Deanburn Dave Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Herd is a cert. Believe the Rose not inviting applications.You are usually well informed Fuzzy. Certainly would be a surprise for the rose to sack a manager so soon into a new season without having a replacement lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early in the season plenty time to pull it back ,Do you think a good manager would take that job knowing he’s got limited time to turn it around and it’s not his squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyBear Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Linlithgow Rose will still be an attractive job to a lot of decent managers. The Rose still have to play 7 of the current top 10 so would be surprised if Ferguson turned things around. He seemed to be very negative away from home. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against a team that's still bottom of the league we were effectively 4-6-0 for stretches and it unsurprisingly finished 0-0, for their only point so far. That's emblematic of Ferguson's approach.On the basis of the 5 games I've seen this season plus the games online last season I didn't have confidence that he would pull it back. He didn't seem to realise the problem. The advantage of making a change now is that the position is still recoverable; in a few weeks time it probably wouldn't have been.I think potential managers will look at that squad, watch highlights from the Haws and Spartans games and be licking their chops. If they're worried that only taking 10 points from 7 games, 6 of which were eminently winnable, will put their jaiket on the proverbial shoogly peg, then this isn't the club for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would like to place on record a sincere thank you to Brown, Steve & Myles for their dedication and commitment throughout a very challenging period, particularly off the pitch and wish them all the very best for the future. The process to appoint a new manager is underway and we will provide appropriate updates as and when we can as that process progresses. First team coach, Craig Donaldson, has agreed to run the team on a caretaker basis commencing with tomorrow evening’s home fixture against Musselburgh Athletic F.C. I don’t get that quote. If the club is disappointed at getting rid of the management team, why did they sack them in the first place? I do wonder about Linlithgow as a club. A couple of seasons ago, management team were unceremoniously ditch after a hurriedly arranged committee meeting, minutes after they were thrashed 6-2 by Musselburgh Ath. Yet, had they won that match they would/could have been sitting at the top of the league. The time of being ‘World Beaters’ in the East of Scotland (previously Juniors Super League) has well and truly disappeared for Linlithgow, but their committee still think otherwise.

The appointment of BF was one that appeased all. Unfortunately his style of play wasn't great and didn't always bring out our strengths. I do agree with you that we have to many living on past glories. Thankfully we also have enough who realise the challenges ahead. Whoever gets the role has a good nucleus to work with. Something we didn't have in recent times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
