Guest Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Sorry, but I certainly am not buying into the “better options” for McGlynn than FFC. His time at Raith was done, and he was absolutely tainted there by the Goodwillie affair. That particular race was run, and I do not believe there was any gig open to him that eclipsed our offer. Raith were not interested in a fight to keep him. Other than his 8 month stint at Hearts which ended in him leaving in the February for the usual reason (poor results), Manager of FFC is arguably the biggest gig of his career. I do not think other better gigs were on the horizon, and no, I do not buy into staying at Raith as being one of them. The man is in his 60s. He is looking for the best deal he can get. He is not looking at career progression. If we are indeed paying Championship wages for players, then it stands to reason that we must be paying Championship money for the management team too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be plenty red and white saltires in the stands that day but you’ll be able to crop them out again Sorry bud, I don't have time to look for these red and white Saltires, I'm too busy playing spot the fan. A great game but at the Excelsior Stadium it's a bit like playing battleship, lots of empty spaces. It'll take me forever to finish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wind Chime Jimmy Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 McGlynn signed Goodwillie, knowing his background and ignored sound advice offered to him during that time. Rightly, he was severely chastised and critised for his decision. He then issued a retrospective apology. I wouldn't have him at my club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m away back to the Airdrie thread, I don’t have the big league banter needed to cope - although I do have a better understanding of battleships than you seem too have. hopefully see you in the playoffs….. if you can spot me! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has their livelihood got to do with it too? Would have been much better coaches knocked back when M&M/Sheerin for the job and not like McGlynn had much better offers than us. The relevance is if they were any good then clubs would have employed them. Why can you not get that? Granted they may well have had offers. Clearly they have had to go and get living elsewhere, I have no axe to grind with either of them. McCracken in particular did a great job running the dressing room during Houston’s time. McGLynn has been in coaching for 30+ years at various levels and been employed by two of the biggest clubs in Scotland. He has won trophies, has a reputation for playing attractive football, winning this league with a club smaller than ourselves as well as being very well respected as a coach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also after the Goodwillie debacle I don’t think coming to us was entirely due to career progression. In any case that’s not the point that’s being made. The point is M&M had as good a record at Falkirk as McGlynn currently has. Being 11 points adrift is poor and sure McGlynn would accept that too. Ignoring circumstances of both M&M and McGlynn joining AGAIN to suit your argument 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStander1876 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Anyone implying M&M were anywhere near the same level as McGlynn has to be deluded. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk are playing in League One, and have been since the start of this decade. May well be playing there again next season. He’s managed Raith and Livingston, both in the Championship, and both clubs playing at a higher level than Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we can quote league positions til the sun sets, it’s just not very interesting or relevant to any reasonable debate. It would justify Cowdenbeath being a bigger club than Rangers in 2012 because Rangers were in League 2. A funny thought, just very obviously complete nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
