brokeville Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 We have a sporting director, who hasnt, as yet, re discovered the gift of shame. Its absolutely his call to make. The idea of him sorting the replacement tho [emoji85]Sporting Director who’s not on the Board. Doubt very much he has the remit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I think Sheerin's time is up but I can't see where the cash is coming from to pay him off. We had the chance to really kick on but, predictably, completely blew it. Too many tanner baw players in the squad. Morrison, McGuffie, McDaid, Nesbitt, Ross, Telfer, Weekes, Ruth, all too similar while we've got nothing different to change things. The Montrose centre backs would have had a more uncomfortable afternoon if I had been playing against them. Ruth rarely challenged them and was often on his arse. My Granny would have done better and they're baith deed! Montrose thoroughly merited their win and I think they could be challenging if they can find some consistency. Free hit next week where he's surely got to try something different. Got to bring in Williamson, Krasniqi and Keena and play a back three. Won't happen though. darth.mp4 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPar Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 48 minutes ago, Russ said: Paul Sheerin absolutely can’t be left in charge any longer. He’s been given the biggest budget in the league and we are absolutely dugshite. He’s been an absolute failure in any way you want to measure his performance to date and he’s got a losers mentality. Just because we’ve sacked managers in the past (btw our last 3 managers that we sacked was absolutely justified and completely because they were not good enough) and we’ve then appointed someone worse does not mean that we should stick with someone wholly incompetent and not fit for purpose. The idea that we need to give him time for continuity sake regardless of performance is a fucking nonsense. The old "we've appointed, and subsequently sacked, a few numpties in the recent past, therefore, in order not to further embellish our "hire and fire reputation", we need to stick with the current incumbent, even though he is an even bigger diddy than those who came previously and is dragging us down ever lower" An utterly ludicrous argument, so no surprise to see who is advancing it. It can safely be filed in the bin. McKinnon was sacked exactly two years ago. His league record was P14 W6 D5 L3 GD +16 Pts 23. Diddy Sheerin stands at P15 W6 D4 L5 GD +3 Pts 22. A not too dissimilar record, although the current GD tells the story of how chronically bad we now are up front. At this level, five league defeats in fifteen is a sackable offence. Four home defeats by mid-November is a sackable offence. Five points from a possible eighteen against the top four sides in the league is a sackable offence. Widen that out to include Alloa, who would have aspirations of at least a play-off place, and we've taken six points from a possible twenty-four. The other sixteen points have come against the bottom four teams. This is beyond dire on every level. Death by a thousand cuts. Woeful, indefensible stuff. Never mind promotion, we are not even making the play-offs under this clown. He is hopeless. The only hope - and probably a forlorn one - is that the imminent deserting of the sinking ship by at least some of the rats precipitates a years-overdue change in ownership which in turn precipitates the immediate sweeping away of the likes of Holt and Sheerin and the appointment of an actual football manager. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18BAIRN76 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Keeping a pish manager who is out of his depth, simply in order to 'maintain consistency', is actually highly representative of the fucking lunacy we've become accustomed to hearing from vast swathes of the Falkirk support over the last number of years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utterly humiliating reading for all us Falkirk lifers, but spot on. I wish you never had to say it, but well said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah tbh I didnt think a business can be left totally rudderless, there has to be some mechanism by which we can bullet this utter failed experiment of a manager. Regardless of who signs the letter, Holt should be telling them to get rid or his is, once again, proving his complete and total inconpetence in the role Fucking p***k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No as far as I'm aware that is the plan if the new guys get in with their investment. Have a core set of full time players on better wages and then have a number of part time players cherry picked from other clubs. Increases your options by quite a bit . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
