He'd be joining a club who are comfortably the worst in a division, with no momentum. It would be a disastrous move for all involved IMO. We weren’t “comfortably the best team in the division” when Mcglynn took over, no where near it in fact! The run we are on now is 100% down to the change of manager improving the recruitment, the style of play and the big thing for me is how he’s turned players who many would have hounded out of the club into now first names on the team sheet fan favourite type players.

You signed Championship level players in League One. Folk like Brad Spencer should never have been at that level. Signing players far too good for the division isn't something he could do with us, and not for months even if he could. We could give him years to rebuild but there's nothing on his CV to suggest it would be worth giving him that responsibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulk of those players i am pretty sure had track record for being injury prone (lang as an example) Ross another one that had an injury problem at Raith and pretty sure it was mentioned Spencer as well not to mention a McGinn that was coming to the end of his career. plus all those signings we havent done a Livvy/Dundee or Accies where it would put the club at risk from administrators As for the rebuild job he did say it owuld take 2 yrs as he had been hamstrung with players from previous season/s.

Last season in league 1 our average home attendance was 4,750, 99% of whom were Falkirk supporters. Your average home attendance last season was 4,663, this figure being boosted by visits from the Arse Cheeks, the 2 Edinburgh clubs and Dundee. You are being delusional if you think almost all of the 4,663 were home supporters. The difference in home support has to be at least 1,000 in our favour. St Johnstone benefit from an average of around 1,800 away fans a game in the Premiership. Last season at TFS that figure was 120 So we outstripped their home gates by around 1,900 whilst in league 1. So far in the championship that has increased to 2,500 And would be closer to 3,000 in the Premiership. The idea that St Johnstone get remotely close to our crowds is complete fantasy stuff, the reality is 50% tops No surprise to see McGlynn's odds tumbling now 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted yesterday at 11:44 Share Posted yesterday at 11:44 Can we get this St Johnstone crap in the bin please. A club who have massively overachieved and are now on the way down to their natural level. Brown did a magnificent job with them in his time in charge but he is history. Soon be comparable to Morton or Airdrie once again. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing Falkirk fans still don't get the fact the clubs ceiling/floor, decided by their finances, are almost identical if not ours being higher, and that's with the Browns putting no effort into getting sponsorships. It's not the 80s anymore. Support size means less and less the further down the ladder you go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Sheerin 6/1 3rd favourite?! WTf**k! I know he's an ex-player of theirs and bookies always have a wildcard as a few £5 bets can skew the odds for stuff like this but that is wild. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
