mic_17_uk Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Someone mentioned financial fair play. Does that apply to us? Is stadium naming one way around that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything is better than the deal we have with the council. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Anyone got a link to this mail order coffee company's website? Must be pretty high profile and easy to find if it gives you 7m disposable income to sink into a League One Scottish football team. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy allegedly grew up in England , someone will know about his character / history etc . I’m convinced Bairns minded sleuths cover the UK and can undertake the kind of due diligence we really need . Who is he what’s his background and how trust worthy is he. ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a new company, at least in the UK, with 4 directors, and I doubt he'd bother if it was about one cafe in New York. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulioBairn Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I might be wrong but I’m not seeing any dirt with any substance being thrown up. Sometimes good things happen to clubs and maybe this is our turn? If he’s true to his word we are about to embark on a really exciting time. If not then we aren’t really in a place where we’ve got much to lose. If all he does is get rid of the terrible 6 and bring John Park to our club then he’s already improved us. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Suffering Bairn Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I am generally positive about the new developments. I must admit though it is unsettling there is apparently no on-line trail of his activities in New York. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is all about the land around the stadium then surely it doesn't matter a f**k if we're in the top league or the seasides...?

I suppose its easier when its a new ground as there is no real heart strings plucked of the name you have had for less than 10 or so years.

When we play Livi away I don't ever ask my mates if they're going to the xxxxxxxxx. I just ask if they're going to Livi. But I'm not a complete melt. Folk use a ton of different names for our stadium already with Bairnabeu, Westfield, TFS and Brockville all getting used regularly. If he wants to make a few quid calling it something only the media will ever use then knock yourself out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Kelevra Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 We need a fourth stand, we need a completed stadium. We need to look like proper football club. An open end is disgrace. If this guy builds us a fourth stand and nothing else, he’ll be a bone fide Falkirk hero in my eyes. I can also see why the MSG went for this guy over BTB, we all need hope, not 1500 people making up the Sandy Alexander soft loan money 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BountyBairn Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 For Bairnardo For me the biggest risk we are exposed to is no improvement on the football side, and opportunity lost on the real estate side. Here’s why I feel this way: 1. The investment potential in our club, purely relates to the developable land. If the club ever sells that land or gets into a bad deal regarding its usage then that’s a huge opportunity stolen from us. The land has residual value, it would get an instant uplift from just getting planning consent. The club could make money out of just selling land and splitting a planning gain. But ideally you want to own the asset that gets put on it and earn forever on the income it can generate. 2. The no improvement thing is highly unlikely , I would say but a possibility none the less. As with the current owners, as he has the majority stake you couldn’t even force him to put money in from club revenue. All in the very little to loose here. The question is really this. Do we believe that this guy has a greater ability to implement the development of the stadium as strategic advantage for the club, and is is more able to speculatively fund the football side of the business than the incumbents. For me the incumbents have proven unable to achieve these crucial points. So I’d be inclined to give full support to Mark Campbell’s consortium. That being said, thought he’s unlikely to agree to a similar dilution of control, there must still be a play for BtB to act as a fans body with representation on his new board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
