DA Baracus Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Reckon that there won't actually be any announcement about Hughes. Instead we'll get a bit about his first signing, whoever that might be, whenever that might be, talking about how delighted Hughes is and how it will be the first of many, some pish about rebuilding the squad blah blah. Or it will be a list of players punted/to be punted, with some pish about how Hughes will now begin the rebuilding process blah blah. Basically, they'll shite it and avoid addressing it completely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, they'll shite it and avoid addressing it completely.Or a new coach/coaches? If they stick with Hughes, they really have to back him and make sure he can have no excuse about not being given this or that. If he’s staying, he picks the coaching team, we make sure we do all that we can to sign his top targets and we offload players he doesn’t want. Unfortunately, there’s every chance that results in a squad of Chalmers type players. But if we stick with Hughes, there can’t be any excuses about him not getting a chance to do what he wants.As I’ve said before, the most likely outcome if we stick with him is that we’re in the same situation as we were last October/November. We will need a manager to take on an awful squad that he’s put together and the job is much less appealing than would be just now. Not that it’s a particularly appealing job right now, but at least whoever’s in charge will get to pretty much build their own team, rather than being in charge of diddies they didn’t sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had we not had to play on Firhill’s pitch we would have been comfortably further up the table. We won’t take any of these League one part time diddies lightly or overlook them as we build a squad for being back in The Championship in 2023/24.

Cardle is Magic Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I've followed football enough to know that fans - including myself - can be fickle. If we romped to the League 1 title under Hughes then the fact he had "Dirty Falkirk b*****d" vociferously chanted at him would likely become an amusing footnote of his story at Dunfermline. However, I'm also aware that it's far, far more likely we toil for a couple of months, the club eventually bins him in November and we've wasted yet another season through the Board's infuriating inertia. Either way, we were relegated almost 10 days ago and all we have heard from the club is some bland reorganising of chairs in the Boardroom and that one of our coaching staff is leaving. The appointment of David Cook as CEO was supposed to bring "fresh energy and professionalism to the club" but he's been completely invisible. For someone purporting to be a lifelong Pars fan, he's surely aware how interminable and damaging this silence is? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 “The bad news is, we’ve been relegated to League One and Hughes is probably staying in charge. On a more positive note, we have made the board leaner and more flexible, meaning I am chairman *and* CEO…You’re still thinking about the bad news, aren’t you?”“There is no good news, David. Only bad news and irrelevant news.”“I think merging the position of chairman and CEO is generally considered good news.”“We’re going to be replaced by one of Hughes’ old jobber pals!” “You’re not going to be replaced by jobbers!

Islay Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I’m clinging onto the hope that they are going to announce Hughes is away and the appointment of a new manager at the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
