A Believer

No debate about maybe being disappointed. However Mr Lodgers constant flow of finger pointing and doom mongering is just disproportionate. I'd rather wait and hear 'this is what we've done', rather than updates on what we're trying to do, in terms of signings.

I think a little respect to the guys who gave their time to do the very best they could is in order. Like or loathe recent times, they committed where others didn't. Better to have tried and failed than never tried at all. A considered approach to appointments of people with capacity and capability may take time: I can't see many on P&B either applying or qualifying. The secretaries details are on the website for the bow wave of CV's; forward looking ones with no retrospective bile a preference. You'll know that already of course Mr Lodger.

Such a monotounous dirge: gie it a rest man.

Oh loving this Doug; significantly more articulate than me and on point.

We're both passionately wanting the best for our club BTU, no doubt; as do most on here, aside from Mr Feet's personal vandetta. Again, I respect your view that you feel John won't follow George's plan; I believe otherwise. What we do agree on is that he must, and that time will tell. The Club's future rests on developing that plan through Directors with capacity and professional capability to deliver the benefits; with the SC and ST firmly behind them. Anything less will need the fall back of a random benefactor. Would you invest in a club with a negative equity model? I hope we can unify on this; I'll walk over hot coals to see it through; but run a mile if we can't focus on a common strategy quickly.

Well the hangover hasn't stopped you from posting a good summary of reality, fair play. I think it's fair to say few would have foreseen our rapid decline coinciding with the level of investment flowing into our new opposition in LL. I fear your forecast of an extended stay in LL may be likely; but one never can tell. It's a hard and thankless gig being a volunteer in any capacity, let alone a Director of a football club, I only hope new Directors are found with the capacity and professional capability to develop the strategy to stabilise and grow the club. I happen to feel; and I respect your opinion, although I dont share it, that John Bell is the man to lead that, when he has the mandate as Chairman. It will depend on a new, strong and unified board, with the SC and ST behind, and all pulling in the same direction. I'm optimistic that model will crystalise this week and communications will flow from there. If not, then again you're right, we need a super daddy (or mummy) with upwards of around £200k to invest; but that will need the demonstrable profit making model we haven't had for many years, or I doubt that'll happen either.

Morning Mr Lodger. So what is your agenda as regards the board? Who in, who out?

Such agitation and spreading of information which, if true, is restricted; being private and privileged board information. Having only joined P&B a few weeks, you would appear to have an agenda; on behalf of the person allegedly feeding you privileged info? Or are you making up the Yano stuff?

Life and football is all about opinion. If I may, I'm wholeheartedly with Mr Gordini's views; all if them. Nothing to add, and nothing personal, it's just wholely reflective if my views.

Outstanding post, on every point; Board protocols, that Mr Bell has a sustainable and viable plan and that GM's intended departure is a very very bad thing. The hard thing will be recruiting Directors with capacity and capability to own and drive each element of the strategy. Directors that live by a version of JFK's 'ask not' speech; 'ask not what your club can do for you—ask what you can do for your club” The SC and ST have bought into the strategy GM explained a few months ago at the joint boards meeting. I believe a restructured board under JB, with SC and ST all sharing that common strategic vision, gives us the best shot of a swift return to SPFL2. I'm not JB either, however may be Spartacus...

It is indeed utter rubbish.

Do you mind if I ask if this is from a Director subsequent to a Board discussion? No need to name. Or are you a BRFC Director? Just checking the veracity of what you say before commenting.

You should be so lucky.....

Target rich environment Mr 'now we've secured our league status'.

You're right. It was me. It's my fault. All of it. I have my black and gold sackcloth on, and liberally sprinkled with ashes. I fact, I'm now off to 'have a long hard think about I have probably contributed to what has happened today, and with the others aswell bit I am the obvious one....' I'm running it through my Fergie1 Enigma machine, but when I crack it, I'm all over it. Now, will you stop peeking over my hedge, you're scaring the cat.

Much obliged Mr Hoorsur, we're feeling the love from Fife, as I hope are all the Black & Gold. [emoji106]

Thank you for another of your widely anticipated pearls Mr Wee; and, as one of these welcome quirks of coincidence, that's just a perfect description of what you talk. I most reverently hope your next sh!t's a hedgehog. Mr Pride of the Clyde however is a credit to your club and society, which IMHO, you are not. You dick.

Well said. Once the dust has settled on this season, I hope to see Mr Lodger, the boards of The Club, The Trust and The Supporters Club sitting together, to look forward, not back, and develop the burgeoning plan for our Clubs future. That unified approach started some time ago, I believe it will continue. I hope the self-serving blaming will stop now: please. Now is not the time for this chat as you so rightly say BM. C'mon John, Ian and the boys; you can do it!!

Another top post DB, well said and I agree with all your sentiments. 'mon The Borderers!!

Yahoorsir, I rather think you could my dear Muzzle.

Really? Can't see the logic of that. We're bust, so grass roots player development is even more vital. If true, are you a Director? If so, best step away if this is how you repay being on a board and entrusted to keep board outcomes priveledged until formally released. Even if you're not, it's such misplaced faith that you were told this, if it's true. I'm very sorry to say that I doubt you'll be trusted again. Is it true?

Wahay! Playground name calling. Maginificent. Have you peaked? I may regret joining you here, but you started it..[emoji23]

Wow; syntax car crash again...I just can't work out if you're trolling or just not quite at the races. Both injured. Sheesh...

Nae bites Gordon? Nae luck. Best effort?

Somebody that knew? You know very well what I'm saying. Any Director divulging this IS sticking the knife in and should walk or be booted.
