Bairney The Dinosaur Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Does anyone find it weird that the post from CC52 FFC about speaking to Gary Deans has disappeared? In fact, CC52 FFC now seems to have deleted their profile. [emoji848] His Da told him off for leaking his meeting with Deans and he's banned from using the internet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a manager is doing well in league 1 or 2 then they’ll jump to the championship at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You look at us you'd think great chance to take a team with a much bigger budget and win this league and then take them on with the potential of top flight football. We're in a trough just now but the potential is there. 4000 fans every other week and top class facilities. You go obviously go to a Morton or queen of the south but then your basically midtable to fighting off relegation as the norm even if your going a good job. If you've got confidence in your own ability then no reason why Falkirk wouldn't be attractive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MS RR Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The names that are coming up really aren't filling me with any confidence. It's also depressing to know that the dimwit Gary Holt is the one selecting the manager. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but despite the fact you could write their collective football knowledge on the back of a stamp, I wouldn’t be confident that the likes of Deans or McFarlane won’t have a big say. Would make you fu*king weep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, there are some of the usual suspects on there, some of whom probably haven't even applied, but there are one or two less predictable names there too like Holden, Taylor and O'Donnell who, again, probably haven't applied. I don't think we can realistically expect to see any up and coming guys who have already achieved anything decent being in the frame so the level of candidates that have been mentioned is probably what we're going to end up with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Paul Dickov is an interesting one at 12/1. Not a name I’d have expected to see on the list and he hasn’t managed since 2015. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever heard the proverb "a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing"? Holt may have more knowledge than Deans but I don't think that actually makes him a good candidate to be the one making this huge decision, mainly because Holt is totally clueless. 15 minutes ago, ShaggerG said: What names would you like to see?

Well I certainly don't want a tried and failed manager which applies to a lot of the potential candidates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustLuvinThepian Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 We must remember that we are looking for a Head Coach and not a Manager. The remit of a Head Coach is a lot less than that of a Manager. Therefore, unless they are desperate for a gig, anyone who was previously a Manager is unlikely to be willing to take a backwards step in their career and take a Head Coaches role. It's more likely that someone who was a hands on assistant manager previously would be a better fit. Equally, with Dunfermline now looking for a Manager, they will likely be a more attractive proposition than we are purely based on their higher league status and increased television exposure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untrustworthy Board with a track record of hire and fire Holt Talentless squad No youth set up Support that will not back you through a barn spell Whoever gets offered the job will want guarantees taking the above into account. 2-3 year contract. Limits on Holts involvement. Complete control on signings. Who can blame them for that thinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
