I'm probably that pissed of at the moment that I'm over reacting to every perceived slight. Apologies to @Skyline Drifter and @Salvo Montalbano For avoidance of doubt I was referring to the Scottish cup semi final run, which is absolutely a windfall, not a covid grant you got 2 years ago and clearly must have spent since there was talk of a six figure shortfall at the start of this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairns1994 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Who are the realistic replacements for McGlynn if he gets the boot after Saturday? I was 50/50 after the shit show on Tuesday, but his arrogance and failure to identify his tactics & squad were to blame, is the final nail in the coffin for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby I think could do a good job. I was surprised he was punted by PT and he walked over us in this league. Yogi, I have a blind spot for. As a manager I think we had him at his peak, and he's been going downhill since. Failed at every club he's been at for the past 7-8 years but, at the same time, if he came back I'd be weirdly excited and pumped up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FFC1965 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Surprised nobody has mentioned Brian Rice - taking Alloa to the playoffs is a fair achievement and he has a connection with the club. Of course Alloa may yet go up, more chance of doing so than Falkirk in which case he might be more in demand further up the food chain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yogi would be more of McGlynn's tippy-tappy sideways football so no improvement at all. Jobby would be an improvement in my mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton fans were happy he went, and from what I read on here Alloa fans were more than happy to see him go too, before the stumbled into the playoffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His achievements in L1 are excellent. Yogi has relegated both Raith & Dunfermline in his recent appointments, apart from Ross County. Plus his allegations of being a bully at Raith doesn't excite me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 McCall was approached by the previous BOD, but he politely said although he held the club in high regard, he wouldn’t touch Falkirk with a barge pole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I think McCall would be a decent shout but I neither know, nor really care to speculate on what the particular baggage is that seems to be getting rumoured. What I do know is we can't afford to get the next one wrong. Regardless of what anyone says, if we see another debacle next season that ends in no promotion, the crowds will dwindle away, and we will be utterly welded to this division. This BoD are fresh in and I have broadly like what they have done, but I don't envy them on the managerial call. Its the biggest one imaginable. There must be plenty of ex Falkirk guys in football they could lean on for advice. I would suggest to cash every chip they have seeking out advice on specifically getting out this League. And even then its hard. Loads of managers who body a league are right place right time, then amount to not very much in the future, or in the league above. We just need to land that guy who it all comes together for. Folk laugh at the likes of Allan Johnston as an idea but it's a good example of what I mean. How could you have called that he would absolutely batter this league? To some extent we need to trap lightning in a bottle with very little room for error 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't, because Falkirk's board are working with the most gormless and gullible fanbase in Scottish football. Give it three weeks and a couple of social media posts from the club about ambishun, and you'll all be back posting about your 'sexy signings' and crowdwanking into oblivion again. Just before your team flops yet again. Rinse and repeat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Pretty sure that if we somehow turn in a decent ninety in the return play off, McGlynn will be in place for next season. Not one word from upstairs on the humiliating defeat and car crash interview would suggest that he’s still got their backing. Fans certainly split on McGlynn being binned, but for me he’s failed and the thought of guys like Nesbitt being here for another two seasons actually sickens me, and if the BOD think that this two year deal is acceptable, certainly throws up more questions than answers. The reason why we are still in L1 is down to the players that pull on the jerseys, guys like Nesbitt who was part of a first eleven who downed tools with a half season to play shouldn’t be near the club. I’d have Airdrie’s (and most of the opposition midfielders we face each week) four midfielders before I would play him, another disgraceful performance yet again on Tuesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
