The only slightly contentious thing was he said he didn’t apply for the role. I got the feeling he was a dirty, smelly, wee tramp and that was enough for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPM Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 (edited) 25 minutes ago, Springfield said: Going by some of the recents posts, some people obviously thought differently. Eh no. Don’t deflect from a simple challenge to your view that a tame interview told you he wasn’t suitable for a job. No Falkirk fan in their right mind has anything but contempt for Hartley now but he was not alone in bringing us to the verge of collapse. From the outside there was little wrong with his hiring at the time looking at his track record. The blame should lie in the people who recruited him. Did they check out his people skills ? Clearly not. They then hatched the Brentford model and we say the way that went. Edited March 8 by BPM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggerG Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 2 hours ago, Springfield said: “Didn’t apply for the position” That was true though, and I didn't think there was anything arrogant in the way he said it either. He was asked the question after all. I think most folk were quite excited about him coming in at that point, what transpired though was a completely different story. As someone said before, it wasn't so much his poor management of the team that scunnered me, more the way he treated people. He turned out to be an arrogant, ignorant, abusive little shit. Funnily enough, he seems to be a little more humble in his interviews now. Maybe he's learned a lesson? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread has become pretty stale whilst the match threads are much more interesting lately. Come the annual P&B shuffle can I express a desire to leave 13 years of division, belligerence and petty arguments behind and start The Falkirk FC thread anew.

Put some cover on that and make it safe standing and you have a good stand for watching training, youth games and womens games and mens football and if it’s safe standing the ultras can go in there if they want to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proudtobeabairn Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 18 hours ago, PedroMoutinho said: Clearly any talk of a rebuild is nonsense- we have the basis of a good side for next season. However, it will be a step up and we will require additional quality in a number of positions imo. Long, McKay, McGinn and Lawal will be leaving. Personally I also wouldn’t be retaining Mackie, Oliver or Shanley and would look to move Allan on. We will then need imo a GK, RB, CB, LB, CM (possibly Tait), no 10 and ST. I would consider offering Ross a deal but would want to see a lot more from him first. Agree with this. I think Tait has shown enough now and would keep him if isn't disruptive. Ross was apparently on very good money at Raith. Would like to see him play a few games in the 10 role instead of Nesbitt to see how he gets on there. The others absolutely must go for me to free up space for better 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
