Now I agree with BPM that the board inherited a mess and need and deserve time to fix it. Where I disagree with BPM is that Rennie isn’t the answer. I don’t know what is, but Rennie has been a terrible appointment. Tbf to BPM he did post after the Montrose game that change is needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know who’s heads should be hung in shame. We had another example this week with the youth team debacle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because treating the previous academy like shit has worked out really well for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotions running high, and current parents who feel like their child has been wronged are of course going to blame those that have had to front up and tell them they can’t fund it. That anger is definitely misplaced however. Fergus and Holt are thick as thieves. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PedroMoutinho Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I do find it odd that the previous board were rightly criticised for closing the academy, their claims of how much it cost to run were criticised. I remember £90k (I think) was offered and it was claimed this would be enough to keep the whole academy going. Yet now we’re being told it would cost a ‘six figure sum’ to run one under 12s team and presumably many of the same people who criticised the previous board decision have endorsed this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best players we've had over the years have always played with their shoulders back and a bit of a swagger. Farid was very much in that mould. He'd have done well down South if he hadn't blown his knee out. I also have a great song for him to the tune of the "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys that never got to see the light of day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reading of it was it's a "six figure sum" to do all the stuff that was allegedly promised (eg training camps abroad and what have you). -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top of Meeks Road Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 We are in real danger of falling to a level that will be hugely difficult to escape from. You only need to look 9 miles to see a club like Stirling Albion struggle for decades in the lower reaches. They used to have a similar support to us and probably share not too different a catchment potential. No one gets promotion on the basis of crowd figures or fancy stadia or innovative ideas. Our illusions of grandeur can be well summed up in Sam McGiverns decision to quit. We are immediately advertising for a replacement when we, as a struggling 3rd tier outfit, have a CEO doing what precisely? Honestly, gie me peace! -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
