FalkirkBairn2021 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 5 hours ago, PedroMoutinho said: I keep seeing this point made but I don’t necessarily agree. Queens Park have just appointed a director of football, and Cove and Clyde also have one in this league. The quality of recruitment is ultimately what determines the success of a football club. The reason we are where we are is that we’ve consistently managed to get rid of a whole team and replace them with even worse quality for the last 5 years. The £50k or whatever that a DOF will be paid is a lot less than what we’ll have spent on bringing in and getting rid of shite players over the last few years. Even less if they can identify sellable assets. Clearly Holt isn’t up to the job but I don’t think it’s ridiculous to have someone focused on recruitment at the club, as it’s the key factor in our success or otherwise. 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should only be for 2-3 weeks tops so not sure who else could do that for us. Maybe one of the players could step up but that may undermine the new manager depending on results Obvious choice would be Dixon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we could be delusional ‘big club’ Falkirk nah we arent delusional, diabolical on the park maybe but not delusional our fanbase have accepted we are shit, which probably explains why the fanbase is still there in the hope that one week we will turn it round. The saying it cant always rain forever springs to mind but in a Falkirk context we cant be shite forever (though current form they are pushing that one close). All the gubbings in place for bigger than where we are but due to disastrous board decisions and appointments we are almost as diddy as Stenny Edited December 5, 2021 by AL-FFC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 He's obviously not been the no.1 target when we were looking for a striker but holy f**k surely there was a better option. At least Rudden when he came to us had a bit of a swagger about him. Ruth like some others we have had on loan just doesn't look ready to play first team football every week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he's absolutely who I'd want but we don't really have months to get a new guy in, not that it made much of a difference when you see what we ended up with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocco Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Holt’s role should be a staff position and if Falkirk have done it all correctly, then they can make him redundant with one weeks notice and one weeks pay. If we do decide we need a DOF then wait 6 months and advertise the role. As for people saying he’a doing a good job on the development side, this may be true but you do realise our CEO ran the Forth Valley Academy. I’m sure he could help oversee that if Holt goes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I still don't understand how we can do so badly with the tools on hand. Biggest budget in the league any half decent manager should be able to put in a very strong challenge for the title as a bare minimum. We're not needing a huge over achiever here just someone who can make the most of what we have FFS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Queens Park have kindly put the highlights up, so many players in that squad that need to get so far to f**k. Starting with Hetherington as that back pass for their third goal perfectly sums him up. Forever playing sloppy passes. Hopefully we can punt Mcdaid back to Dundee as well as he offers absolutely nothing. Luca Connell & Connor Smith look to have had field days yesterday(granted the full QP team clearly did), both are loanees and both are miles ahead of any loans we've brought in yet again. Sheerin needs to go but I don't have scooby who comes in and changes that squad around. Holt also needs to go as his recruitments lead to this shitshow. Another shite season.
