UpInTheAyr Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Wonder if the compensation for McCall and Scally will cover the black hole that the Talbot and Alloa results apparently cost us last season, no matter how much we get it will be going to go back into running the club be very surprised to see any of it put into the playing budget or compensation for a manager currently in job.Be lucky if it covers new paper towels for the dispensers in the North Terrace toilets 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Someone on one of the threads mentioned earlier that McCall was on a rolling month to month contract. Is there any truth in it? His contract details haven't been made public the last couple of seasons, which made me think it might be something along those lines 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any truth in it? Yeah, but Scally isn’t. If McCall is half the man he likes the portray, he’s maybe wangled Ayr a decent compo. He got us a good sell on fee for Rose when he went to Coventry on a pre contract for letting him go down during training etc so you never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry had absolutely no incentive to agree it and he went on freedom of contract. I’d be willing to bet that comes out in the wash should he move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may look the “cheap” option, but we need stability now. When we appointed McCall we needed a fresh face, something new. Now we need someone who knows the team/board etc to keep the club going in an upwards direction. He has plenty of experience and it’s no coincidence we’ve looked a real attacking threat from when he started coaching. Very short term stability helps us however in the near future we may need to build a team again. A combination of youngsters being sold, older players and injuries catching up with us. Don’t know enough about Stewart to judge him really but would rather take a safer option 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can be more safer than a guy who knows all the players inside out , has worked with them for approx 15 months , attended and participated in every training session , this guy is far more experienced than most of the names being banded about , more the save option than the cheap option in my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I'm sure for an owner who's been looking to sell the club, looking for a new manager is the last headache he needs, so wouldn't be surprised if Stewart gets it permanently, barring an absolute disaster run of games. Needs to bring in a couple of assistants though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay21 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Plenty of experience, believe it or not McCall did not run the team on his own , why do you think he was instrumental in getting Sandy Stewart on board when we did not have a budget for an extra coach ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There weren't many more secure managers in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 His record is OK as a manger all be it most if those games were about league one level, he's one of those guys like Archie Knox etc that you always think of more as an assistant/coach. Personally I think he will have it to the international break in November and then they will reassess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I don't understand, from a career point of view, why any manager would jump from a promotion prospect that would help their career, too a relegation prospect at an equally unstable club. Surely Patrick aren't paying much more than what Ayr were? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
