AL-FFC Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I still think the stuff going wrong on the park is down to Holt more than Sheerin, if he had said anything at that Q&A he would have been throwing Holt under the bus and would have gave him an even worse working environment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Rawlins have had very little criticism so if this is them bailing out already I'm glad we found out now and not further down the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zbairn Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 This could just be the catalyst to get the fans and club back together again. The divide has been getting wider and wider. Now might be the time to build the bridges if the right guys are in place. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudBairn Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Thats a turn up for the books!Who was the younger guy was with the glasses? I didnt feel he came across well at the q and a either? His arrogance was of the scale.The Rawlins leaving is embarrassing, and really has pissed me off. They were obviously full of hot air, and had no real desire to improve the club. Fan ownership is the only way forward! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGPar Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Maybe I'm missing something, but that statement says nothing about Rawlins selling their shareholding, just that they are leaving the board. We already have large shareholders who are not members of the board, sitting very much in the background, hands off whilst the club falls apart. So perhaps these two will be happy to do the same? What a massive disappointment they have proved to be, complete non-event after some initial optimism. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbri Bairn Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 What we need now is solid investment and from where is the question. A big moment in our history which could be very tricky if the right investment is not found and quick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may come in time. ....but then you have to ask ...who would want to buy 26% of the club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only logical reason I can think of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish them the best if they do step in though. What bit more transparency did you want? You knew how much, you knew what the group wanted to do, you know that vision didn’t suit the Board. Whatever happens now the real key IMO is unity. We have all spent years of squabbling and look we’re the club is now. Let’s hope we can get that now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, so if their intention is to sell, surely their interests would be better served by remaining on the board, where they can have a direct influence on the agreement of any transaction? I've long since accepted that I will never be remotely clever enough to grasp the labyrinth and twisted machinations of the Falkirk FC boardroom, and whilst the departure of the poisonous Deans and Colborn is very welcome, this still does not have the feel of anything remotely like the seismic change that I think is needed to finally move forward i.e. completely fresh investment and majority ownership, the likes of Alexander and Ritchie off the scene in their entirety and the key football positions filled with staff who have some sort of track record in their respective roles. Or is the AGM going to be yet another exercise on rearranging deckchairs and pals stepping down only to be replaced by more incompetent pals ? I really hope not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooBairn Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Absolutely tremendous news that. Let’s see if the Navy Blue group were actually serious and return with an offer now or if it was just a way to ruffle feathers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 f**k the Rawlins if they are scarpering already. Delighted to see mouthpiece Deans gone too after that shambolic performance the other week. I know theres an element of the unknown at play here but equally, i'd rather be able to walk into to TFS with a square conscience to see us get relegated than feel like I had to stay away from my club and watch these fucking idiots burn it down from the inside. Holt next. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Perhaps the Rawlings first visit to Falkirk was enough. Can just see Mrs Rawlings saying feck that I'm not going back there on a regular basis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ecosse83 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Holt will be desperately looking for employment elsewhere now. Can’t see him lasting long at all! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
