For once I am actually ITK but probably have said too much already so I will drop the subject and bite my tongue if there are any more revisionist posts. From what I was told when KK left, your posts are spot on. The decision to appoint Sammy was just stupid, no sales/commercial awareness but believe is was carried out to get some unity with the support. A decision Deans and co got horribly wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of his ideas weren’t the most popular but to me almost anything is worth it to make more resources available for the first team. It was absolutely scandalous in my view for the previous board to give such an important role to a fan favourite with no sales experience at all. Aye you kinda reminded me of that actually. The new guy they said had no sales experience and wasnt from Falkirk so had so network. Not entirley sure how he was qualified for the role 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 "The new guy" was SuperSam McGivern. He is beloved by the fans, and a lovely guy, but completely unqualified for the role. A horrendous appointment, not least for Sam himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifes Elite Force Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 It all seems odd to me that the board have said they need to raise 600k by the end of the season which still have a 400k loss while saying cash reserves are pretty much done and the plan to tackle it hasnt made target but the only chat on this thread from Falkirk fans is bickering about an employee Are you guys genuinly not worried about the situation? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Obvious trolling here but I’ll bite anyway) You have either not read the detail properly or are just on the wind up, they targeted an uplift in overall revenue by 600k in this financial year which is on course to be met if not exceeded (considering the previous financial year still had various covid restrictions in place and our main shirt sponsor shafted the club with us eventually not getting a penny from the deal this wasn’t particularly unachievable). That however still leaves the club with an operating deficit of 400k which will need to be plugged, we have been told there are a number of ongoing initiatives right now including discussions with shareholders to partly fund it via soft loans, further share purchase from the patrons group and a number of 10 year season tickets with a few extras flung in are currently be punted to fans at £5000 a pop, the club has also been pushing for an uplift in numbers from the FSS. We will find out at the AGM if this has been sufficient to raise the 400k needed or not. If it hasn’t the BOD indicated in the pod cast that the idea of fan ownership may have to be shelved and the remaining unsold shares sold to a single investor.

Do you know if the various pay offs for Sheerin, Rennie and Holt were included in the spending budget for last year, or was this an additional cost unrelated to spending budgets? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrt Commercial Managers, under no circumstances should a salaried plus commission Commercial Manager be elevated to the BoD. It drives entirely the wrong behaviours.………and it wasn’t KK’s departure that damaged commercial revenue…..it was Totten’s departure (and especially the manner in which he was marginalised by Deans). Totten was a relationship builder, KK wasn’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
