I'd rather still have Brian than most of the circus off of the park We are a shambles. From the chairman down. ☝️Absolutely this Not going to go over the events of the last few months as there as way too many too list but we are just making terrible decision after terrible decision and never stopping to ask why do we keep trusting those making the decisions? What evidence is that they miraculously get it right this time? When we inevitably struggle in the league who carries the can? Really unfair on Wilson but he will be the guy in the public eye but being forced to play with other peoples players and make the best he can of poor decisions elsewhere I sincerely hope our Chair is going to commit to resigning before he considers sacking Wilson and if our board believe the Sporting Director strategy is correct they need to be the visible presence answering questions on it. Its their decision time to start owning it I got called out as over reacting for saying our club leadership was rotten to the core on May 29th. I have never changed my mind and every passing day just adds more evidence. Edited June 13 by laukat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posts on Pie&bovril of him in a Falkirk strip This feels like the worst off season I can remember If we are replacing him with a 32 year old striker who's can barely score and who has been playing in the Jersey leagues then that's truly awful I though that you would want someone who plays for the Jersey.

That would seem somewhat surprising for a rookie manager/head coach. I could understand it more in an experienced manager who had an established and successful track record in running the whole show.

The trouble is BG thought he had cut his teeth by being the Women’s Team Manager for 5 years ( his words , not mine ) and probably his ego wouldn’t want to be “ advised “ We’ll miss his goals but PTFC as a Club in the past have replaced better players than BG. Just to throw some sour grapes around , BG couldn’t hack it in the Premier League 10 yrs ago, is he really going to do it now at 37 years of age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he’s not in charge of recruitment - he’s in charge of coaching. And therein lies the problem. He’ll carry the can for an under-performing team, a team that he didn’t even build.

I could understand it more in an experienced manager who had an established and successful track record in running the whole show. We were rumoured to be signing Michael Ruth who is now at Queens Park. There's a Dumbarton fan on P&B who does all their interviews and he's saying we had all but him signed and suspects he only went to Queens Park because Graham didn't get the Head Coach job. The deal was seemingly in play from early this year so chances are Graham & Wilson scouted him and had done the ground work along with probably other signing targets so they could get key business done early which makes sense when operating on a reduced budget. So the following is my guess and it is a guess Did Graham as part of his discussions say here's the list of folk I want immediately, they are scouted, not particularly expensive and we should get them now as other clubs are interested. Barraclough or Beastall either say no or give an answer that implied it would need the sporting Director/Head of recruitment to check or budgets agreed before Graham could do anything. Graham looks at that and thinks this is no way to way to work and knocks it back ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sensible thing would be to try and get someone like Ollie Shaw in the door with Grahams wage freed up - But rumours suggest it maybe Kurtis Guthrie a striker who it appears struggles to score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
