RC55 FFC Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Brilliant day at the Bairns Business Club sportsman’s lunch today in Grangemouth. Speakers were superb in Phil Differ & Dick Campbell (who spoke very well about the club, fans & McGlynn) and more importantly 150 attended the sold out event raising almost £10k for the Football Club/Specific Football Club Projects. Great to see club directors & the CEO involved too and their was a far more positive vibe amongst the fans & staff imho. Brilliant work as always by those who organised.

One small criticism was that I thought it went on a bit too long. Well done, the organisers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FFC1965 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Really enjoyed the podcast. I didn't know a great deal about Swinney before listening to it, as a result he's gone up my estimation. 10/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Great podcast. Dare I say it, some optimism after years of brutal club mismanagement. Open and frank discussion of how far we’ve fallen. Just hoping the club have considered all options in helping fans back the club in anyway this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGlynn might be able to get a tune out of one or two but he hopefully knows dross like Sneddon, Wilson, Holt, Ross for starters have to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one can possibly perform all those roles effectively. Edited May 28, 2022 by PedroMoutinho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think given his background in youth development he himself is the one muddling it a bit and then there's the fact he did everything under the sun at Stenny so it's just trying to break that habit. He did mention that there would be a part time head of youth coming in so hopefully that splits it out a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he can concentrate on his CEO work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one can possibly perform all those roles effectively. He is the CEO. He is responsible for all aspects of the club. He has to have an involvement across the Board. The trick is to ensure those who report to him do the job they are employed to do. I think the club should take no lectures from anyone previously involved or their associates in the organisation about how it should be run after the mess that was left. As someone said to me there are still people hanging around the club who would be happy being Directors of Ashes. In other words if the place was rubble it wouldn’t matter as long as they had power. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stenhousemuir being a better run club says a lot. Words are easy. The rights words are harder but still easier than actions. It looks promising, it sounds like we are putting the foundations in place but it is a results driven business. At the end of the day that is what Jamie, JMcG and the Board will be judged on. I am optimistic, we seem to be catching a few little breaks here and there now too. Here’s hoping we can start to win games which will be the only thing that will really turn things around.

Shadwell Dog Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Hopefully fans now understand the magnitude of the task facing the current employees and new bod. The last mob should never be allowed back in the ground ever again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syd Puddefoot Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 A very informative and transparent interview. I'd make it mandatory for all fans to listen to this and hopefully, the reasonable supporters will understand what has been inherited and what it will take to fix it. Yes, it's only words, we've had many before, but there seems to be a plan and determination to rebuild our club. As fans we can play a huge part in this if we really want it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bejazz1 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Great podcast. Dare I say it, some optimism after years of brutal club mismanagement. Open and frank discussion of how far we’ve fallen. Just hoping the club have considered all options in helping fans back the club in anyway this season. Main thing for me was something I’ve said for years even before our slump was the main focus being on the playing field. That cannot be understated, it’s great doing all the fancy dancy community/ethical stuff etc as that sure helps to bring in some income but we should NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF THE MAIN FOCUS OF ANY FOOTBALL TEAM SHOULD BE A COMPETITIVE TEAM THAT WINS ON A SATURDAY AND FOR TOO LONG THIS HAS BEEN MISPLACED BY THIS CLUB AS IF THIS WAS A SECONDARY SIDESHOW. Good interview he came across really well and gives us some hope for the future. Over to you John McGlynn! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ecosse83 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Managed to get it working and have to say I’m well impressed with that. It’s great to be told these things but hopefully in the coming years results take over and things are running smoothly in the background. It seems like we are on the right tracks now though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Very good podcast and Swinney came across well. Said all the right things and as others have said let's hope we can start getting results then no-one will care about whose left their role in the pie hut. Swinney will then get the chance to work away, putting things right behind the scenes away from the spotlight. If the podcasts are going to be monthly then McGlynn is an obvious next guest but I'd like to hear from some of the board in future editions. Would be great to familiarise themselves more with those of us who don't know them. The Q&A will do that but realistically I (and many like me I expect who are busy with families/jobs etc) won't go to that. Much easier to listen into a podcast. Well done all involved! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
