QP's in my DNA

McKinstry thinks he's the best manager he's ever had.

https://www.teamtalk.com/birmingham-city/leading-race-scottish-sensation-birmingham-likely-first-summer-signing-revealed This is what happens when your U18s do well, given our recent problems at centre back I'm surprised he's not been given a chance at first team level.

https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/billy-stark-set-to-retire-from-role-as-scotland-mens-under-19-head-coach/?rid=13925 Would like to wish BIlly well in his retirement, definitely one of our best managers

Just like to add my thanks to BYOS for taking the time to update us on the AGM, and subsequent posts on clarity. Just as we're being positive about our new first team coach, let's hope the changes within the committee are just as positive.

You said it........... "entitled to nothing".......but who knows, maybe Haughey paid her to go.

I think given time and a tightly controlled budget, Callum Davidson is just what we need at this moment in time. If he keeps us in the Championship that'll be more than good enough for me, given our trajectory under Veldman these last few months. I think the comments from Saints fans has been given genuinely, in that we shouldn't expect too much instant success from CD. Compare those comments with the praise heaped on Dempster from HIbs and M'well fans when she arrived with us. Talking of squandering money, Dempster inherited a healthy bank balance when she arrived. Most of which has been spent on a glorified "Punch and Judy Booth" for our esteemed blazers. NO mention of that from her in her leaving statement concerning her list of achievements.

With all the opinions given so far in favour of and against, Davidson. I'd like to point out that the last manager we got on the rebound from the Perth Saints, was none other than Billy Stark. For me the Stark days were our finest, and all done with no transfer budget. If Davidson can improve us on the field as Billy did, that'll do me.

Did anyone else notice this part of the official Club statement about the upcoming Women's team game at the City Stadium. Seems we can forget about any future increase to the ground's capacity, it's official, in terms of our capacity, we're a L2 team. "It will be an historic day for our Women’s team as the cup tie will mark the first time the squad have played at The city Stadium since the redevelopment has been completed." And we are all aware of how the committee have looked after themselves first , and will continue to be able to lord it over the rest of us in their outrageous "Concrete Bunker".

Well I'm gonnae take the bull by the horns, or should that be grasp the nettle, and suggest the only solution to having a knowledgeable and trustworthy individual in the Head Coach positionin time for this Saturday. For me it's got to be "Beardy" , you know that nice QP fan, who appeared on the BBC's QP snapshot, replying with his catchphrase " I'm your man" Anyone who thinks they can do any better should either stand up and be counted, or forever "haud yer wheest"

It looks to me like Veldman told the blazers where to stick their job, and has gone back to the easy life along with his mentor Beuker. That would explain the emotionless statement that he has gone. The blazers running our club don't have the collective ability, let alone the will to make such a sudden decision 30 mins after the match has ended. The ball is now directly in Lord Haughey's court. It'll be interesting to see what his next move is. He came to the club with the best of intentions, to preserve the "history" of the club and keep the home of Scottish Football in Glasgow. It's obvious the committee don't have a clue, given their abject failure in building themselves a "Luxury Bunker" on the largest terracing out of the fours sides, and relegating the fans to 4 rows of seats and a capacity akin to Junior Football. If Haughey has the balls, he should get rid of the main cause of all this malaise ie our Invisible CEO, and allow the blazers to sink or swim with what they've got left. If we the ordinary fans are lucky we'll have a ground fit for L2 and the ability to be self sustainable to avoid the trapdoor.

The writing's been on the wall for some time now. Sadly our Committee and CEO are dyslexic.

I just wonder where this fits in with "blazers plans ???? I must admit his role was low key, I'd forgotten he was at the club. https://queensparkfc.co.uk/gardner-speirs-leaves-queens-park/

It's not only Beuker that left because of the committee's lack of ambition, but I'd put Owen Coyle in that category too. This sums up our club's failings off the park. It's simply down to an amateur committee. Fans on here quite rightly express their opinions on Queens seriously aspiring to get to the Premiership, that's never been my own belief. As BYOS says above , the objective of not only the committee but also of Haughey, was to avoid the trap door and stabilise in the upper first division. Owen Coyle created a "meltdown" in the committee's plans by showing how good management could allow us to dream beyond their abilities to rebuild Lesser. In all the talk of compensation for Beuker going, I would imagine the committee's main plan now is to erect a covered walkway from the Club offices direct to their "Vanity Bunker" so that their blazers don't get wet. As for the rest of us............well we all know what they think of those outside their own inner circle.

That for me is his one big flaw. I do believe in his his initial intention in stepping in with the balance of funds to purchase Hampden, in effect for the SFA, was as he stated at the time to prevent the SFA from moving their headquarters to Edinburgh, and to maintain the history of Queen's Park and Hampden remained in Glasgow. In appointing Dempster to oversee the running of his investment, has been a disaster IMO. If we believe Haughey's latest newspaper statement that she is responsible for the decisions to be made concerning Beuker's future employment. She is then apparently responsible for the costs involved in the scrapping of the initial plan for a 1900 seater stadium at Lesser, with stands on the west and east terraces, to include the blazers to be seated in front of the social club. She is then apparently responsible for the subsequent court case with the initial builders that resulted in the judge awarding us to pay £800,000 in damages. She is also then apparently responsible for the farce that is the Blazers being allowed to build themselves an outrageous carbuncle of a "Royal Box" for their own exclusive use, despite the fact that they are not owners of anything, but elected by the members as custodians of the clubs history. She is also responsible for the debacle that is the rebuilding program for Lesser, which has now proven to be not fit for purpose. Yet she has allegedly been successful with her two previous clubs, Hibs and Motherwell, yet her profile amongst the club's lifeblood, ie the supporters, is non-existant. I can only think that her previous clubs held her more accountable for her actions which then influenced her decision making. Somehow, Haughey, believes her to be infallible. As all of the above listed responsibilities have been with Haughey's approval, we can only assume he is really in it for the long haul as he has stated from day one. He is reported as having stated his aim was for us to be self sustaining at Lesser, after his initial financial support for the first team squad is over. That will never happen while we are "visiting" at Hampden. What makes the whole Lesser building fiasco, under Dempster's control, all the more difficult to swallow; is the fact that Haughey's fortune has been made in the construction industry.

Let's hope that if it was actually Haughey himself that negotiated Beuker's 10 year deal, that he'll negotiate a severance deal that allows us to make Lesser fit for purpose.
