Michael Miller released by Raith. 25 and plenty decent in League One, but perhaps a bit injury prone. Also, if JMcG didn’t see keeping him for the Championship, you wouldn’t be signing him for over a year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This says to me that the two of them need help to be managers. They were appointed in November. Why are we scrambling around in July trying to get this done? -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Like a team in the Scottish Third Division need a 'Director of Football'? [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Surely if they need any help they could pick Totten's brains for advice. I don't get this director of football thing, Alex Smith was here long enough but apart from offering a few pearls of wisdom and reminiscing of days gone by like his cup final win at St. Mirren what did he actually do? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirkzombie Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) The current board desperately need somebody with football experience IMO, we have KK, LM and 2 guys who have only recently been brought into the boardroom with no previous football experience. someone like JJ would have been an excellent appointment if you ask me, shame it never happened.

Hughsie Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 While the idea of JJ is probably a good one, surely it’s something Alex Totten could be asked to do? I don’t think it would be a full-time role if it’s just to advise the board in football matters when required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Personally I see this news as positive, if true, as we are still actively looking for someone. Bring back John Hughes as the Godfather, IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also lacks certain skills required for that role plus he still has a grudge against the Falkirk BOD. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will need to sell us as a stepping stone for players. I can just imagine it - "Listen son , sign for us and you could earn a life changing move to Kelty Hearts or Dunfermline". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Don't get me started on Old Man Smith. We did comparatively well relative to budget when he was there when we've had a decent manager like Holt or Houston. We did poorly relative to budget when he was there when we had a dumpling like May or Pressley. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I doubt Houston would want to come back given the way things went at the end and let's not forget his recruitment was in the main poor. Jefferies at least could spot a player so he would have been ideal in that sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put in a hell of a lot of time down there and was great with the players coming through. I raised the need for more football knowledge on the bod at the first mckinnon meet the manager meeting. I was told by the then chairman that plans were in place to create a football board . I then raised it again at the egm nearly a year later and was told again by the new acting chairman that it was something that still needed looked at but nothing had been done. Perhaps we're finally getting round to doing something about it 2 years after it was first raised. Its something we badly need as the current mob are clueless highlighted by the mess of the past 3 seasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side got progressively worse the longer he was in the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
