Just to say well done in John brogan getting the Albion rovers job..hopefully the wee rovers who is my local team get back up league next season

Ooft. Thought Swift was a shoe in after leaving bsc. Brogan hasn’t really set the heather on fire in the juniors recently

Doubt there will be any problem with money at Albion Rovers.

His highest paid player at Lanark was Allan McCrum in his first season on £40 everyone else was on £20 or less. Lanark didn’t and don’t have any money . I think he inherited a very poor team at Lanark and I would agree they didn’t do much better there but with no money it is very difficult to entice players to Lanark as managers have also found it hard. I am sure he will give it his best shot and I wish him all the best.

Considering their annual income will dwarf that of almost any Junior team (£70,000 from SPFL alone plus their cup revenue and that's without considering gate receipts and sponsorship), we can lose track of how impoverished our own level is.

I think we both know that Lanark don’t have the money they had when these guys were there now. It is no coincidence that every manager since - Brian Johnstone, John brogan and Paul burns have all struggled to bring success and I fear Colin Slater may head the same way (I hope not)

Good man good manager grumpy auld bugger will do well at the rovers

Good luck to Broagy

Remember the bad winter about 2010??? the media reports were the likes of Albion Rovers got an emergency payment of £13,000.

Is that even National minimum wage for the hours the players are working or are they all amatuers?

I'd imagine, like most clubs, it is expenses paid to players rather than a wage? May be wrong
