Just reading up on it and it’s totally different. DG’s claim was on her being too drunk to consent as was backed by other witnesses and her own testimony. McKenna won a settlement for a false accusation claim. Apparently the girl had asked for his number a week after the incident too. Anyway I get your point but details, evidence and results are different so it’s not the same to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumpyoldman Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I don’t think the committee of the FSS should know the signing targets, nor should the Patrons. Are you saying they did 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to take one step back from the hideous events of today. We need the BOD to clarify WTF is going on. We’ve got discussions ongoing about the vote - FCKN really - get a grip. Have the club censored the associated FSS to conduct a poll on this piece of shite? New BOD, Patrons if you have any real care for our club get this put to bed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUMBER 7 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I’ve just seen the email from FSS about a vote that must have arrived earlier today. I won’t be answering the question posed, but I will be giving FSS my views in the part for comments. Not impressed what so ever, if we are going to be receiving emails of this nature on every second matter.

Proudtobeabairn Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 If there's any truth in the rumour we've already bid for DGW then the new fan ownership model has already failed imo. Taking a decision that would cause life long fans to never return would be unforgiveable. Taking a decision to employ DGW ahead of common decency really would be a new low. If we can't win games without signing him then just shut the place down. Anyone at board level even remotely considering this should be ashamed of themselves. I'd rather have Taylor Morgan back to lead the attack and I'm not even joking. I honestly can't yet believe the new guys would be so stupid and am holding onto that hope but if it weren't true then why has no-one shut this down? I don't buy that no-one in the FSS or Patrons group knows the truth other than the 6 on the board. If I were a patron I'd be f*cking livid that my £10k could be spent on this and would be demanding answers from the elected reps. If FSS truly want to represent fans then they don't need to rely on a poll. The depth of feeling here doesn't need 'validated' it's black and white to the extent that its offensive to think the answer could be anything other than a flat no. Have both FSS and The Patrons elected board reps with such low moral compass that they would even consider signing him? Astonishing if true. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StuartA Posted January 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 7, 2022 Just to clear up a couple of points. First, the club did not/not ask us to conduct the poll. An increasing number of members asked us to remonstrate about the rumoured signing. Had we done so, it would have been based only on the views expressed, which were all in opposition. If we’d done nothing, then members would ask (and were asking) what's the point of a fans’ organisation like this if it can't even present views. Second, FSS no inside info on whether or not it was considered. We wouldn't expect to as it's confidential information. It's annoyed a few folk, which is understandable and we respect the views of those who disagree. But at the heart of it, all we've done is seek views from members so we can inform our directors. It's up the them what they do with the information, bearing in mind their duty to act independently. It's an uncomfortable thing to do and I can't see us doing anything similar for a long time. 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t join, like most I suspect, to get lots of inside info as to what is going on. We elected Keith Gourlay and Kenny Jamieson to represent us. I am happy for them to get on with it and liase with us with the content they feel is appropriate at a time they deem correct. So far I am pleased with the progress. Old coaching team gone, new one in, clarity on player recruitment with Holt on his way and a statement that clearly states they are going to try to clear up the mess in terms of culture and professionalism that was left behind by countless previous regimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
