The way things are going we could get seen off by Formartine and he will be in charge. Our current board of directors is run like a church committee. As an aside I think Paul Martin fell out with the Advertiser and stopped interviews, but at least he had the players to back him up on the pitch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean they do a lot of praying, quote the bible and there's always one of them taking umbrage and resigning? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did this go?? Any fireworks?? Going by the messageboard both Chairman and Manager have heads firmly in the sand. There is a suggestion that the Board cannot sack him as honouring contracts is not affordable and doesn't look as if Brogan will walk. Will be interesting cup game tomorrow as Rovers take on a mid table HL side - will be a goid guage as how they would fair against a handy Cove team although we all know the answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom & Gerry Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I would say Formartine are a lot better than a mid table HL side. They are not far behind Cove in ability terms with some useful players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternapper Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Rovers seem to have picked up a bit in the last couple weeks, have they or are they still mince. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board went for experience in Brogan which makes me ask, why do clubs always want experience even if the experience is bad??? Surely someone looked at his jnr record and said if he’s that good why has he not been given a top junior job ever?? Ian Murray wanted it but had to give 30 days notice to his current club he is with in Norway from what i hear as he is still contracted Are Airdrie having to wait 30 days Chris? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at their current league position which would suggest they score goals and ship goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have might doubts if the appointment of Ian Murray was ever on - how we could afford to pay his wages alone I just don't know.

airdrieman Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) Train up to Montrose was cancelled so went to the Foremartine game instead. Rovers are in a desperate way. A well-deserved win for United in the end even if Rovers got slightly more into the game in the 2nd half. They could still be playing now though and still wouldn't have scored. Rovers looked as if they had no idea what to do with the ball either. No running off the ball and meaningless possession any time they had the ball for most of the game. Don't think they won a 2nd ball all game either. If you didn't already know you would have thought Foremartine were the league team and the Rovers the non-league team. Rovers just didn't look up for it at all. I'm not surprised at all Brogan is away now. His appointment was a total farce in the first place and serious questions need to be asked of those who appointed him. I wouldn't go beyond asking for some resignations if you have enough bodies to be able to keep the club going without them. I'm not sure there's much any manager could do with the players Brogan has signed. They're honest and try their best I'm sure but they were totally outplayed by an average Highland League team and are clearly out of their depth. If there's no scope for bringing in players in January I'd be getting someone in to get the team organised for the playoffs NOW. Having said that you're not actually that far off Berwick and Stirling so if you can bring in the right man and he can organise you well enough, you could be able to catch them. Although they'll obviously be bringing in their own new managers too. Edited October 20, 2018 by airdrieman 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondOwl Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Now the Airdrie job is filled attention switches down the road, as the managerial merry-go-round continues. Obviously the person coming in is going to be determined to a large extent by the the salary on offer. They are also left with a very tough job, with little budget to improve the squad. So who are the favourites for you guys? What do you think of the following? (I'm not sure they'd all be in your budget, or you'd want any of them!).... Allan Moore (Assistant Mgr at Clyde), Stevie Aitken, Tom Courts (recently left Kelty), Tony McInally (recently left Pollok), Kevin McBride, Sandy Stewart, Jim Chapman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
