GG Riva 502 Report post Posted May 25 I've shamelessly lifted this striking example of innovative, out of the box thinking, so that the erudite pundits on this forum can evaluate its merits........ "This might be a crazy suggestion but why not try to get the fans onboard and get their input. Why not have a final shortlist of 3 potential managers and allow the fans to vote for our preference? Raith advertised the job vacancy and invited applications. Do we think we are too big a club to go with that approach? For me advertise the job and give the fans the choice. Why not be a little bit different from the norm that way we have no one to blame if it doesn’t work out. Hopefully more season ticket sales meaning more of a budget for better players."

Keyser Soze 875 Report post Posted May 25 I’d genuinely rather let a family of mice chose the next manager than trust the vast majority of our support tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1950Par 173 Report post Posted May 25 As long as each fan who votes says who he/she voted for Then when it doesn't work out we will have someone to blame 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Roy Barry Fan Club 490 Report post Posted May 25 And there is this rather dull thing called money.... Some of our 'fans' would likely heap abuse on an entire short list of people we can afford. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A good proportion of our support shouldn't be allowed to make decisions for themselves without a carer present. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GG Riva 502 Report post Posted May 25 Initially, I was sure the post was a wind up, but then I realised the poster was putting forward a serious suggestion - one which would help to shift more season tickets, apparently. Hmmm 🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Digs 1,122 Report post Posted May 25 The fact this was put forward as a serious suggestion is demonstration in itself of what an absolutely idiotic idea it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
