Alloas not a big place mate- folk know people and news travels. Whether you think the hotly rumoured guy will be a success or not, curious to the reasoning as to why we deserve better than a guy who was managing in the Scottish Prem a season ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegetableman Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Rice would be ok with me , he knows how to make a club survive with less of a budget we could do worse . we are not going to get much better for what we are . QOTS are after him as well apparently so he may be talking to both clubs he also wanted the falkirk job before they appointed rennie Edited February 17, 2022 by Vegetableman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printer Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Given our league position, we need someone experienced to come in and be able to come in quickly (if MM can't persuade AG). If it's Rice he ticks both of those boxes. Edited February 17, 2022 by printer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Gritters have already lined the laybys from Tranent to Alloa on standby to make sure the unveiling goes without a hitch. Apparently has said he picked Alloa because the fans deserve better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rice has two years as a gaffer under his belt and got his team relegated. He's hardly experienced. He's old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vespa Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) IF it is Brian Rice it's a bit underwhelming BUT when you're third bottom of the third tier in Scottish football you're not the most "attractive" employer.

OldCrabbitWasp Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I think we need a little perspective here. We are a team struggling in league 1 and we may be employing a manager who was managing in the premier league just last year with okay results, on a limited budget and who also likes to promote youth where possible.If he does get the job, let's give him full backing. Things can only get better, maybe not immediately, but in the longer term. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
