falkirkthebigclub Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Assuming we're heading back to square one... We don't need multi million pound investment, site development and all that other pish. We simply need someone running the club who can spend income, generated by having 4000+ fans in L1, in a way that will get us promoted this season. Get the fans-backed bid back on, get the Kenny Rogers unicorn coffee c**t tae f**k and clear out ALL of the current regime. Fuckng wankers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southstand_bairn Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 If we are dealing in the info available it looks like the whole massive bombshell uncovered is that john park wont start until the deal is done........then its leaked by the board. What kind of huge news is this? John Park would be off his head committing to anything other than that. If there is further info available through the due diligence then it needs to fully investigated and kept confidential until the point we can tell this guy to bolt. For things to be getting leaked is pretty poor and paints no one in a good light 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Tin foil hat time.... Could this be a big ruse, knowing that MC was dodgy, for the MSG tio try and claim they care about the club etc and try to paint themselves as saviours again? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mic_17_uk Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The only question mark for me is whether it’ll be Gomis or McShane but think he’ll go Gomis. The rest picks itself IMO. Bell Doyle, Buchanan, Durnan, Dixon Tidser, Gomis, Telfer, Connolly McManus, Sammon 4-4-2 DiamondRay was giving rave reviews about McShane after the Ayr game and he was really good at Berwick. Gomis undoubtedly gives the better defensive cover though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit of an odd way to reply. I can get him not commenting, but saying "unwise to comment" just has something off with it. It's like he's implying there are concerns that could be had and he doesn't know which ones have been found out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioBairn Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The statement tells us nothing and the story in the Sun tells us nothing. We’ve had days of people complaining they can’t find any info about Campbell anywhere and by all accounts he passed the EFL DD test but yet KJ manages to uncover some ‘potential concerns’. What is KJ’s experience in private investigation? Even this Toronto guy has come up with nothing substantial and they paid someone to look for dirt. My head hurts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine too, but the fault for the mess lies with the MSG who should have been unveiling to us a new owner, not an incomplete due diligence process. All Mark Campbell has done is put in an offer to take on something the MSG have said is for sale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm sure the Hibs takeover was done properly. i.e.they presented this new owner once everything was 100% complete. Very odd to announce this guy and let him talk to the media and fans before they know if he's a chancer or not. No idea how this will pan out now, what a fucking mess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus, Campbell's going to have to have his every tweet examined by lawyers and psychologists before pressing send. Think you might be reading a bit much into it.

Shadwell Dog Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I suppose it all depends on what the btb guys have come up with. Is it anything new? Is it anything we didn't know already. Are they simply trying to make sure that the bod/msg are carrying out due dilligence in the proper way and not missing anything? Sun story tells us nothing we didn't know already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HonestAl Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The Sun (on-line) has a story (31 July) on the John Park revelation (wont start working until money in place) and also a story (30 July, updated 22:51) containing the lines But it’s understood fans have voiced fears over the real estate mogul who failed in a bid to take over Sunderland FC. A source said: “Falkirk chiefs are now in possession of fresh information relating to Campbell’s past business interests.” I think it was the article 30 July that prompted the BtB statement, that they supplied the aforementioned information to MSG/BoD. The BtB DID NOT leak details to The Sun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL-FFC Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) Thing is a lot of this just comes across as differing perspective: BtB mention concerns to BoD/MSG MSG leak info to the media 2 ways to look at this 1. Sour grapes for not winning the bid 2. Found concerns and want to alert the MSG before more dealings are done. My view is Kenny done what was right if you want to point fingers at the story being leaked, then point it to the MSG (add it to the list of f**k ups to date) Other way to look at things is, for someone that is a Millionaire to stay under the radar for this long that's a difficutl ask, as i mentioned it is possible to have your name removed from all google results and only 3rd party like companies house etc would have his name. Just for once i would love to have the club portrayed in a positive light without f**king up evetything that goes near us, we seriously need someone competent in PR at the club but we cant get a full subs bench so there no chance of that.
