Guest Brockvillenomore Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 8 hours ago, PedroMoutinho said: The previous board have rightly been gone now for nearly 8 months. The new board and patrons have total control of the club. The new board are now on their second manager and second transfer window. Yes, there are still issues from the past to be dealt with. But frankly I think fans have every right to be discussing what is being done to make us competitive on the pitch in what will be an absolutely crucial season. Control of the club rests between one member appointed by the major shareholders, 2 from the patrons and two from FSS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be him in the centre and Henderson pushed into midfield for Hetherington. Oliver has done quite well in holding the ball up etc but has no support whatsoever. If we can’t get a decent striker, try and push for Kennedy and put Morrison up front. In my view Mackie has some engine on him. He ran all day, including a lung buster across the park at about 80mins (almost to the right back position) to successfully shut down a counter attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were other spends also on the failed gamble to reach the playoffs. It's not difficult. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tea and Busquets Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Spoke with a guy today at the game who owns a few businesses around the town and he said he contacted Jamie at the club about how much it would have been to keep Griffiths and he would have paid his wages in full, not costing the club a penny. The club refused (unsure if this was Jamie/BOD or John McGlynn). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame that doesn’t fit into your tiresome and transparent agenda. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Honest assessment by McGlynn in post match interview. Quite refreshing in the sense he isn't slavering a lot of pish like his predecessors. Sounded a little frustrated that he doesn't have the numbers or quality he wants at least not yet. Hopefully that gets rectified soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the guy gave Griffiths some money and worked from now till January with a personal trainer and some training at the stadium with our team then he might be worth a punt in January if not and assuming the guy you spoke to knows something about football then he'd be better giving the club money for someone else (or two players) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A supporter that generous would still support the club and finance a player or players the manager actually wanted. Or am I missing something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I have no interest in being a director but to me it’s not good for corporate governance or decision making to have a supposed 3 legged stool model but where all directors are members of one group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only groups in your mind. It’s this sort of attitude that’s poisoning the club. FSS, Patrons even the major shareholders, all involved are Falkirk supporters.

Didn’t you criticise the previous board for spending money on the youth development squads? What recourses? By all accounts the playing budget is actually larger than it was last season and will most likely be if not the largest pretty close to the largest in the division. it’s just unfortunate the previous regime has hamstrung the club with so many poor players on long term contracts tying a lot of that cash up, I trust McGlynn to eventualy move a few on and get a few in but it won’t happen overnight and we simply can’t rush in and sign any old shite again this season with the remaining budget we do have available, it will most likely be into August before McGlynn finalises his squad.
