Dunning1874 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Interested to see how he does after such a big break from management, but he's a huge improvement on Roberts anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 He should be a good appointment for you guys. He built a solid foundation for us that McNamara took over from with next to no money. Loves a defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott666 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Loves a defender. Considering that Beattie was playing centre back on Saturday they probably need a few.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QosLoyal Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Supported them all his life IMO. Should be solid enough appointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeathrowAUFC Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 That'll do for me. A manager, a proper manager at long last. No stab in the dark, no hit & hope. 8th place at worse please Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrboy Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Agree, solid manager, 7th or 8th will do this season, hopefully get the kids on the park. Lets hope any off field issues don't appear and when he was at Airdrie he never had anything good to say about us. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TOPFITTER Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 According to twitter Ian McCall has been unveiled as new Ayr United manager Will he plunder Stranraer FC for his former Queen Of The South protege and ex- Killie player, Wullie Gibson???? Can hear the gnashing of teeth already at the thought of it !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonTon Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I was half expecting us to appoint McCall in the summer, would've thought it was a fair enough appointment. Duffy hadn't even crossed my mind. By those standards it's an excellent appointment by Ayr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Yeah I'm pretty happy with this. McCall clearly has some issues but he's built decent teams in the past. Onwards and upwards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can hear the gnashing of teeth already at the thought of it !!!!! Signed until the end of the season.Jamie Adams was linked with Ayr last season and McCall is a big fan. Wouldn't be surprised to two reunited. McCall hates Stranraer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thediamonddude Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Excellent appointment by Ayr and one that I certainly think will give them a superb chance of staying up! When we sacked Jimmy Boyle, McCall would have been my first choice to replace him - always rated the man as a very good manager. I know towards the end of his tenures at Queens and then Thistle, he had his critics but I thought he did a great job in his year and a bit with us. The league has certainly just gotten a bit more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 He is a superb manager and is a cracking appointment for Ayr. As other Jags fans have said he very much laid the foundations for where we are now; signing the core of our promotion winning team and generally just making us into a proper club again after the horrors of Dick Campbell. I'm amazed it has taken him this long to get another job. Good luck for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 He came in when Thistle were in a complete mess and stabilised us. I'd expect the same thing to happen here. Good appointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevemc81 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Plenty of experience, unlike our last couple of managers, but I think it's a bit risky appointing someone who's been out of the professional game for such a long time. At the very least he should have a sound grasp of tactics and maybe because he's a bit older he'll project some authority over the squad, both of which I felt Roberts struggled with.
