You believe a lot of things. None of them ever turn out to be true. You just made that figure up in your head.

What board statement? The two years to get to the Premier League was a throwaway remark made by McKinnon about half an hour after the Ross County game. Since then it has been repeated by one lunatic poster who has been laughed off this board on numerous occasions and is therefore on about his fourth different username. No one else is stupid enough to swallow it. Fake news. Troll elsewhere.

Same. Not sure how there can possibly be any complaints about the signings made so far. Ok, Gomis is clearly not the player he was at Dundee Utd (1st time around) or Hearts but should be fine for a season in League 1. Connolly did not do much at the Pars but I liked the look of him at United and he ripped us a new one in that game for Raith at TFS a few years ago. Buchanan, Telfer, Tidser - you are simply not getting a better quality of player at this level, on paper three really good signings. This time last year, in fact on this very day the Hartley/Mitch project was going into overdrive, bringing us the likes of Sammut and Froxy to add to the dross already signed and myriad horrors yet to be revealed. On the park, we are in a much better position. Just a damn pity that this big, black ownership cloud continues to hang over us, get that sorted and I reckon season tickets would rocket.

Extremely limited player, did not turn out to be quite as bad as the rest of the utter dross signed last summer, but so, so slow in everything he did. Will have been on a decent wage as well. Not bothered to see him away. Hopefully Telfer is imminent.

Tidser, Buchanan and (hopefully) Telfer would walk into any team in this league.

I'm still trying not to think about that scenario. It's just too horrific to contemplate. Even they must surely, surely realise that it is all over this time, with Tuesday evenings disgrace of a statement the absolute final straw for any still daft enough to be giving them the benefit of any doubt. What would they be left presiding over? A club on its knees, vastly reduced income, same ruinous overheads, collapse in season ticket sales, big drop in matchday crowds and no doubt rummaging about amongst the dregs and the dross at the last minute to stitch some sort of squad together on a meagre playing budget. If there were perhaps only one or two takeover offers submitted they might, might just be able to plausibly explain away their rejection on the "not in the best interests of the club" line. But with seemingly at least four, and two having been driven away due to their procrastination, I do not see how they could even begin to justify them staying at the helm as being the best outcome. But with this lot, it's just impossible to say. These are the darkest days since probably provisional liquidation under Fulston in 1998. Complete mess.

You don't think they had any inkling, any idea, any notion whatsoever of what effect releasing that disgrace of a statement on Tuesday evening would have on already poor season ticket sales? I think they knew very well. So if taking action they know will result in their business losing even more customers is not an act of sabotage, I don't know what is.

Your hope will be in vain. They appear to be actively, willingly sabotaging the club. It's unprecedented. Their only consideration is who is offering the most cash for their shareholding. Pocketing the money and leaving behind an absolute rubble of a club is their dream scenario.

No. It was easy enough to work out. The pre-contract was never even announced because it was predicated on Falkirk remaining in the Championship. We didn't, therefore no confirmation of the signing was ever forthcoming. The fact that Morton have offered him a new contract makes it crystal clear that any obligation to join us is now null and void. He's far too good a player to be messing about in League 1 and won't have any difficulty getting a decent Championship club.

Only really makes sense to anyone who does not give a toss about the club tbh, as we now enter what a fifth week in limbo land with barely enough players to form a five-a-side team. They are well aware what the supporters think of them without having to release some pointless tweet to test the water. Their contempt is inexhaustible it seems.

Charlie Telfer might be an option. McKinnon had him at United I think then signed him for Morton. Would not be a bad signing.

Really? You can see the future can you? Remind me what group of people have just chosen to starve the club of potentially hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of income when they decided to ditch the share purchase scheme at the last moment, having apparently been fully supportive of said scheme a few months earlier. Or who have pissed away untold sums in the last two years on payoffs, terminations, fines for ditching dud players and sacking/hiring second rate managers. They have been treating fans as nothing more than customers for years now. So as a totally dissatisfied customer, I'll be keeping the cash in my pocket until the whole lot of them have cleared off, never to return. As an added bonus, not one penny of my money will be funding the wages of Craig Campbell. That's not such a bad place to be.

Not being funny, but there are a few posters talking like this is an inevitability. There are offers on the table, but that appears to be as far as it goes. We are basically wholly reliant on the MSG putting aside self-interest and doing what is in the best interests of the club. It really isn't a good position to be in at all. Cannot say I am very confident that we will get the right outcome.

