That's the thing, I don't think.we could get Murray, I would rather have him than Mcglynn in ideal world, big fan of Murrays Airdrie team, and whether we can afford him, we are managing to find £1,500 a week on an unfit striker who is finished, so know where I'd prefer that money to go towards
Why could we not afford him? He'll be on what 25 to 30 k a year at Airdrie tops.

Would you be willing to give him 4 years to slowly build his own team to be a realistic contender,
I would think there would be a bigger threat of Murray going to Raith if we don't go up this year..
Why would he need 4 years? At Falkirk he's got far more budget to work with . At Airdrie he's had to work like that as he's got hee haw to work with. At Falkirk he'd have one of the biggest if not the biggest budget in the league. Yes there's some dross hanging about but some would be ok squad players and hopefully he could get a bit more out some of them than Rennie.
If he went to Airdrie then I'd take mcglynn in a minute. A manager that's actually won something.

Can you afford Ian Murray though?
Surely the money tree is getting more threadbare by the L1 season.
Let's face it he'll be on peanuts at your side the now and compo therefore wouldn't be a whole lot. Might change of course if you go up but at the moment I doubt he'd be outside our price range.

Not getting the love for Mcglynn tbh, Ian Murray is the no brainer for me, plus his actions in the Goodwillie affair would leave bad taste in my mouth, our board may have wanted to sign him going by rumours bit he actually did
He's got Raith in the hunt for a playoff spot in the champ this season and they finished 3rd last season despite having to run a very tight ship. His managerial record is head and shoulders above Murray's. I wouldn't be against Murray but mcglynn any day over him.

That is 100% the wrong thing to do. Never a bad time to speak to the supporters IMO.
Exactly. How would the bod and management look if they cancelled it due to a poor result. That's what deans mob would've done definitely. These guys aren't deans thank feck.

Whatever happens with the manager hopefully we hear soon. I know mathematically we can still make the play offs but that’s obviously not going to happen. Clarity for next season as soon as possible would be good.
I also hope they rethink the fans meeting after the Montrose game, feelings could be running high and wouldn’t want it to turn toxic, no one would need that!
Best time to have it.

Who is your new chairman now that Deans has gone?
Noone currently. Having trouble finding someone willing to do this job both time wise and it's been a real poisoned chalice in recent years.

Certainly going about as well as I expected.
He's the least of our worries to be fair. Bringing him in to that side without bolstering other areas was always going to be a waste of cash. A team playing well and full of confidence would've brought more out of him but that's certainly not us.

Only saw the first 10 minutes as my steam wouldn’t work. Sounds like a blessing.
Another dreadful result.You need to get a new pc then mate. Latest ones work on electricity.

Ah, that explains his baffling positivity when the board arrived.
He wasn't even on the board when they arrived so nowt to do with that I'm afraid. I even said at the time that I didn't have any friends on the bod .

Well, we don't know that they are. I'd like to think that they're already considering other options.
You're right but these pub meetings kind of makes you think that at least up till now that was there thoughts

I really don't think things could get any more depressing as a Falkirk fan. Gutless team lead by a gutless manager. Meanwhile we're paying a striker a fortune for this league when we have absolutely no chance of making the playoffs never mind getting promoted. The fact the bod are actually still considering keeping Rennie after performances like this is mental.

I reckon riceys Alloa will end up above us which would be a complete riddy for all concerned.
Looks like it's going to be a

Wilson on for kabia . Must be settling for a one nil defeat.

How can you just put the same 11 out for the second half after that shocking first half display. I'm beginning to think Rennie has downed tools now along with most of the players.

The longer Rennie is here the worse we get it would seem. 1500 quid a week on a striker and we can't beat Peterhead .

This is embarrassing. Going up to Peterhead playing for a point and still can't keep a clean sheet. Dreadful stuff.

Let’s be honest it’s not like we’re Chelsea or Liverpool. Do we honestly think there’s one team out there worrying about a Dowds or Morrison?
I would wager that the top four couldn’t really give two Fcks who we playYou get far more info from Liverpool and Chelsea about injuries .

Unbelievable that after a full transfer window we're still stuck with the 3 drossigos starting games. Tells you everything you need to know about another dreadful January window. What the hell was the point of signing Jacobs if he can't get a game in front of miller or hetherington ?

Saved his really torrid time for later when a rather angry husband gave him a bit of a doing.
Did he not get chased down the street by the boy with a baseball bat or golf club ?

Football clubs are notoriously bad at exactly the point you’ve made. Combination of factors but primarily results/fan’s expectations are normally the catalyst for BODs to bin managers. Can think of a club not to far away from us……
I know but at least replace them with someone with a decent track record . I mean glass and Maloney have done absolutely nothing managerially. Too many coaches getting jobs at the top before they've cut their teeth in the lower leagues if you ask me. It works every now and again but very rarely.

That's another issue entirely. If there's competition from clubs above we'll struggle especially if we dither about what we are doing.
