I can't speak for the management team, or infer what they might think of recent changes, or people, or do anything which might even hint at betraying a confidence. Instead I'll just give you a smile. Have a nice day knee jerk. I've always considered you one of the more sensible posters on this forum. Keep posting mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I've tended to support the board and blame Hartley for last season but am thinking of going to see if there will be any background information on why decisions were taken, and how we have ended up where we are and where things are heading ie, takeovers etc. It could be an interesting, informative and lively meeting! My favourite part of the PH appointment is after the club telling us about the 100+ applicants we go out and just pick the guy we wanted who didn't even apply. Basically confirms what I've always suspected In These situations. We set a period for applications and shortlist that down for interviews but it's all shite for show. We are gonnae go out and give the job to the guy the board likes long b4 the 1st CV arrives. Edited July 10, 2019 by Gaz FFC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPar Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 1 hour ago, knee jerk reaction said: This is true, the same board were in charge when we were getting to play offs, beating rangers, and the Scottish cup final but there were no protests then. No-one wanted hartley out this time last year or seen last season coming but the board apparently should have somehow! Everything is a reaction to on the pitch and that responsibility is the managers, saying that doesn't change the fact that a lot of bridges have been burned and change at the top would (probably) be a good thing for us now. You keep parroting this nonsense, it never, ever becomes any truer. You've been provided with a long, long list of reasons why supporters have had enough of this mob. None of them have anything to do with performance on the pitch. You continually chose to stick your head in the sand and ignore them, that's up to you. You have no right whatsoever to speak for anyone as to their reasons for not attending matches or refusing to buy a season ticket. You appear to have one supporter at least - that weird little QOS sad case who hangs about here 24/7 begging for attention like an ignored puppy. It's really not a good place to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not a good place to be.Ultimately performances on the pitch do affect how much fans are prepared to let the board away with, there's no two ways about that.Having said that, had we had a decent season under Hartley (that ended with anything other than promotion) the majority of us would still be vocally calling for the board's head due to the multitude of reasons listed. Would it be going as far as a boycott? Who knows, but it doesn't actually matter, because the facts are that their incompetence has driven us down the leagues and wedged a divide between the club and the fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not a good place to When we got to the cup final and had a worldwide stage wonder why there wasn't a massive sack the board protest then? Would've had maximum effect. Do you honestly believe if hartley backed by allegedly our biggest ever budget (terrible a board acting like that and supporting a manager) had got more like Nelson and the jak from the english reserves instead of lewis and we'd gone up instead of down fans would be boycotting? Again if people thought the board really did think we were racists and it wasn't just a badly worded statement then why didn't people stop going then, why no talk of even boycotting the club shop, not buying 50/50 tickets etc? Why only when we went down did protest really start if it's not to do with how we perform on the pitch? You could be right, I don't know everyone's reasons for renewing or not renewing, I could be grabbing the wrong end of the stick (wouldn't be the first time!) but that's the way I see it. I'd like us now to go forward with the fan's bid and the team to totally destroy this league COYB. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I remember of that was an interview with, I think, Martin Ritchie after he was appointed. MR said that the board unanimously agreed that he was the best candidate of all the interviewees. It later transpired that the fan board rep member was against him, but still allowed his name to be used as an endorsement of the new manager rather than speaking out against a false board statement. Also interviewed, according to the Herald at the time, were Steve Staunton, John McGlynn, Russel Latapy, Colin Cameron & Stuart Balmer. I'm sad enough to keep a note of such things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your probably right at that one, would like to see Joe have a shot at the job though think he would be a good appointment when the time comes either that its the usual suspects that do the rounds when managers get sacked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
