Gaz FFC Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 If it is Houston, this is a massive turnaround from the Holt appointment. I never read a single person saying Holts name even getting an interview. Houston seems to be some badly kept secret. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

distresseduke Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Lets hear your argument against then...you can only treat people as you find them ... I don't give famous people a sore head but you would think a falkirk supporter in POS would be worth 2 minutes of his time just so I could big him up ....tell me about all the times you've met him and how he had time to talk to you.. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDust Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Personally feel Houstie is best we can get...... unless we throw a double six with an untried manager...... I actually liked Holt, after years of Elvis tactics of playing for draws, it was refreshing to see us going to attack and try to win games, even though some of the times we were very gung-ho, Id still rather see us go out to win games especially in a league where we shouldnt fear anyone Still no feeling 100% that Houstie will get the job, just never know with our board....tho altho they seem to have the message that the fans dont want a promotion from within the club, ala Eddie May, Elvis........ We really have had a strange time with manager appointments, really would have to go back to McCall for when the majority of fans were happy with an appointment 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobBairn1876 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Dunno if any of you have had a look at this yet. Good read but some of the names mentioned in it are absolutely terrifying.

18BAIRN76 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Houstie would be exactly the kind of appointment I reckon would get a number of fans excited and back onside again - which means he probably won't get it. Call me a pessimist, but our board now have a track record of incredibly underwhelming managerial appointments and I can't help but thinking this trend will only continue this time round. Holt was one of the most baffling and unexciting appointments they could have made - he did okay, but I do think a decent manager with at least some experience would have known how to win the league last season and with that squad would have done so, so for me, Holt's spell can be summed up as "a huge chance missed". This time around, we know we won't win the league this season, and this could allow us to actually build a team with some patience from the fans that could put in a title challenge the following season. I just think we need an experienced manager with a previous record to do that, though. Edited June 7, 2014 by 18BAIRN76 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already had the guy who scored the goal play with us so all we need is the captain (Mongomery) to complete the set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonBairn Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Apart from Eddie May, who was up against it from the start, has the board really failed to appoint a new manager since the Bannon days Say what you want about Pressley but the fact is he done a good job for us. A lot of Pressleys work is now coming to fruition with the likes of McGrandles, Sibbald, Kingsley etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you not maybe just think they have differing opinions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 As an outsider, I'd say Holt did alright, but either of Falkirk or Hamilton would not have needed to be a lot better to have won it, so I can see why it feels like a chance was missed. Houston would not excite me. He's had decent managerial spells in his career, but he always strikes me as a bit of a balloon when he speaks. I'd also worry that he shows too much respect to the 'big' teams in the division. He still sounds like a better bet to me than Latapy though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
