The governance of our club will play a huge role in how we progress in the future. A good example is Fulston..... we won the league with him but it came crashing down very quicky with Back the Bairns stepping in to keep the club running. Yep... great football is probably 100% of fans priority...... but for some, particularly those who have lived through the Deans and Fulston times, the way our club is run and it's future wellbeing is also is very important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 If we are successful on the park most of the happy clappers will not bother what is happening behind the scenes but the disease is still there just in remission. They need to gtf let's not forget it's their fault we are in the state we are. As long as there is disconnect between the club and fans on this club won't be a success unless we are all singing from the same hymn sheet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad who told me what is happening is genuinely very much involved and not a spinner of fairy tales. Really not looking good. Fair enough. Wasn’t claiming any info was false, simply just never seen this many before. Very worrying indeed the information thats been spread so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it would matter. Until we are at least battling for promotion back to the premiership, we are grossly under performing as a result of decisions taken in the background. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then he’s not got enough for the Championship. League One is probably his limit ability wise. He’s better than Durnan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don’t the fans group who’s money seems to have been flat out rejected come together and release an official statement? That isn’t a criticism of them, just a “why doesn’t it happen?” query. For me these allegations are something our whole support should be aware of. Instead it’s confined to the 5% of the support who read Pie and B. If we want real change more people must know. I did mention this about 20 pages back but everyone was far more interested in chatting about whether or not we should be charging boys to come on trial or not. These are incredibly worrying times for the club. We are being run by complete numpties backed by some punter we don't know from Adam who is now running the club like it's his. Anyone with the club at heart would not have any issues with local fans investing decent money and gaining proper influence on the board. However, they are not going to invest if they are going to be continually out voted by Deans's cabal who have invested the square root of hee haw. Yes this group wanted influence on the new manager selection but that's because there are individuals with a long history of football in this group. It's not just punters who think they know it all after years of playing football manager. It's very much looking like the only way forward is to starve these people out our club. There is no plan b if we want to see a bright future without deans, Holt and the rest of these charlatans.

AL-FFC Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I honestly think its more down to stubbornness that SA and MR wont f**k off from the club. As mentioned its probably a good thing fans dont pick managers but the same time the amount of times SA and MR have called it wrong defies belief. Lang doing CC bidding and trying to justify the axing of the academy and LM trying to f**k the Rawlings offer up and sell his shares to At and Gowser and bring back Lang into the fold just typing that ;last bit answered my own question. Whilst i dont think they are as bad as Deans and Fulston they are every bit as culpable of the demise with them being 2 stubborn auld b*stards who want the plaudits when it goes right (been a while since that happened) but take f**k all blame when it goes pear shaped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 They want fan investment through ST money but not to have fans invest and have any say in the running of the club. Time for all fans to let them know how we feel and not give the c***s a penny. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How more hurt can we be, we're in the 3rd tier FFS. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the recent collapse of the proposed investment from a consortium of fans SA and MR were both happy to dilute and donate they’re shareholding to allow the group to take a 26% holding therefore matching the share of the club the Rawlins own.They were happy to step aside for the right investor(s) and are not the problem, they weren’t involved in any negations other than allowing they’re large joint shareholding to be used for the sale, things broke down because the BOD headed up by the Rawlins wouldn’t bend with regards to a few of the red lines the group had regarding the running of the club, structure of the board and the process of appointing a new manager.

The problem is SA and MR can't bugger off from the club if the BoD won't let them sell their shares. There is a good argument that they have been part of the problem in the past..... but not at the moment ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Yeah, after years of renewing on blind hope, this will be the first year in 16 seasons for me that I won't be renewing. Enough is enough. We need more fans to do the same. The only thing they understand is money. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing is sure he isn’t as keen on genuine productive fan involvement and investment as he initially led us to believe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
