After his last two windows, he's genuinely getting a hand in recruitment again. This club is a shambles. Why do we keep doing this to ourselves? Sounds like he’s got far more than just a hand in it going by that quote 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 The same dope DOF with the same dope scout, signing the shite we’re about to get in January, after signing the shite they signed in the summer, with a guy who’s never managed in Britain before and who was most recently an assistant at a women’s team in USA, with Kenny Miller as assistant...we’re genuinely going down aren’t we? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I expect a couple of kids we've never heard of to turn up on the first of January from some top flight outfit who'll be nowhere near ready to play. More money pished down the drain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Cani wait until we give sign Robbie Muirhead on a 2 and a half year deal in January.Fucking disgrace that we’re still employing him but leaving him in charge of the January recruitment is mental. We absolutely deserve everything we get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbri Bairn Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Surely the board see the lack of faith the fan base have in any Holt recruitment. Everything he has touched since his arrival has brought us disaster. We can't trust him with our FSS hard earned cash. BPM PLEASE LET YOUR COHORT KNOW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawkirk Wull Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Already had in motion according to Ronnie, i assume means Mr Holt has already signed players on pre contracts assuming deals done before new board were installed. Now we have Falkirk supporters as board members would it be possible to relay just a tiny bit of what is happening behind the scenes or are the Rawlins still dictating. The silence is still as deafening as before 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't, he's going to fail and end forever his hopes of managing in Scotland. His future career is dependent on being able to live or die by his own decisions, not the sniggering, sneering Holt's. It's not us who should be telling the board to get rid of Holt, it's Rennie. The relationship between the two would have formed a big part of Rennie coming on board. Whatever the dynamic is will be set unless Holt gets emptied. We just need to hope between Rennie and the new board, its something that keeps the p***k out the road. Funnily enough I can see Miller getting sick of the little shit first and sticking one on him before Rennie has him binned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Problem for Rennie is he is just in the door so probably can’t start making too many demands re the removal of those above him, as that was the terms of the role he took on.It’s up to those on the board to act but radio silence as ever. At least some sort of explanation might pacify things, but absolutely nothing…… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na, its way more likely that Rennie and Miller, if they have anything about them and manage to turn us around a bit, spend more energy sorting out their next move to a non shit show club, than wasting time on problems we should clealry have dealt with ourselves. Thats where we are. Anyone conpetent will have one eye on the door as ling as the perception is that Holt is untouchable. Fucking hell man.... Even just typing that.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ecosse83 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Worrying times if Holt gets to spend some more money. The problems here are years in the making so I’m not expecting the new board to come in and instantly improve things but by Christ surely getting rid of Holt would be a no brainier! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast_Action Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 There may be reasons financial or contractual for not being able to bin Holt. As one of you has said accurately already, sniggering, sneering Holt. I did watch your Q&A with Gary Deans at the helm, and I have to say that it is a long time since I have seen anyone quite as up himself as Holt. I took a dislike to him within seconds. Are the new board saying anything about restructuring the club? It sounds like that is where they need to start. You will not go down. Both teams today have an eye on the playoffs - you guys getting into one set and us avoiding the other. By the way, who was your no22 today? He really did stand out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioBairn Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I’m pretty sure the new board, who are desperate for the support of the fans, will speak to the fans about the direction of the club soon . Everyone wants to get behind this, give us something to get behind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Caractacus Potts Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Can we use some of the BFL money to bring Sibbald back to the club? He’s out of contract in the Summer and doesn’t start too regularly for Livi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wants to get behind this, give us something to get behind.Honestly, I know they are just in the door, but I really expected that the new board would be really keen to get the support onside and show that things are changing. The best way to do that is surround the key stakeholders (us) with early communications re all that they are doing as far as reasonable. But it’s been so quiet you can hear a mouse squeak…. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They arent helping themselves by giving the appearance of doubling down on Holts continued presence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
