It was obvious before
Let’s just read @Jackie Myles posts now to get a better understanding of DM’s grievances
.
Also Board Directors are bound by confidentiality before and after they are on the board. Asking and possibly trusting the worst secret agent in the history of P&B isn’t good judgement is it.
Definitely no secret agent I've never received any of this info from board members past or present. There are others in and about the club you know. People can take it as they see it and can either be concerned or not that's entirely up to them. I just wish we could get a club where we weren't constantly discussing board room issues and people leaving/resigning. Things appear to be looking up a bit on the park I just hope they won't be derailed by issues off it. I think picking the correct next fss rep is going to be crucial though. Question is given the turnover of reps will we have a decent choice?

Where is it available to buy as can’t see it advertised anywhere and I don’t appear to have the email that was advertising it.
Also the corporate hospitality presuming the drinks package included is £30/match extra as it is with the VIP boxes then that would also equate to £1440/season but without the benefit of sitting in the directors box. I am ofcourse presuming the Premier Club includes complimentary drinks?
Should it not be renamed the league one club as well?

Would you mind spelling it out to me in that case, I’ve obviously missed it. Just put in black and white what we the perceived issue is please.
The 'perceived' issue is that the bod has a voting clique which has been created and is preventing the fss director from having any influence or say in matters. This perhaps wouldn't be such a great issue if the club had been on a sound financial footing but that is far from the case and the voting clique has just seen the guy on the bod tasked with sorting this financial mess out resign. Now if the guy in charge of finances is being ignored it doesn't bode well in my opinion and the appointment of an independent chairman would hopefully improve things in the short term.

Not sure I get where you are going.
The board members are all on other social media platforms, why would they need someone to report back what a small pool of 20/30 Bairns fans have said on here? Twitter & FB both carry far higher numbers of fans with a far higher number of comments about the club. Yes?
Edited to add - they even watch/listen to podcasts I believe
.
You'd need to ask them that.

I am a member and I don’t see the FSS in that way in the slightest so I’ll respectfully disagree with your opinion here, I think you are wrong. Having two reps on such a small board is quite considerable clout, especially for the current level of shareholding. If there are individual issues where the two guys are outvoted by the other 4 on the board then that’s inevitable in a board room situation, we have to trust which ever consensus the people we have put in place decide upon and make it work, they will stand or fall by that. Incidentally what exactly is the “issue” you mention here? I am not aware of there being one as nobody has stated specifically other wise, all we have had is some smoke and gossip created on an anonymous online forum without any actual substance.
Zbairn highlighted the issue perfectly a few pages back.

BPM our resident spy walking into the Falkirk boardroom and exclaiming “You won’t believe what I’ve just read on P&B”.
Nah not BPM.

As far as I am aware every single member on the board is trying to “fix” the club as you put it and up to this point I’ve been impressed with how they have started to turn things around, I wasn’t aware that DM was carrying the full thing on his own shoulders with the rest of the guys sitting about picking there nose but if you have evidence of this please do tell?! In reality this will be a storm in a tea cup, the FSS will elect a new member to sit on the BOD and the world will keep spinning. Falkirk fans do seem to love a drama, if we are struggling to find something to have a moan about at any given point by god somebody will find something somewhere!
Where did I say anyone was doing nothing? I've no doubt they are all putting in a lot of work it's who decides what they are working on that's the issue here. If you're a member of fss you want your group to have real influence and not to be seen as just some monthly fund provider of extra dough.

Spy on the Falkirk Pie and Bovril forum.

One of a few rumours doing the rounds.
More likely to get him perhaps even after the transfer window has shut but the loan market is still open. If he hasn't had much game time they may let him go elsewhere even though neilson has so far stated he isn't going anywhere.

Bit paranoid to suggest there is a spy in our midst feeding back to board especially when information on this thread is open to every Tom, Fife and Harry
Of course anyone can come on and read it themselves but it's a bit different when you've been given the job of doing it specifically.

Interesting all the sides going on here!
In one we have the friends of the outgoing FSS director making vague accusations of discord in the board and being liked by all the ex board stirrers and trying to keep the unrest going.
In another, we have acquaintances of current insiders (or really balanced people) trying to get over we don't know the facts and trying to calm it down.
Then most of the rest either unaware or don't want to say.
It's a shame, as all the good debate and posters are going missing while this is fought out.
Pretty embarrassing really in my view.
I'm sure some people would love to say more about a number of things but there's at least one poster on here that will just report back to the board everything that's been said in the same way they've been doing for a while now. .

I’m not assuming anything regarding the Douglas Moodie resignation gossip, I’m not even presuming there has been some kind of “disagreement” yet and nor should anybody else be to be honest, in fact I actually think him stepping down is most likely storm in a tea cup type stuff that shouldn’t really detract from the bigger picture. I was merely responding to another post regarding running the club by consensus and how it should work which in my opinion is totally correct, we are heading toward majority fan ownership and no single shareholder or director should presume they’re opinion out weighs that of the collective.
We have 400 oddfans though paying in upwards of a tenner month which is a decent amount of cash for the club. That allows us to vote on two reps to give us influence in the way the club is run and the decision making process. Now running the club via consensus is fine as long as you don't end up in the situation mentioned earlier where a voting clique occurs and some directors are then sidelined and the fss ends up having little or no influence at all and the club is simply treating it as a means of extra funds every month. Let's not forget that the club is still teetering on the brink of going bust and we've just lost the guy trying to fix that side of things. If your not concerned then you really should be.

