The Falkirk manager job in League 1 should be one that managers are falling over themselves for - the only way is up from 5th in the league (surely?!), a good budget, very good chance of winning the league and as previous teams have shown (Partick, Raith, Abroath) a bit of upward momentum from League 1 can continue on up the Championship, so could be a real springboard for success with Falkirk or someone else eventually. But they must be close to the point where the club is seen as a managerial career killer. By this summer that will be 4 (5 if you count the joint effort) managers in less than 3 years that have been churned out with their career in tatters. Assuming Rennie leaves I'll be very interested to see who they go for. Depending how our season finishes I'll stick an early shout out for Ian Murray.
Thing is..when do we ever do a proper recruitment process? We either tap someone up from elsewhere, or invite applicants then appoint a boys team coach.
I can't believe we don't get applications from real managers for this gig. So why do we never appoint one?
Ian Murray would be a brilliant appointment incidentally. Sadly I fear we'll stick with Rennie. Then have to punt him in December.

Too many new board soldiers on here. Call a spade a spade ffs. Not good enough again!
Yep. Because it's someone's mates that have hired another useless manager they have to polish this turd.
We've likely avoided relegation. Great. Now we need an actual manager not this bumbleclown in the summer.

Sheerin won 3-1 at Clyde with Goodwillie in their side. Every player aside from Ruth and McDaid who started that day is available to Rennie today, plus he's signed 6 others and has Dowds back.
He really is an utter clown...

I fail to see anything about Rennie that inspires confidence. We had this pish at the start 'Finally we have the right man for the job', 'Great appointment' etc. That was based on f**k all really but a total 'cross fingers and hope for the best'.
I totally got that as Sheerin was such a clown it was hard not to feel optimistic at any other appointment.
But at what point does the Emperor's New Clothes pish disappear? Is it that we just keep repeating that Rennie is doing well and hope that no one doesn't buy it? He's clueless.

. I've more confidence in Rennie than any of his predecessors since Houston,
Based on what exactly?
Hartley and McKinnon had far better pedigrees than Rennie for example.

'Coveted' playoff spot...hmm
Very much a mixed bag with that statement. Overall positive with some really welcome updates and some nonsensical turd polishing.
Have to think though that if we start next season with Rennie still here we're fucked. Not sure they understand that

Griffith's has taken the corners at Celtic for years so why the feck has it taken so long to get him on ours?
Rennie's a clown

Can't believe we cheered at full time, aye, we won - but very unreservedly! Against a team adrift at the bottom of the league we struggled to create anything, how can this be cheered? We were an absolute gang and only an extremely soft penalty made the score seem flattering!
Another hilarious performance. Absolutely fucking woeful. How we've taken 4 points from these 2 games is one for Fox Mulder.

fair play to Rennie for keeping him when it would have been easy to let him stay at Arbroath.
Why is Rennie getting credit here? Dowds was clearly better than anything we had, had no choice but to come back, had been scoring goals at a much higher level and was like a free bonus signing.
No manager on earth would have turned that down

I think they should act now, get someone in to assess the current squad as soon as possible and clears the decks ahead of next season. The coming season is one in which the club has to go up. We all have our own thoughts on who the Manager should be or who we would like to see at the club but for me I'd go for Jack Ross..... I see no point in persisting with current experiment till the end of season. What's to be gained from that!
Hahahaha... Jack Ross. f**k me man.

The Rennie appointment always looked bizarre. I said at the time it looked massively dubious. I could see the sense though..it was something different, he was available, knew the club and was happy taking a short term contract - plus seemed like a nice enough guy. Could have worked out.
It's clear though that he has to go at the end of the season. I reckoned a couple of games ago he should get another window but that would be lunacy.
The new manager search starts from tomorrow.

What's certainly the case is that Martin better improve when he's Aberdeen manager.

We're actually funny as f**k to watch. Genuinely entertaining in a clueless random Sunday amateur way.

Lewis - 'Well Martin, losing an early goal always makes things tough. Bit of an uphill struggle from then on. Are you pleased with the way the lads battled back?'

This has been an absolute horror show, we are such a poor side. We honestly can’t string two passes together. I’m struggling to see any improvement under Rennie.
I've been trying to kid myself it's marginally better than under Cones. It really isn't.
This is stab yourself in the eyes stuff. We are getting worse each game under Rennie.

Anyone who is saying the manager can’t do anything due to the mess he’s been left (or words to that effect) look at Imrie at Morton. Arguably a team heading towards bottom of the league until he came in. Instant results with a bang average squad.
Spot on. Its been done 100 times before. I hoped Rennie would have done much better even with this shit squad.
Don't blame the board for that gamble though. We needed to get someone in fast, who wanted the job and who might do us a turn.
It hasn't worked out so far. Maybe he'll turn it round.

4th is still possible but anyone saying anything better is either drunk or stupid.
I don't think it is. AGPar gave the stats. To be 4th we'd need to beat a couple of the competent sides. We are nowhere near being capable of that.
Was surprised how many fans seemed to be impressed by Rennie based on absolutely nothing early on.
'I like the way he talks'.. 'he erm went to school here '.. 'He's been to America, and not just Disneyland'
If he keeps us up and performances show some improvement I'd give him til Christmas but wouldn't shed a tear if he was emptied. We need a lot better than Rennie in charge imo.

He already is though. He’s not got any idea how to change a game and his refusal to change from this formation and style of play that’s not working at all is both infuriating and baffling.
I want to like Rennie. But he’s shown nothing so far that suggests a good football manager. Certain players that are undroppable, same boring and slow style of football each week, refusal to change formation and inability to change a game. Could very easily be talking about Sheerin with that list.Not only are certain players undroppable but he actually dropped Kabia after looking by far our best player the previous game. Baffling.

The wheelbarrow laden 12 man Aberdeen scouting team just primed to prise Rennie away on a 10-year contract may have left disappointed
