Peterhead 2018/19

[NewBlue 173]

I was going to add a comment to the 17/18 season thread but I think I would just be repeating what others have said so why not look ahead a bit!

So who would you like to see stay and who do you want to see go? I think on the whole we don't have a bad group of players but probably need to make some changes, especially at the back. I think Rory and Willie are the only two who are signed so far?

Thought on potential managers if Jim does go?

Jim Duffy is available, however, is this practicable or would he come here? Whoever it is, we need someone who has no favourites, doesn't sign every midfielder who becomes available and signs more recognised defenders.

A midfielder that doesn't refuse to play on all-weather surfaces!

Regarding signings I understand Aaron Norris is still under contract. Heard off the top of my head that (not confirmed) Fraser Hobday and Jason Brown have resigned but Greg Fleming has refused so far.

Regarding a manager, Ray McKinnon was touting himself in the press recently. Not specifically for us, just wanting back in the game. Might be an option.

[peternapper 482]

Would think Jims future will be on the agenda tomorrow as there is normally a board meeting Tuesdays. As there has been no official statement yet will await that before commenting. Would think the two outcomes will make a big difference to the next step after regarding players wanting to stay or not.

[D'Jaffo 4,620]

Out of interest how was Fleming for you last year?

Someone on the Ayr page said he might be re-signing for us but just wondering if he did well for you guys this season?

[NewBlue 173]

Yeah he was really good for us. No major errors that I can think of off the top of my head. A big improvement on what we have had before so would be a loss if he goes.

Here we go again:

Why the hell is it his decision?

[Blue-Toon 137]

I see Russell McLean has been offered a new deal. Hopefully he stays for another season.

Yeah I hope he stays too. I have really had to change my tune about him but he has come good 

Who is offering the deals though is Jim hasn't made a decision yet?

[peternapper 482]

Would say would like to see Jims position decided one way or the other asap.  Think most would agree we have a good few players that would be good to get signed up which with things being left unsettled some could move on.

[Jason King 1,427]

EE has exclusive that Jim will remain as manager.

Unlucky Peterhead fans, unlucky.

 

The Blue Toon boss offered to resign following his side’s failure to gain promotion to League One. The Buchan outfit were defeated 2-1 on aggregate by Stenhousemuir last Saturday in the play-off final having been pipped to the League Two title by Montrose by a single point.

McInally, who is Scotland’s longest-serving manager having joined the Balmoor club in October 2011, offered to leave after missing out on promotion. But chairman Rodger Morrison and the club’s directors have persuaded him to remain in charge for next season.

McInally said: “I offered to resign and the directors thought that I should stay on and I did what I thought was the right thing to do. But they thought otherwise – the bottom line is that I love my job."

Doubly unlucky Blue Tooners.

I'm done with it. I am off to uni in August anyway so wasn't sure I could afford the football this season, but this just makes my mind up.

[The Minertaur 2,613]

Ouch  With a competent manager you guys would have strolled the league last season.  Really strange decision by the board

[Neilly 1,221]

Hilarious. Give him another wad to throw at more failure.

Genuinely howling at this.

[Francesc Fabregas 2,832]

Sensational.

[Muzza81 1,340]

Sounds like a really unhealthy boardroom dynamic at Peterhead. JM is all pally with everyone so he pretty much does whatever he wants without being accountable to anyone.
