TheScarf Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I don't say this lightly when I say that John Hughes is the last full-time football manager you want managing you when you need to rebuild. 99% of the players he signs are fucking shite. He's fine when he inherits a good team, which I think he's only done once since the left Falkirk in 2009. Chairmen need to wake up and realise he's not the guy you want to hire when you've just sacked someone because your team is shite, he's the guy you hire when your manager has been poached for doing well and you have a good team. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were up to Peterhead away, where we had an appalling record, Falkirk were due to play at home and we’re only a point behind. Meh, I was delighted to see it so I won't hear any doubts thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season where Raith beat Ayr to the tittle (2009 ish?) and the Covid one a few years back. I cba checking to see how the managers stack up but Allan Johnston is at least level. McCall has done this 4 times, Dick Campbell at least 3 times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, it's not just me who spends every Saturday night at home with a bottle of wine and a takeaway and the Falkirk thread on auto-refresh on the big telly, is it? Going to go multi screen for next season and add in walking down the halbeath road Edited May 10, 2022 by Lex 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Thank f**k Cook is coming in. I’d have absolutely no faith in the current setup to make any kind of inspired appointment (assuming Hughes is punted firmly out of KY12). It leaves us with some kind of hope that we’ll actually see some positive changes within the club soon. How much power will he have in making those decisions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Campbell did cross my mind, I could think of twice when he'd done it (Partick and Arbroath, was he at Brechin aswell?) That's some amount for McCall, the Ayr twice and yourselves I'd imagine? Can't think of the fourth. This was fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall also did it with Clydebank in the 90s- You're right re Campbell- won promotion to second tier with Brechin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when we're utter shite, the fixation on Dunfermline Athletic is unmoved. I remember joining my mate for a Raith Rovers vs Ross County game in Second Division/League 1 and other than the classic Geordie Munro, every song involved the Pars in some way. A pitiful experience for all involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
