Well if the worst comes to worst and the administrators come calling we can always ask yourselves for advice on how to get the creditors to take 0p in the pound as a settlement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie Perrin Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Craigen hippo longridge taiwo Miller aird all doing well enough and in most cases better than their replacements.This is true but the plan was to replace them with better and mount a genuine push for promotion.Some may argue that the plan has fallen slightly short of expectations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taiwo isnt getting a regular game at hamilton, aird is part of a united side that just punted their manager and miller is injured. Just because their replacements lack any football ability what so ever doesnt mean the decision to empty most of them was wrong. Any decent manager wouldve signed better replacements. Just a shame we had hartley in charge. Edited October 11, 2018 by Shodwall cat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartley was 41 points in 28 games at 1.46 pts a game so I think we can safely say he did. I'm struggling to understand why you have condensed Houston's record to just 7 games - is it just to make your point look better? How do the stats look for both managers during their respective times at FFC? How do they look over their managerial careers , I'm sure Houston has won the Scottish Cup at least once. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Can we just accept the following: Houston done a good job for the time he was in however towards the end of his tenure things were going a bit stale and the replacements in quality for Vaulks, Leahy etc were sub standard/not good enough. Hartley understandably felt there was something going on when taking over from Houstie and had a clear out what was brought in were good enough to keep us in the league and pull clear of Dumbarton, unfortunately between Hartleys man management skills being sh*t and our English based Scout (Mitch) the 2 of them made a horses arse of player recruitment. McKinnons recruitment at Morton seemed to have them clicking prior to him leaving and provided he is backed by the board then i reckon he will do alright for starters at least he will have seen the players he recruited unlike Hartley. Long story short we cant do any worse and the only way is up providing the rest of the team get their collective fingers out their arses. Oh and we recruited a team that look like football players but are clearly not. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you clueless. Why would i bother including houstons record pre that season when im simply highlighting the fact that hartley improved the situation that season after houston left. No one would argue that houston was a far better manager than hartley. Can you no look into the context of the post before spouting your pish please. Fecks sake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
