MSG GTF! Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 3 minutes ago, Chinatoon Bairn said: I've heard a rumour that both Holt and Thompson are due to be announced gone at the AGM. This comes from a bloke I was speaking to in the pub last night who had mentioned that Sheerin had been sacked a few hours before the announcement. Thomson should never be allowed to weasel his way back into the Stadium again. If he wants to watch the team, he can pay like the rest of us and that’s where it ends. “PR guy” McFarlane needs his arse booted out as well. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chance of Falkirk's next manager being one of those 3 is zero. I'd bite your hand off for Dick Campbell but there is literally no chance of him coming to us.

Football Manager 22: Falkirk and Stenhousemuir's key assets according to the popular simulation game | Falkirk Herald Falkirk manager expectations ... "If you take the top job at the Falkirk Stadium, you’ll be expected to win cinch League 1, doing it in style playing attacking and entertaining football. The club also want you to develop young players to eventually sell them for a profit." - Bang on Holt ... "... His 5/20 judging player ability is low for his role..." - Every game has glitches Hetherington ... "... best role is actually as a defensive winger on the left of midfield, which may make it hard to fit him into a starting eleven...

Guest Caractacus Potts Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 1 hour ago, Taxi for De Massis said: What is curious is that we have a major shareholder in Phil Rawlins, who has the extensive football background. Yet, and while this may be me, there appears to have been nothing to show for this. If there is such a connection to Stoke, and there's the work in the MLS, then why are we dealing with Huddersfield (is it because we had Arfield and Wallace go there, many moons ago)? I'm wondering that if/when Holt goes, we'll see this materialise or as usual, it's a lot of talk. When Stokes, O'Donnell and Cregg came our way, I believe the connection was thanks to Yogi and Liam Brady being friendly, nothing necessarily on paper. Once again, if I also may ask, where is the "biggest budget in the league" based on? Rawlins seems like an imposter. Stokes success was under Coates and Orlando was under the owner Augusto. Maybe he played a part but he looks more like a George Craig to me, a salesman- who happened to be in the right place at the right time and made sure everyone knew about it. Interesting too that his ex wife is still involved at Orlando as Phil was elbowed out the door. Maybe she was the real brains behind it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Wanted: Meat Shield. Tasks include saying as little as possible in pre- and post- game interviews, putting out the cones and taking the blame for the shortcomings of those in positions of seniority. Position for 1 year but likely to be terminated early in the new year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he have executive power? - THAT incredible You Tube meeting and becoming a meme - Appalling recruitment and Gary Holt's role as director of football - An old, experienced hand or a young, vibrant coach? - Names in the frame?

Shadwell Dog Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Mcglynn will be on buttons at Raith but he's In a job currently where he knows he's pretty much safe as long as he keeps them nearer the top of the league than the bottom. I've said before about dick Campbell that whilst he's done a great job at Arbroath he could easily turn in to another John Lambie with us. Arbroath suits him and it's his type of club. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Have listened to Spiers pod and the likes of shouts of McGlynn, McCall and Campbell would suit us down to the ground, great organisers and recruiters but there’s about 0.1% of any of them happening. As stated if you don’t ask you don’t her but I can imagine it would be a short phone call to any of the above before the laughing begins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightly seen as a career wrecker I very much doubt the new manager will get the pulses going and the morale of the support. I can't agree with that. How many players that have left us over the past few seasons have been unable to find clubs? Last year's dross for instance: Todd queen of the south Leitch Cove Sammon and Durnan. Alloa Alston kilmarnock Connolly raith Gomis Clyde Kelly livingston Mercer east fife Francis Bradford PA. One of them is in the premier League and 3 are in the championship. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
