Doyle is better than Mercer. You can't suggest Longridge is any worse than Leitch? Of course, we'd have hoped M&M could have signed better than any of these players mentioned. But they made decisions to actively keep the worst of the bunch! Leitch and Longridge are different players. Really it’s Morrison who has replaced Longridge in the squad. Longridge had 1 good game in 5 if he was lucky. Nowhere near good enough for one of the higher paid players at the club. Morrison has delivered much more in that position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Wouldn't call Leitch any kind of player to be honest. Hope to never see him in a Falkirk shirt ever again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s been working with Paul Lambert, then both will have been hounded out of all their previous clubs. Ipswich were laughable bad under them. However, he would get my support as all new manager’s deserve. I didn't see the game today. What was the context of his appearance on FTV, was he doing commentary? Does seem a bit strange, given that it takes no great leap of imagination to think he might be a candidate for the job, yet Holt was talking about following a structured recruitment process. Could just be coincidence, but his name has also been mentioned on here by a couple of posters who seem to have some idea of what is going on. Might be something in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he was, in the top league mind you. But to question what McCann has done to deserve to manage a league 1 side, is what is confusing me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud131 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I might be remembering totally wrong here but was there not something mental like we had to pay McCann money to terminate his contract so he could go work as a pundit when he was a player? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was interviewed at HT as though he was a fan taking in the game. He was asked if he had any plans moving forward and he said he didn’t like not working and was looking forward to being back in work soon with Dave Mac saying he was always welcome at the Falkirk Stadium. Why would he be allowed at a game that’s behind closed doors? Unless of course he’s scouting someone for a team. Just makes Holt’s comments yesterday about this proper recruitment selection be a lot of rubbish cause I can’t imagine any other potential candidates were there today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkirkBairn2021 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 What summed the absolute clowns who run our club up for me was when we had the big 'meeting at the stadium'. They were told then to get Pressley to f**k. What did they do? Announced a new contract for him days later. Wankers the lot of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis lacks some basic skills but he has presence pace and can carry the ball well and quickly. Worth a go at this level as we just need to get the ball up the park - seems to me in this league most goals come from mistakes or loose balls in the box . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by some fluke we get to the playoff final we will get absolutely rag dolled. My fear for this club is the decision making now. Anyone with any nouse, understanding of the game would have tipped these out last summer. They have gone unchecked and signed an absolute gang. For that the Board has to take full responsibility. It was bad before but god it is ten times worse now. Why any fan has any confidence in them getting it right next season is beyond me. Don’t the play offs work differently down here in the shit leagues? I got the impression there might be a few back soon with Holts reaction in his interview there. We’re shite but so are everyone else! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on whose fit. We beat Arbroath so no reason we couldn't beat Morton or Ayr if we have players fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I very much doubt McCann would come anyway. Just can't see him working under a dof. Could see him falling out with a dof quite easily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
