Nightmare Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Cherry picking random questions that people haven’t actually asked and answering them on Twitter, while everyone rips you apart in the comments. A second day of things going really well for the PTFC Trust, then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Speak for yourself. Personally hoping to find out what their favourite flavours of ice cream are next. If any of them say pistachio it's over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Why are the posting these at such a slow rate? We’ve had 3 “questions” answered in just under 2 hours. Surely they’d worked out what they were going to say before they started posting? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic Whistle Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 If having no prior experience of running a football club disqualifies you from being a director, then I take it the Trustees had/have major issues with every one of the current board members being appointed to their positions. You seriously couldn't make this crap up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 In other “Partick Thistle are a stupid football club” news, the club have announced that they conducted an investigation into why there were big delays in fans getting into the ground for the Accies game. Turns out it was all the fans’ fault. Cheers for that, Thistle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I do not believe that a single one of the people involved in the PTFC trust have the clubs best interest at heart. The only person for whom this could be construed as a good deal is Jacqui Low. I don’t know why they’re enabling her, but they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only person for whom this could be construed as a good deal is Jacqui Low. I don’t know why they’re enabling her, but they are. I reckon they think they do. My reading of the Jags Foundation statements and the profiles is that they basically have no faith in us. They're all from the same strata. MDs, CFOs, lawyers, etc. They are elitist and think the unwashed masses will be so busy trying to search for success the club is run into the ground. You can see repeated comments to the effect that fans can't be trusted dotted through. They think a trust is the perfect model for fan ownership. We are the beneficiaries of the ownership. It is to be run for us but but not by us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 There's a line in there somewhere about not being on the board in case of a conflict of interest. Why should the board of a football club, and the fans of a football club, have conflicting interests? I see also now that the Jags Foundation have been told they're not welcome (as an organisation) at Firhill. Really healthy, engaging fan ownership in effect there. I feel for the Thistle fans here. It's bad enough for fans of a lot of clubs with dysfunctional and despotic owners, but to have that scenario play out under the banner of "fan ownership" is galling, to say the least. Hopefully there is a route for those with the sprit of the Jags Foundation to usurp the leadership at the Trust and take places on the club board, but I wouldn't put a penny on that being a painless process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie Of The Month Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Banning TJF is the kind of decision that the trustees just wouldn't have the knowledge or experience to make. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 You really need to get the pitchforks out and stop being fucking hipsters and force this Low fraud out. Their actions at Dens were a bit indicative of their professionalism so no surprise to see this unfold. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
