Depends if thrashing pub teams every game is seen as success. Bottled it in last season’s league race too . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted December 24, 2022 Author Share Posted December 24, 2022 Check out the BU Facebook page for a mid season interview from Max. The message is clear.....accepts we are underperforming, that not all the signings will be a success but he is building a team for the future. In Max we trust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boheesian Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Yes, I have a moan about team selection and players that don’t look good enough but what I remember is that Max approached the Club - when ‘Kegs’ resigned - wanting to become the Manager. We had an ageing side needing to be rebuilt - as he says - not the easiest of tasks but some on here “only sing when we’re winning” then when we’re not f**k off. Merry Christmas to all posters especially Statler & Waldorf ie Number 7 & Seenitall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merry Christmas to all posters especially Statler & Waldorf ie Number 7 & Seenitall Explain yourself re your rude comment there . We are all entitled to our opinions and mine are very much in keeping with the general support , most of whom never post on here . Certainly looks on Twitter that Max he thought he had to try to regain some confidence . He talks of players not being good enough and shipped on , sometimes it’s the manager that’s not good enough . Anyway , attendances will give the real reflection to how things are going . Merry Xmas to all , even those who choose to use rudeness at this time of year ..

Well I never see many positives from you. Here’s a few McCormack, Locke - when not injured, McAulay, Jones, Johnston, Digaba - some rough edges to be rubbed off - potentially a good keeper. We’re not a wealthy club so heavy investment ain’t going to happen and apart from the OF and excluding UoS & CSS the rest have had money thrown at them. So get rid of the Manager and IMO we will still be in the same postion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bu bri Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 When we got up to the lowland league it seemed like a great chance for us to challenge for the football league before Linlithgow and all the big west ex Junior teams appear. We haven’t taken that chance and out of all the teams that have been promoted up we have faired the worst. Don’t think we should be happy with our lot so far. So far compared to what I thought we could be we’ve been more ä sleeping giant. Crowds are going down and apathy is rife. Things need to start improving and soon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the most pressing issue for the committee of Bo'ness United is the declining attendance figures at Newtown Park. That will be the main catalyst for a change of manager.

Do we want the wee Rose to fly past us next season if they come up ? If is correct. I know its all about progression. But is it worth it. We are 100 times better than we have been in a long long time. Crowd numbers are rising for league games and not just the Scottish ( lots of bu faces aswell) Lowland league looks less appealing when not in it and looking at boness crowds. Might just be that folk have the choice of a home game every week and not having to travel -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max seems to dismantle as much as he builds though. Signed an excellent centre back last year only for differences with Max leading to him vanishing. If rumours to be believed the same thing has happened again with Todd. As for giving him time, there’s only so much rebuilding and “getting it right” that can be achieved with our limited budget. As things stand, it seems the harsh reality creeping in is that where we’re at now is possibly a case of us having found our level already, hence falling attendances and the knock on affect this has on our budget. Other clubs seem to be able to attract generous sponsors or investors that help them progress, whilst two or three others clubs have a sugar daddy bankrolling the whole thing (always wondered, is FFP is even a thing in the lower leagues ), but this seems to be something BU consistently struggle with.
