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. Agree. Though imho Lang was more to blame on this specific and calamitous issue. GC was a banker and ML a solicitor so it was it was outrageous that ML didn't give McKInnons GMFC contract a once over - or get another solicitor to do so. Any half decent NQ or even a trainee solicitor would have spotted that it was a fixed term contract that didnt allow McKinnon to walk away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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’. That's this thread for you. A few weeks ago it was "why would he ever come here", now it's a "done deal". No chance we've done any more than simply signal our intentions to him, given the McKinnon debacle, and no chance Murray has given it more than a moment's thought, given he's gearing up for playoffs with a real chance of getting through them this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 John Hughes would be a terrible appointmentHowever, it is exactly the kind of appointment a board made up of old Falkirk fans trying to bring back the glory days would make.Airdrie have played some of the best football I've seen over the last couple of seasons so if they don't go up and Murray fancies a new challenge after 2 failed play off attempts, I'd be happy with him.Wishful thinking probably. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think we are suffering a hangover from the glory days of the early to mid 90s, what with the scuppered promotions then the false dawns of a completed stadium and now the decline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’ve more or less hit the nail on the head. Initial contact was made with Murray indicating he wasn’t prepared to discuss anything until the play offs were concluded, I also don’t think he was offered the job outright either with Falkirk also speaking to one other candidate who is currently out of work. Having said this I’m told Murray is indeed very very interested in the job. Edited April 28, 2022 by LatapyBairn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishful thinking probably. Agree, Yogi was a great servant, and had a decent stint as manager. However don’t want him anywhere near the club. Airdrie are by far the best footballing side in this division in my opinion, maybe just lacked a very good CF (like most teams) -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I appreciate your reply. However. I don't normally like ITK posts but they are better than 1/2 an ITK post. It's a bit like the old joke: Q what's worse than finding a maggot in an apple that you're eating? A Finding 1/2 a maggot.

No offence. I take everything I read on here with a pinch of salt regardless of how “factual” the post claims to be. I do enjoy reading the various snippets of info and rumour (it passes the time) but until something is made official most of the time I’ll treat it as merely rumour or bullshit depending on the poster. I think some on here happily post things as “facts” when in reality it’s something they’ve been told Chinese whisper style by a friends aunties 2nd cousin. Its simpler just to say where the info came from and let people make they're own minds up on how much weight they think the info holds.

Charlie Telfer got the POY from the Junior Bairns and that was the only award given to a first team player. Not quite.

Literally the only person suggesting it is a done deal is an Airdrie fan. Also, it is not as if Airdrie have the ceiling Falkirk have, say you go up will you survive for long? Could see him perhaps waiting another year getting us out since he is quite young and would have much better resources and chances in champ. FWIW, I think it will be Ian Murray or John McGlynn.
