And we also know we are going to be disappointed when the window shuts as we'll undoubtedly have way too much dross. I like McGlynn's reaction yesterday. He'll be putting constant pressure on the board to do more I'm sure. He doesn't want his reputation to suffer and is a winner. The areas of concern in the squad are glaringly obvious - fingers crossed from me that we can pull a few rabbits from the hat. It's a shame now we have the first real manager in a long time we seem to have the least ability to overhaul the squad completely. Loan Market dosnt shut till 31st September i believe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Oliver had worked his socks off all game more or less on his own and taken a fair amount of battering. He needed to be taken off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen Johns interviews I have a sense he has no problems expressing his views and wouldn’t need to do something like that. The weak links yesterday was the squad members he inherited, with the new additions showing up best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point I was making is the Board are well aware we need re-enforcements it didn’t need McGlynn to bring on Jamie Wilson to prove a point 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuartA Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) 13 hours ago, Bairney The Dinosaur said: Certainly would be more preferable to me to eventually have the FSS directors as those outwith the patrons group. Makes sense to have a fan owned board with some representation of the wider fan base. Give it another year or so and I'll nominate myself. Each to their own, but I’m against this false separation. Every board member is also an FSS member and, based on my interactions with them, utterly committed to seeing FSS work. Patrons are just Falkirk fans willing and able to have given an extra £10k to the club last season, money that ultimately got us to the end of the season. And I’d wager that not one of them will ever see a penny of that back, while watching their investment dilute almost immediately. There’s an election next week. Any member of FSS as of today can put themselves forward for election. We really welcome candidates standing up now.

PedroMoutinho Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 4 hours ago, Back Post Misses said: I couldn’t give a shit if the were Patrons or not. What is vital is that they have skills to bring to the party, have the time to give the club what it deserves and finally have the attitude that it is about the club first last and always and nothing to do with their own personal gain. We have had too many of these over the years. Not for me. In any organisation, you want people with diverse backgrounds and experience making decisions. We have a situation where in theory there’s meant to be a 3 legged stool ownership model but in fact every one of those making key decisions is a member of one stool. Members of the patrons group have effective total control of the club, which isn’t good for challenge or scrutiny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members of the patrons group have effective total control of the club, which isn’t good for challenge or scrutiny. All 4 directors from the respective groups are also democratically elected by the fans/members of each group, if for some reason you have an issue with the governance of the club join one of the groups and vote for a different candidate in the upcoming FSS elections. I personally have no issue with directors being members (and paying into) both groups, it gives us added investment and a broader talent pool to choose from, the club is now more democratic and fan inclusive than its ever been in my opinion but if you don’t like something then stand for election yourselves or even just raise the issue and use your vote for a change of director(s). Really don’t get the state you seem to be in over this, the new structure will have a few teething problems no doubt but the outline of it is absolutely bang on how a club of our size should operate and I’m sure will eventually get the club back to where it should be both on and off the pitch.

StuartA Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 It’s a mute point until we get more people stepping forward and putting themselves up for election, then it’ll be up to Falkirk fans the type of folk they want on the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
