Raith Against The Machine Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Would you expect to see much instant impact from a new CEO? Would that position not be more focused on strategic direction and more medium-to-long term projects. I think you'd need at least a year to get a feel for the direction the club is heading in before really being able to make any sort of judgement. And as for "not particularly well liked", I have absolutely no idea I'd that's true or not, but everyone seemed to quite like our last CEO but he didn't know the rules of an organisation whose board he sat on, gave away a future Scotland international for free just because Rangers asked, oversaw some dreadful managerial choices and then sanctioned the loaning of our best player to a rival who subsequently helped relegate us. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 My post was a wee bit more accusatory than I intended. I am genuinely interested in what has changed at the club and what our new direction is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a short conversation to be fair but I left with a good impression. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I glean from his acquisitions. If anyone can get the best out of them then it’s John McGlynn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Vaughan in Gym64 today. No protection of any sorts on his knee. Mainly working on muscles around his knee and legs. Seemed in good spirits. Fingers crossed the injury isn't too bad. Spencer also in with boot on. Musonda also in seemed to be taking things lighter than the other two. Bit worrying TBH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he is probably as likely to score an own goal as a 'proper' goal for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t I have noticed a marked improvement in anything we do since she started. She's good at fleecing the fans for every last penny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent gesture Tx but one of the clubs own making, quite easily could have let punters bring in there own refreshments or opened the food kiosks, my point is valid, overpriced season tickets and £20 for a cup game on 12 midday on a Sunday is taking the piss 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the club consult Aberdeen about the possibility of a reduced price?, 2. Fair enough they are all to blame then, 3.

Michael W Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 The pricing is one thing, but the other thing striking me is communication and engagement that has been much poorer than the last couple of seasons. Not that this is entirely upon a CEO, but the difference is noticeable. The pricing for the Hamilton game being a prime example here of something badly handled. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
