MJC Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago McGlynn is a proper manager, AJ is a coach. Galling to see Falkirk absolutely sweep Hearts aside on their own patch when we are scraping draws at Tannadice and patting ourselves on the back for it. Also, Hearts have just one win in their last eight. Against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I dont think scraping a draw is accurate 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago McGlynn's "proper manager" approach earned Falkirk a 0 - 0 at Fir Park. I think he's a great fit at Falkirk, but have no idea how he'd fare at Fir Park. His record at Hearts was poor and at Livi was fair to middling.

joewarkfanclub Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago 15 hours ago, MJC said: McGlynn is a proper manager, AJ is a coach. What does that even mean? The days of football managers having control and responsibility for absolutely everything to do with the playing side of a football club are long gone. Most clubs (even us!) have a Head/Director of football, a team of analysts, sports scientists, and other individuals who assist them with the day to day running of the football department. Most modern managers are in fact just "Head Coaches". McGlynn is currently doing very well at a club that suits him. But lets not forget that he is coming towards the end of a somewhat ordinary managerial career during which he underwent an epiphany working under Brendan Rogers at Celtic. Before that, he was just another one of many average Scottish managers on the merry-go-round that would have been chased by our fans had he been suggested 10 years ago. Thats not to discredit his current achievements. Merely giving them context. Alfred on the other hand is a very young ambitious coach at the start of his career. Who is to say where he will end up at this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managers handle both team tactics and administration, like transfers and contracts . While coaches focus on training players and developing tactics. Seeing as Falkirk have a CEO who deals with transfers and contracts the same as we do, McGlynn will do exactly the same role as AJ does for us. Jesus fuck the lengths some of you are going to defend an ingrained opinion is really quite sad. By all means dislike AJ if you want, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but for Christs sake spare us the mental acrobatics to justify your ingrained mindset. Fuck me we had the utter shite a few weeks back "has he lost the dressing room" after 7 games. I've said for sometime that I'm not convinced by AJ but I am open to the fact that he can change my opinion and those trying to infer there has been no improvement over the last 3/4 games are just being bloody minded to defend their over the top rhetoric. Like any manager AJ may turnout to be a dud , he may not but lets keep it to facts. How the fuck you know enough about what McGlynn does at Falkirk and what AJ does at Motherwell is a puzzler, cos to any even minded thinking its just pure speculation to reinforce an ingrained mindset. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago McGlynn is suited to Falkirk, he’s at home there and can do no wrong. Good luck to him as I think he’s improved as a manager and he’s one of the few who have adapted. I think he’d be a nutcase to leave where he is wanted to go to Aberdeen, their fans would rip him to shreds. as for AJ, for a few weeks, starting probably at the game at Ibrox, we really looked disjointed and all over the place, his selections seemed iffy to say the least (especially v Celtic) and a number of his substitutions in games have left me a bit bemused. But you’d need to be a blinkered idiot not to recognise we’ve played quite well in the past few games and have just missed that bit of clinical finishing (same as last year) I think things are turning around a bit and players are coming back from injury making the squad stronger. He’s got my full backing and I think most of the fans (who go to the games) agree. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Being a manager and being a coach are two different things. A manager or head coach if you prefer that title (still a manager) is a figurehead, a leader who manages, motivates and directs his players. Regardless of what their actual remit is on paper, managers come to the fore. JBA was a manager John McGlynn is a manager Alfred Johansson is a coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBA was a manager John McGlynn is a manager Alfred Johansson is a coach So your basically saying there is no difference other than the personal characteristics of the person who holds the position? What you are describing is a Leader. Jens had stature. McGlynn has age and experience. Alfred has neither of those things, so he needs to be able to show that his tactics and philosophy work to gain the trust of the players. That takes time. Time you dont seem to be willing to give him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
