Too many issues in both counts You keep banging on about Rice’s baggage, it’s utter nonsense! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver The Bairn Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Incredibly wishful thinking but I'd combine Holt's salary, Sheerin's salary and some of the January transfer budget to go and get McInnes. He has done it in the lower leagues of Scottish Football previously with St. Johnstone and in my opinion has an eye for a player and incredibly, tactics. Would send a massive statement (sorry) of intent. Could build in clauses that mean he would be free to speak/move to a bigger club if they came in. This event would indicate that he was doing well with us at that time and we had some sort of building blocks in place for success. I realise that I am probably deluded with this comment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 All we need now is some good news on the management and player front. Personally, I haven’t any great ideas other than I still maintain that the signing of Goodwillie, if possible, would be fantastic.This would be peak Falkirk to finally have some good news and some light at the end of the tunnel to then sign this disgusting rapist.It would not at all be fantastic to sign him. I’d rather we spent the next 10 years down here than hero worship a piece of shit like Goodwillie to get promoted. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making it easy for him to move on Is hardly encouraging any stability that we desperately need nor likely to move us forward for very long. We need to start winning. If we did that, got out of this league and he moved on, we'd be a much more appealing job for better managers than we are currently being linked with. Even a "stable" manager would leave for a bigger club if he was successful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 So am I right in saying that Colin McFarlane and the two Gordons (Wright and Colborn) were hand picked by Deans in August 2020 to join the board because, in his view, the head count was too small? Reading between the lines it sounds like the chairman just hiring his mates on to the board to increase his own influence. Deans, Colborn and McFarlane have thankfully all resigned now. Any word on Wright going too? First priority should be Holt out but I’d also prefer that the last remaining member of the Gary Deans led faction is also chased out the door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely don’t know so need you to fill me in. 10k fine for breach of SFA rules on gambling fine for misconduct 10 game ban for gambling and say he does have a relapse then what we are back to square one as mentioned i genuinely have nothing against Rice but its wrong appointment wrong time if it was, as he hasnt done anything that stands out other than been in a constant relegation battle to keep accies in the premiership which ended up in failure. Other than he knows what it means to be a Bairn and knows the club and what the fans want, I just dont see it and i dont think he could change it in the timescale we want/expect. Saying that the state we are in we need a start somewhere and it might be the gamble (pardon the pun we need). Its a project for any manager what Holt has saddled us with to sort out. i dont see anyone willing to work under Holt Edited December 7, 2021 by AL-FFC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 There's a fucking world of difference between David Goodwillie and Brian Rice lads, for f**k sake. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
