The best Businessmen are ruthless right voters, Tories.

The majority of supporters at Falkirk appear to fall, sadly into the category of wokeness.

Businessmen are hard working individuals who have made their own way with their own thoughts and ideas.  Those who are employed are followers of the institution they work for.  Those who are unemployed are like blunt pencils (pointless).

John McGlynn is the best manager we've had in the last 10 years

What Have I just read

[Tea and Busquets]

I’m very much in the camp of not getting rid of him, although I wouldn’t be gutted if he went. Every single person on this forum agreed that his signings, bar probably Wright improved us. You could now add Kinnear into that bracket. He said last summer we need more street wise players with a bit of dig and steel. He’s signed Nesbitt again, however he clearly rates him (as does his peers going by the team of the season). He knows where we need to Strengthen and I think he’ll do that again in the summer. I hope to see a fair few leave in the summer ie loan players bar Kennedy, McKay, McGuffie, Hetherington etc. Tuesday was a disgrace and I fully admit he should have changed shape when we went 3-0 down, however at least half of the goals came from players individual mistakes that no manager can compensate from. Give him until October/November and see where we are, because at worst case scenario , I don’t think we’d be far off play offs by then anyway.

The worst thing about our shambolic last two games is that it's brought a new class of shitty trolls to the thread. 

Look forward to the summer.

A quick check says that poster has been around for a while and even knows Bairnardo. 

He's eh, went a bit wild there.

The thing is, most of our supporters appear to have an idea about who / what we should appoint.  I remember shouts to get Yogi out when we were mid table in the Premier.  Then after a couple of seasons against Hibs, Rangers, Hearts in the Championship Houston was next for the crock.

A few bad appointments, and after a bad game against Airdrie, McGlynn is next for the shouting.  The trolls are those fools who have never run a company in their life, and would ultimately fail should they ever grew the balls to do so.  They are weak followers waving the Saltire as if they are real Scottish folk who will ultimately keyboard bully anyone who disagrees with them

Let's be honest, they are thick.

Businesses go through good and bad spells.  McGlynn in my eyes is the right man for the job.  these clowns, who, mostly don't even go to the games are on here spouting!

My point is good businesses are run by good business like minded people, and those people mostly vote the Tories - simple

Bairnardo, I only know about.  Why not ask him about where he was in 2014

Not really getting involved with the whole politics side of things, but I agree with the points made about the current and previous managers.

Not sure what this has to do with having an extremely stubborn manager who refuses to change things until 5-0 down at half time

His signings have improved us if you use last season and last season alone as your metric, which many fans seem to think is the only barometer of success. His signings haven’t improved us anywhere near enough.

He said we need to sign more streetwise players - he’s been backed and has brought in how many of his own players over the course of this season? How many of them would you describe as fitting that description?

Spot the glaring oxymoron here.

I can't be arsed with discussing politics on this thread, but there wouldn't be a Falkirk FC without the supporters pouring their hard earned cash into the club every season. Calling the majority of our fans thick lefties when they're the ones propping this club up season after season is wrong.

[Guest FFC1965]

I though the worst thing about this thread post Tuesday was that we were beginning to sound like Rangers fans re pens and refs but this politics shit takes the digestive.

While I do like Bairnardo as a poster I can't say I'm particularly fussed about what he was doing 9 years ago. 

Unless it's funny in which case he can batter on and tell everyone, he probably doesn't care either though. 

 

I don't get the impression he's a tory so he's probably not your pal.

What this thread was really lacking over the last few days was a healthy dose of right-wing politics.

We've been short of a bit of *something* since the last board accused us of being massive racists.

He doesn't know me. He's tried to impmy he does, feeding in wee made up things over the years, because he's a weirdo psycho type. As evidenced by that stream of drivel post.

Pretty sure that if we somehow turn in a decent ninety in the return play off, McGlynn will be in place for next season. 
Not one word from upstairs on the humiliating defeat and car crash interview would suggest that he’s still got their backing.

Fans certainly split on McGlynn being binned, but for me he’s failed and the thought of guys like Nesbitt being here for another two seasons actually sickens me, and if the BOD think that this two year deal is acceptable, certainly throws up more questions than answers.

The reason why we are still in L1 is down to the players that pull on the jerseys, guys like Nesbitt who was part of a first eleven who downed tools with a half season to play shouldn’t be near the club. I’d have Airdrie’s (and most of the opposition midfielders we face each week) four midfielders before I would play him, another disgraceful performance yet again on Tuesday. 
 

For you he has failed but it will obviously depend on what targets the board set him. If it was progress and minimum play offs this season (going up or not) then they will see that he has progressed. 

I for one have taken time to look back on the other night and the season as a whole. It has been our best, in terms of entertainment since the Houston last full season. It has ultimately been a disappointment in the last 2 weeks due to two really poor performances at critical times and that is what makes it all the more disappointing, frustrating and concerning.

I would imagine all the prep for next seasons squad will already be done. Players identified where we need to strengthen and who is going who is staying. When pre-season starts, friendly dates etc etc will no doubt all be done. A new manager would be starting from scratch - not that it would be impossible to do so - but make the new guys job very difficult. 

On the basis of above I would on reflection keep him but he will have to get us off to a flying start and the ONLY measurement next season is promotion.
