Don't let costs run away in the last 8 months when Ronnie Bateman resigned because of Henderson. Offer him a contract that shows the club has ambition to get to the Premiership. To replace Sibbald's quality it will cost more than retaining him. So we've not to let costs run away, but we've to throw money at the "problem"? Ok then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 So we've not to let costs run away, but we've to throw money at the "problem"? Ok then. I mean 140k to a consultant close to the MSG to build the vanity project that is the East Stand as an example. We made £1.2m profit two seasons ago. We are now potless. What part of financial mismanagement do you not get? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want my Sibbs back and get on with absolutely romping this league 2002 style. Now this I agree with 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sibbs signs back on, which I hope he does, he's a first pick on the park. Where? Taiwo currently but also remember Hippo will do his usual 2 good games to 3 quiet ones ratio. Hopefully he's back in the squad come Paisley next week. Spot on mate. I've mentioned before that some of our fans want us to fail so they can say 'I told you so'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He owes Falkirk nothing. This mess lies completely at the feet of our Directors/Shareholders He owes us nothing and we owe him nothing either. His agent should take some of the hit though as he seems unable to get him any options apart from a midweek break in luton. First thing id be doing if i was sibbald would be getting someone else to help run my affairs. As for the bod can anyone actually confirm 100% that sibbald wanted to sign his contract last week but this was refused? No rumours , no someones m8 told me this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted to sign just accept that is the case and stop second guessing it. Anyone could come on here and say 100% he wanted to sign it will prove nothing. You either believe or not. Too many saying it and not just people on forums. People who have actually spoken to him. I was told by someone who had spoken to the lad twice. He has just moved agent in March who is Vaulks agent and has a good reputation. This is a situation the club have engineered as they are desperate for cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure someone will post up a screenshot of the email from the board to Sibbs any minute now yeah....No rumours or such like? It's a football forum ffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Why has his agent then not said anything. I'd be straight to the press saying Craig wants to re-sign but unfortunately the contract is no longer on the table and we'll now have to look elsewhere. Pretty simple to me and would put pressure on the bod to get it sorted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 tbf the bit with the board seems more than likely as lets face it for what we let go we have signed 3 players in Mitchell, Harris and Loy the rest have stepped up from the development/academy. I cant fault Sibbs as end of the day anyone of us would move to better our career and more cash just unfortunate all his agent can get him is Luton and that "IF" true which is more than probable the board want want him to move on so they can cash in on him in which case the only person suffering out of all this is Sibbs and if the board do eventually let him sign the contract on offer would any of you bust a gut for an employer that wanted to piss you about so they could cash in (i know i wouldnt). Just once i wouldnt mind someone on our board to show a bit of backbone or someone to show some ambition and a bit leadership as it genuinely feels as far as our club goes if there is a f**k up someone where in Scottish Football you can pretty much guarantee our club are involved in it (see the Sevco vote for a prime example) and dont get me started on Henderson with his Brexit statement that has the square root of nothing to do with us. Am not saying we bust the bank to go for "the next level" or spend outwith our means and do a Dunfermline/Livvy/Dundee/Killie/Sevco/Hearts and do a CVA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The agent can't sell someone who isn't currently a wanted man by anyone due to the circumstances of his age, step a year on where no fee is required, then interested parties will at least double !! He would have a fair amount of interest, more in Scotland no doubt. The agent, if he is worth his salt perhaps should've advised him to sign a 2yr contract with a release fee and if he performed this season, he may have got a move, if not in 2yr a move would've happened. The problem is agents make more money with players moving. The simple facts tho are St Mirren obviously had two midfield players that were deemed to have more than Sibbald and were sold pretty pronto 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 The way this is going he could end up in the stands watching football next season as opposed to playing it. The club won't take the contract off the table if there is a few bob to be made, it also leaves the boy in limbo if nobody is willing to pay and he won't re-sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
