Stevie May was photographed, and had filmed a welcome interview, with us before a game against Brechin, he was on the team lines too. All before the deal, which then collapsed, was signed. It does happen. Edited January 6, 2020 by RandomGuy. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BudBairn 202 Report post Posted January 6, 2020 It is interesting that MC's twitter account has completely stopped tweeting since the takeover collapsed back in the middle of November. He claimed it was his personal twitter but now it seems it was set up just to dupe the more gullible Falkirk fans with some sort of carefully researched charm offensive. However I do miss the steeple haircuts, the golf course deal, the Keane tickets , the constant my team are working hard & it's only two weeks away updates , him tramping about the Howgate, and the whole mental "Hiya Mark" cringe-fest. Bless him, I wonder what he's up to now - wonder if his sex case is up yet. I think MC tried to buy chesterfield after us?https://www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/sport/football/new-york-based-businessman-rules-out-chesterfield-fc-takeover-bid-1-10155494 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bairn88 506 Report post Posted January 6, 2020 Longridge on twitter today liking a fair few tweets about how us fans hope he signs a new contract. Don’t like to read too much into twitter but usually when players are off to a different or rival club they stay very very quiet on that stuff 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All I can say is if you have a competent Media Officer / Football Administrator who're left alone to do their jobs without pressure from above to push out good news stories, then it will never happen. We're fortunate to have one person who combines both roles and is very good at them. Edited January 6, 2020 by Bainsfordbairn 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bantabairn 779 Report post Posted January 7, 2020 Hate this transfer window as many of the tabloids fill the back pages with any shite available with the bigot bro’s out of town. Guess it’s wait and see with what materialises over the next couple of weeks, however hate to think or consider that if it’s a few thousand smackers need to be spent on getting us promoted ( auto slot) we regress and end up in play offs, if you take a look at League one, any team out of six or seven we could end up facing. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

champions 388 Report post Posted January 7, 2020 Could we not offer him a permanent deal on the premise we win promotion? If we dont get promoted then he'll be a free agent and will more than likely have a number of offers. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
