Early 70's I think.Miller knows he is away and probably knows who has been offered the poisoned chalice 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I hoped you'd enjoy it. I'm just scrambling round looking for a club that might be said to have had a worse season than us. It's kind of debatable though. Genuine question: Did you lot spend any time in the bottom tier when there were 3 divisions - basically the spell between 1975 and 1994? My dodgy memory says yes, but I'm not sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railway End Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 We actually won the old 2nd division in season 1974-75 but this season must go down as one of our lowest placings in certainly the 50 years I have been following Falkirk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 You’re at your lowest ebb then you remember we’ll have Queen of the South and their posters down in the league next year. Hard going. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Comfortably the worst team / season in my lifetime. I'd love to say it can't get any worse, but I've said exactly the same the past three years only for the next season to be even worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Hearing Miller say that he probably won’t be here next season is genuinely the best thing to happen to us this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally the manager tells the players after the last game if they’ll be offered a new contract, and the ones who won’t are on the release list which goes out a few days later. This year there is no-one to make those decisions. It’ll be up to the next manager to decide if he wants to offer deals to the likes of Mutch, Telfer etc, assuming they haven’t signed for anyone else before he arrives. So until he’s in place I don’t think you’ll get much of a release list. I guess the alternative is to put up a list of everyone who’s out of contract and add a caveat that the next manager might ask some of them to come back, but that would seem a clumsy way of doing things IMO. We’ll see in the next few days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re short of quality in virtually every position. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I've heard a rumour that it could be James McPake but he's currently having knee surgery so that's why it's a temporary gig at the moment. Absolutely brilliant guy, and you'll not find many people that 'buy in' to a club as much as he would, but I hope for your sake that it's absolute nonsense (which tbf, it easily could be!). He beat Kenny Miller to the Dundee gig. If there's even a bit of truth in it, Miller must fucking hate McPake beating him to job after job! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's possible, and it would be a good sign IMO if it were true. Either way though I don't think anything can happen until we announce a manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll see in the next few days. All I’m really looking for is a very short statement saying everyone out of contract won’t be offered a new deal and everyone still under contract is free to leave. If they’re looking for people to tell the players as well I’m more than happy to help out.Doesn’t seem too unreasonable imo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
