He wasn't sacked at Alloa though was he? There must be a glimmer of hope here somewhere I think that just says that the Alloa board made poor decisions, which is backed up by them appointing both Peter Grant and Barry Ferguson in recent years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't sacked at Alloa though was he? There must be a glimmer of hope here somewhere He wasn't sacked there, no. His contract was not renewed. Was never made clear if this was his choice, Alloa's choice, or both. Before Crawford resigned no club approached him, as far as anyone knows. Bear in mind it was publicly announced in April that he wasn't staying on at Alloa. Only when Crawford resigned did one utter mug club approach him, that being us. The majority of our fans were bemused, horrified and/or disgusted, and season ticket sales suffered for it. He will go down as our worst manager ever and one of the worst appointments in Scottish football history. However, League 2 may be his level and he could be fine there. f**k knows, but any club taking a gamble on his would be very ill advised to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 He wasn't awful with us. Played some decent football. The main problem was that our solid defence fell apart, with Andy Graham and Neil Parry either injured or having a bit of a shiter all round, and he never really managed to shore it up. Seemed like we went behind early in every game and were left chasing it. Opinion was a little divided on whether or not he should get a crack at League One, but I don't think anyone was terribly upset that he was leaving, although nobody was angry about his performance either. Before the original lockdown, he had us performing really well, so he was a bit unfortunate there. If the choice was another year of Peter Grant or the Barry Ferguson era, I reckon most of us would rather we'd stuck rather than twisting (now, at least). It was still an absolute shocker that he got the Dunfermline job, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be fucking hounding your board for appointing the two morons Grant and Yogi, proper heads should roll stuff.

Quote my posts. Also this still doesn't change that fans don't appoint managers. Furthermore, even if they did, then you arguing with fans that it was not a good appointment would have been too late anyway. Be prompt with your warning next time. In fact I'd like you to run through the list of potential candidates and rate them all please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
