Yorkie Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Surprised Mellon left United, I watched the Aberdeen v United cup tie and United played some excellent football. I suppose a 9th placed finish was maybe at the low end of their pre-season targets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true then thank **** Ferguson is being very cute, we are a challenge to boost his ego especially next season, with 2 SPL clubs in the league Partick and ICT it's going to be a tough league top prove much. Getting Alloa back to the Championship is probably a far easier challenge especially if he has been promised some money. 3 or 4 seasons in the lower leagues looking good will win him a bigger mover in the long run!

SanguinePar Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Just saw a rumour that Ross County are going to appoint Malky Mackay. Just as long as he stays the hell away from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Soze Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Fortunately, and I mean that in the loosest possible sense because he shouldn’t be employed by any football club, he appears to have earned the Ross County job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really is another ****e appointment by the board. If they weren't pars fans you'd question whether they actually want the club to progress. Just a totally pish, ****e appointment.

Nothing like giving him a chance... and that is nothing like giving him a chance! :-) Although, I'm not very inspired by him either, but we'll see.

Piracy Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Not got me motivated. He must have some sales pitch. He's got an enormous job ahead of him. Anyway I'll give him my support, he may just be a huge success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 If he gets the job I'll still support the team, however I do feel somewhat underwhelmed. 😐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Roy Barry Fan Club Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 Interesting tweet from Alan Temple who would seem to be well connected. From Temple: "Re: Peter Grant to Dunfermline. I can understand negativity but: I'd expect him to be part of a revamped structure which allows a 'head coach' to coach. Which he can clearly do; his teams play nice stuff. With the right staff and better players?" Then consider the position of Thomas Meggle, who is already a director of the Club. A re-vamped structure was mentioned by Alan Temple last week. Mmm a head coach who coaches. Peter Grant's coaching CV extends over 20 years and is is Bournemouth, West Ham, West Brom, Celtic, Birmingham City, Aston Villa, Notts Forrest, Fulham, and Scotland (U 20/U21/full team). His managerial CV is only Norwich and Alloa. Might wait and see how things pan out. Bound to be a club announcement tomorrow: lets see what it says...
