You wont get that until we are 9 points clear again. If it is all going pear shaped, Mr Invisible won't hold it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokeville Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 When is this Q&A with Mr Deans, be great to hear what is going on at the club. Last month but never happened. So much for the promised transparency. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip, certainly he has been very quiet since things went wrong last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Kk was excellent to start with but in recent times seems to have lost his way a bit. These kind of jobs to me should be changed regularly or people tend to run out of ideas. I'd heard he'd been offered a job elsewhere at a top flight club but they couldn't match his wages at us incredibly enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zbairn Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Just had an interesting text from a friend of mine :- "I have written to Chairman indicating after 50 years will not be renewing my season ticket and the rest I do. His reply stick with us we are pulling together to get this right, my arse it is." I'm not condoning his stance, but Interesting to see what other fans are thinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumour was it was Hibs a couple of seasons ago... but the club offered him a Directorship to stay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairn in Exile Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 So, as things stand: We have a Sporting Director who doesn’t seem to cut the mustard An untried head coach A squad of only 14 signed players (jobbers) Promised additional investment for the club from Rawlins (£200k?) not been delivered £600k of additional investment declined A Club Ambassador has left the club A successful Commercial Director has resigned Promised transparency of club affairs not happening. . . . . . . . . #ItsBeingSoCheerfulThatKeepsMeGoing 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Caractacus Potts Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 When will the rigorous interview process for a new commercial manager start? Presume that will now take up all of their time. There’s something seriously wrong with our club. Looking in to Gary Deans more. Been on Twitter since early 2015 and only seems to have tweeted about Falkirk 5/6 times before becoming chairman based on 3 things and that was for the Cup final in 2015, the playoff final the year later and Peter Houston winning manager of the year. Only Falkirk affiliated page he follows is the Back the Bairns page. How big a Falkirk fan is he? Not that it should matter entirely but he seems to make a big thing about that. I thought he was good news at first but from all I’m hearing I’m convinced he’s no better than those before him and the same old boardroom culture remains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your friend is being very premature. After 50 years during which he has seen some great times and some bad times, why would he give up now? Obviously, not a real fan but still very sad. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is now vitally important that the fans forum is held as soon as possible. Too many people working themselves up into a strop without really knowing what’s going on. GD needs to start communicating to the fans and start answering questions. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So somebody who has followed the club for 50 years is not a real fan? What a stupid comment to make. There is an idiom, "the straw that broke the camel's back". - heard of it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some think you should just happily roll up and accept any old shit the board serves us and do nothing about it. To me they are not the real fans as they obviously don't hurt enough to care about the way our club is being run.

The reason you are saying all this stuff is because we, the fans (fanatics) don’t know what’s going on. So far the new signings seem okay and most of the dross has been binned. Sheerin must be given a fair chance and I’m sure there will be lots of more signings to come. As I said earlier the lack of info from GD is causing panic. He needs to communicate now!!. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Beginning to remind me of George Craig's time as CEO when everyone who has worked their arses off for the club for years was suddenly treated like shit and resigned or fired. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the 6th of May in the Chairman’s open letter to fans. Question 1- why did you delay the Q and A? 2- Why did Totten leave? 3- Why did Kieran leave? 4- Why did you knock back £500k investment? 5- Why did the Crunchie guys condemn the board’s behaviour? 6- Why did you approach Hamilton if Sheerin was your target and why the delay in him signing with Aberdeen announcing first? 7- When will season ticket holders be offered a refund? 8- When will season tickets be released? 9- When will the new strip be released? 10- Where is CC52 FFC?

Um eh has done nothing to encourage anyone to buy a ST. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
