I see you corrected the spelling of Colin Liddell - is there something you want to tell us KK was commercial director and a very successful one in my view. Personally I have no issue with occasionally having a non Falkirk supporter on the board so long as the vast majority are fans. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His last sponsor went well. Edited December 5, 2022 by Back Post Misses 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith only reversed the decision when sponsors and investors started to withdraw, fans threatened to boycott, the woman’s team disowned them, and their reputation started to suffer in the press and media…. The SNP £500k handout was what saved RR. Their sponsorship cash fell off a cliff, and they still had to pay out the four figure salary to “him”. Transfer those losses with no SNP money to cover the losses, and we would have been in a very perilous state. There was not a direct and easy comparison twixt RR and us, and. It would have been a hell of an ask to expect well heeled fans to cover the losses that would have tumbled down upon our collective heads. Thankfully, we only have a shortfall of £400k……..it could have been much much worse. There are no eejits on our Board, and I am confident enough that they have learned many a lesson since the massive upheaval of last December and January.

As far as I am led to believe, he didn't get his shares by buying them and then departed as soon as he could with a nice wee wedge.

Strange that he never made the move to Hibs who after all are a much bigger club with vastly bigger commercial potential. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Falkirk were in for Goodwillie last December/this January. Ironically it was probably his relationship with McGlynn which sealed the signing for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Totten’s income generation was a key factor as we saw when he left. Indeed. When Totten departed, he took a lot of well managed sponsorship accounts with him….…people that KK hadn’t any relationship with. Said before…..you cannot have a salary plus commission employee on a BoD. It drives entirely the wrong behaviours. Stuff that didn’t bring commission (the retail side) suffered significant neglect because of it. If there’s a big missing now, it’s marketing. There’s a world of difference between offering stuff for sale and marketing the stuff that’s for sale, but I am hopeful that it will be addressed in the not too distant future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
