Gutted he's took the shitebag route at least before the Morton game in a few weeks. Was looking forward to a real shame game that sends him over the edge. 

The most inevitable outcome Scottish Football has ever seen though - right up to the having a go at the fans towards the end.

Hopefully Falkirk's the next destination for him and his ragtag collection of merry men in L1 next season.

When he has literally resigned from every manager's job he has had...

Not quite this early though...

It'll be a season of two halves. The first is limping along until Christmas while trying not to be cut adrift. The second will depend entirely on the first.

Agree with this, hopefully most people will be of this opinion. Back the team, expect little and everything we gain is a bonus until the next window. Whether Smith sanctions any transfers before the end of the loan / FA window remains to be seen, but bringing in a midfielder is an absolute must if we can to try paper over the cracks.

Not going by his time at the Rovers.

Tbf, he was only at Raith rovers for a short stint. Picking up the pieces left by Gary Locke. Didn't save Raith unfortunately. 

Inverness and Falkirk look better on his management CV.

He does normally last a bit longer overall.

Although in terms of having signed last season's Morton losers - from an October season start he left in December. That's pretty similar to a July start and departure in September.

Damn. Damn, damn an dammit. Don't you Ayr folks think you've acted a tad hastily there? Down Palmerston way it looked like agent Hopkin was doing a fine job ...... we might have to try and win some points now.

If you're going down the Hughes route, make sure you ask his views on homophobia.

Most of us are just fitba supporters from working class Ayrshire, we'll leave all that garbage to others Thanks.

I wouldn't hold your breath for a Duffy 4-4-2. He loved a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 when he was with us. 

If either of those formations would use actual midfielders in midfield that can create chances then it's still an improvement on what we've watched.

Locke left us in an extremely precarious position. Hughes tipped us over.

4-3-3 wouldn’t be a bad shout in fairness. Provided at least one of the midfielders can get forward and support our loan striker.

McAdams

McAllister
Muirhead
Fjortoft
Reading

Chalmers
Murdoch
Maxwell

O’Connor
Adeloye
Moffat

It’s really hard to comprehend how someone that has played at the level of football he has, to set up the way he does  - both in terms of tactics and personnel.

Houston in and McAllister at CM in place of Chalmers IMO.

There's very little in common with the skills of a soldier and a general. Plenty of excellent footballers make useless, clueless managers who act nothing like they did as players.
