A club being interested in signing one of your players doesn't mean their (ex-)manager is interested in joining you. Jordan Jones left us for Rangers in the summer but that doesn't mean Steven Gerrard will be interested in the Killie job any time soon. Well aside from the fact that he'd have to enter your midden more than any sane person deserves, he's clearly not going to go to a team in the same league. I'm trying, poorly, to compare League 1 in England with the Scottish Championship, perhaps not in terms of the prize money or size of stadiums for the likes of Ipswich or Sunderland, but in terms of the latent talent of the players he'd be working with each day on the training field and he'd get more time to do his job as well. The gulf isn't as big as you'd immediately think. If Jim McIntyre gets the job we're as well planning for trips to Methil and Airdrie sooner rather than later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you’re saying that the gulf between L1 and the Scottish Championship isn’t that big and that for this reason Jack Ross would consider a move to Ayr? First off, the gulf is pretty big. But that’s entirely irrelevant when you consider that Sunderland are a massive club compared to Ayr. The only two clubs he’d even consider in this league would be the Dundee clubs and that’s because they should be in the Premiership and can provide him with the resources to get there. I don’t disagree with your point on McIntyre though. Albeit we’ll be in League One within the next 5 years anyway unless someone buys us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 My worry isn’t even Jim McIntyre tbf. It’s more that he’d bring that idiot Billy Dodds with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AYRSHIRE_ANGUS Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 If Martin Canning can finally manage us to a victory over ICT resulting in a flustered John Robertson having a post match hissy fit saying he's never liked Ayr anyway then thats ma man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Thing is, after the way in which McCall was appointed we can't really be discounting anybody. Their stock at present isn't as low as McCall's was then, although I do think the chances of lucking out like that again are very low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdhafc1874 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Kept you absolute no marks in the top flight season after season so can’t be that bad. We scraped staying up in spite of Canning for most of the time he was in charge due to other clubs being absolute basket cases on the field those seasons. Had we not sacked him in January we'd be playing yourselves this season - so good luck if Canning gets the job [emoji23] As for us being 'no marks' we've been in the top flight for 9 of the last 12 seasons.When were Ayr last in the top flight? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Pft, Ayr beat Hamilton to the second division title in 96/97 settling forever two questions: 1. Who is the least diddy team; and 2. Horace or Quitongo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a bit harsh go them into a final and the play off final.yes lost both by fine margins . wait and see if the next manager can do any better . didn't give him enough time down there sad . but he will get a top flight job up here to probs first manager to go he will get it 16 hours ago, Iain said: They've lost fewer games since he was appointed than any team in the English leagues except Man City & Liverpool. It's crazy they moved on at this stage. 0% chance Ayr can pay what he'd want. It really isn't harsh or crazy at all. Look at the squad he has - Aiden McGeady, Will Grigg, Grant Leadbitter etc, as well as a massive budget for that division. As for the fact they have lost fewer games than everyone bar Man City and Liverpool, that is an incredibly deceptive statistic as about 28 of those games were draws. He hasn't earned more time at Sunderland, nor has he earned a Premiership job up here as some are suggesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When were Ayr last in the top flight? Ayr’s last top flight game was on April 29th 1978. 15138 days have passed since then. Lady Di was still single and Thatcher had not yet hatched as prime minister. The teleprinter was still typing out results on black and white TV’s. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
