The other thing that strikes me a bit strange in all of this is that Park is lined up to do the same role at Falkirk as he was going to do at Sunderland. Surely the wage for both these roles is not the same given the difference in size/turnover of the two clubs...?? Also, this Toronto guy is clearly EDI - show us the deeds sunderland fan's evidence or piss off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggerG Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 3 hours ago, Toronto Black Cat said: Morning. Just a quick post to express my dismay at how underhand your board have acted here. If I've read this correctly it was the board who leaked the information to the national press. That in itself is massively unprofessional but to leak the specific story they did is clearly an attempt to turn fans against your fans group, and potentially rule them out of any future bid for the club. They've deliberately leaked a nothing story and kept the major 'indiscretions' to themselves to make it look like sour grapes from the fans consortium. Skillufully done but really despicable behaviour. I only hope it hasn't conned too many people. Best of luck. Eh, your fans forum, please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
some_guy Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 We must be BOB right enough, we were even mentioned in a BBC article! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49196823 Falkirk Their collapse has been pitiful. Five seasons ago they finished a credible fifth in the Championship behind Hearts, Hibs and Rangers. Four seasons ago they were second, topping Hibs on goal difference. Three seasons ago they were second again, three points ahead of Dundee United. Two seasons ago, they slumped to eighth, and last season the sorry demise ended in relegation. They won three league games at home all season. League One had better spark a recovery or Lord knows what might become of them. The early season goal-scoring of Declan McManus must give them some heart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might even launch some at this post if you like. Good point m9. The shouty sweary abuse certainly outnumbers my other contributions to the thread right enough. I doubt it outnumbers instances of boring drivel from yourself though. You really are a broken record. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 DD was to take 7 to 10 days. In my reckoning we should know a bit more by Monday or is that just being over optimistic? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was shit but quite fun to watch (aka he ran around a lot). One of the few goals I remember clearly from recent years was Olu absolutely destroying some Cowdenbeath boy and feeding it through for Sheps to score (his only senior goal?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronto Black Cat Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Shagger. Google 'Sunderlands fan forum' and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for. I haven't looked at, let alone posted on one, for at least 5 years. They were utterly toxic and rife with bullying back then. God knows what they're like now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mic_17_uk Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Morning mic17. Well no that particular part of the document obviously referred to Sunderland. I assume your fans group have done their own digging on the back of that. I'm not sure what you mean by the second part. Board name? Username? Of who? You've lost me. What bit then? The documents prepared for Sunderland fans over a month ago said documents had been passed to the Falkirk BoD last weekend?

mic_17_uk Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Is the quoted 7-10 days correct to cover the DD ? I was hoping it could be concluded asap and then we will know which direction we will be going, its been one cycle after another on a subject that wont go till it moves on and the DD will at least take us away from a big part of the current cycle. Thankfully the football will take a percent of this talk away till the DD results MC said today on twitter he was still confident it would be completed in this timescale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
