Let’s get right behind the man and his team and for once everyone pull in the same direction. Lets not get ahead of ourselves wait for the official announcement. What do we have ? Unsubstantiated posts and a Daily Record article which is a publication that long departed from journalism and facts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 McGlynn wouldn't have been my first choice but would have been high on the list in terms of realistic candidates. A much better manager than all the current out of work jobbers so happy overall 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a bairn Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I’ll wait for the customary “his Wikipedia page has been updated” post before believing it. What can you say? It would be probably as good an appointment as you could hope for at this level but the DGW stuff is difficult to look past for me, but I accept it’s maybe not as clear cut for some. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked in just now to see if this was confirmed and found 9 of the 10 top stories related to the OF match yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we're obviously struggling financially I'd prefer his assistant to be a player coach. Two for the price of one so to speak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) 55 minutes ago, ShaggerG said: Correct. Goodwillie shouldn't even get a mention. It's a fresh start and all we should be thinking about is backing the guy and letting him get on with the job! Good luck with that, there’ll be a Partick Thistle fan and a few Pars fans along shortly to bring it up at every opportunity Edited May 2, 2022 by San Starko Rover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Blue Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 If McGlynn is confirmed then this is a decent appointment ... I'd have welcomed him at Palmerston ... always liked the football his teams played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 1 hour ago, Dunning1874 said: So when John Hughes got Falkirk promoted then kept them there for four seasons, he hadn't established Falkirk as a top flight side because Eddie May then relegated them? Scott Burns now reporting McGlynn to Falkirk is nearly a done deal. Motherwell are currently an established top flight side. RRs 7th 2nd 7th relegated is not the signature of an “established” side. Anyway, if it’s him, so be it. No gnashing of teeth from me. I have already said I will get my ST. That’s about all anyone can do…..and that will be the case regardless of who gets the gig. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustLuvinThepian Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Its all part of the 5-year plan. McGlynn takes control for the next couple of season and then moves upstairs to become the DoF. At that time, having gained a few more years experience at Airdrie, Murray comes in as the new manager. Total sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Smith’s wife is our CEO. Whether that means he stays even if John goes or not I don’t know. If Paul goes too then she’s probably out the door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxi for De Massis Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Paul Smith was with us for a couple of seasons wearing the fetching Hummel. How was he then? My memory was not bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 If this comes off, I can see absolutely no downside for us. No more untried youth coaches, aspiring barbers of American tourists but an actual bona fide football manager. It's an idea we haven't tried for years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How these two mythical Directors can push anything through on a board of six, the CEO, DoF and Phil Rawlins all on the interview panel is beyond me. Even with my limited brainpower that’s nine. Embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
