Lang and Campbell had their faults but at least they had the balls to get rid of an underperforming manager. We could be sitting 5th next season in January and Ritchie and Co wouldn't act. We really are fucked if we don't get taken over now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selfassemblyshire Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Looking in from the outside it seems pretty grim. As much as we all have a laugh about things it's no good to watch people destroy your club. I've seen the statement last week and that's really not how you try to intice boycotting fans to buy a season ticket.I'm not convinced that Falkirk will bounce straight back up. Is there a plan in place if that happens? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 McKinnon is absolutely the bottom of the pile of our worries right now. Our fans do my nut in. I agree totally. To be honest I have no thoughts about changing the manager. My thoughts are totally focused on the damage this mob are doing to our club. I have real concerns regarding who they are negotiating with and the motives behind them wanting to buy Falkirk.I would be an extremely happy boy if they would just sell to the fans and f**k off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fans do my nut in. Bad example I used. I was more meaning if we are stuck with the same regime ( owners) and we are 5th in the league then they won't act, they will be happy ticking along hoping to scrape 4th and get in the play offs, basically showing no ambition at all. I'll admit I'm not McKinnon's biggest fan but he will at least know who he wants to sign right now and is just waiting on the green light ( well I bloody hope so anyway ).

Russ Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I can’t help thinking that if we had signed Scott Macdonald (and he was training with us) instead of Patrick we would have stayed up . Signing policy has been horrendous for years now .can hardly think of a decent player we signed . Best players were academy graduates or guys like Leah and vaulks who were already with us. Not counting loaners who has been our best signing in the last 3 years? Mark Kerr So Mark Kerr was signed in January 2015 so can’t be him. Looking back at our permanent signings for the last 3 years it’s genuinely fucking terrible. I’d say the best 3 would probably be Jordan McGhee, Louis Longridge and Tommy Robson. Btw the list as far as I can tell is: Fraser AirdJames CraigenLuca GasparottoLewis KiddJoe McKeeJohn RankinRobbie ThomsonConrad BalatoniAlex HarrisRory LoyJordan McGheeLouis LongridgeDavid MitchellRobbie MutchTommy RobsonSean WelshPatrick BroughPrince BuabenTom DallisonPaul DixonMustapha DumbuyaWilliam EdjengueleLeo FasanDimitris FroxyliasRees GreenwoodScott HarrisonDennon LewisRoss MacLeanDylan MackinCiaran McKennaIan McShaneAbdul OsmanTom Owen-EvansDeimantas PetraviciusTommy RobsonMarc RussellNikolay TodorovPaul Paton That really is some pile of absolute dross there.

Guest Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Having a quick flick through the other club’s forums here, and it’s refreshing to see them all discussing signings for the coming season with virtually no mention of us at all. Go to the Championship forum, and it’s all about the Dundee rivalry (and rightly so), Dunfermline, and the achingly needy Morten who spend more time frothing at the mouth about us rather than anything about their own club. I guess the L1 forums can bide their time, and wait to see just how bad we are before piling in. One thing is for sure, if Raith Rovers don’t see this as their best chance to finish above us in a long long time, then they are really screwed. The bad bit is, that from where we are now, “finishing above Falkirk” probably won’t mean “winning the title”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 The way things are looking i think mid table is optimistic for us, even new ownership is a worry for us at the moment as we dont know the agenda behind it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest. We are going to have all the shit left to sign as we have left it late again. We will be awful again this season. Imagine how negatives tactics will be when he has really crap players ?? It will be awful to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkirkLad Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Fully appreciate the shit going on at board level but are people really naive enough to think McKinnon has been sitting in the house for the last 3/4 weeks with his thumb up his arse? Players will be signed but they aren’t gonna announce f**k all until the bigger issues are sorted out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 My only hope and it's a long shot is that McKinnon has agreements in place with decent players to sign once this sorry state of affairs is sorted. Me thinks I am clutching at straws though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Any danger the new owners might dump Ray? If I was coming in I’m not sure I’d want to keep they guy who took you down. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
