Just had a listen to the press conference and interviews on K107 Sports show. Really worth a listen as they play the whole press conference and speak to most of the new Board one on one.
A few things stood out for me. The new guys coming in all speak very well and definitely seem an upgrade on what we’ve had in recent years - both communication wise and ideas wise. There’s always a risk that anyone new is either all big promises or just motherhood and apple pie, but it definitely doesn’t feel like that. It feels like fairly solid, concrete ideas and plans that could make a real difference. From the building work/renovations, to talk of using data on fans better to market the club or creating an ultras section in the Railway Stand. There is a real focus on bringing fans along with them. They all get asked what their message to people would be and it’s all good inclusive stuff like ‘belong’ ‘come with us’ ‘be part of it’ ‘leave no one behind’ Hopefully that will be backed up by actions.
The only mildly worrying thing is that there’s a hint that Sim will still be more actively involved than initially suggested. Hopefully this was just them being polite and saying the right thing in front of him before he gets sidelined out the door. If the interviews highlighted how professional and focused the new guys seem, they also threw a spotlight on just how big a tube Sim is. He was just rambling, disjointed anecdotes and more interested in making jokes than saying anything thoughtful or meaningful. It’s easy to see how the club got driven into a ditch under his watch. Anyway definitely worth a listen and great work by K107.
Sim still owns 49% of the football club and 100% of the ground.

Website saying this. Anyone got a list of who the 7 are? Is Susan Simpson still there? Dot Wilson confirmed as one of the 7?
I jotted down some names and job titles that were mentioned as i watched that interview:
Andrew Barrowman, Steve McDonald Chairman, Colin Smart vice-chairman, Ruaridh Kilgour digital? manager, John Potter Technical Director, Dean McKenzie General Manager, Alan Halliday Operations Manager, Greg McEwan Commercial manager, Dean Andrew.
i guess we will hear shortly who gets a seat by on the board.I think I heard that the consortium only bought 51% so presumably Sim will be lurking in the background until he can offload the rest.

I keep saying it but if someone lost £300,000 for Sim, Sinton or McDonald's company they'd be gone the same day!
Given that the directors are probably better described as unpaid volunteers that try to carry out Sims plans, I don't think its helpful to wish them gone.

Raith still best team I’ve seen us play made us look hopeless. Kind of hoping for a shite day weather wise in 2 weeks time to be honest because Raith looked very good ball on deck. Shite weather and us launching it up at you seems like it could be useful.
Berra is having a great season. Launch away, he doesn't miss many headers.

Keeping the ball only takes us so far.
It doesn't look like the midfield know when to play the strikers in, or that the strikers know how or when they want the ball delivered.
The result is we keep the ball for too long and give the opposition far too long to get in position.
Shake it up a bit McGlynn!

I had a horrible dream the other night that day after day a member of my dead pool died and in the order I had listed.
Fifteen days fifteen dead.
Somehow this extraordinary coincidence got out to the public and I was being hounded / investigated.
Currently sitting with no points patiently waiting for the first hit of the year.3 -

Episode 1- Harry stands by door for 27 minutes waiting for a footman to open it.
I don't think it's Phil with the racist comments, it's just far too tactful and 20th century. My money's on Kate.
