A decision that may have killed off Falkirk FC cannot be down solely to a coach with a 6 month contract. it was a unique case. But let’s not go over it all again, hideous chapter. I tell what is bollocks that it would have killed the club. It didn’t kill Raith and would not have killed FFC. That doesn’t mean I would have signed him though Edited December 5, 2022 by Back Post Misses -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most recent I can think of are “The Rawlins” and Colin Liddel.

Springfield Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 46 minutes ago, PedroMoutinho said: I agree in 99.9% of cases. However, quite clearly the objections to signing Goodwillie were not based on footballing reasons. So to suggest that the board should or would have no involvement in that decision is wide of the mark in my view. McGlynn has the say so on players, like a manager should have, but we’re kidding ourselves if it doesn’t need signed off by the chairman or BOD in our set up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 What players we sign should 100% be up to the manager, how the manager spends his playing budget is completely his domain IMO. I’d be quite heavily opposed to any BOD at the club interfering with footballing matters in that way, it just does not work at our level and even further up the pyramid I can’t think of many examples where a manager not being in control of what players sign for the club has yielded much success. So you are quite happy that a manager decision can damage the clubs potential future income and reputation? Your approach is fine the majority of the time but not on this one.Seriously…in what other aspect of business would such an approach that the managers make strategic decisions that could harm the firm, with the directors excluded?… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMG_6483.MOV 697.35 kB · 5 downloads It is but as we all know, the refs at this level (especially) are terrible! We can focus on that but Alegrias indecision is equally poor. Before the defender got back he had time to make up his mind and pick a spot but he dithered and dithered allowing Lyness to narrow his angle and the defender an opportunity to recover (foul him). For me, Alegria gives the ref a let off by not shooting earlier and looks like he's played for it so the ref can wave it away. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. He's not clinical enough in those situations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith only reversed the decision when sponsors and investors started to withdraw, fans threatened to boycott, the woman’s team disowned them, and their reputation started to suffer in the press and media…. The SNP £500k handout was what saved RR. Their sponsorship cash fell off a cliff, and they still had to pay out the four figure salary to “him”. Transfer those losses with no SNP money to cover the losses, and we would have been in a very perilous state. There was not a direct and easy comparison twixt RR and us, and. It would have been a hell of an ask to expect well heeled fans to cover the losses that would have tumbled down upon our collective heads. Thankfully, we only have a shortfall of £400k……..it could have been much much worse. There are no eejits on our Board, and I am confident enough that they have learned many a lesson since the massive upheaval of last December and January.
