The Falkirk FC Thread

Losing McManus would be an utter disaster for us. He's constantly hassling defenders, chasing everything and he has picked up the knack of scoring from nothing.

We're pretty poor at the moment but are doing enough to stay in touch, we just can't afford to lost him.

That team Marshmallo put up is exactly how we should be playing, solid base with enough creativity going forward to dominate teams. I don't like playing 2 strikers with Longridge in behind, just doesn't work.

[Bantabairn 125]

Interesting times for our “ new look BOD “ assuming that the so called interest for McManus is true  it’s going to be impossible for anyone to compete with even Partick, Barrow or Carlisle. As mentioned if we loose McManus we’d be as well deciding if we are going to renew our season tickets for a prolonged stay in this shiter of a league, as without him we ain’t going up.

Believe McManus is more settled with his young family in the central belt again so would be surprised if he wants to move.

One thing we can all agree on is that it would be a disaster if he does go.

I’d rather have Longridge have his one good game in 5 than relying on.. MacLean? (Who did well against Airdrie to be fair). He’s not consistent but in league one I doubt we can get better.

French CH in training with us.

Carlisle is an easy enough commute.

Chuck the Bairnforlife cash at McManus.

[Bairnardo 25,806]

January really is fucking w**k, as is being in this shite league. No shortage of deficiencies that need addressed yet instead of that here we are staring down the barrel of losing someone we will be ill equipped to replace.

I for one do not agree it would be a disaster

Wrong. It's the one man Maginot Line, Mehdi Khalis.

As a BFL contributor I wouldn't be adverse to this idea.

Maurice Johnston another example before he shat on Celtic

 

Last January Dan James was at Leeds United photographed in new Leeds shirt with squad number and flashed all across social media.

Swansea's American owner sanctioned the deal but it needed their chairman Huw Jenkins signature, he turned his phone off and went to bed and the contract could not be finalized before the window shut so he retuned to Swansea.    

James obviously joined Man Utd in the summer.

[FalkirkBairn93 247]

Bigger loss than Longridge IMO

Cheers, daughters crying now

[Stuperman01 252]

Jesus, I never thought I would live to see the day where  players like McManus and Longridge could be pivotal to us being promoted from League 1. How we have fallen these are as grim times as ever to support Falkirk yet those at the route cause are still in charge. 

[Bantabairn 125]

It’s pure speculation so let’s not get too carried away, however wouldn’t it be nice to see some swift and fast positive action from our BOD on both players, just maybe an olive branch to the fans after a torturous, horrendous few years......

[Stuperman01 252]

Could we contact Ross Wilson and ask if Sevco could throw another Zak Rudden type our way?

It's a stark reminder of where we are now - in the 3rd tier of Scottish football.

To think a club like Livingston are in the top 6 of the Premiership whilst we languish in the wilderness celebrating beating Montrose & Stranraer. 

Changed days indeed - those in charge of our club have guided us to where we are now with spectacular incompetence , so how come they are all so arrogant?   

[BairnBrainBrian 149]

Is McManus really getting such a huge wage that we cannot afford to pay it all?

It's not as if we are living on the edge of extinction.
