Yet by modern standards, this is crazy …
The first managerial casualty of the campaign is only ever a matter of days away, but sacking season does n't typically start with a game. Unless you're Scots Championship visitors Raith Rovers...
Promoted again to Scotland's second tier last expression via the play-offs, Raith lost their 2024/25 group opening 1-0 apart to Airdrieonians on Saturday. And only two months after that dramatic play-off victory, director Ian Murray was at the final stretch.
Explaining the more unusual timing of their choice, the Raith panel explained that "results and shows since the change of the year]2024] have fallen short of expectations". Also, it does seem a bit tough.
This is n't the first eyebrow-raising move Raith have made, mind you. Again in 2022, the team signed scorer David Goodwillie– who, six years earlier, had been judged as a murderer in a legal situation.
Followers and the Raith women's team both expressed outrage over the filing, some even going so far as to break up with the team. Goodwillie was soon made aware that he would no longer play for Raith, and he was finally let go eight times after joining the president.
Raith, who failed to advance from their party in the Scottish League Cup since joining the team in May 2022, confirmed Murray's departure in a declaration that read" The committee expresses its appreciation to Ian for his efforts since joining the team in May 2022. Results and achievements since the start of the year have not lived up to expectations despite placing second next year. The committee has so decided to terminate the owner's deal".
" The process of appointing a new supervisor has begun. Colin Cameron and John Potter may remain in First Team until a replacement is found.
