Just like our chairman does. This could be a massive lure to leave a buoyant Arbroath to come fight a relegation battle to the Lowland League. Don't worry no one wants to come to Cowden. Even I find it hard to visit CP these days. Board need to get the finger oot & appoint the dream team of Nelly & Big Al with Scotty G as 1st team coach fast. Nelly is far too crabbit and Big Al doesn’t go to away games, so come on down Scottie G! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've also got Jesus Garcia Tena on their books now. Granted, with the exception of Shepard (who could be a very good loan signing), these guys won't be match fit but if and when they get up to speed, they could be the difference for City. Josh Walker also looks like a good player. Billy Brown is telling us that no one wants to come to Cowdenbeath and it's so hard to attract experienced players. Other clubs manage it so why couldn't he? He obviously wasn't looking hard enough. Farid El Alagui. who played pre-season as a trialist, and Jesus Garcia Tena could be classed as Gary Jardine discoveries. To be fair James McDonaugh has brought in Shepherd and must have one or two other targets in sight for signing in January. Maybe this chap fancies a gig- scored a few goals last season and he prefers playing on grass to plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence to Gary but I would view that as a negative appointment. Yes he has done tremendous in guiding City to the SPFL but I would be worried any potential appointment of him was a safety net of his knowledge and experience of the lowland League should the worst happen.

1320Lichtie Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 At no point did I say he was. No you said I was just listing my favourite players. I was listing Campbell’s guys that he’s finally now managed to bring to the club, giving them 2 years, he’s not going to throw in the towel less than half way. That was my point.

Cowden316 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 http://www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2016/09/23/lewis-milne-lauds-high-standards-gruelling-demands-gary-bollan-forfar-athletic-keep-pace-manchester-city/ Gary Bollan continues to be my realistic number one choice and this article by Lewis Milne backs this up for me back in 2016. Bollans reputation for setting high standards to his players and gruelling training for fitness is exactly what our club needs just now as it has been lacking and has been evident on the park with the sheer lack of professionalism over the past seasons with the exception of Gary Locke working his magic. If Bollan were appointed with the aim of getting us out of the dangerzone then allowed to start building his squad for next season we could have a decent appointment going by his credentials which is credible rather than some newbie who can talk a good game. Results is what we need here and cannot afford to take risks. Bollan for me is the safe option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary was at the game on Saturday, in fact he was also at the EK cup tie just after he left City. He done a good job at Edinburgh City took them from mid table in the EOSL to winning the LL twice eventually getting them promoted and keeping them up. I would imagine he will have really good contacts in the non league/ Edinburgh football scene as most of what he done at City was when they were being watched by about 70-80 folk at home games so he will know how to build a team on a tight budget. Think your being a wee bit harsh on the guy 316 although if the worse came to the worse and we went down he would most certainly be a good guy to have in the league below as pointed out above. Just because he came from a non league back ground dosn't mean to say he isn't a good manager. Had plenty of folk who have been "names" and done very little in years gone by.

__connor123 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Might have been wrong but I thought I seen Jason Dair at the game on Saturday. Perhaps he'd be interested in coming back? Lacks managerial experience though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be an underwhelming appointment Andy. He left Edinburgh City as they were in a similar position to us in the SPFL this season. As I say no offence to the guy but City probably have a bigger budget than us and they are only one point in front of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't please everyone but this might be one of the most important managerial appointment in the clubs history. The board have a good track record when it comes to replacing someone during the season when we are faced with relegation Nicholl replacing Cameron giving us that famous EastEnd park joy to which we haven't had any joy since and Gary Locke galvanising the squad last season.
