Sinclair Street Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Good appointment. Probably too late to push for a play-off place this season but I'd expect him to steer you to safety. Ayr will be a good shout for top four next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediocre Pundit Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 McCall's a limited manager but is fine up until mid-table Championship, especially with no money. Great appointment for Ayr - hope you do well and wouldn't be surprised to see Thistle loan you a few young players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I would have much rather had McCall as manager last summer than Jim Duffy. I reckon that's going to be a good appointment for Ayr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I would have much rather had McCall as manager last summer than Jim Duffy. I reckon that's going to be a good appointment for Ayr. Not saying this as a criticism of McCall, but I'd rather have had cholera than have Jim Duffy as Morton manager so that's not saying much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LargsTON Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 McCall was my choice for Morton manager before we appointed Thumbhead. Excellent move by Ayr, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Your first signing will be John Henry. I wonder if he'll persist with 3-5-2 or if he has moved on from it. Wasn't the best of managers for us. At times the football was dire, but then, we had some dire players (some of the worst ones being the ones he brought in). I think he'll do a decent enough job at Ayr though and there is far worse out there. A p***k of a man, but a p***k I will always be thankful of. Firstly, keeping us in Division 1. I dread to think where we'd be today had we went down that year. Secondly, bringing the best player to have graced the pitch of Palmerston in decades; Stephen Dobbie. He must be a decent man manager I imagine. He completely transformed Dobbs and I can remember Willie Gibson screwing the nut as well; resulting in a move to a higher division as well.

SheldonCooper Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Fantastic appointment who will still have good contacts. I wonder if he can convince Aaron Muirhead and John Baird to sign. Both released by their clubs this week!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both released by their clubs this week!!! Muirhead has signed for Falkirk as far as I am aware. Baird won't drop down unless he gets the same he was getting at QoS. He's rumoured to be going to Falkirk as well anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'm happy with him, he'll certainly not put up with the shite some of our experienced pros are dishing up on a weekly basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuya Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I really wanted Lennon but certainly think this will turn out to be a good appointment for us. This group of players proved they can play a bit at the start of the season before utterly collapsing. Fingers crossed we can start flying up the table.

I did have a similar thought when I was typing the post, but I thought I would be the bigger man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 If he was quite the Arrigo Sacchi figure made out on here then he wouldn't have spent years out of the game and only picked up by the country's worst full-time side. Still probably an improvement on Roberts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 None of the candidates thrilled me to be honest, but McCall hasn't failed at a lower level, Jeffries has (quite recently) Stark hasn't been great in his short spells at club management and Calderwood hasn't been at this level Underwhelmed but not disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young buck Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The fact he's damaged goods is endearing to me. This is a far more exciting appointment than a turgid attempt at another potentially got potential guy. A few results go for him and I can see a wee swell of interest start to pulse through the apathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
