Also thinks players should be able to play twice a day, seemed to argue with himself and then bemoaned the use of the term “trialist”. It’s like talking to some old lad in the pub. I liked the bit about how he doesn’t mind it being a working progress cos his working progress at alloa got to the quarter finals,. Forgotten they also got relegated, so I wouldn’t exactly say it was a successful approach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford was massively out of his depth and still got us 4th so anything less than a sustained title challenge would be going backwards IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting relegated doesn’t matter dafty, as long as you have a lot of possession and play football the right way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like he's already stated in his first post job media interview. That is his intent. His main focus, regards delivering that intent. I like clarity regarding ambition and intent, he's provided that. I'm more often positive than negative about new Managers coming in, because being honest I've been around long enough to have seen some Managers not being expected to succeed at certain clubs and end up doing so. Anyway, why wouldn't I offer my support to him?, he's been chosen to deliver us some level of success, therefore I aim to give the fella the benefit of the doubt rather than chosing to chib him on any opportunity before we've kicked off this season in earnest. If he fails, I'll be vocal, and maybe even irrational if we're being scudded every week, but that's worst case scenario for us as fans. Nah, I'm actually looking forward to seeing what transpires. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I'll reserve judgement for the results. From what I see in his interviews, he's setting big targets, wants players to push themselves and talks up his team rather than opponents. Yeah it's a bit of a blast from the past but the modern day sanitised personalities and interviews have hardly been a roaring success under Crawford and AJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammit Bawdeep Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I'm not sure his public confidence and ambition will sit comfortably with the current board. The last few seasons we have been the victim of a lack of ambition and it would appear, on the face of it, they were satisfied with the completely meh season we had last year (given their support for crawford after we were scudded by the wee team in the playoffs). I think Grant's positive approach and clear ambition for the club is a breath of fresh air however time will tell if it's just all talk, hopefully not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he has to prove that he's capable of delivering. If he doesn't and we're getting beaten every week and sitting bottom of the table, of course I'll voice my disapproval, that's faiirly standard stuff for supporters. 'Got it', no I don't think you did, perhaps deliberately so 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simple, I'm supporting his positivity, intent, ambitions, aspirations etc. No where did I say it was going to happen. Hopefully you shagging ambitions are level with Peter Grant's title ambitions. You might score a ride you weren't expecting 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he proves us all wrong or right, depending on outlook. That way we'd all be happy.... maybe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shiteness of the rest of the teams in the league does give me hope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
