The appointment of rennie was absurd from the off, but they must have had some romantic notion that the former ballboy would be our saviour, at least though his contract expires at the end of season, I fully expect him to be emptied, there is literally no reason why he'd be kept on. Where the doubt arises is due to BPM still backing him, who obviously has a hotline to the BoD, but that is purely his opinion, which he is entitled to and its totally fine. I just need to appreciate that his opinion is not the BoDs and I reckon collectively they'll make the sensible call on this and send rennie on his way. Backing him? Where have I said he should stay or go? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the BoD are so stretched by so many things, no-one takes ownership of anything further down the priority list now. “After a solid win in Dumbarton, The Bairns looked to start a winning run but Peterhead’s Jack Brown had other ideas as his rebounded shot with 15 minutes left to play was enough to earn his side the win.” Surely there are enough employees to deal with things like that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite league positions, despite form, despite what any form of logic says, we will go out and beat Montrose. That will then be “the first green shoots of recovery“ confirmed, a corner turned, we are on our way. The FFC juggernaut……sorry, the FFC 76 plate Ford Transit is back in the game, and it would madness to stop the project now. You read it here first. Mystic Mug has spoken (well, technically typed, but you get the idea). Would be a fixed odds coupon buster 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rennie is the one responsible for making his only midfield signing out of 7 a guy who hasn’t played 90 minutes in 2 years. We could all see in September that the midfield was a huge issue and the new management team have failed to rectify it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer to follow Falkirks own matchday updates but much prefer the BBC as its far far superior. sometimes it can go 20 minutes without an in match update. it also isn't great at reporting opposition opportunities, prefer it to give an accurate balanced reflection of the game. anything that attaches floating fans to the club should be encouraged 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge of allan bairn Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 I hadn't a clue what rennies cv looked like before he joined but thought someone in the new board knew something we didn't and that it might be worth a try. he comes across as a thoroughly decent guy with solid "coaching" experience ( as did Sheerin). he has effectively had a 3 month interview and shown very little to warrant an extension. if the board extend his contract ( unless he pulls a rabbit out the hat and makes the play offs) at the end if the season then they will lose all credibility, and a serious amount of fans. I'm fed up of watching teams that don't win, don't seem to care and to a large extent are totally disorganised. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) We are where we are. There will be a way out, but it’s not going to be any time soon. Dowds? Injured…..as simple and as undramatic as that. None of us know where the next month or two will take us, be we know it isn’t going to be upwards. If the BoD go with Rennie for next season, then they would have been as well giving him an 18 month contract from the get go, as he has unfortunately shown us precious little on the park in the way of motivating the inherited players or creating anything better from the players he has brought in, or even given us a style of play (where “getting beat” isn’t a style of play), so none of that matters if he is kept on. Its not too often that you a football team that is much less than its component parts, but FFC is undoubtedly a fine example of that rarity.

Shadwell Dog Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 12 hours ago, ShaggerG said: No doubt I'll gather a few red dots for this, but this is the type of thing that really frustrates me. Certain posters will just completely ignore the fact that the guy is carrying an injury and actually, IMO, hasn't been fully fit since he arrived. Instead they'll just jump on the opportunity to rubbish Jacobs, or Rennie, or both. The bigger question IMO is, should he have been signed in the first place given the fact that he had been out for a long long time? I suspect that he was one of two or three midfielders that we hoped to get in rather than be the main man in the middle. Don't suppose we'll ever know? Surely he'd have to pass a medical before joining us I'd hope. He's been a disastrous signing what ever way you look at it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 If nothing else, it points to a fair degree of consistency. Given he is a loan signing, a medical might not have even been a consideration. Desperate times give birth to desperate measures, which more often than not, will prove to be desperately bad decisions. We are now locked in a position of endlessly fire fighting. There seems to be so little space to think coherently let alone strategically……and that probably affects everyone at the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just reinforces the notion that the January window is so difficult if this is the sort of signing that we had to make and couldn't add another midfielder either. I thought at Broadwood that he was looking a bit better but he's apparently picked up an injury since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality you'd have to pay off every contracted player before signing an entire team of part time players on top of that with signing on fees. Hybrid first then part time the season after or the season after if they decide to go that way. Hope not though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 First time in a very long time I’ve decided that I cannot stomach the absolute shite and decided not to go on Saturday, and most likely finished with attending any remaining games. Good luck for anyone still prepared to watch a set of guys who clearly don’t give two Fcks for the club. Clear decisive correct decisions by the BOD will determine if three STs are renewed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that you have been given a reddie for this post by BPM (Board Propaganda Monger). It was ok for him not to attend games before under the previous board but now that you have decided that you have had enough and don't want to go anymore that is something terrible. What a hypocrite he is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe both Killie and Partick were interested in him, but obviously both would have required medicals that the guy wouldn’t have passed, so we were the only show in town with no medical required, so he signed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
