Perhaps you could elaborate that big statement? The initial discussions were instigated by Ormiston not Pencaitland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ormistonforever Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 If the merger was to happen the incoming people from pencaitland would try and run the club! From what i have heard the contact about a merger was from pencaitland! Its no secret that pencaitland have been looking to get into the eos and they think this is the easiest way of doing it! Im not saying Ormiston dont need help but merging with Pencaitland is not the answer as after the 1st season id doubt if there was any of the original comitee or players there! Only my opinion though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Ormiston Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 From my experience of any business , football or commercial, there is no such thing as a merger, it always turns out to be a takeover but I do know from a long time following football at different levels that when a new management team comes in it means that they bring their own players in and eventually the existing players leave or are sidelined. Happens all the time at all levels and it would probably happen if the Pencaitland merger went ahead based on their management team coming in. I don't know anything about Pencaitland or the management team but if there was an agreement that it was just the manager and x number of players to create a balanced squad and the Ormiston Committee remained as it is for this season to get the club back on a stable basis that might be a compromise. However isn't there a bit about the current Ormiston players who may choose not to sign for the new manager, that is their choice and I am pretty sure they would find other teams who wanted them, not neccesarily EOS, indeed I would think the players already have a plan B given sorting this out is taking so long.

Ollie Ormiston Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 PS - Is Pie and Bovril really the right place to sort all this out as I sense some of those posting are more directly involved than perhaps they will admit to on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joemuz Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Having played for Pencaitland and tranent under brian johnston i know for a fact he would take the club forward if a merger did take place. as for folk trying to take over the club i think it has been pointed out below that Ormi need some new blood to come in and work with the current commitee so the club progress in the correct way. They probably be asking me to play if they can't get the numbers ! Aye not the greatest position to be in and we had the same problems for the last couple of months of last season , not knowing who was going to be available for games, poor turnouts for training etc. Fresh blood, yip, but who is willing to step up and help in what looks like a bit of a lost cause. It isn't and we'll get there - we had same issues about attracting players start of last season thats why we need to completely re-build this season. I think John was all for chucking it in as well but he doesn't want to see Ormi ceasing to exist so he is working as hard as he can to make sure that doesn't happen - credit to him for giving it a go when it would have been easier to say **** it , I don't need all the hassle.

ormistonian Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Lost ma pace you got me thinking o the 2003 team tell me if am wrong but were these people in squad budgie in goals. Back 4 renwick big al massive kerr n wee Tommy midfield is where a struggle a can only think o Jake Cameron n a boy called Ian. Upfront Graham Brown,Scott mckenzie n cheyne n possibly spike but think he was at Whitehill that year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ormistonian Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 For me the problem is not all ormistons fault although it would help wi a local coach to get players in but do these players really want to play in east of Scotland 2nd division with trips to eyemouth n Gretna without a bit of expenses paid out which the club have tried to raise after the whole village received lottery sheets thru doors but a don't think they got much responce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost ma pace! Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Lost ma pace you got me thinking o the 2003 team tell me if am wrong but were these people in squad budgie in goals. Back 4 renwick big al massive kerr n wee Tommy midfield is where a struggle a can only think o Jake Cameron n a boy called Ian. Upfront Graham Brown,Scott mckenzie n cheyne n possibly spike but think he was at Whitehill that year Fraser Carver Tommy Donnely Graham Renwick Fraser McQueen Richie Gerret Graeme Morrison Craig Smith Jamie Murray Irish James Fonz Alan Brownlie David Cheyne Kerr Thomson Lawrie Tulloch Not a big squad but only never went up on goal difference. Hard working, solid team with a good mix of youth and experience. Have Ormiston advertised for a manager? Sure there are a few coaches or ex players that would fancy the gig. Need people to know that Murray has left. Played for Brian and definately a different type manager to Murray. No doubt he would bring in a few solid players to boost the squad but would want to run the club. Maybe the club needs this type of change to attract the better amateur players as that is the only way they can progress with lack of funds etc. I would rather see that than a good club die. Still some decent players in the Fishers, Nisbet and Mcewan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ormistonian Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Yeah theyre decent. How could a forget the fonz Jake mustve been before that. The problem is if pencaitland did come in a just can't see any of the current board nd greenhorn staying n he won't give club up Breeks is sound and attracts good players to a level below them.

I can assure you I wouldn't want to run the club, our interest was purely improving the current Ormiston squad. Football is all about opinions and the current committee seem extremely reluctant to bring in fresh faces, it's a shame, not even the courtesy of an informal face to face chat?

ormistonian Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Obviously they can't put the fall out from years ago behind them although you wouldnt want to run the club which I have no problems with I just can't see Ollieormiston n John sticking around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasgae junior Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 get robin laing in as your manager, he will pump money in the club and attract players I am sure he does bonnyrigg rose girls 15s surely if ormiston cant raise a team, a merger is the best option, let pencaitland bring their best players and supplement it with the ormiston lads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ormistonian Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 That's the thing bar maybe 4 ormi players would get a game the fishers,Brian nd the full back cause woods cheeky n buckets n Joe Murray if still there would run that league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie Ormiston Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ollie Ormiston just wants the situation settled - couldn't give a monkeys who is Manager as long as they improve the club, put in place a squad of players who can be relied on and impose a discipline that says starting a game is based on attitude, performance and being a team player - and if you don't start, accept being a sub cos you could be called on anytime, from the first minute to the last minute of a game to contribute to the team.

ormistonian Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 For me now with the new management in place which is a great appointment we need to generate income a know our crowd's r not great but a would start with putting collection buckets at the steps and the hill. Am sure bj will ave the pubs in ormiston selling the lottery n now with being a more local club we maybe can get push for a new hot water pipe to mobile huts which the snp rejected a few years ago getting into the Scottish would be amazing. On the playing side top 3 would be realistic for ormiston to aim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
