roman_bairn Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Surely before setting up a reconstruction group you would canvas top flight teams to ensure there is a backing for it. What the hell was the point of the whole thing otherwise.Ehm, because it was promised if teams voted to end the season early in the lower divisions.Big boys doing the usual shafting of the rest..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Excellent stuff. Should be a strong league next season. And ourselves obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLClyde Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 If reconstruction is going to happen, there needs to be notice so we all know what we are playing for and what is going to happen at a certain time, not rushed through to save 1 club. Delighted it’s been rejected. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as if they've said no we dont want that particular proposal its we dont want any proposal. What a complete fecking shambles.

haufdaft Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Aberdeen chairman saying reconstruction shouldn't happen during this crisis.My question is why was it being discussed at all if it wasn't in relation to the Coronavirus crisis?I sense some teams might feel betrayed after toeing the SPFL party line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A man who’s idea of success for his club is finishing 3rd and getting to the occasional final and losing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still annoys me that we had the chance to put that horrible club down years ago and we didn't turn up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just with fewer options in the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be tough with Partick, East Fife and Airdrie there and Cove may invest heavily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 A, better managerial appointment in November would have probably helped also. I’ll disagree with you on that. Possibly lacked a bit of experience but for the first time in a couple of years it felt like stability was evolving. I still believe we would have overhauled you but we will never get to know for sure sadly.I’d be happy to have them in charge this coming season having had a bit of time to gain more experience and understand where the issues are in the team.The last thing the club needs is someone coming in and starting again from scratch.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Maybe the obvious number of players who will be out of contract this summer will benefit most clubs- players will have to take what's offered or be unemployed. Some clubs will possibly throw money somehow, best of luck ! Hopefully we'll lose no clubs from any league's despite the financial problems, and the reconstruction (when it happens) can be done properly ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have probably agreed with you at the turn of the year, but I felt Falkirk played for a draw in the game just before the shutdown and I felt pretty confident we would go on and win it. Miller and Mcracken made 3 points up on us in the 4 months they were in, and I felt we had a stronger side then than we did when they were appointed. Like you say though, we will never know. I just feel if Falkirk had hit the ground running towards the end of the year they would have gone on to win it, as that is when we were absolutely fucked with injuries.

Combination of promising young players, seasoned pros from a higher level, and a few good League 1 players. No real superstars as such, but I felt the type of players we signed this season raised the work rate and worth ethic of the squad which is where "bigger" teams can often come undone at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf Raith a a ‘bigger’ club at this level. Your average attendance was nearly double the 3rd team and 6 times the bottom team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assembling a squad of decent enough players and hoping for the best. We pissed away far more points than Falkirk to far worse sides in our previous 2 seasons here. We took a different approach this season, and it worked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
