Cowdenleith Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I’m not going to slag off Maurice completely now he’s gone, he’s done plenty of things wrong, but how difficult a situation has he had to deal with? Only the people at the club will ever know the full story, but I wish Maurice all the best. It was extremely unlikely he would be back next season, so to go now is a good compromise to give the club time to make plans for next season, with some games still to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PELE Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I didn't agree with some of his tactics and his managerial style at times, but I liked him. He tried his best, but it just wasn't working. Good luck to him. Maybe if we had a decent striker things would have been different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailorcowden Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) Really surprised by that. I was thinking Maurice would have left but seen it out until the end of the season. He talked the right way and seemed to have a good idea of how we should play but it rarely translated on the pitch. Anytime we took a step forward it seemed to always be followed by a poor spell. Maybe a better coach than a main man? That been said I think the management team did well to steady the ship after a tumultuous pre season and should be commended for it but now is the time to get a manager in that knows the lowland league and can build on what's been set down now. Wish Maurice nothing but the best moving on and hopefully he takes something from his time here too. Really important appointment to be made now but perfect time to cool the jets and really think about it.

MrIrvinePollock Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I assume he has something else lined up and told the Chairman he wouldn't be at the club next season. Scary, but interesting times ahead. The right appointment could see Cowdenbeath rise like phoenix....the wrong appointment could be the final nail in the coffin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdenbeath0-3 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I respect Maurice for stepping down and not seeing out till end of season. He has obviously made the decision that he won’t be signing a new deal which was expected he would have had a smaller budget to work with next season and also had to take a pay cut himself. This now gives us time to bring in the right man and give him a few games and training sessions before the seasons ends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side maybe the club decided a change was needed. Either way at least now we have plenty of time to get the new man in and in turn time for him to prepare for next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge decision as to who the next guy is. Davo wanting a manager's job? It's been said that he is managerial material. But at Cowden l'm not sure. Certainly not the hot head he was in his younger days. Hope he can play a bit longer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronaldincoo Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 It is nice to see that the situation has resolved itself in such a dignified fashion. Although I have expressed reservations about his man management style - he seemed to let his frustration get the better of him quite often - Maurice has always tried to do his best for the club and I wish him well for the future. The timing is good too. Too often we have appointed a new man who has had little time to shape the playing staff for an upcoming season. This way, we can get the right man in with plenty of time to get acquainted with the club and playing staff to enable a push up the table next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronaldincoo Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) I see Big Joe is a coach at CS Strollers. Just saying.... Correction: Assistant manager. Edited March 24, 2023 by ronaldincoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bollan Ball Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 We discussed the club's parting of the ways with manager Maurice Ross, and what next for Maurice Miners. Listen here and vote for our new name! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No time for a rookie need someone with a bit of experience who knows the Lowland League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're still a bigger club than CSS...just. CSS players don't get a weekly wage so he'd have a bit of budget to play with at Cowden. I assume Jardine wants to test himself at a higher level and I think CSS' ceiling is the Lowland League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
