100% agree. If this 'new dawn' still has McFarlane, Colborn, Wright, Bateman, Holt and Andy Thomson involved it can get to f**k.

Hugely disappointing Holt's name wasn't mentioned. absolutely no reason why this wasn't a double firing. f**k off.

Yep, probably the right thing to do. Gives the new board an easy feelgood start as well when their first order of business is emptying McFarlane, Holt and Sheerin.

Seething that it's still not confirmed.

He's certainly playing it with a straight bat.. talking gibberish about addressing things on Monday. Knowing of course that he won't be there .

I'm absolutely fine with Rice. He's an actual manager . We're an utter shambles of a club. We need to be realistic about who will come in the short term I think Rice would be decent.

Hilarious Cones pish in the Falkirk Herald. Holy f**k min. we had a ten minute spell after we went two up top, https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.falkirkherald.co.uk/sport/football/paul-sheerin-ill-take-full-responsibility-no-matter-the-outcome-3482647%3famp

We'll invite applications, get some interesting ones, then try and tap up a manager who didn't apply or approach Neil McCann again to be rebuffed publicly.

This isn't true, as another poster said. There's no way for example that Ruth or Seb Ross were Holt signings. As well as being a diabolical bad coach and manager Sheerin's eye for a player is rancid.

I'm in this camp too. Holt's a catastrophe but that's him, not the role necessarily. Ambivalent about whether we keep it, as long as it isn't Holt.

Emm where the f**k is the announcement?

'Thought the first goal was crucial....'

Spot on. We have a manager who was begging to be sacked for several weeks. Bizarre interviews, admissions that he wasnt up to the job. Did someone not claim the board clowns genuinely thought we were still going to win the league even at the Q&A point??

Yeah, not having that this squad can get in the playoffs. We need 5 or 6 in.. depends if it's worth trying that in Jan or waiting til summer.

Fans are partly responsible there. There were still people backing him even during the week. I bet there's still plenty not wanting him sacked tonight. Our fans are largely clueless morons.

I wouldn't rule out a real manager taking this squad with some January changes to the playoffs.

But it's not usually a full board activity. One or at most 2 members will lead the recruitment I'd have said

f**k off.. go directly to f**k off.. keep fucking off...

Needs some Ainsley Harriot imo

Happy to admit I didn't have a problem with Holt coming in. Sheerin however I sussed from Day One was a stinking appointment.

Guess the immediate question is with Holt and Sheerin gone who leads the recruitment process to select the new manager? Never been a more critical time to get that right.

It's still worth incidentally trying to pay off this entire squad in January and bringing in a new one. This league is so bad the playoffs are still possible with a real manager and a new squad.

Hope there was no booing.

Yep.. it isn't about today. I genuinely believe that. It's about 16th October.. when we were bodied by Airdrie. That's the point when Sheerin should have been sacked. Every fixture after that point has been a complete and utter waste of an opportunity.

Whilst the scoreline is of course shameful, is anyone really that surprised? I thought it would be 3 or 4.