Quite disappointed in this statement, actually seems to fuel the rumours of discord rather than clarifying the situation.
Major coverup that. How can telling us what happened add to the speculation for god's sake?What's the point in having a fans organisation of they wont tell you anything. What next? The clubs going bust but with respect to the board we didn't tell anyone. Feck me.

Playing devil's advocate here..... but if you have one or two directors forming a clique and getting their mates involved (who are not Directors), it might just p**s off the others who have been voted on by the FSS. Then you have a hostile atmosphere that descends into chaos !
We have just come out from that scenario with previous BoD's.... let's hope we are not moving back in that direction !
I think you've got it spot on mate unfortunately.

Seems like by far and away the most likely scenario to me.
Certainly the simplest that requires no conspiratorial speculation to back it up.Well it definitely has hee haw to do with that in this case.

Clearly something has gone on to lead to Doug’s resignation, which I’m sure will come out in the fullness of time.
There has been an unusual number of resignations over the last few months and the lack of stability with the FSS positions is particularly concerning.
Personally I’d like to see an independent chairman (who is not a patron) come in to provide a bit of leadership and accountability.
I agree an independent chairman would be a good idea . I'm sure this was originally mooted when the patrons first approached the club but not sure why it's never got off the ground.

I didn't and don't know Doug Moodie personally but the fact he's liking people's negative posts on the facebook announcement for me shows he probably wasn't cut out for it. I don't have a clue what's went on but that screams of petulance and we really don't need that in our boardroom at the moment.
From memory there were two candidates for the FSS director position when Doug won the vote so maybe the other candidate will step forward again. I also didn't know the other candidate but I'm sure he was retired so would maybe have a lot more time to give.
Negative or accurate? Until fss let the members know what's gone on to lead to him resigning we won't know.

As said no expert in running a football club, and my comment simply referred to the bod guys maybe having difficulty finding time. What was the set up before the new bod were appointed.
We're not really any different from every other club I would think. Probably having to put in more time just now to get the mess left by the last lot sorted out but I can easily see it consuming a decent amount of anyone's time.

This is an over reaction. I've just had a look at the Facebook comments and given Mr Moodie appears to be a relatively clever man, I'm very surprised to see him acknowledge any Facebook comments immediately after stepping down. It just fuels the speculation and is not a very professional approach.
It certainly quashes the idea that this resignation was simply down to a change of circumstances thats for sure. As you said fss need to clear the matter up and explain exactly what's gone on and perhaps it would be useful if the guy stepping down was allowed to explain his reasons to the members himself. At the last nomination for the fss bod rep the only person to put their name forward was the boy that had just been in the post so it's a worry that we could struggle to get a second rep.

I haven't got any personal interest and I don't know anyone on the new board but ffs if someone can point out anywhere in this statement where it suggests anything untoward has happened enlighten me ? because unless your Nostradamus or Mystic Meg or a personal friend of Doug, all there is is speculation and rumour. You can also look at the posts suggesting that something has happened behind the scenes can be someone with an axe to grind , I honest to f**k wish that One F was still here as that sort of sh*t negativity, gossip, rumour sh*t stirring was rife on there, they've just swapped platform and drag it onto here. There are some I think would be happy for what's being put in place or what's changing to fail just so they can say GIRFUY, Even folk questioning McGlynn after 1 game ffs.
"We can announce that Doug Moodie has stepped down as Falkirk Supporters’ Society representative on the board of Falkirk FC.We would like to thank Doug for all his efforts during his time on the board.
We will now consult with FSS about recruiting a replacement for Doug, and an announcement regarding this will be made in due course. "
Coming on here now is like the merchants of doom for all things FFC, the seats aren't blue enough, the new striker is shit before anyone has seen the lad in action, even questioning McGlynn after 1 game the mans been straddled with last years failures and having to make do until the imposters contracts run out but even at that its still an upgrade on the past 2 years.
I certainly have no axe to grind and have only been positive in my backing of the new board. However, take a look on Facebook and the post mentioning the resignation on the Falkirk football club page. The following post ' Worrying turn of events. All is still not well behind the scenes it would appear.' has been liked by the guy whose just resigned. Now I'm no Sherlock Holmes but that doesn't bode well in mind.

I’d be taking stuff like this read on here with a massive pinch of salt unless the person posting is actually prepared to substantiate it.
That of course is your perogative mate no problem with that. I'd be exactly the same. All I can say is I'm concerned about things and I'm not the only one.

Can a Patron resign? Didn’t they simply all shell out £10k for shares in their own names with no obligatory strings attached?
They're a group who vote two members on to the board so I'm sure they must have some kind of membership regime surely.

How do you know it’s this, it could be his own personal circumstances have changed and he can’t commit the time required.
I was told it certainly wasn't through a change of circumstance. Heard from someone that the boys resigned as a patron too but I can't confirm that. Concerning though.

Got to be a concern another director jumping ship due to circumstances behind the scenes. Just when you think we're getting somewhere too
