Robertson in particular isn’t likely to uproot for what Ayr would pay him, considering he could trouser a salary in Inverness for the medium term. I said they were unlikely. But there is no way either are unrealistic if they were Glasgow based. So unrealistic then. Along with Petrie, before that name get's brought back up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His success at this level was with part time Dumbarton 7/8 seasons ago now. I agree wrt. Smith. In hindsight, the Hopkin appointment was a result of naivety. I imagine he's learnt a lot from going through it and should be more thorough and careful next time round. Of equal, if not more importance, is the backroom team that any new manager would bring with them. That can make a huge difference at our level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petrie will struggle to get a full time job if he doesn’t relocated of have a long commute. He signed a new deal recently so I doubt he’ll go anywhere for a while. We need a manager with experience but also one young enough to have the desire to make a name for themselves. Hopefully Duffy can work with them to keep them right. I see Murphy as a good fit in to that set-up but again, location may be a stumbling block for him. Coming up a couple of days a week is one thing when he was a player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Petrie is the only one i'd merely consider from the league below and his contract isn't up until 2023 so there'd be no difference to going with him now or waiting to approach in the summer. Not entirely sure who else you'd look at currently employed and say "i want him", Dick Campbell wouldn't entertain us, same for John Robertson i'd of thought, McCall won't come back and there's nobody really doing a punching above their weight job in the premiership. Puts you down the kind of inexperienced ex-players looking to get into management which going by our record of Kerr and Roberts has been nothing short of a disaster. James McFadden could be interesting, would either be a masterstroke or disaster IMO. Stuart Kettlewell/Peter Houston could be posibillity, realistically Petrie, Robertson, McFadden, Kettlewell would be the only 4 i'd consider 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFadden might make a decent assistant or coach but doesn't comes across like he'd be suited to being a manager. Someone like a Stephen McManus or Brian Gilmour who may be inexperienced but, unlike Kerr and Roberts, at least have been coaching for a while is who I'd consider if they were wanting to be 1st team managers, as it won't happen at their current clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMIP Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 The fact that Dave Smith is following the Marine U23s manager on Twitter is surely fodder for a good rumour? An appointment we could surely all get behind…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my fingers crossed Ayr play like they did the second half last week. The "commentators" last week were talking about the second half of the Raith Rovers game in the same way English commentators always talk about the 1966 World Cup Final. Embarrassing. They got muted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarrassing. They got muted. Yeah, the commentary is pretty naff. I also hate the continuous and constant reminder of 1966, which I'm certain majority of people out with England do. There has to be a couple o' good commentators in Ayr that would do a decent job. MattmanAufc on YouTube would do a fantastic job me thinks. Would put myself forward for it but I don't think I could refrain from profanity, especially the way the seasons going. Then I'd do the 'Remember the Andy Walker penalty!?' constantly, in the same manner as the 1966 pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUcal Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 This is a truly awful squad. We've shown an ability to grind out occasional results in this league but today, much like firhill, was absolutely pathetic. Big changes needed in January to keep us away from danger, not sure how much we'll actually be able to do though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
