A comfortable 3/4 win. Who is going to score these goals? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a P&B reputation of -379 @Dawson Park Boy pot, kettle by chance? Give the lad a break . It’s John’s comments that count, surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d most probably have voted for him anyway as in his short stint so far he’s always come across well but it would have been nice if a few other candidates had thrown they’re hat in to the ring. Bear in mind that a Board(?) requirement was for 15 to 20 hours per week. That alone would have ruled out almost everyone. Would have liked to have seen a required variety of skills that could have ruled people in rather than solely a time commitment that was destined to rule out almost everyone currently in employment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would know that at some point you will be turned into a big bad wolf by our very fickle fan base! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 15-20 hours was based on what the board told us was necessary to deal effectively with the challenges the club faces now. There wasn’t solely a time commitment though, other guidelines were suggested. Ultimately, it was a self-certifying process. The text we sent out is below. I agree it’s a high bar, but we need good people who will put the time in. The nomination window for our fans' director election is now open. The position is currently held by Nigel Serafini, who is entitled to stand again. We need talented, experienced and highly committed Bairns to step forward and play a full role in rebuilding our club, as well as making a success of the fans’ director role. Ideally with leadership experience, candidates should have strong communication skills and an ability to inspire confidence among the support, a track record in business or another profession, possibly a background in sports and, vitally, the time and energy to commit to our football club day-to-day. Current directors estimate a commitment (outside matchday) of 15-20 hours each week. Candidates should have high levels of integrity be able to maintain confidentiality, be that about club finances, football decisions, or any other aspect. They should be able to balance the legal duties of being a company director with a need to represent Falkirk fans effective at the heart of the club. They will also be expected to promote FSS and wider fan ownership at Falkirk. The position will last for two years, subject to club General Meetings’ continued agreement, and the successful candidate will be entitled to stand for re-election. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the need for good people, but I would have thought that the time commitment would be the negotiable part, and the skill set would be the mandatory part. The potential may well have been there for other contenders to come forward with fabulous track records but who could only give 8 to 10 hours of quality work per week, and so were out of the running. It’s not a slight on Nigel btw…..far from it. Simply my personal opinion that the time requirement made it near impossible for anyone in full time employment to even consider applying regardless of how good they may be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartA Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Yeah, everything was negotiable, or at least nothing was mandatory. We just set out as clearly as we could what we thought was needed and invited folk to step forward. Ultimately it was down to folk to set out their stall to say what they could bring, then it’d be up to members to decide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Was having a look at the scottish premiership squads to see who could possibly be available on loan. Wouldn't mind Dylan Tait as he seems to be out of it a bit with Hibs and obviously has worked with Mcglynn previously. Upfront you've got Kyle Connell, Jack Hamilton, Euan Henderson, Lewis Jamieson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Myles Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) Is the home end patg? Not sure whether I'll make it or not so didn't buy a ticket but would pop along last minute of I can go. Going by their website there is no path. Fair play to them if they can sell 2000 home tickets in advance. But daft not to have patg if they haven't.

Henderson scored well for Alloa. Can’t believe he’s still at Hearts at 22. Would imagine they’d prefer a Championship club to loan him to.Again imagine Hamilton would be Championship at the lowest.Know nothing about Jamieson.Be interesting to see who else out there is still available on a free. Likes of Telfer and Mutch still without a club at this stage, as examples. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
