Redwedge77 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 It’s a club that you look over the years, the managers that have been here… they’ve always been good managers who’ve progressed in the game so once I met the chairman and saw the facilities, it’s the right club at the right time. My sole aim in the next year is to try and get straight back into the Championship. I’ve spoken to one or two [players]. I’ll get round all the boys in the next couple days. There’s a good core of players already signed up. If I can go add a good bit of quality to go and help those players… the players already signed up are players I rate very highly… Hopefully in the next week or two we’ll see players coming in.Barry Ferguson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The home end will be full of the Wee County Loyal this season, so there's that. Shame this Ferguson horseshit is overshadowing the departure of Stevie Hetherington. Really is the end of an era. Hopefully the plan is to achieve a new disciplinary record next season, and he didn't want to let it affect our performances 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeodhasXD Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Would like to thank @KierenAAFC for pointing out that Barry is an MBE. I can collect all my staunch points this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even with Ferguson doing the usual shit you get and hear from Rangers fans, like it does not mean the guy is a bigot who hates catholic’s. Yes you shouldn’t be saying and singing that shit but you can’t judge or hate a guy based off of that it’s way too common in Scotland, sad but true, the amount of genuine bigots is very low and people need to realise that. DC still regularly gets called a bigot and I’ve never seen a guy that loves life and people as much as he does. This is just utter pish and why we have a problem with sectarianism. Passing it off as "ach it's just a wee song for a bit of banter, he isn't actually up to his knees in ****** blood" is how these c***s continue their nonsense. "The amount of genuine bigots is very low" is just hilarious, apologist pish. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they've been convinced for years that Mike Mulraney is a Celtic fan, but surely they aren't that petty. Oh, right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's a case of waiting your turn for the big boys unfortunately. Still record numbers on the website for concurrent users. The other platforms that have lead with the impending appointment have a far bigger reach than Alloa Athletic so in that respect it's a win from me for Barry Ferguson Alloa manager even though I couldn't be the one to break the news. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand the antipathy towards Barry Ferguson (both re his history and apparent management abilities), but if we are genuinely after him then I'm happy to back Mulraney's judgement. The Rangers thing doesn't bother me, even although I detest that club and what it stands for. Any Alloa manager or player starts with a clean sheet for me. His high profile nature is a big positive IMO, both in terms of attracting players and general coverage of our club. I appreciate that may all back fire. ☺ Agree with printer here. I wouldn't have gone for Ferguson and I'd have concerns about some of his baggage and his previous managerial record. Obviously poor at Clyde and his achievement at Kelty is questionable given the budget. However, the chairman has a good record with his managerial appointments and we have to trust that after speaking to Ferguson he believes he is still a work in progress and that he has learned over the past few years. Hopefully that is the case rather that just going for someone with profile. That's a slight concern but I trust MM and I hope Ferguson is a great success for us. Hopefully he can make a few strong signings as the existing nucleus, while it is still decent, really needs freshening up. Disappointing about Stevie Hetherington but he has made terrific progress over the last few years, from a fringe player initially and all set to be let go to becoming a real pivotal figure. Some of his performances last season were excellent, the home defeat against Hearts is one that sticks out where I thought he was as good as anything on the field with a mix of controlled aggression and clever midfield play. He has earned a crack at full-time football. All the best Stevie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family is as catholic as you could get, you offended on our behalf? How people treat each other is much more important than some stupid songs. Yes they shouldn’t get sung and yes more needs to be done but you can’t judge a persons character based off of that. Maybe different if you’re marching in an orange walk but for the vast majority they’re just seen as football songs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
