I don't think there's anyone who thinks it's a realistica appointment. Just that it would show a great bit of ambition by the BOD to even talk to him. The worst that can happen is that he says no. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only ones I fancy off that list is Darren Young or Dick Campbell... Although didn't Hopkin do ok with Livi?? We need to be bold to get us back in the limelight... it would be great to get Ross or even approach Shelley Kerr? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’d hope one of the things the new board would do would be to approach Dave Mac and offer him a proper deal. For someone who down so much for the club as a volunteer he should be a paid employee. He would have been hurting just as much as us watching that dogshit on Saturday. Falkirk FC been the kind of place where there are lots of people doing great work for free and who should actually be getting paid, offset by a load of hangers on getting paid very well and achieving nowt.

Fair points raised but the club should try to speak to him. Not to do so would reflect badly on the new board. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSG GTF! Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 F*ck it, if we’re seriously suggesting that we talk to Jack Ross, then let’s also make sure we’re considering Derek McInnes and Craig Levein as well. All three are as ludicrously unlikely as each other but are on a completely different level to the horseshit appearing on that McBookie list. We absolutely have to aim higher than that. If money is available in January, I hope it’s put towards a new manager. Over the past few seasons we’ve had squads that, certainly on paper, should be capable of achieving much more than they have done. I include the current crop in that. Unfortunately our last three managers simply haven't been good enough to get the best out of these squads. I’m not convinced being a League 1 Club will automatically be a stumbling block for some. If the package is right, any manager worth their salt will have the belief that they can turn our fortunes around fairly quickly and in doing so, raise their own profile. The next appointment should tell us just how serious the Club is about getting out of this league and furthermore, back to the top flight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a deal until 2024 so unlikely that hibs have just paid all that off at once so may he hang around and wait for a Motherwell/St Johnstone while still being paid by hibs but worth making the call. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 All we are asking is that the board speak to him nothing more. Do not rule out any options. We'd have never got Simon Stainrod to go from the south of France to Falkirk if we hadn't asked the question because people felt it would never happen. Worst that happens he says no and we move on to someone else. I'm not going to attack the board for him saying no but I'd be disappointed if he never got the chance to say no. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Jack Ross to Falkirk makes sense for all parties considered here. Surprised there’s nothing on McBookie for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Why is Holt still here? If he is genuinely off sick they probably cannot discuss redundancy/termination with him until he returns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatthewM02 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Hi, I am a journalist studying at City of Glasgow College and have done a piece on potential candidates for the next Falkirk manager. Thought I’d pop it on here incase you would be interested in a wee read. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Sheerin and Holts wage combined wouldn’t have been a million miles off what Ross will be on at Hibs! I would imagine that Ross would have been on c£150000 at Hibs. Pure conjecture on my part of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
