Taxi for De Massis Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Jason Cummings may be looking for a club. Would it be worth a loan for that “joker”? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was maybe fine when the group wasn’t part of the board, for them to rustle up some money for the January transfer window and ask for it to be spent on 1 striker etc etc. But now that they’re a key part of the board I’m not sure they should be dictating what money gets spent where by the football side of the club? Very dodgy imo. I didn't think B4L were on the board though. Is it not FSS and the patrons who have reps? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think they should have a little bit of say if handing over that amount or be consulted on how the club plans to spend it. Obviously that day will be limited but if, for instance, they wanted Goodwillie then they should have the right to veto. That’s 2 years money. Nothing was given last year. They have around 160 members. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Christ maybe you’re right. I thought the Patrons (mid sized part of the 3 legged stool approach) swallowed up B4L. If that’s wrong then aye no problem at all with asking the money be spent on a specific position 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The football management would be unlikely to get into that kind of relationship with anybody in the board or not. They are given a budget and will be judged on how they use it. You wouldn't want a manager that would agree to that. The only way something like that might work is if the manager identified a player, maybe out with budget, and asked for donations to make up the wages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm finding it really hard to believe that folk are finding it hard to believe an accomodation could be reached here. Fans group: Here FFC, you wanting this money? We'll give you it but we really feel we need to use it on a striker? FFC: Well.... Since we couldn't score in a crack den, we accept your offer of bolstering the funds available to do something we desperately needed to do already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Garry can't tempt, let's say, maybe 14 or so strikers to sign but manages to attract a top class centre back, is the money handed back or can it be spent on the defender? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really doubt it, but coming out of this window without having added a striker to the pool is unthinkable so I doubt we'll have to cross this bridge. That said, if all it takes is 32k to load Hall and Mackay in the trebuchet, send me the justgiving link. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbri Bairn Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Getting rid of Hall and McKay whilst sounding good would leave us with zero central defenders. Think recruiting better players would be first option 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 9 hours ago, AL-FFC said: Given that the patrons and FSS are supporters you can pretty much guarantee they know the feeling towards Goodwillie any progress in the community and indeed the fans will be wiped out if Goodwillie signed even our Board wouldn't be that daft play off place or not. As for Holt I don't think it will be cut and dried with the just terminate his post or tell him he is canned even if he is a bawbag, With the NB group they wanted a precondition of Holt going before any negotiation (if i was read rightly to when the board stopped talks or whatever it was with the talks and precondition caper) Its probably been seen as a case of, yes the guy is toxic and yes he is probably overstepping his remit, so its now more than likely been a case of this is your job and what your responsible for and take any other remit he had away from him till he either gets bored and says am off or some other mug comes in and makes an offer to him. Maybe Holt won't sign our traditional NDA when we get rid of staff 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Can't make out what formation that team selection is. Could Morrison be playing up top with Keena?

Martin Mckay Hall Dixon Williamson Miller Telfer Mcguffie Nesbitt Morrison KeenaThat’s the way I read it and more hope it is.Playing they 2 diddies at the back together and Dixon at left back would be brutal and McGuffie can stink the place out in any position so that doesn’t really matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) No McCann, hetherington or krasniqui in the squad. Are they all injured? Only 6 subs. If it was still sheerin that would be a terrifying team selection but hopefully Rennie knows what he's doing.

What a stupid, stupid signing he has been. Hopefully Rennie can get a tune and some effort out of this mob. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
