GeordieBairn Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 How can anyone have a go at the BtB guys? If anyone has the club at heart it's them. The plug needs to be pulled on this shambles instantly. It is laughable to me that anyone could think this is a good idea.So leaking the info to the sun of all rags is a good idea? Definitely should have kept it within the club. Good to bring up these concerns but not on social media or to the worst paper going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaking the story to the sun is enough to fail due diligence imo. or they have potentially saved the club for getting into bed with someone they should stay clear off, would you rather not know if there was anything off with MC. Lets just wait until more info comes out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the BTB guys have admitted sharing concerns with the sun which has led to this story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Fair enough if they have legit concerns. Get it fucking telt tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just wait until more info comes out. If the BTB guys have concerns and evidence then 100% they are correct to share them with the club. We all at the end of the day want the best for FFC. I don't think, on the face of it, making a public statement like this is a good idea though. Just my opinion. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalWolf Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/4547431/john-park-celtic-falkirk-move/ I assume this is the story that everyone is getting excited about How is this not unexpected? Would you start a job for a club when you work for someone who hasn't bought the business out? I know I wouldn't. Once the take over is signed sealed and delivered is when I'd expect him to take up the role. The only thing he might be doing is thinking about what we need to sign, but again as said those won't go through until after the take over is signed, and the players he identifies now might have new clubs by then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we (fans most of who backed BtB financially) are clueless as to whether this is a mountain or a molehill and even further away from clarity over the future of the club. A little information isnt always better than none 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 As I said earlier. They were damned if they did speak and damned if they didn’t. This situation is not of their making. They have sent the info to the club for them to look at and said that is it. I say it again the decision to roll out the red carpet on Monday was just wrong before everything was concluded. Jesus I am sick of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic_17_uk Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 it's a lot lot harder to hound out an absent owner whose hiding out back in the US if it all goes sour. There's no way he is moving to Edinburgh anyway and leaving behind his coffee empire in Manhattan, besides he's needed there as Wee Chad can only work weekends and every second Tuesday and isn't allowed to drive the van. That's fair. I've heard Chad is an absolute liability around spring break time. He's also called 'wee' ironically, related as he is to Hulk Hogan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) Absolutely incredible that some of our fans are now having a go at BtB. Already taken in by this guy and giving the MSG the benefit of the doubt in all of this. Something’s not right. I trust and back BtB 100% on this.

Rugster Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Just now, Back Post Misses said: I say it again the decision to roll out the red carpet on Monday was just wrong before everything was concluded. This is the crux of the matter I think. Yet again it's been proven that the absolute fucking eejits masquerading as the custodians of our club couldn't run a piss up in a brewery. Parading this guy before the due diligence was done was just asking for trouble and the egg on face from this alone will f**k up any semblance of credibility we have left. It's like selling your house and telling all the other buyers to f**k off before the purchaser has concluded missives. Morons. All of them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I've no issue with the BtB statement tbh. Surely MC didn't think he'd just be able to swan in to the club and do what he liked unchallenged? Will be interesting to see exactly what their concerns are 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieBairn Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Clearly someone at the club leaking it to the sun, Kenny said it wasn’t them. Apologies guys xx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PipoIsABairn Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 This isn't really based on much but I just don't trust this guy. As with most things in life it all seems way too good to be true and something about it just doesn't add up. We have no debt and i'm concerned about whether his intention is to use the club as leverage against future debts with regards to these business venture ideas. Sure there are no assets currently to strip but if he puts the club into debt, sells off the assets he used the debts to finance and leaves without paying off the debts, which are linked to the club and not him, doesn't that leave us utterly screwed? I'll freely admit I don't really know too much about this stuff and am 100% not itk but this seems like a possibility and I can't see any other reason he'd plough the amounts of money being discussed into Falkirk. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_bairn Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I guess alot of fans like me have sat back pessimistic but stayed muted. Fair fucks if BTB uncover the football equivalent to Fyre Festival but this statement is discredited by mentioning the Sun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 My only issue with the BtB statement is that I think they would have been correct to lay out their concerns. They are after simply a body to represent us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
