    Would seem this guy Rennie is some sort miracle worker the way Falkirk are talking, more time to work with the players, get his message across, let's get to the transfer window etc. 

    Last week his Wikipedia page would've crashed with you guys trying to find out who on earth he was! 

    He’s actually been spoke about a number of times when we had a vacancy, given his links to the club and his success overseas. It was always suggested that he’d not be looking for a pay drop etc coming from the top flight MLS. 

    He’s alluded to the fact that it’s dream to manage his boyhood team, but also stated that it’s a way to build a profile in the U.K. market which is hard to break Into From the Far East and North America.

    I think more Falkirk fans than you think were well aware of him. Some would have known him personally when he grew up here and others when his name came up on the outside of earlier management vacancies. 

  2. Bit of a bummer that we were ahead but more training sessions won’t do us harm. We should have enough to get a result in the replay.....unless COVID comes in again and the schedule is disrupted more sessions under Rennie and Miller will stand us well IMO. 

    The visibility was very bad, if the linesman can’t see properly does no one any favours - we’d be going off our heads if this caused an error against us by the officials. 

  3. Surely Rennie will be thinking a new captain is needed. But from that lot I genuinely dunno who it should be. If Dixon is fit he’s really the only leader in the team. Miller would be better than Hetherington of course but we’ve been there before. Rest of the squad don’t seem to have mentality for being captain....maybe Rennie can get something out of one of them and step up.

    Hey he may even be able to get Hetherington to kick his arse into gear. Been a complete let down compared to what Alloa fans said we’d be getting.

    I wasn't initially trying to defend him, my last sentence went a bit off that track. He can be sacked for all I care, he's certainly not been a net positive in any way shape or form. But to pretend he's been the cause of our current situation or that the downfall sped up with him is simply insane. That cannot be argued in my opinion.

    Our downfall started when we kept turning over our entire squad for 3 windows straight or when the academy closed, not at some random point in January when Holt came in and, as many of you seem to insist on, changed f**k all.

    f**k off gary

    genuine question, can someone please tell me why he is still in a job? since he arrived our record has been appalling, we have one of our worst squads ever, continue to spiral downwards,  he's negotiated long contracts with players who should have no contracts, he's been arrogant at the last 2 q&as, oh and he gave a contract to his own son.

    genuine question 

    Spineless administrators of the club. Only reason. 
     

    You can literally draw a solid line to the day this arsehole walked in the door and the day it when from awful to worserer.

    True, but you also don’t get the targets you want as the price went up do you?…

    Nah I think the price goes up with demand. If you are offering to pay 1k a week to someone on 800 say, and they are otherwise happy to move they won’t f**k themselves out of 200 a week by being greedy looking for say 1200. They’re either happy with moving on terms we want to pay or not.

    Different dynamic when there are other options which is the card any agent would play anyway. Sorry but my client is being offered 1100 somewhere else has more legs in it than. We know you have money and we want more because of that. 
     

    conversation surely starts with ‘what’s are you looking for to come here’ and it’s up to the club if they wanna play at that level or not.

    Except you can’t do that. Holt will be a member of staff and unless you can sack him for gross misconduct, then you will be making the position redundant, meaning you can’t fill it for 6 months

    Is he a Director of Football? Or a sporting director? Or a Director of Football Operations? Or a Technical Director?

    We could change the role to make it suit our actual intentions - is it to put in place a footballing structure? Manage recruitment and scouting? Set the standard and strategy entirely for the football side? 
     

    Either way empty Holt now, what’s next is next.
