RC55 FFC Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 No issues with the patrons group looking to add to their members. No different to FSS looking for members too, it’s all relative to what someone can afford to pop in either as a one off or monthly via PayPal. It’s all income to the club at the end of the day and helps increase the fans voice too. What fans would have an issue with this? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawson Park Boy Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I certainly wouldn’t invest unless I was sure the whole projected loss was being covered as, if not, it’s just money down the drain. Even 25 at £10k is well short of the loss. Expect the auditors will need to be satisfied that they have the funds in place to meet any shortfall before signing off the Accounts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any increase on budgeted match ticket sales, retail, hospitality, sponsorship etc eats into any shortfall too. Doesn’t all fall on FSS and the Patrons increasing payments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Unclear of your post, you refer to the auditors as copied below. Is there a bigger issue than the reported 400K? ”the auditors will need to be satisfied that they have the funds in place to meet any shortfall before signing off the Accounts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to be satisfied that the company is a going concern which means they need to be sure funds are in place to cover the losses. Otherwise they will need to qualify the Accounts which has consequences. They will need to examine the management accounts to verify the accuracy of the projected loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played well in the 2nd half and showed some excellent touches but he had a great chance, which admittedly he made himself, then completely lacked composure in front of goal thankfully. Utd sending him to a team managed by McPake also seems like a strange choice. During his whole managerial career, McPake has been a massive advocate of long ball tactics and I’m not sure how Mochrie fits into that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would certainly suit our style better than Dunfermlines blooter up the park stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I think it’d be tough for more technical players to fit into a McPake team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Mcpake had to beg the scum board in order to stump up for it and sign him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I guess “agenda posturing” (for want of a better term), is part and parcel of just about every football forum. It’s like everything…….if it’s of no interest, it’s just a matter of reading it or not, or commentating or not. The days of discussing solely players, tactics and results are long gone, and let’s be honest, this “agenda” behind the scenes stuff is just as likely to reveal reasons for our season (any season) being less than we hoped for…..even when those hopes seem to be very very modest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one agenda and that is to see the survival of FFC and, hopefully, it’s progression to higher leagues. Previous boards have messed up big time and the new incumbents started off with a poor hand with a minus position at 1st June 2021 and players contracted who were far below the standard we need. Its now up to the current board to steer us into better times and they have done well in getting a real management team in M and S. However, the big problem is getting us through this season and, hopefully, that’s what the main focus is on. We need cash and lots of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A question that could legitimately be asked of at least 50% of clubs most years. As ever, the answer is “it depends”. In our case, it depends on us closing (and being seen to close) our much spoken of £400k blackhole. It’s all about cash right now, today (with the hope that club restructuring sees the gross mismanagement of previous years be consigned to the bin). For me, there are a good number of individuals that should never be welcomed back to TFS, but that of course, fixes none of the damage. I think anyone from FSS to PG to BoD will be up for anything ideas wise that will help close that gap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
