ShaggerG Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 has Liam Rowan any potential,Just signed for us Did look at one point that he may have made the step up and challenged for the right back position but couldn't quite push on to do that. Maybe better asking Arbroath fans as he was with them on loan last season. I don't think you'll particularly like some of their responses though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDust Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I dont think you've quite filled in enough gaps Its not about timeframes, its about the difference in experience between the two managers. A manager with as much experience as Houston should be in far more demand than an inexperienced one like Fowler, all other things being equal. The fact that no one has tried to get Fowler doesnt really have any relevance on the point about Houston Id say that trend has reversed nowadays unless we are talking at the very top of Football which doesnt include Scotland. Very few of the dinosaur managers about nowadays as most clubs look to give someone their first managers job, pre Houston our last 3 managers were in that mode. Ok, I'll let you off. Think it was more a case of you mis-writing it though! A crystal ball is required........ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 OneF would have gone in to complete meltdown if we'd appointed a 'novice' for a fourth time in a row imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 A better example would be Derek Adams. Did very well with Ross County to get them promoted twice and get into the top flight, yet no other Scottish club would prise him away from his job there and nobody wanted him when he was out of a job. Does that mean he isn't good at his job? Absolutely not. But I wouldn't want him as Falkirk manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few of the dinosaur managers about nowadays as most clubs look to give someone their first managers job, pre Houston our last 3 managers were in that mode. A crystal ball is required........ In that case, surely the original point was correct? The fact that Houston isnt in demand is because he isnt very good A better example would be Derek Adams. Did very well with Ross County to get them promoted twice and get into the top flight, yet no other Scottish club would prise him away from his job there and nobody wanted him when he was out of a job. Does that mean he isn't good at his job? Absolutely not. But I wouldn't want him as Falkirk manager. Yes.

Gaz FFC Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Isn't getting an 'in demand' manager the same as FFC signing an wanted player as in not very likely because we pay £2 an hour? Why people on here assume we can go out and get Mourinho is baffling 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs of course DID prise him away from the job once, only for him to return about a year later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Houston has managed in the top flight, won a Scottish Cup with a team for only the second time in their history and managed to take a lower league team to the final as well. He's also been involved with the national set up and worked for Scotland's top club until joining us. I suspect more clubs would look at him to manage them rather than Fowler, who has done a good job, despite the trend these days of going for younger managers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why, then, did you use Fowler as a comparison? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Maybe they should just merge the Falkirk and QotS threads so we can all just be one big happy family? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer it the way it is, the seethe generated by those unaware of how a multi-club forum works is highly amusing. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
