I'd expect him to know every player on our books. It was one of the questions he was asked at the PC today, and he basically replied that he already knows a great deal about our players. To answer the previous poster which you were responding to, I don't think there's any danger of the contracted players returning in the next few weeks. Particularly as many of them are already abroad on holiday. I can't see them back until pre-season training begins in mid June. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would meet the more physical requirements that mcglynn favours. I wouldn’t be surprised if McCann is moved on in the summer. He’s not the style of player Mcglynn seems to favour at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see what he can do further up the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Mcglynn basically confirmed that in his Falkirk Herald piece today. No coaching at the moment as they'll all be away on holiday. “We’ve been here before and right now the recruitment drive is the key thing to get right. There is no coaching so our full focus is on that. The next few weeks are massive and it will determine how the season is going to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 26 minutes ago, FFC1965 said: This might be a daft question but given that McGlynn started today and there are a stack of players contracted to 31.05.23 / 31.05.2024 will McGlynn run the rule over the squad in the next few weeks or did they effectively all bugger off for the summer after our last game v QPFC on 30.04.22 and wont return until pre season starts? Presumably the players will have an unfettered right to a number of weeks off but if that doesn't officially start until 1 June then getting a look at the squad now might be helpful. They could have been preparing for a playoff just now so its reasonable to get cracking on preparation for next season. Clearly the players would hate being called in, but they should have maybe thought about that before being such useless shitebags this season. I would be shocked if McGlynn doesn’t know the squad in some detail from his own knowledge and what the previous manager will have told him. He won’t need to be Pep FFS to know what quality he has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braes_Bairn Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 There was a press conference and photcall today. Falkirk TV interview will be later in the week. As far as fanfare goes, it's possible they might have some sort of "meet the manager" event during the close season. I'm guessing that if it happened it would be once season tickets go on sale. As a club we can’t even get the basics right. Why wouldn’t you record a Falkirk TV interview at the same time as the press or even better record one at the same time as the photographer was taking the photos last week. No other club would have its media outlets being the last ones to speak to the new manager? -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signed Aidan Connolly last summer, Dan Armstrong the year before and his starting full backs last season were Liam Dick and Reghan Tumilty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to hope that Holt when signing these guys had the insight to put clauses in if not we can't afford to pay them off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Decent, open and honest interview with the FH. He’s well versed with the players down here, and certainly sounds like who he wants are in sight. Just hoping he can get deals over the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they done it today your getting the exact same responses that McGlynn is giving the press. Leave it a few more days and you'll probably get totally different answers from based on his first few days in the job. Absolutely nothing wrong here whatsoever. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has already been discussed long since. He didn't sign for us and McGlynn won't make the same mistake twice. If my auntie had balls ... Yep I agree, just don’t like to see misinformation- wrong forum then I guess! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiths board were and are still paying for it and could be for some time yet. They didn’t pay what Clyde wanted either but outbid you marginally and then there’s the player’s choice to be considered. You had a lucky escape the way it ended up. Good luck next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other club would have its media outlets being the last ones to speak to the new manager? There was no time to do an interview last week. He came in at night, met with the board, presumably had his reps scrutinise the contract and then signed it. An hour after doing that the photographer - me - got him and PS for ten minutes to take some images so that the club could release the story. Then on his first day today he met the press to answer questions and posed for images from the two media outlets who sent photographers. He was planned to do an FFCTV interview today but for a couple of different reasons it didn't happen. I don't see it as a big deal. It'll be done in the next few days and it wasn't down to incompetence from anyone, as I think you're inferring, or conspiracies from dodgy staff / directors which was a major theme on here this time last season. It's just life. Sometimes things don't always go to plan. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
