sked21 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hopefully it is true. I may be reading a bit too much into things but this could mean Frail is not getting the job as if he was I reckon he would have got McCann on the coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie-Brown Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Unless he's taking a massive pay cut to continue playing in the SPL then he'd be better taking a coaching job at Hearts - don't know where Falkirk are supposed to be getting money for MacNamara & McCann as a Falkirk fan in the work says their strapped for cash & even lost out on Jack Ross to St Mirren who offered more than the Bairns were.

Mate, from what I've heard from the young lads at the club that have played at reserve level, this is bad news. From their early impression they were raving about the coaching qualities of McCann. For that reason and that reason alone I hope we keep him on the staff otherwise I think we could lose out in the long term. Considering I never heard them rave about Frail in this way...

funktasticlad Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Austin McCann maybe? Doubt Falkirk could afford Neils appearence fee let alone his basic weekly wage. Hopefuly keep Neil McCann on the coaching staff if what ForresterJambo's saying is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyBalboa Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 McCann and Judas Pressley are in cahoots as regards business, should a first division job come up watch them jump. What about Frail? I was kind of thinkin Pressley might get a gig in the 1st division taking Frail with him as number two maybe? At Livingston or somewhere? Also if Frail isn't getting the job why is he not putting himself in the frame for other positions? Dick Campbell just got the only vacant position in Scotland on Weds I thought Frail might be in for it if he is going to be bumped in the summer.

hawaii Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 This would be a remarkable change of policy from Hughes and Falkirk. They have done really well in getting young players from Arsenal and the likes in the past so I can't really see them suddenly signing over 30's - at least not in a playing capacity. Also Latapy will be moving into a coaching role with Falkirk soon as well which is another reason I can't see it happening. Been proved wrong in the past likes. PS - any rumours about the Livvy job coming up soon? Heard that Proctor might be joining West Brom now they have been promoted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some gadge going to buy 50% of Livy but it fell through because Pearse Flynn wanted to keep Proctor and the guy buying wanted to bring in Roddy Collins (that Irish guy who managed Carslile). SO I couldn't see him leaving after that. Also he has brought on a lot of decent youngsters and got them playing good football. All this whilst not being allowed to make any signings due to the ban that's just been lifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambojim52 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Would be happy to see McCann move on from Hearts. What an abysmal signing he has been this time around. Feel sorry for McCann, returning to a club were he was a hero, being injured early on his return, and never finding the touch, when he did get the chance. Never go back they say, and it's proved right in the case. Coaching role if offered, should be snapped up asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your opinion,it will be given the value your vast experience of coaching deserves. Your a bit out of date as well,but another of "my lodgers" could play today at some time. I was referring to the unsightly campaign to undermine John Murray coming from various hingers oan ,in an attempt to promote their man for the job. I am glad it failed. Terry will make a great reserve team coach You refer to Elvis as a Judas,believe me there are others who have taken more pieces of silver for a lot longer time.

portobellojambo1 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Would be happy to see McCann move on from Hearts. What an abysmal signing he has been this time around. I would agree in relation to performances produced on field Coco, I think it was possibly inevitable that what he produced on coming back would be compared with what he produced prior to leaving, and it was never going to reach those levels again. Age and general wear and tear means a 30+ year old winger is never going to be able to reproduce what he could do when playing at his peak in the same position. Cannot really comment on his abilities as a coach/youth coach, as I have never witnessed him performing those tasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 People have to remember that McCann was crippled on his debut at Kilmarnock. For the first 23 minutes or so, he managed to show that he still had a burst of pace and could whip in crosses until he was clattered by some thug. The Kilmarnock fans jeered McCann off too.

That's very true, he still looked a player up until that tackle. He could have been a significant player for us but for that essentially career ending horror tackle. We'll never know...

plastic_bas Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I agree fully with the last two comments. I was at Killie and he was the only player we had that day until the injury. He had them on toast although Killie were playing a centre half at right back. We were guaranteed to win until the injury there after we had no ideas. too many people too keen to join in slamming players. Terry has had 2 serious injuries which some of our overseas players would never have played again. If he can inject enthusiasm, skill and most importantly heart into the youngsters then get him signed up as a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornhillHearts Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 CK I will stick to my thoughts re Elvis as I can think for myself. Nobody to my knowledge is trying to undermine John Murray, indeed I am quite happy at what goes on at academy and being a member of gym at Riccarton I see a lot of hearts youths, they play Dunfy Under 15s and 17s at Riccarton tomorrow, if you can go let me know what you think, I am working so cannot go.

Raymond K?ruzor? Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 McCann was at the front of the dugout in the last reserve game of the season against Rangers.

Of course he signs over 30s - you mention Latapy finally giving up, you cannot replace his influence with an 18yr old laddie on loan from Arsenal, they need a couple mature players around them to help them develop.
