Colin Liddell is a Falkirk supporter

ermmmmm no he isn't !  As far as I am led to believe, he didn't get his shares by buying them and then departed as soon as he could with a nice wee wedge. 

Always known to be a Jambo.

He was undoubtedly very successful in terms of increasing and sustaining commercial income. The fact Hibs tried to poach him tells you that.

Strange that he never made the move to Hibs who after all are a much bigger club with vastly bigger commercial potential.

Falkirk were in for Goodwillie last December/this January. Ironically it was probably his relationship with McGlynn which sealed the signing for us.

Well, we've only got your word for that and you're a bit of an enigma TBH.

Was it? I would like to see it. The accounts were never very clear to judge properly.

Alex Totten’s income generation was a key factor as we saw when he left. 

Indeed. When Totten departed, he took a lot of well managed sponsorship accounts with him….…people that KK hadn’t any relationship with. Said before…..you cannot have a salary plus commission employee on a BoD. It drives entirely the wrong behaviours. Stuff that didn’t bring commission (the retail side) suffered significant neglect because of it.

If there’s a big missing now, it’s marketing. There’s a world of difference between offering stuff for sale and marketing the stuff that’s for sale, but I am hopeful that it will be addressed in the not too distant future.

In our current financial situation it would do serious harm.
Raith only reversed the decision when sponsors and investors started to withdraw, fans threatened to boycott, the woman’s team disowned them, and their reputation started to suffer in the press and media….

I am not saying we would not have taken a hit, kill the club? Nonsense

Look at the coverage on Luke McGuire’s video. Two handed shove. PK end of

Having reviewed it and regardless of my view on Alegria's lack of killer instinct - it's a penalty.

We've seen these poor calls all season and the statistics are damning when allied with video to back-up the incidents.

So much debate around VAR's introduction in the Premiership that Scottish referees association has missed that the refs aren't upto the job and it's only made worse at this level because no-one is scrutinising it.

I'm an FSS member and would love the scheme to succeed though if I'm honest I couldn't care less whether the board was full of Falkirk fans or not.  

The most important thing is that the board are seeking the best for the club.  A sole owner with very deep pockets for example could be very good for the club if they're honest, competent and in it for the right reasons.

Aye, but unless they're a fan, why would they want to buy the club if there wasn't something in it for them? Mark Campbell springs to mind.

Brown at St Johnstone is a good example of it working. Unfortunately, there are plenty of examples of it all going wrong.
