The Falkirk FC Thread

I live on the other side of the world and I know that the club is in dire straits so I’ve signed up to the FSS. How the f*ck can fans who live and work in the Falkirk area not know that we’re up shit creek without a paddle? What will it take for them to commit a decent wedge in reasonable numbers; a front page advert/plea in the Falkirk Herald? McGlynn, Smith and the Board standing in the centre circle at half time pleading their case for more help from the fans? We pride ourselves on being the best and most loyal of fans – our current situation and lack of support from the fan base suggests otherwise.

Re: the 600+ fans who have signed up to the FSS, and without knowing their personal financial situations, if everyone of us pledged £500 to some sort of fighting fund, that would make a big £300k dent in our £400k black hole.

I’ll pony up a monkey, anybody else? (if the missus finds out she’ll go fecking Tonto but what the hell).

And before anyone has a go, I’m not trying to be some sort of “I’m a better fan than you”, I’m only trying to help my club. And anyway, my 500 quid would be chickenfeed compared to what some P&B posters have done previously for the club.

Something along those lines is what’s needed if indeed we don’t have the necessary funds in place and I’m sure many loyal fans will put their hands in their pockets but we must have the facts.

In this case, ignorance most certainly is not bliss.

PedroMoutinho really seems to be revelling in this financial crisis which was created by the imbeciles who polluted the Boardroom previously.

Almost as if he has an agenda.

The financial crisis was created by the current board deciding to spend more in the summer than they had cash reserves to pay for. 

Still, if it all goes tits up they can always get their acolytes to log onto P&B and blame someone else.

Hardly. You had debts of over 10 million quid FFS and didn't pay back a single bean. I would hope that we'd never stoop that low.

Firstly what an absolute spillage of bile/shite by some posting on from the outside, many should look at their own clubs situation……..
We've got a serious situation which requires immediate cash/investment/soft loans and the new guys in town have been in long enough to fully review all aspects of the club including the finances. For me there’s more than a concern/worry that they’ve underestimated the P&L.

I will bite. This ignorance of this post is frankly astounding.

I’m to blame, I kicked the arse right out it during my recent visit to hospitality. If me and my chums hadn’t drank so much we’d probably have the cash for the 4th stand instead of being in this perilous predicament.

Only because we can’t shift the dross left over from last season who were scandalously awarded multi year contracts.

If the rumours are correct, no attempt was made to shift them as Mcglynn thought it would damage squad harmony.

Probably, the threat of extinction or admin would light a few more fires. 

 

It was a very bold strategy to gamble so much on this season, if Falkirk don't go up this season what's the plans for next, another 150k overspend?

Manger seeks squad harmony, whatever next? Luke Holt left so there must have been some attempt. 
I long for rumours that make sense and you can get excited about
