Shodwall cat Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 1 hour ago, Springfield said: Good post, never quite got or understood the DOF role unless you’re a Man U/C Arsenal Liverpool etc and scouring for the worlds elite. A good manager will know good players and doesn’t need a guy hanging about and sometimes undermining the manager and coaching staff telling them who to sign. Maybe I’m older school, but employ decent scouts and you’re nearly there. Managers are in constant touch with agents and vice versa. As SC has posted McGlynn has shown the way with his diving and ducking, not far off Jeffries and McCall way of old. I can see the point perhaps if you have a young coach in charge of the side who perhaps doesn't have the contacts and experience yet. However, the dof then has to have the right contacts and ability to get the right players in for the coach to work with. No point in having a dof like Holt in charge of recruitment who'll just come up with excuses when the best striker they can come up with is Jaime bloody Wilson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) I wouldn't hold out too many hopes up about Ayr selling all theirs. Their crowd at Raith on Friday night was piss poor for a side fighting for promotion to the premiership.

Enigma Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Before he went and signed a rapist there were a few rumblings about McGlynn “moving upstairs” after another season or two with us. With a younger coach, perhaps Berra, taking the reigns with Paul Smith assisting. Wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to do the same at Falkirk if he gets you back and established in the Championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wanting to rush McGlynn's time as manager through as I'm sure it will be an exciting few years but there is a rumour of a supposed 'future manager' coming in to join the coaching team next year 🫡 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big chungus Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 How much do you reckon we'll get for CM7 at the end of the season then? 150k plus add ons? Or maybe in the region of 50-100k? I have accepted if we get a decent offer in for him and the player wants to go he will go. Hopefully we could maybe bank some of the money and buy Jack Hamilton from Livi. Granted we would have to be in the championship. Also really hopes Kennedy stays. He's had his best season with us still only 20 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStander1876 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Wonder if he'd take a new contract if we got up. Huge player for us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with this year, any available cash will go to the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStander1876 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Unless this mystery manager is just shadowing the team. Can't see us wasting a wage on someone who could just leave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairn in Exile Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 At the risk of being hit with another salvo of reddies, but for the sake of the football club that I love, I’m prepared to stick my head above the parapet once more! Would FSS be legally allowed to access Falkirk FC’s ST mailing list to allow them to do a targeted mail drop appealing for members? And, this is really pushing the envelope, but if we are able to access this mailing list, I wonder if there was some way that people would have to opt out of joining FSS instead of having to opt in? Try to make it an integral part of buying a season ticket? This could maybe be done in conjunction with I think @Bigbrbairn's idea of paying for your ST monthly. Even successful business people (which I’m not) occasionally have bad ideas! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStander1876 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 A much better idea than your last. STs were £320 last year, put the cost up to £330 and have the option to keep it at £320. Or keep it at £320 and £10 of each sale goes to FSS? Cant see people paying £120 extra over a year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) Down at the stadium shop earlier, quite surprised with the numbers in for Ayr tickets. Just a suggestion, what about an additional large advertising board dedicated to the FSS and the need for subscription? Ideally placed on the Grangemouth and Bog roads ?

No the striker. On loan at Hartlepool. Scored 8 in 16 games for Arbroath I believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
