Other names I’d have offered the job to before M&M include (in no particular order) Darren Young, Danny Lennon, James McDonaugh, Jim McIntyre, Ian Murray, Owen Coyle, Joe McLaughlin...that’s just off the top of my head.

Reggie Perrin Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 This time last season I was pretty confident that we would avoid the drop.Right now I am not at all confident that we will go up.As for the MSG/BOD they have either been spectacularly unlucky with their decisions over the past ten years or alternatively they are a no use shower of incompetents.Can’t decide... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOICE. Wouldn’t call any of them journeymen, other than possibly Coyle who’s still managed at a far higher level than we’re currently at. The only managers in League 1 doing “absolutely bang average” are our own. But hey, if draws with East Fife, Stranraer, Airdrie, Arbroath and last minute winners at Montrose is your thing, don’t let me rain on your parade. Thanks for your valuable contribution, “NOICE”. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 5 hours ago, HopeStreetWalker said: But when you do get good stewardship of a club you get the dividend. St Johnstone is a good example 2 -3 months ago there were moves by some to get rid of Wright. Correctly they had faith in him and got the backing as he sorted out the issues. That club are a good comparison and in many ways to Falkirk and an example that the club should learn from. 100% correct, what did it take? Last at the bottom in 1986, purchase by a local businessman with money, a plan and a willingness to take the time to do it right. It took a move to a purpose built facility (check), after selling their previous pitch to a supermarket (check), that they own (whoops), and a lot of careful development, but the payoff has been excellent. St. Johnstone also develop local talent, something Falkirk did well till the Academy was closed, and that Raith seem to have finally got a bead on, with results we are seeing. The ugly reality of the BoD certainly seems to be that there is no master plan to rebuild Falkirk F.C., just a stumble from crisis to crisis. Good coaches and rent-a-players can only do so much to paper over the huge cracks in the foundation, something that many posters here see only too clearly. The real question is, who is Falkirk’s possible savior? After the MC fiasco, it seems that the club has become an unattractive target, unless there is a wealthy fan out there. The BoD are too comfortable with the status quo, and unfortunately it seems likely that nothing the fans do will make them uncomfortable without risking crippling the club. If I had to guess, a buyout is the only way out of a slow spiral down the leagues, but the blind and deaf idiots at the top don’t care yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a ploy to take the heat of them ! They can sack the board or let’s call them the latest crew at any time! Nothing’s changed! So the MSG sacked Lang, Campbell, Thomson and McKinnon? Sound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Fitzgerald Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Did an update previously where a lot of pages had been added to the thread.It was about the academy being closed and how bad that was.The latest update for those not wanting to trawl through the pages: Some people go to games, and some people don’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic_17_uk Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Why not do that every home game then, but without 3,500 paying to get into the Stadium? I’d be up for attending all home matches and repeating what happened on the last day of last season. I’d like to think they’d soon get the message and fu*k off!^ Organiser volunteer found.Kudos! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were forced to reluctantly sack Campbell in the face of massive pressure. MR even came out with a withering sobbing tribute to him upon his sacking. The others were the same - sacked to save face. They deserve zero credit. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made the decision to employ these puppets and then sack/shuffle some sideways 6 months - a year too late (some also shouldn't have been employed) Time will tell if Dean's is another puppet to take away the flak from them again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get behind the team whatever, I like many on here have hated the past few seasons, let’s try for now to give our team unified support I was responding to a post specifically suggesting the MSG deserve credit for sacking those named goons. Not deliberately dragging up the past , can't you see that? BTW - "Get behind the team whatever". The MSG must love you , just what they want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was responding to someone who said there'd been no change. There obviously has which is down to massive pressure like you say and has nothing to do with the handful of stay aways. No one is giving the MSG credit - just pointing out the changes like you have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
