AL-FFC Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 The way i see it as far as things go , if Rawlings has been watching the games from the US and if the BoD want further investment then they are going to have to listen he didn’t get Stoke to where they were by shying away from important and sometimes unpopular decisions (not that i know much about Stoke) but he has more experience in being a football clubs owner than what we have and at some stage even he is going to be frustrated as f**k about what is going on . A line needs to be drawn under all of this sooner rather than later if Rawlings wants community involvement then that in itself is going to go at loggerhead with SA and MR as so far as mentioned they shirk any blame of how badly they have got things wrong.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of interviews, match reports and all other social media activity is making me hope something has happened 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good fan base and a budget that swamps 8 of the other 9 in this league. It's a great job . McKinnon is no genius but he is doing with queen's park what we should be doing this season to everyone else save perhaps Partick although considering their terrible start to the season them too. I still the think we should be looking at managers on the way up for a change. Ones that have proven relatively successful and have already cut their teeth. A jack Ross, Jim Goodwin type. Young and Petrie fit the bill so they would be the first port of call. If they say no then you look elsewhere. Good names ! But reputation wise we are seen as a hire and fire outfit which will put people off. Think they will stick with M&M till end of play offs. Then clear the decks and put the job in the paper and see who applies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact we've not heard anything by now says to me they are still in charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I suspect that the BOD's thinking is that by sacking managers who are top of the league it sends out a terrible message to prospective managers who, especially in Scotland where the money isn't amazing, are looking for a bit of job security as much as the rest of us. That's one reason why they won't get rid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be too cynical/pessimistic, but for how much longer will this remain true/an option. Given the absolute catastrophe this season is becoming for Falkirk, does the job remain attractive? At some point the position becomes a tar pit, where you are stepping into a quagmire that slow sucks you under, no matter how you struggle and fight. If the BOD, etc. at Falkirk remain the same, surely there are possible hires out there looking at the situation and saying, “Yea, no!”. There’s a pretty significant difference between knicker-wetting and an existential threat to the club, and to an outsider, this mess doesn’t scream wet nappy anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I get that but what I mean is if you truly believe you are a decent manager you will get us out this league, you’ll be paid better than some clubs in the championship etc and your stock will probably rise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 The idea that we wouldn’t attract at least decent, better than M&M managers is fantasy land stuff. Football coaching/management, like every other occupation, is more competitive than ever. More resources than ever to become a coach and a clearer path than ever to be one. We are a club with a top 1/2 budget in the league, who has punched so far below its weight for 10 years +. You would basically have to do the bare minimum as a manager here and you’d be hailed as a hero and roaring success after the shite we’ve had to endure, and you’d get your move away without any qualms from our passive board. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 We are pretty close to an entire squad rebuilding job again, mind you least we didn’t have the turnover of Hartley/RM trouble is some of the dross that was kept or added to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
