Most of our targets especially foreign wise simply weren't interested in joining and we couldn't convince them to join budget wise. And the players that were interested and good enough apparently weren't even approached. This led to us being quite disappointed in the club seeing as the communication to us wasn't that good. Was it the Stubbs regime which didn't approach the interested players, and if so why resign because Stubbs was removed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRM Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 I think he just had a preference for English/Scottish players which just made us wonder why we were even there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambiebud Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 This hope episode stinks. Good luck to Alan Stubbs in the future. We will never know what would have happened given a reasonable amount of time. Seems a trigger happy reaction by the chairman. For his sake and our great club, the next appointment must work. No one comes out of this fiasco with any dignity. If McIntyre gets the job, he inherits the same players, many of whom were signed by his predecessor. He must get the players behind him immediately. As for our vocal fans on here, some should take a long hard look at themselves. Good luck Mr Stubbs and good luck to his successor. Hopefully he will be given some leeway by all.

Are any of the ones who weren't approached - a) free agents; b) experienced centre halfs, left sided midfielders or strikers? If the answer to both of these questions is yes, can you pass their details onto the new manager please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an insight that might manage expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the main problems was (communication wise) that we didn't even bloody know who eventually decided to pursue a player or not. And I wasn't consulted on any of the transfers that actually happened which I was slightly disappointed about at the time but just decided to ignore later on.

Strange as scouting has such an important part to play. Hope you get a chance to feedback to the Club and they listen. Wish you every success Bud. It's a brave move stepping off of any job. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, it was a hard decision to make seeing as I really liked the club and like I previously mentioned I made friendships here and a few of the staff members helped me get through tough times (please don't see this as a sob story) And I'll, of course, mention the things to my contact there. Hope they improve it seeing as this club needs to stay at the highest level. Good luck everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornwall_Saint Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 I presume the players trained today. Did all three (Stubbs, Rice, Jackson) take the session/s or was it Rice alone (or joined by McManus). If Stubbs and Jackson weren't there for training then that would have made it clear to the players it was the end. Then some muppet leaked it out somehow?

Richie P Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Sometimes it's just not a right fit. Even if it could have worked out / turned around. The last 18 months has had everyone pulling in the one direction. if the new manager cannot continue this ethos it could be that after a good interview and seeing him work it was clear that he never had the same personality to continue this togetherness. This could have been in the boards thoughts regardless of results, but the results have accelerated the decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
