'However I’m not going to condemn the club not making public statements about it as it risks becoming unprofessional so sometimes silence is best on such matters.' It would be difficult to argue that there are not people posting here under pseudonyms on behalf of the club. Transparency and authenticity is much more professional than that approach.

I walked away from the trust for the very same reasons, and could see the writing on the wall right from the start. I am surprised at how quickly and spectacularly things have disintegrated though. I really cannot see how things can recover now.

'Thinks of us as supporters' makes an assumption that he does anything of the sort. Last in a long list of priorities I would suggest.

Well said Stephen Those who question your integrity need to have a good look in the mirror. You have greater staying power than I mate.

Yes, that would be true to form.

If the allegations are true and the trust tried to blow the whistle on those running the club, we need to understand their motivation. I don't think any of them would have been acting vindictively, more likely they have a grave concern about the way the club is being run. Part of the job of the trust is to scrutinise the board and work to ensure it is acting in the best interests of the club and it's fans. It's an unpleasant role. It now seems any scrutiny is met with at best a wall of silence, at worse the removal of people who have put their heart and soul in to the club for years. I come back to the unanswered question about what has happened to the Trust's shares? And the shares of other departed directors?

Dougy's departure should be the final nail in the coffin of the notion that this club has in any way changed since the darkest days of previous regimes. Short sighted and petty on so many levels. Hell mend those in charge.

Didn't know there was such a thing as Airdrieonians Ultras

Yes, coincidence that...

I'd hazard a guess very little money will go on strengthening the squad. It'll be used to plug losses.

Surprised the trust lasted as long. And surprised by the lack of scrutiny from the fans as to what's going on. The vision of a consortium with wide shoulders and the welfare of the club front and centre has been destroyed from within. I'm not in the know. But what is clear is PH is no team player. He will get his way whatever it costs. The main question now is what happens to the tens of thousands of pounds the trust and others spent buying Wotherspoon's shares.
