guess that’s the negotiating tonight.

A few additions to the board but not a totally new board or CEO.Still have those who voted in favour of signing DG sitting including the new Chairman who took over from Sim(owner).He,ll be sitting in the background but suspect he,ll still be pulling the strings.
