DA-go Par Adonis Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 I'm not sure they'll get rid. If they do, it will only be because the fans have made their feelings known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berry Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Can’t fire a manager because the fans have made their feelings known, we’ll be changing every month man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's different levels to it though. Some troll typing, "[insert manager's name here] out", on dafc.net after every single defeat isn't going to spark a sacking. Half a dozen guys congregating at the tunnel to shout at the manager after a poor performance isn't going to do much more. Getting relegated at the hands of Queens Park over two games and witnessing the support singing, in large numbers, about the manager being a "dirty falkirk b******", is more likely to focus the mind. I agree that the fans can't dictate when a manager goes due to the trigger-happy nature of a section of the support. However, if the board think that the relationship between the manager and the majority of fans is broken and beyond repair - and they have to market season tickets in 4 weeks - then they might be thinking about whether it is sensible to keep him in a job. For what it's worth, I don't think Hughes is a bad person or that personal abuse should be dished out. I've no doubt he did his best and tried 100% to keep us up. However, I'd like to have some company in the EEP stands next year and the best way to do that is with someone else at the wheel. The board may agree, based on recent scenes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Season ticket sales will go into freefall if he is staying. Might that force a re-think? Edited May 9, 2022 by Raymie 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was speaking to David from the club shop after the game on Saturday and he had already had a few people saying to him they wont be renewing if Yogi stays. Will be around 1500 season ticket renewals I would guess if Yogi stays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone commented upon the strange circumstances of them announcing a crowd of 4500 on the night ( it looked nowhere near that- I even commented to my mate that it was very odd to inflate the crowd) and then printing in the official match report on COWS that the crowd was 3190. The suggestion was made that someone had inadvertently added the number of season tickets sold to the "walk ups" to arrive at 4500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Army Par Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Yeah, from what I remember in the summer, ST sales were pretty poor 1500 sounds about right. The Peter Grant appointment didn't go down very well and there was still uncertainty around covid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA-go Par Adonis Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 And it can be that again. 1,500 was probably artificially low due to Covid. A decent managerial appointment and a couple of exciting signings could spark more interest. Then, if we have a good season and get promoted, we could build on that again. I realise that "could" and "if" are doing a lot of heavy lifting there, but you might as well be positive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 I'd be surprised if the new CEO kept him on. He's had the majority of the season and a transfer window to turn it around. Kevin Thomson with Scott Brown and Steven Whitaker would excite the fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know what the big thing is about Kevin Thomson?he won the league with a massive budget. He would be better staying with Kelty for a wee while longer,just look what happened when Barry Ferguson jumped ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livipar2 Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Move heaven and earth to get Petrie. That would certainly boost ST’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
