D'Jaffo Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 Utter gibberish.I would absolutely have taken Young, McIntyre or Houston over Kerr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathead Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Whether this is a good managerial appointment or not, it presumably means Kerr will no longer be playing (at least not regularly). We're an Andy Geggan injury away from really struggling in the middle of the park now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEHonestman1910 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I take it Mark Kerr can't play as a player manager. That's us one midfielder down and it's our best one too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some faith in Magic Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 At least you can't say it is a rushed option. Took time to consider and then decided he was the best man for the job. Something I think Dunfermline should have done last year rather than rush in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finlay21 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) If you are a fan you would give the guy a chance , can’t believe some of the comments that have absolutely no fundamental evidence that the guy is not manager material, would hate to work for them if I was trying to progress my career and getting told I have no experience after playing the game professionally for nearly 20 years , the guy is a true professional and had been offered assistant manager twice during his career at Ayr at other clubs , obviously someone saw something in him , I am not saying he was one of my choices but would like to see what he can do Edited October 22, 2019 by Robbo63 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot to moan about when appointing a cheaper already-at-the-club option, but this argument doesn't stick with me. Appointing Jim fucking McIntyre wouldn't have exactly been the far reaching reaching for the stars ambitious appointment that some fans want. Perspective is required, the pool of managers out there just now is not very good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeathrowAUFC Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Goes without saying that he should have everyone’s support & best wishes but to pacify any supporters who might question the appointment, it’d be good PR if Cameron would go on record on why Kerr stood out above all other contenders.It’s a gamble but all the other names mentioned would have come with risks attached too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not angry or disgusted like some fans are saying they are. Just a bit underwhelmed. I don’t think it’s a lack of ambition as none of the names mentioned were especially ambitious. Kerr definitely falls into the unknown quantity category though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah these days he's much better suited to right back, but with Murdoch out injured and 4-5-1 being the preferred formation this season it's been a case of needs must. 2 minutes ago, HMIP said: There should at least be money to sign a player.

Pick that one out Marshall Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I'm a bit surprised but not disappointed. He knows the club and the players and from looking at him on the pitch he is always there to support the players. Yes it's a gamble but I think anybody who took the role would have been a gamble. It's a result driven industry so we need results on the pitch simple as that (nothing changes there). I'm hoping Stewart is staying as part of his coaching team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMIP Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Doesn’t actually say anything about his back room staff, so not clear if Stewart is staying on or a new assistant being found. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
