I know the Scotland game is away from home but, assuming it's on TV, surely it would have made sense to play our game on the Wednesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So watch cowdenbeath v Clyde or Hungary v Scotland ( with about a dozen call offs ) central park wins every day of the week [emoji106]In fact there will probably a bigger crowd at central park [emoji6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, when you take into account their amateurish appointment of a completing uninspiring manager, the proven racist/anti-Semite masquerading as the performance director, the carve-up chief executive hunt, the rip-off prices, the fact they're trying to run QP into the ground (ignore any "rivalry" there; there's no way they should be holding a member club to ransom), whatever role they have had in the Colts, the Project Brave youth system annihilation, the referee strike, their pandering to old Rangers, and countless other fiascoes, I'm not sure why anyone would give the National team a second look.

The deadline was set by the board of the club’s Supporters Trust, owners of the majority of Binos’ shares, following a meeting last week with three of those behind the bid. Two of the three were Colin Rowley, managing director, of Stirling-based electrical equipment firm Dron and Dickson, and ex-Hearts, Raith Rovers and Clyde player John Neill. They have not confirmed their individual involvement as yet but it is understood they want supporters to hand over their shares for nothing in return for a “significant” offer of investment in the club. Councillor Jim Thomson secretary of the trust board told the Stirling Observer this week it would be up to fans to decide on the club’s future once a formal offer was made. He added: “Members of the trust board met with three of the individuals involved and the decision taken at the meeting was we would have to consult with members once we have a formal offer on the table. “We have asked them to make a formal offer and given them until Wednesday of next week to do so. Once we get a formal offer, we will call a meeting of trust members and members will decide if that is the way we wish to take.” Mr Rowley and Mr Neill had hoped their identities as potential investors in the club would not be made public until they had the chance to meet trust members and outline their plans for the club. However, their names became known over the weekend after our story in the Observer on Friday regarding the move. Neither wished to comment on Monday but a source said: “They propose an offer of investment and a significant one. “They want to talk to the trust about the way forward and plan a series of events at which they will have an open, honest and transparent discussion. “They are not being hostile in any way and to portray it otherwise would be wrong.” However Councillor Thomson said: “The Trust owns 83 per cent of the shares of the club and the (consortium) initially wanted all the shares. They are now saying the trust could keep some but the ownership would transfer to them in return for investment in the club.” And he added: "My personal view is that I don’t want to go back to a benefactor set-up because no matter how well intentioned, there is no guarantee of success and we have seen how it has worked with other clubs. We are in a good position; we own 83 per cent of the club – why would we give it away?” Mr Rowley, who is in his forties, is a familiar face at Forthbank. He attends games there and has sponsored club events. Dron and Dickson was founded in 1927 as an explosives supplier before moving into the oil industry during the 1970s boom. It has headquarters in Stirling and wholesale bases around the country, and specialises in supply and maintenance of hazardous electrical equipment. Mr Neill, a tigerish midfield player, joined Hearts from the Hibs youth-set-up and made his senior professional debut while on loan at Hamilton Accies in 2006. He had a loan spell at Raith Rovers before leaving Hearts for Queen’s Park and having spells at Clyde, East Stirlingshire and junior side Irvine Meadow. It is understood both have been taken aback by the hostility with which the proposal has been greeted among some fans and will welcome an opportunity to outline their proposals to all supporters.

Ivo den Bieman Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Interesting article- a Scottish coach who's come from nowhere to do well in South east Asia- apparently sent in his CV to Clyde a few years back but was kb'ed as "you've done nothing in Scotland". Suspect he might have done just a wee bit better than Barry F / Jim Chapman. The coach you've never heard of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haufdaft Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Suspect he might have done just a wee bit better than Barry F / Jim Chapman. Maybe this guy would have been shit and we'd be in the Lowland league now.Or be in League One if he was great.Hindsight is a great thing. How many thought Ian Cathro would be a success for Hearts?

Ivo den Bieman Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Yeah, impossible to predict either way. Most thought Jim Chapman was going to do well at Broadwood, but the argumentative oddball crashed far sooner than anyone predicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Toboggan Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Would be interested to know when he did apply and get rejected. If it was in the summer then I understand why he didn't get it, although in hindsight maybe a bad choice, as I'm sure after taking a risk and giving the job to Ferguson, a guy who never had experience managing in Scotland, they wanted what they thought would be a safer appointment of someone who had managed in the lower leagues before Obviously if it was after Chapman was punted, I'm glad he got knocked back for Lennon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
