Michael W Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 1 minute ago, Been going too long said: Agreed but he will be aware some of our support wanted him gone as well , no one could answer who they think we could realistically get to replace him so guess what we better fucking come up with an answer soon He's been given nothing but support at matches, though. Wouldn't be surprised if Falkirk can offer a better playing budget. Despite what one may think facing another season in league one, the club is financially healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offshore Rover Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Fear of possible further backlash from some fans and the added bonus of extra money, but if a no brainer for JMcG to move on. Hope he stays tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predictable to see the cancel mob on here starting to greet now they realise what they're losing. Which part of the criticism was unwarranted? 1. He signed a sex offended or 2. He won 1 game in 14. They both seem worthy of criticism for a manager. Perhaps if we’d played Goodwillie he’d have stayed. If he wins 1 game in 14 at Falkirk he’ll not be criticized he’ll be unemployed. With the exception of Social Media which I doubt he reads he didn’t get much stick at games over either. Don’t recall any chants for his head at games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t seem to be one of your scenarios. McGlynn didn't come to Rovers for money; that doesn't seem to have registered with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 The financial offer he’s got from Falkirk will be sizeably bigger and it’s a chance to have a clean break after last season. That being said, you don’t imagine McGlynn has many years left before retirement, 5 max? He’s spent the last five years at us building a squad year on year. Falkirk are a basket case club where he could easily be out on his ear within 6 months if it doesn’t go well. All round fucking pish, but what can you do? Be keen to see if he can turn Brad McKay into a passable League 1 centre half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Oaft, what a day. Just catching up on this. Not a done deal yet but looking very likely. Based on the 2nd half of our season, McGlynn is taking a big risk moving to Falkirk. His signings are not always great and I would imagine that if he doesn't get off to a good start he will not get the same time from the Falkirk fans as he got here to build his squad. Yes we have played some nice football and he has moved the club on from the Barry Smith era but we have just shitfested our way to 3 wins in 20 games playing some really shite stuff. We also made the worst 2 signings in Scottish football history this season in Goodwillie and Keatings. I would be reluctant for us to offer a big wage increase and a 3 year deal to him so if Falkirk are then fair fucks. The fact that no club higher than us is interested speaks volumes. Falkirk taking a risk here too, we had a five year plan for premier league football too and we are nowhere near it. They key now is how we replace. McPake would be a disaster, he isn't what we are looking for. I think it needs to be a relatively new manager with good Rovers connections/ history. Someone with an affinity with the fans. Prime candidate in my head would be someone like Laurie Ellis or Danny Lennon. Maybe doesn't create a huge amount of excitement but would much prefer this to some fucking jobber that has been around the houses with no Rovers connection at all. Never a dull moment doon the old san starko. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d disagree with you on that, if I was to speculate I’d think the biggest reason is he was thrown under the bus by the board over the Goodwillie saga while they hid. He possibly also wants to move to distance himself from the whole affair as it’ll stick around for the next few years. The extra cash will be a bonus but I’d be surprised if that or the fans are the reason. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Christophe Berra has a LinkedIn page and he doesn’t note his primary school under Education, so that’s an improvement on Gary Locke. Edited May 2, 2022 by Scary Bear 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d take Laurie because he’s a lovely, lovely guy and loves the Rovers. Don’t care that it didn’t work at Queen’s Park. I’d take him over the likes of McPake all day. Lennon I’m less sold on, probably want to get away from DG associations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I'll be very surprised if McGlynn goes to Falkirk. If it does transpire, I'd much rather see Berra get the job than some managerial roundabout rider. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweaty Morph Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Who was it on here that said he hopes Rovers get the manager they deserve if McGlynn goes? He's bound to be rubbing his hands just now, especially if the McPake thing is true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithie Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 So we have Sim saying in 'that' article that he hoped McGlynn would stay and McGlynn telling a punter at the POTY do that if he'd have been offered a new deal he'd have signed it by now. If this comes down to the board dragging their heels then that's incredibly frustrating and I hope they have some contingency plan... preferably a plan that doesn't involve James McPake or the good majority of names listed above. Wouldn't mind Paul Smith taking over if he was keen to stay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
