Against The Machine Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Nothing says confidence in an appointment like announcing it at 11pm on a Friday night. Interesting to see how it turns out though. You'd have to assume he doesn't have a tremendous pedigree, because with all due respect, he wouldn't be rocking up in League One if he did. But it's a departure from the usual suspects, and that's to be commended. Going for someone like Brian Rice is a lazy/easy pick, and it's the process that leads to folk like Jim Duffy and Gus McPherson still kicking about in the Championship in 2021. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I hear one of the new directors really pushed for him. Quite like the confidence in the decision to be honest! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the same reason large workforce’s join a union , strength and influence in numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregoFFC Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Welcome Martin! Excited for this … https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/3603909/aberdeen-should-look-at-usa-based-coach-martin-rennie-in-hunt-for-new-manager-insists-club-legend-brian-irvine/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 “In his 15-year career to date Martin has won a total of 4 league titles and 4 cups, with numerous runners-up awards. His teams have achieved a total of 10 top-three finishes and reached play-offs in 12 out of 14 seasons. Martin also has a 53% win-rate from his 400+ games as a head coach.Despite spending his whole coaching career abroad, Martin is a Scot, who was born in Thurso and raised in Larbert. As a child he was a ball boy at Brockville Park and has been a huge Falkirk fan ever since. Martin still has family in the area and has completed all of his coaching badges, including the Level 5 UEFA Pro Licence, via the Scottish FA. We’re sure all Bairns will warmly welcome Martin back home, and give him their full support as we endeavour to turn this season and the whole club around.”This appears to be backed up on wiki. Pretty exciting appointment in my opinion… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caractacus Potts Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Know he’s been mentioned before but still feels a bit left field. Anyway good luck to the guy. Feel like he will be operating with one hand tied behind his back if Holt is still stinking the place out though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Tbf, it’s the kind of ‘breath of fresh air’ appointment we all cry out for whenever there’s a vacancy. Especially when you punt an underachiever, that excitement of getting a new manager in is completely shagged out of you when you see the top favourites are folk like McIntyre, Rice, Kettlewell, Duffy and McCann, and you just want something a bit different because the usual suspects are so uninspiring. This is quite a bold appointment, though. Considering Falkirk’s current position in the league in what I’d imagine is a massive season for you financially. Rennie could turn out to be the appointment you’ve needed for a long time, but at the same time you could see yourselves thinking “we’ll, what the f**k did we expect was going to happen?!” We’re in a similar position with Yogi but for different reasons. Could be great. Could be a complete shambles.It would also be massively fucking hilarious to see you spend 4 (four) years by the seaside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Announcing it at 10.45pm on a Friday night is pretty chaotic energy that I can get behind, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
