angus47 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Murray McManus Little Linn Nicholl Whatley Travis Lindsay Morrison IIRC, that was before we played Aberdeen, who were playing us as preparation for there first Euro qualifying round in early July!

1320Lichtie Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 he also had Micheal Wallace, Kieran McWalter, Connor Birse and Kiffy Cheers! Forgot about Keiran but I wasn't sure if the other 3 had actually signed, I remember them being there in pre season though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonLichtie Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 So, if you were the board right now, and (assuming) they have accepted this is not working and unfortunately Todd's position is untenable due to the vast, vast majority of the fans not wanting him to continue in the role, what would you do right now? Would you sack the management right now and be in a position where the biggest 'names' to apply for the job are Keith Gibson and Colin Cameron, or do you hold off until the summer when there will be more options, and hopefully a player coming towards the end of his career who fancies taking up a player/ manager role? If we were looking for someone right now, there is pretty much zero chance of a player/ manager, whereas if we were looking in May the chances of this being an option are significently higher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid and get people back on board. Sign Dick Campbell up after the Sportsmans Dinner. He can get Foxy and Travis back from Forfar, season 2016/17s building of a title winning side can commence. Simples. But in seriousness I'd definitely just get them as far away as possible, the seethe the two of them are creating in the support has reached a level I've never seen before. What's the point in keeping the two of them there, could it really get any worse? Like genuinely? A half cut Speckyboy taking the team would probably be just as good. Atleast if they were gone there might be a bit of buzz and togetherness back at Gayfield again. Boys kicking off after the clubs confirmed Gayfields passed a pitch inspection on Saturday ffs, the game hadn't even kicked off! I feel quite sorry for the club because they seem scared to say anything these days because no matter what people start moaning!! It's genuinely shite, especially when they've done so many good positive things this year!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terracingtam Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Before I start I am in no way excusing or advocating support for the board but they are only supporters of the club like ourselves. They act as custodians with a remit to make sure AFC survives as a club but none are successful businessmen as far as I am aware. If we go down the Gretna road as with Mileson and go belly up there would be uproar in the town imo. As posted in a previous post "you can only pish with the c**k you've got" . We would all welcome a sugar daddy to bankroll our club like some of our Angus rivals but they don't grow on trees unfortunately. It's time to come clean on the perceived Forfar sugar daddy. He goes under the name of Mr. Golf Day, Sportsman's Dinner, Ladies Dinner, Xmas dance, Loons Lottery, 250 Club, Supporters Club, Hospitality, Tribute nights, Quiz nights, Loons Direct Shop, Match day bar, etc etc. All of these do grow on trees if you plant them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLichtie86 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 So, if you were the board right now, and (assuming) they have accepted this is not working and unfortunately Todd's position is untenable due to the vast, vast majority of the fans not wanting him to continue in the role, what would you do right now?

If we were looking for someone right now, there is pretty much zero chance of a player/ manager, whereas if we were looking in May the chances of this being an option are significently higher. Lets see. Where do i start. 1. Sack both Lumsden and Hislop. They have lost the support of the fans and the players dont look happy to be playing for them. Performances have been good to great in very few games this season. Shocking to beyond disgraceful in far too many. Change is needed. 2. There are options out there. Barry Robson is one option as his contract is up at the end. Could be a player manager next season. Dick Campbell is another option. Plenty of managers out there. Even if its getting in a manager until the end of the season that can bring something fresh to the team. Give the players a lift and keep us away from the relegation zone. 3. I would start to look at ways to bring extra revenue into the club. Get fund raising ventures going, give a number of free tickets for school kids to get a future fanbase growing. 4. Get the youth team going again so we can actually have more options for the squad rather than the threadbare squad we are running with. Also give these youth players a chance in the first team rather than bringing in vast amounts of loan players who for the majority have added nothing to the team. 5. I would have fan representation on the board so there is better dialogue and understanding between the club and the fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtiekev Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 East Stirling beating Clyde, if it stays like that it's time to act, will put it down to 5 points, far to close for comfort 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertolichtie Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 The board should have acted after 1 point in 3 home games and no goals. Management team isn't up to the task, bring in Dick Campbell till the end of the season then look for applications for the managers position unless of course Campbell wins all the remaining games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecto Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I am in no doubt the manager should have been sacked before the new year and yes I would have taken Dick Campbell til the end of the season, then we look for a new manager for next season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtgilphead Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 5. I would have fan representation on the board so there is better dialogue and understanding between the club and the fans. The board are all fans too, and are voted into that position by the fans who own shares. The club is owned by the shareholders. The shareholdings are a matter of public record (I own 0.37%) The biggest shareholder owns 7.76%, and isn't even on the board! The smallest shareholders own 100 shares each, but have the same right to stand for election as any other fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
