LongTimeLurker Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Don't think they would have to be at Newtown Park in a U-20 context. Requirements are not the same as for EoS and LL level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take away the Sundays in the 2 months that’ll be 15 games in 53 days no surprise we are struggling. i think we all know Max has a serious rebuild for next season. Did we not play 4 games a week at this time of season in the juniors ? How many excuses are we going to use for this season . We’ve had transition season , small squad , injuries , suspensions , 4G , referee , to name a few and now 15 games in 53 days . We’ve had our manager starting off with a small squad if you don’t count the Camelon guys . Signing players from teams below you in league when moving up hasn’t worked . Ten players offloaded within the first 2 months of season , 7 or 8 loan guys to try to make it up , falling out with players , allowing suspended players to sit on bench only to receive further red cards . Losing to a club that haven’t won otherwise in going on now for 3 years . Ruling over the worst home season I can remember . What does it take to be sacked at BU ? No other manager has got away with so much . I’m sure there would be plenty interested . Anyway , the view outside of Pie and Bovril re management is a bit different hence the fall off in gates . If BU are looking here for the general views of fans then they may be well mistaken . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leomessi1984 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Surprised that Max still seems to have a lot of backing. Clearly a lot of injuries but with squad quality available I'd have thought the BU would have been much better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the whole I guess he's done a good job, won a trophy or two, got promoted during covid season. Seems a divisive character though as saw by his time at Bonnyrigg, Tranent and even Broxburn. Led to believe he puts money into the club so that will buy him a lot of support. Plenty of time for him to rebuild as it takes a miracle to get relegated from the Lowland League. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) Did they not used to claim the same thing about Allan McGonigal on here? Seems a bit farfetched. Edited April 13, 2022 by LongTimeLurker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok. So what exactly was the proposal you “heard”? And be very specific so there’s no whataboutery or rumour.
