Guest Ecosse83 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Yogi would be a vast improvement in McKinnon. If he has dialled his ego down a touch then I'd have him back over the vast majority of names being banded about. Yogi or Coyle, no trainer for me! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senor Bairn Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Yogi dragging Lex out into the middle of the park at half time for a pashunit scudding would be much better entertainment than the cross bar challenge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonestAl Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Darren Young, currently East Fife Manager, would be an excellent appointment. 4 years or so of management experience, and proven at improving his two clubs - Albion Rovers and East Fife. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Just not feeling the Yogi love in here, massively different club from when he managed us before where we had the likes of the academy and also we were in the premier and a bit cash in the bank for pay off of players to get rid we cant afford that this time. The only thing at the moment is he would kick some arses in amongst the players but if he was to do the Raith approach and berate them all publicly then that would be another manager gone. Unless there are other things put into the equation i.e. takeover by another party that wanted Yogi involved as a stipulation ? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Approached him last season but turned it down due to his loyalty to the ayr chairman. I would have liked a Mark Kerr, Lee Miller double act but it's too late for that now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_mcshug Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 No faith at all in the current lot to make a decent appointment. As for the mental shouts for yogi, he would fit in well with the current board as both have been on a steady decline for the past 10 years... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not yogis biggest fan but I'd have him over loads of other names being mentioned. You will have to explain the 10 hear decline from him to me though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then his success in the Scottish cup fell into his lap due to a bottle job by the opposition that day (). He did well with us although sometimes I wonder how much of that was down to having latapy as the tactics were basically to give it to Russell. Anyway, as well as he did with us, it's been mediocre elsewhere he's done nothing to suggest he could repeat the kind of success he had with us first time round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 My opinion on Yogi as somewhat mellowed retrospectively but I wouldn't have him back. I always felt that a large part of our success in that period was in spite of him rather than because of him, and the myth of us playing attractive football was just that - a myth written by journalists who watched us for half an hour a season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough it's all about opinions I suppose. There's probably no point in debating Yogi anyway, the current board probably wouldn't want to give him the job anyway! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 The next manager appointment is crucial in many ways. We will never get a manager whilst we are in league one that will unite all the fans, but we should be aiming for someone the majority can get behind and support. The club needs a bit of galvanising after what’s happened. Now, whether this would happen with the current board in place, I doubt, but the manager can help with this.I can’t remember who mentioned it, but I would be looking for the next manager to be able to coach the current group of players to get the best out of them, rather than rip it up and start again. The squad is more than capable of winning this league, provided they are coached correctly. They are nobody’s favourite group of players. However they are capable. At the end of the season when we got relegated I’d have loved Mark Kerr with Lee Miller, but that moment has passed. I doubt Housty would come back after what’s happened but would be good at least until the end of the season. With the above being the case I’d be looking at Jim McDonaugh. Knows the club already after being Housty’s assistant for 3 years. Since he took over Edinburgh City only Lennon, Gerrard and Neilson have had better win percentages of people managing Scottish league clubs (50.98%).He might not unite all fans, but I imagine it would be more underwhelmed rather bitter divide like some managers may cause, and believe a coach like him could be what we need to help these players win this league for us. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this. The managers that can both build teams and coach are few and far between. Houston could coach but couldn't build a team. A lot of our players are on 2 year contracts so we can't just ditch the team and buy another one so we need a coach who can make do with what he has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BendtnerBairn Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 James McDonaugh is a no brainer for me. Deserves his chance after two successful seasons with Edinburgh City. Get Blair Henderson in Jan aswell. That gives him a month to work his accountancy notice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
