Michael W Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 "Certain player transactions not clearly enough explained". No, Eric, they were explained quite clearly to us; it just so happened that they were absolutely fucking moronic. That this still hasn't been appreciated says it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"These issues came back and bit us on the backside, of that there is no doubt" fairly clear to me that they have been appreciated - which bit of that is unclear?

Raith Against The Machine Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 If certain transfers haven't been explained clearly enough, I think the thing to do would be to explain them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Issues" - It's a complete understatement. The words he was looking for are "terrible mistake" and "I'm sorry such a dreadful decision was allowed to be made". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Is there a glut of people who want to be on our Board? I see all these calls for Eric to do one. Just wonder who the next Eric is? It's not like we're a big deal. We're a League 1/Championship provincial club who last had anything approaching success 20 years ago.For those in the know, who are the options for Chief Exec? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Chairman and other Board members don't want to do the day to day running of the club then we probably do need a Chief Executive. I agree that the traditional roles of Chairman, Secretary, etc. seem to be how we operated previously without many issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaside league titles and our first lower league cup are success. Winning anything is nice if you're Raith Rovers, but it's hardly being back in the big time, despite the opponents. It's all about your point of reference. Unfortunately for me, it's the '90s. So success is promotion to the top league and winning cups that the Premiership teams participate in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally!! Someone realising that regardless of how loud we shout for a new CEO or BOD, there's hardly a never ending que of directors with the cash to invest in the club or people with the expertise or time to run a club the size of ours full time. We don't need a CEO. We didn't have one before Drysdale invented the title for himself. I think we definitely need someone to be running the club on a day to day basis. The sad thing is, despite all his criticism and failings this season, we don't know what kind of job he's actually doing behind the scenes. If he did leave then what could the repercussions be? I personally don't think he will be in the same role next season. He is now an elected member of Perth City Council which I'm sure has full time commitments in itself so can't imagine him juggling the 2 positions unless his job is split with someone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 2 when we won the league cup I was 7 when we were last in the top tier I'd be pretty depressed when it comes to football if it wasn't for the Ramsden cup win over THEM 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 The fact that Drysdale is a "lifelong fan" is peddled as if that is reason enough to excuse his incompetence. If, and it's a big if, the board do feel the need to employ a CEO I would prefer it if they appointed someone based on their competence rather than who they support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it's a CEO or a Chairman or a Secretary, we need someone actively running the club. That person may want some form of salary unless they are doing it out the goodness of their heart.How much do we think a competent CEO would want for a salary? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
