Guest Ecosse83 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 What a relief that season is over, I always maintained that if Rennie was kept on I wouldn’t be back next season. I’m back into the pre season mood of hopeful optimism already. Looking forward to see who we appoint next and what that manager does with the playing squad. Season ticket money is already put to the side Our managers have always been well enough backed and a decent manager would have had us up at the first go in this league regardless of who the board are/were. Unfortunately the old board consistently got their most important decision horrendously wrong in appointing shit manager after shit manager! Appoint a decent manager and sign some ok players and the fans will return next season, that’s just how it works! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proudtobeabairn Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Apparently the rumours are true and we've offered McGlynn a deal on more than he's getting now at Raith. His decision will come down to whether Raith are prepared to match it next week. Wait and see I guess - personally I'd rather we got Murray or Wright. I've never taken to McGlynn and don't think many Raith fans would be disappointed if he left, a feeling that he's gone as far as he can with them combined with the DGW saga. That said, he's probably got enough about him to improve us and saw signings like Berra, Armstrong, Gullan, Hendry etc when we were signing the likes of Joe McKee and Seb Ross so at least that's something. I think he's an appointment that would need a quick bounce as I think a fair few share my view that he's an unlikeable character.

He'll be elsewhere next season whether it's us or not who knows. Not sure about the unlikeable guy as I don't know him from Adam but he seems to get his team's playing for him and that's the main thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be as ‘unlikeable’ as he wants, as long as he knows how to get us out of this mess in which we find ourselves. He’s exactly the kind of manager we need at this time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has shown he can also compete in the championship. Ticks all the boxes for me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have said before either the Board leaks like a sieve or the forum's got bullshitters. How can the board be credible in the eyes of the support when certain individuals give the lowdown to all and sundry on what's going on. If it is true them McGlynn will be far from impressed and rightly so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never liked McGlynn but hugely respected him- but I am an EF supporter! Raith were a basket case post Hughes when he took over them in league 1. We were beating them often and he has improved them significantly. He gets them promoted, next season they get to the championship play- offs and this year he just misses out despite horrendous injuries! He has the ability to get good loan signings and they play attractive football. Now clearly some fans have problems re the DGW situation, others believe the responsibility lies with the Board. All i can say he is a good manager,and if you get the chance to sign him grab it. He is clearly better than anything you have had of late- but he will need the time to make the changes and will Falkirk fans give him the time? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose it does not effect his ability to manage a football team but for anybody not wanting McGlynn simply because he has one of those abrasive personality’s it would surely then equally if not more so put said person off wanting Wright as manager? At least as far as the the likability factor goes based on this anyway. If he engages in such antiquated, backward, borderline bigotry in his spare time it hardly gives the guy a glowing character reference. Looking purely at the CV McGlynn does ticks all the boxes.

knee jerk reaction Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 This is the same Mcglynn that would've lost the league to M&M but for COVID? When did he become super? I get the negativity over the last few seasons, we've been terrible. The idea that it'll take years to turn around though, why should it? Loads of teams have turned around in a season and we still have advantages over most teams in this league. I'd like to know what (as we keep seeing posted on here)will take years to fix behind the scenes that we always hear about? The shop? The hospitality? The website? I'd genuinely like to know. If we get the right manager and some new players to go with and improve some of our squad then what behind the scenes would hold us back, or is this just excuse for the new board set up? And before anyone says, I'm in the FSS, I agree with fan ownership and want everything to be a success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And before anyone says, I'm in the FSS, I agree with fan ownership and want everything to be a success. Agree it COULD be turned around in one season but it would take a fantastic effort with everything having to fall into place very quickly, if you take into account Dunfermline, Kelty, QP and possibly QOTS will all be full time and have similar or larger playing budgets to ours. For us to win the league we need the next manager to be 100% on it from day one, we can’t afford a bad signing or a project type player, we’d also need a bit of luck with moving out players under contract to free up wages and a bit of luck with injuries over the course of the season. I’d say it’s possible to win this league but probably now more on the unlikely side and I certainly no longer have us down as favourites as would have been the case in previous seasons. We may as a group of fans have to try and be patient which is obviously a bitter pill to swallow have already been stuck in this league 3 seasons.

Dawson Park Boy Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 All those rumours about McGlynn, Murray, Wright et al makes for great speculation and debate but I can honestly say I have never heard anything emanating from the new board which has any credibility. In fact, this board appear to be keeping things very tight which is good. Im just happy to wait and see what they’re cooking up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, the old "we were 100% certain to have won the league but for the outbreak of a global pandemic, how unlucky we are" theory. Good to see that getting an airing for about the 2567th time. It's been rebutted every time. Could you explain why a team who had been top of the table for a grand total of 2 weeks of that 19/20 season, and who had failed to beat their main rivals in any of the previous four matches, were guaranteed to have won the league? And please, please, don't bother with the "BuT We hAd THem At HOmE ON ThE finAl DaY" stuff. Our shit-the-bed record in matches of such magnitude is second to none. If you don't rate McGlynn, fine. Come up with a better reason that this complete, total and utter f*****g nonsense. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18BAIRN76 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I personally think that if we’ve sounded him out and he’s indicated he’d be interested, we should wait for Murray. If it doesn’t work out or Airdrie go up, we’ll know in two weeks and a good board would have a back-up/plan B. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
