He's enjoyed successes too mind, seems to be one who is properly up and down. ETA: maybe not sacked by QotS actually. Virtually everyone on the "list" has failed and been sacked by their previous clubs, hence the reason they're currently out of work or working at a lower level, however there's many on that list who have also had lots of success at various different clubs and stages of their career, so it's really all about a snapshot in time with Managers which reflects whether their stock is high or low. I suppose it will be down to whoever does well in their interview and whether or not Smith has anyone he can rely on for "feedback" on any of the candidates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll come in and inspire your current players and organise them better which will be enough to get you safe. The problem comes when he needs to put his own team together. He really is one of the worst operators I've seen in a transfer window. The first summer in charge he oversaw the entire squad leaving after low-balling them on new deals, then he fucked about doing nothing for weeks before finally attending an exit trial match about a week before the Betfred Cup started, where he signed 5 or 6 bodies. None of them good enough. He scrambled his way through that season with the late signing of Joe McKee, who was quite frankly ridiculous with his assists, and the loan of Regan Tumilty, but we were being tipped by many for a Brechin-esque season. Last summer we all hoped he'd learned his lesson but we seem to have dropped in quality yet again. He really does seem lazy when it comes to this stuff, it just takes far too long for signings to happen. I think most Sons fans are at the stage of thanking him for steadying the ship and moving on in the summer. Players love him, there's no doubt he's a good guy and will squeeze every last bit of effort out your players but there seems to be an enthusiasm for the job missing with Duffy. That may well change if he was back in full time football mind you. I reckon he'd keep Ayr in this division for as long as they wanted to be but I wouldn't have faith in him taking you upwards. Most of our fanbase don't even know what upwards looks like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be against that but I’m sure @Robbo63 said yesterday it wouldn’t be happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
