I think anyone hoping for him to get the boot will be disappointed even if we do lose again on Saturday. Equally, he wouldn’t have been told it’s ok to deliver one of the worst performances in living memory. He isn’t building anything. Just burning cash and delivering nothing. I just think the message of “buy your STs and give John and Paul as much money as possible” is going to fall on a lot of deaf ears this time around.

Lots of people saying it will be a weaker league next season. I don’t think it will ever be weak enough for McGlynn to win it outright. Dunfermline will be re-imagined as Hamilton or Airdrie or QotS or Cove. Keeping him will result in failure…..of that I have no doubt. It’s down to the BoD, and for now, theirs is the only opinion that matters, and I am sure they are all big enough lads who will stand or fall by their collective decision. They will be well enough aware of the potential implications of keeping him. I don’t see last night’s total abdication being forgotten while the manager remains at the club. On a single game basis, it’s easily in the bottom six of the past 40 years…..and it was in L1. For many, it will be the worst they have ever seen. Got to be number one . Any other shockers in the last 40 years have at least been in the top two leagues. Queens Park 6-0, I hear ya, but with so much at stake, it’s got to be number one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll make a calculation that fans will still renew their ST in decent numbers (which I agree with them on) and justify it by pointing to the improvement in league position, cup semi-final etc. Not saying I agree with it but that’s what I believe will happen, even if we lose heavily again on Saturday. And that is very much why we are where we are. Although I do feel McGlynn will have got told get us up this season by any means possible, and I think the two year deal he got was banking on us being in the championship next season. If it was to have two stabs at getting out of league 1 with the buffer of the second year then that's just utter gash and not good enough tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 4 minutes ago, Duncan Freemason said: Good luck to them if that’s the plan. It’s L1……he has been backed like no other……a budget equalling the previous season, and then another sizeable six figure injection in January……..and last night showed what he had done with the money. He has effectively collected players rather than build a team. It’s pretty much a reflection of his entire career. If the BOD are going to back this failure, it puts them in the Deans & Co camp 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive approach, not a negative hostile atmosphere That's all we've been missing and if only we'd backed them more last night ... or at East End ... or at Hampden Perhaps we should all hold hands and align chakras too! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ecosse83 Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Mcglynn will be our manager next season, the board will look at the big picture and say overall we have improved under him (which we have tbf). I think we can do better though and after last night would now like to see him replaced. I for one won’t be renewing my season ticket unless there is a positive change that excites me but that won’t happen unfortunately. In all fairness I was thinking about going PATG next season anyway so it’s an easy decision for me to make! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked miles in front of us last night, an actual fast cohesive team with players who were all very good in their positions, goalie apart for getting sent off, this is what is wrong aswell the equation from being mid table in a dugshite league previously to being in the playoffs in league 1 that we will be out of come 4.50 on Saturday. That is not success it's failure. Folk are happy to accept mediocrity and it's absolutely rife at our club. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it was to finish fourth or fifth then it's hardly a go on the big dipper is it. Can you imagine the state of this thread if that was the case. I'll admit he did well to get rid of most of the dross but he's also had a decent budget. A budget that never got us near Dunfermline and also one that got us absolutely bodied off Airdrie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegetableman Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Time to rename the FS if you ask me J Mc Glynn and the "temple of doom " sounds good If we do get past Hamilton , Airdrie will be firm favourites I really thought you lot would make it this year fair chance we will be back i will wear my Indiana jones hat if we have to return See ya's ( mibbe ) . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooter McGavin Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 57 minutes ago, Bairnschild said: I cannot disagree with you. Think where we were last and the previous year. Failed to make playoffs with soft good guy managers. This year, we make it to Hampden, play offs, so a vast improvement with same players and a few additions. The numpties love a moan. Too many lefty SNP voters. Get behind the team, we will overturn this deficit. Positive approach, not a negative hostile atmosphere Love your optimism. Your team will need to stop us scoring whilst hunting at least 4 goals themselves. You haven't kept any clean sheets against us all season, it's currently 14-8 to Airdrie on aggregate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boss at work is an Accies fan and he said they haven't scored a league goal from open play in 14 games. I haven't checked the stats but if that's true you've a decent chance of making the final. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going into administration and just stealing the licence of another club. If I was an Airdrie fan at that time I wouldn't have set foot back in the place. Then you’d have saved yourself a lot of heartache. And missed out on a lot of fun. But ultimately, you’d have made no difference to those who did set foot in the place again and have suffered a lot of heartache and had a lot of fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A budget that never got us near Dunfermline and also one that got us absolutely bodied off Airdrie. The majority on here were looking for progress and a playoff spot last June so I doubt many of us would've been up in arms if we'd been told that was what the bod were also looking for back then. I don't think anyone saw playoffs and getting scudded 6 2 by Airdrie which is quite rightly unacceptable but as I said as far as I'm aware promotion was never the be all and end all and if you don't get us up your fired . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
