If it’s the same company then has one director and were incorporated in August. Haven’t even filed a set of accounts yet and their website still isn’t up and running. Just hope they’ve paid up front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 The board really have to hope that the signings they make are of a quality to win this league. If this goes wrong I for one would question what we could have done with a further £600k in the pot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Another day of absolute nothing. Tbf 2 other teams in the league have signed up some of the utterly shite jobbers that we’ve punted in Leitch and Mercer so could’ve been a lot worse for us today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooBairn Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Did Gary Deans not say the past week of announcements would really excite the fans? Mckay, Nesbitt, Williamson & Hetherington. Better than previous? Probably. Excited? Nope. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also not just the money but the potential for good Falkirk fans on the board who are hopefullly engaged with the day to day running of the club as much as anything. Bound to have some good business people although be good to know who they were/are. Surely more than just accountants? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly have to question if the BoD's were acting in the best interests of the club when they rejected the investment, as is their duty to shareholders.....or whether they were posturing to save their own positions and pandering to Mrs Rawlins. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HonestAl Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) Was just thinking….. Gomis - 2 year deal at League 1 club (corrected) Alston - 2 year deal at Championship Club Connolly - 2 year deal at Championship Club Durnan - mooted to be joining a last season Championship Club ….. Leitch - 2 year deal at League 1 club that finished above us Mercer - 2 year deal at League 1 club So just what was our problem? (Rhetorical question) Edited June 8, 2021 by HonestAl Corrected Gomis new deal and next club for Durnan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly would love our club to be in a position where the board and fans were all working together for the good of our team but for me this can only happen with fan involvement in the running of things. After all we are the ones who live and die Falkirk FC, its not just a business or money making machine to us its our lives. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting how Gary Deans has used his presence as Falkirk Chairman to promote himself and become involved in more companies since he took over the role. Maybe part of the answer why he does not want to relinquish his position. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you say that, I did start having a search about the companies house website when I was looking at the sponsors and I noticed Gary Deans seems to be involved in several companies. Sure that’s normal for most chairmen though? Edited June 8, 2021 by Caractacus Potts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I think that too. There’s some players that just seem to fit some clubs. The likes of Livi and St.Johnstone for instance. There have been players there over the years that I wouldn’t be too thrilled if they joined us, even when they were finishing top 6. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alston is living off his reputation. Connolly is never fit. Durnan is signing for Alloa. Leitch and Mercer are pish. Im not entirely sure what point you are trying to make here but none of the names mentioned above are good enough to take us forward. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