The current situation is just completely untenable, it defies belief, but with this mob, nothing surprises you. The season finished three weeks ago and whilst every other club motors on with plans for the new season, we are completely stuck, doing the only thing we do well these days, which is being by far the biggest laughing stock and shambles in Scottish football. They had an offer of investment prior to Christmas, thrown out. Share Purchase scheme, fans shafted on that as well. If they still will not sell to any of the interested parties this time, the only recourse open to supporters is a complete and concerted boycott of the whole enchilada: season tickets, strips, merchandise, matches, everything. Cue the predictable "only hurting the club" from the EdiBairns of this world, but starving them out is the only way we are ever getting rid of this gang I fear. Sickening also to think that a CEO who has, by any performance measure you wish to use, been a complete, total and utter failure is still sitting there creaming off a wage whilst we have sunk to our lowest ebb in forty years.

That's the one. Looked excellent for us in his first couple of games, and there's some potential there, but had a shocker at Cappielow in early March and from then on became more and more of a bombscare with each passing week. Very raw.

Incredible that this complete and utter fallacy is still being spouted. The only ones "hurting the club" are the board/MSG. Supporters refusing to provide any more financial support to a regime who have been taking the piss out of them for years and years and years have absolutely nothing to reproach themselves for. If this is not the time when supporters should be unified in saying Enough is Enough I don't know when will be.

This is a worry, I see the fans/local business people have given a deadline for their offer. This has to be the right way to go, we can't hold out forever. I feel if the board have a shred of concern for the future of our club they have to push to have all this sorted out as soon as possible. Their track record suggest that their primary concern will be for themselves, and what they are getting out of a potential sale, rather than the welfare of the club. The fact that everything is in a complete state of limbo, whilst every other club motors on with plans for next season, won't worry them too much. They know they are finished. Why else has there been absolutely nothing released in relation to season tickets? Because they know the reaction they are likely to get from 99.99% of the support (EdiClown being the 0.01%) if they simply put out a statement saying "Apologies for last season, here are the prices, business as usual, cough up sharpish". Just won't wash any more. That relationship is irreparably broken. Every last one of them needs to be gone, without any further delay.

Nope. Not a single worthwhile contribution between the three of them. Utter dross.

Let's see. Nigh on a decade of stagnation and underachievement in the 1st div/championship, culminating in the biggest clusterf**k of a season in the club's history, relegation to the seaside league, all the while treating the supporters with sheer, naked, visceral contempt and an MSG happy to hide behind a couple of idiots as they make one balls-up after another and cost the club an absolute fortune. Thank God they care. I'd hate to see the state we'd be in if they didn't. The very same scheme you spent weeks and weeks decrying not so very long ago? Time you went off and supported Albion Rovers or whoever your Cabin Boy Kidd ends up signing for. Who's that precontract with again?

So in that sense, absolutely no different to the current mob who you love so much.

He's certainly got off extremely lightly considering the big part his complacency and complete s***ebaggery in the final seven or eight weeks of the season played in us ultimately being relegated. I guess he has our joke of our board/MSG to thank for taking some of the heat off him. I'm kind of on the fence about him - not actively looking for him to go, mainly because it would inevitably lead to a deluge of shouts from the usual suspects to bring back a certain ex-manager or install a bizarre Kerr/Miller "dream team", and it's difficult to come up with realistic alternatives. But if (hopefully when) we are under new ownership and they wanted someone else in, I wouldn't shed any tears at his departure either. He's cost the club a fortune and ultimately failed in his objective. If he does start next season in charge, he'll do so with precious little, if any, credit in the bank. It will be clear soon enough if he is planning to serve up more of the negative, long-ball dross to which we were subjected this season, and if that is the case, I'd be getting rid very quickly indeed.

So to summarise the changes. Lang no longer chair but still hanging about like a bad smell. Err, that’s it. Something might happen at some vague point in the future, until then just keep ponying up and clapping along suckers. Just get out.

Yes, obviously. The fact that she had the nerve to say that after supporters, KJ and DW in particular, put in a power of work on a proposal which THEY backed, only to then be shafted, beggars belief. Although with this pair, nothing should surprises me any more.

What, like 900 + Falkirk supporters who had, within a matter of weeks, pledged investment of more than £600k? That kind of party? You could not make this stuff up. Just go.

We are not in any financial position to be signing "back-up" or squad players. Kidd has been at the club for three years. I cannot remember a single worthwhile contribution from him. Time for him to leech a wage from some other suckers.
