Springfield Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 By no means our worse keeper, however positioning and general reading of the game was poor at times. Didn’t help that he had so many Fannie’s in front of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't tell you if we'll remain fully full-time or what's happening with an Academy though as I would imagine that can only be confirmed once they know what the budget is, which they won't know until they know how many season tickets have been bought. They have to have the numbers for the budget it would be inept if they didn't. For without that no manager will touch us and the club needs a manager in place in the next couple of weeks to sort out the mess they have on their hands. 8 weeks to - Bring in their management team - Move on contracted players not in the plans - New signings - Style of play / fitness. If we muck about for 4-6 weeks with interviews we will be signing the dross nobody else wants again. They must know geez if they dont then we are F****ed -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season isn’t done and you are writing next off before they even appoint someone to sort the mess. You are clearly not a wee boy based on your previous posts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the manager is in post elsewhere they won't be able to announce it till his commitments with his other club have finished. That doesn't mean they haven't discussed things with him. We don't want another McKinnon situation though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 If it is Murray then we are already behind in preparation. We will need to wait to see how Airdrie fare in the playoffs if they go up then I don't see him joining us. Allied to the fact it's imperative we go up asap. He just won't get the time he's had at Airdrie to build a squad capable of challenging not with the amount of dugshite under contract in our squad. He's been jettisoned at St. Mirren before having to start again at a lower level. He must know there's a very good chance it will happen again if he joins us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of his contract situation but if we got Murray as manager I’d want Dylan Easton as number 1 target as long as he’s one of the full time players at Airdrie and doesn’t have a decent job outside football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easton even as a part time player would be a significant upgrade on what we have now. Re Mutch. He does have howlers, but some great saves too. The one thing he deserves credit for is that he actually gives a toss. Edited April 27, 2022 by Duncan Freemason 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made an arse of it with McKinnon by doing it far too obviously. If a manager is going to be out of contract in the summer he's going to make sure he has a job in place.

If the McKinnon truth ever surfaced, it would show that McKinnon tapped up FFC, but of course, with the cranially challenged on our side of things, it was perhaps always destined to end as it did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think he would want full control of any signings so if S Murray is signing (rumoured to be) you would hope your new manager is in on it, if not trouble ahead....(Both are massive hibees and played with the club). I was asking if big Yogi would be on any managerial shortlist...... he could be a quicker turnaround manager than a very methodical baby step improvement manager in I Murray..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"By those actings of Mr Campbell it is clear to us that both Messrs McKinnon (and Taylor) were directly or indirectly induced, or attempted to be induced on behalf of Falkirk FC, without consent of Greenock Morton, to terminate their respective contracts of employment with a view to offering employment by Falkirk FC."" It's CraIg Campbell again. He could not have F*cked us over more if he was an undercover Dunfermline agent. He closed our academy, set us on a downward spiral of never ending jobbers with his shit Brentford Model, threatened to sue fans over copyright of the badge (which we didn't own), got us fined for tapping up a useless manager who was a total failure , accused us all of being racists, alleged he'd had death threats from fans.......etc etc. He's the single biggest enemy in our history.....not Hartley, not Deans, not George Craig - no one else did more damage in such a short period of time. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thediamonddude Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Not sure where the idea that Ian Murray is a done deal is coming from - given the kind of individual he seems to be, I’d imagine he’d have flat out told Falkirk he wouldn’t discuss anything until after the playoffs. Not saying they won’t have sounded him out, but that doesn’t mean he’s spoken to them about the role in any detail. As things stand, he’s got a very good chance of managing a group of his own players, that he’s put together himself and has fostered a great spirit in over years, in the Championship. And, even if we don’t make it through the playoffs, whose to say the board won’t throw everything at it to keep the squad together? Ludicrous to suggest this is anywhere near ‘done’. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
