Chis Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Sorry to hear Robert leaving. He has been a tremendous servant to the Club over many years and I wish him all the best for the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kp91 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Wonder if it's just the club looking to go in a new direction with a new manager and Fresh ideas or another reason why rab has left as hes been there a long time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Maybe looking to freshen things up, due to longevity. Both Rab and Eric have their own businesses and 17 years devotion takes a lot out of you. I'm only surmising. Facebook links only confirm more what I've said and they have said they are open to applications. Rab and Eric will still help committee in the background, so not leaving club completely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kp91 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Sounds about right and 17 years between them at the one club can only be applauded that takes devotion and alot of personal time so fair play to them, not sure what there squad was like as they pulled out of the league this season for obvious reasons so be interesting to see if they have a squad or not currently 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 As far as I'm aware squad wise, they will be almost starting from scratch, so it's a good opportunity for someone. Due to covid they decided not to take part in this season, so players left to go elsewhere or stopped playing. It's a good hard working committee, so whoever comes in will receive good backing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be difficult brining in a full new squad under the current circumstances I would think so the committee would need to be prepared to give the new manager time to rebuild as that wont be easy as I mean where can you get a full squad of players from at the minute? So they would need to work a miracle to be able to get a full squad that could compete straight away 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With covid easing with vaccination program, by summer things will be much better I don't think we will struggle for players or new team management, and the draw of WOFSL will help too. At least new management team has plenty time to identify targets and secure them before new season starts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Ted Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I've supported them for 38 years. We are in Conference B, I think from memory but would need to double check it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kp91 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I'm sure you'll get a team together and at least be competitive but I would think itll take time to rebuild so fans need to be patient as rebuilding takes time and patience 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although sometimes it does take time as you say, we will just have to wait and see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see Duncan Sinclair, "Big Sinky" back at Gow but that's just a personal opinion but anyone that can take us forward will do for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
