The Cum Doctor Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Dunfermline getting a good bit of business done early doors. That's always a good sign for a team pushing for promotion. Â Stephen Aitken did a good job at Stranraer last season. Would be nice to see him do well again. Not at Morton's expense of course. Ayr seem to be doing pretty badly very early doors though. Key players out. Â Dunfermline are also linked with Archie Campbell who would be a massive loss for Morton at this level. Bags of pace and should score goals for fun.

TAFKAC Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Agreed. Mark Roberts is going to have pull something out of the hat in terms of strikers, if nothing else. Malcolm - gone; Moffat - gone; Kyle - gone. John Gemmell who would have scored some goals has gone back to Albion Rovers. Sean Higgins is one name but you wonder where they are going to get not just one but a couple of decent strikers. I could be completely wrong but it seems that way just now. Â Morton are going to have to rebuild as well. Big changes there and a managerial appointment that is 'solid' rather than inspiring. Duffy knows this neck of the woods though, so who knows? Â One of the big things for Stranraer could be guys in midfield. Chris Aitken ended the season injured and is apparently going to have to prove his fitness, which does not sound reassuring. Andy Stirling is yet to sign but hopefully if Stephen Stirling can get a full pre-season under his belt he can get back to where he was. Similarly, if Grehan and Docherty re-sign that would be a massive boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daaaaaad! Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 He really seems like a bad appointment. No better than Lennon, IMO. Of course he'll win the league but why go for him when there's so many proven better managers out there without compensation to pay out? Malky Mackay, David Moyes, Michael Laudrup... the list goes on. Why go for Keane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cum Doctor Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I dunno if he'd be better or worse than Lennon, due to how unproven Lennon is. If Keane at least adds more domestic trophies to his arsenal, he'll have done better. In truth, he won't have to do much to do a better job until Rangers return.

DCW Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Moyes and Laudrup surely wouldn't be interested in Celtic though would they?and I'd hazard a guess that the club don't think Mackay is a big enough name to create a bit of interest.Personally don't think Keane is the right man for the job as he is just far too unpredictable personality wise,and he won't have money to splash about like he seems to like doing.

The Cum Doctor Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Who cares if he's a big enough name? Enough time passes and he does the business, the Celtic fans won't care either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members stumobir Posted June 6, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted June 6, 2014 Welcome to Celtic, Ronny Deila. Â Bit of a surprise appointment and I don't think there will be many supporters that have ever heard of him. Seems the Celtic board are playing it cautiously as he's on a 12 month rolling contract, not that he won't at least win the league. Despite never having heard of him before I'm still pretty happy with the decision, other than Malky Mackay I didn't want to see any of the other names that were floating about get the job.

David Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Never mind celtic, has anyone else noticed how efficiently Motherwell have went about their business this summer? Aside from Lionel Ainsworth we've got our business pretty much done & dusted already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted June 6, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted June 6, 2014 Delia will probably be gone at the end of next season, even if he does well. Larsson will be available then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MungoChutney Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 People constantly go on about supposed corruption at the SFA and SPFL but yesterday there was the clearest case of corruption, underhanded dealing and unconstitutional conduct I've ever heard of at the Scottish Amateur FA AGM in Motherwell. Following on from it amateur football in this country is now fucked and, without a major overhaul, is looking at a very bleak future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MungoChutney Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Basically two progressive, forward thinking guys removed from post and another guy, whose proposals will kill the amateur game, walking in to a post without a vote for these positions being held. From the reports of people who were there it seems that this pre-planned and despite being entirely out of line with the constitution it was allowed to stand.
