Your first post implied total innocence on McGlynn's part which isn't actually the case then, is it Shadwell? If he was all for the signing initially then my low opinion of him stands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's straight from the horse's mouth So dead against it, he wrote on the official site a piece about how important the signing was and how good it would be. There is no way Sim railroads through a signing over McGlynn's head. He could have killed the signing at any point by simply stating that he would refuse to pick him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's straight from the horse's mouth Sounds like he’s covering his arse a bit. I’d actually heard that McGlynn wasn’t chuffed at all the board/fans prevented him from playing his star signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him as a guy who realised his mistake and went against the bod signing him. He was then overruled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Fitzgerald Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Pivotal season upcoming for Falkirk after 3 consecutive seasons of regression. You've laid the blame at two different BODs, 4 different management teams and three squads of players during this spell. Your fans have frequently deflected with attendance sizes and finance (the famous blue pound). However after a sixth place finish this season you'll go into next season with a manager on a poor run of form at his previous club, a large squad of proven duds signed on inflated wages, you'll no longer have the largest attendance in the league, you'll most definitely not have the largest budget. So if next season doesn't pan out do Falkirk fans finally take their reality check?Probably the most boring post I’ve seen for a long time, and that takes some going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulioBairn Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Can I just ask how long we are going to go round in circles about Goodwillie for? Nobody is going to win, nobody is going to lose, nobody is going to reveal sources, nobody is going to back down. Can we call it a draw and move on? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's raiths problem they need to resolve and hee haw to do with Falkirk McGlynn wasn't against the signing. Nothing that he wrote or said at the time or later so much as hinted at him being against it. As an SPFL manager he wasn't shy of a microphone if he wanted to tell the world what he actually thought, or if he wasn't keen on that - any number of back channels via journalists or indeed, apparently, your good self. He wasn't. There is a charitable interpretation that a narrow focused guy immersed in his football problems clung to the best football solution that presented itself. Other interpretations are available. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
