And no I can't clarify that, for obvious reasons. The boycott is intended to hurt the club. If the custodians care about FFC, rather than only themselves - as they claim - then they'd consider if their presence was damaging it and whether it would be better for them to walk away. I believe some are willing to do that. Others think they know best and are enjoying their positions too much to contemplate slipping quietly off into the night. Oh, and can we please desist with the phrase "unpaid volunteers" when talking about the board? Someone who has the power to change the salaries, working hours & issue redundancy notices to FFC employees who've been there for decades should not have such an innocuous title. It's suitable for Jean, or the FFC TV guys, or the folk who sell raffle tickets, work in Hospitality or help out with kitman duties. It certainly doesn't apply to club Directors. 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF it's only Edi/LatapyBairn that does it ............and me when I laugh at him.

Hes not on the BOD, but its very probable that he is a patsy for one of them. Even their patsys are pathetic though. The fact that this idiot has been skelped at one time or another by almost all of us, with his posts routinely dismantled is symptomatic of the boards view that the fanbase lacks intelligence. They are going to get fucking destroyed at the EGM, since they have not sccounted for having to face up to intelligent, articulate fans who actually do want whats best for the club and who wont be hoodwinked. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The racism thing would have excited annoyance at the time, but would barely be getting mentioned now, had Hartley recruited skilfully, rather than calamitously last summer. Similarly, the academy decision would now be looking like a masterstroke. I'm not for a moment suggesting that the board have got lots right; they demonstrably haven't. However, I am saying that it's a dreadful on field season that's applied pressure now - a pressure that will ease if/when the team starts winning. We were fecking awful the year before too. Its not just one season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but it's taken an absolutely dreadful season with a serious consequence for things to kick off in this way. Again, I'm not suggesting this is unique to Falkirk, but a similarly disappointing season to the previous one would not have seen this outcry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 We've now been out the premier league 10 years. In that time we've challenged for the championship title once. We've had one dreadful managerial appointment after another whilst clubs like st mirren, livi and hamilton have managed to appoint managers that have seen them get promoted on smaller budgets. We've gone from having a thriving academy that kept the club alive and brought in sizeable sums of money to having no academy, no money in the bank despite having made a million pound plus profit a few seasons ago and after all that we are now in league one. The money spent shouldve been more than enough to see us challenge for promotion not get relegated. Add to that the complete and utter shambles off the park where fans have been treated as total shmucks . I fail to see how anyone can still back this bunch of complete clowns. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the shenanigans behind the scenes have instigated a lot of it though. The fan ownership plans were going forward before we got relegated so change was being pushed for anyway. The bod's subsequent stalling on that has seen a definite up surge in animosity towards them . If this had been carried through to its expected conclusion then protests wouldve never occurred. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AIUI - fans (including myself) were prepared to put extra money in monthly to a value of £800k initially but ongoing in return for a say in how the club was run. This was agreed by the board but then reneged upon. They then muddied the waters with pish about "other buyers" which is looking like a stalling tactic to get them to the start of this season. It's clear they don't want fan's involvement in the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 If Sheps is someone's idea of a charm offensive, God help them! But they would never try a charm offensive. They would deploy someone to plant lies, scaremongering, and generally praise the board/arrogantly dismiss criticism. That the person doing this on P&B is woefully inept at doing so, easily caught out, and routinely bodied is a perfect microcosm of the current board/fans dynamic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Wasn't Jim McIntyre offered the job before PH but turned it down? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
