diegomarahenry Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Whyte might fit the head coach role if it is only about coaching. I don’t think he is interested and a few people I know who know him say he isn’t the right type of person to be a boss. It’s not clear if Mathie will be doing the recruitment or just negotiating for players identified by the manager/head coach, there will be plenty of good coaches out there that perhaps won’t want to deal with the other aspects of a traditional managers role. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I wondered if Whyte might he an option as an auld heid for the new manager. However, I quickly remembered he was Roberts Assistant Manager and given the unmitigated disaster that involved I think he's best placed at the Academy. Also, I think he actually does the Head of Academy role pretty well so why jeopardise that if we don't need to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His part in the Roberts experiment was a link between the academy and the first team, he brought through Forrest and Crawford and latterly McGuffie in that time. Having said that, having a manager who takes an interest in the academy talent would bridge that gap without Whyte having to move 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) What former Ayr player was it that Absoulotely ripped into Davie Whyte on the Craig Telfer podcast? Basically accused him of snaking Roberts. Was it Paddy Boyle? ETA: Wouldn’t of been Boyle as he was a McCall signing Edited December 26, 2021 by ayrunitedfw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense as McLaughlin was one of Roberts auld pal signings and would never have wanted him sacked. I've never heard anything to suggest White is one for the watching though and I know for a fact he puts his heart and soul into the academy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claire on the AU media stream spoke very highly of his work. Not sure who Claire is though, assume she works at the Academy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign his pals and act like one of the lads. Actually bumped into him in a shop whilst on the phone to Roxanne. I said 'Oh, There's Mark Roberts, How you doing?' As a nice guy would, before Roxanne blurts out on Loudspeaker 'Is that no the knob-end ye wanted punted!? Tell em he's pish!'

Lochwood Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Well sat next to Neil Scally today and had a good blether with him thro the game Thistle are looking for another wide player Tiffoney like no commitment about any player other than he thinks Maxwell and Reading are good players. Asked who. The best team in the league is apart from thistle and like me he said Inverness. Will they go up, yes if they get the wide player they are after, but he said there pitch is really bad due to two teams plating on it and they are worried it could jeopardise there chances. Can I also say he was cheering every goal and complimenting the Ayr players throughout the game stayed to the death not like other guys scouting games still has a big thing for Ayr Thistle apart, he also said he had a big say when Docherty went to Thistle there families go way back on and off the pitch. Apart from the result really enjoyed meeting him today and he feels we have the players to stay up and with a couple of additions might surprise a few like today. The big question on Mcginty he just said we-offloaded him as he just continued to do his own thing week in and out terrible individual mistakes until he was told if he didn’t listen he’d be out and the rest is history. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Anyone else want to "strike whilst the iron is hot" and play Killie next week? Saw their gk got sent off so not sure of it's a 1 or 2 game ban. Maxwell was great today. I hear his old man is an Ayr fan but a few months back stranraer posted something about him being a mascot when he was young and it says his dad supports them. Unsure if they meant them or us. Regardless, hope he stays and we build on that great performance today 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping to carry the monentum from today into that. When in Feb can we squeeze it in? Midweek? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
