I doubt they would have celebrated with them in that manner if they had the faintest idea of Dempster's decision making. Oh I wouldn't be sure of that. Quite a few of our committee have a history of duplicitous behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not renew until I know where we are playing. When we were out of Hampden for half of seasons 2013-14 and 2014-15 I still renewed my season ticket even although I knew I wouldn't be travelling to Airdrie to see any "home" games. Similarly I waived the offer of a refund for the cancelled fixtures in 2019-20. I also made a point of taking out an associate membership just to put more money into the club and I'm sure many of us did the same out of a wish to contribute to the ongoing costs of keeping the club going. The club admin (and that's a vague term for a currently vague concept) really need to up their game drastically if they want to enjoy similar goodwill from supporters such as myself in the near future. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an86 Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 If I know our famous public relations as well as I think I do, we'll harness the buzz of the extraordinary victory for people power in the southside of Glasgow today by appointing Malky Mackay within twenty-four hours. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Your Own Socks Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) Somebody missing from the coaching group here...honesty, integrity and loyalty all blown in one picture. Edited May 14, 2021 by Bring Your Own Socks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 What's everyone's view on Mackay? Not that the club cares about that. Not looking to jump down the throat of anyone who isn't bothered/would welcome him. Just interested to see how strongly the opinions swing either way. My view is pretty clear on the matter. I'd be embarrassed and ashamed if we appointed him, particularly given the diversity of the local community we want to reach out to. Would absolutely piss all over the enthusiasm that I've got for where we might be heading. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, unless Malky was the guy lying under the van in Kenmure Street yesterday, I would say "thanks but no thanks" If he has genuinely repented & learnt his lesson that would be unfortunate, but appointing him would just be giving our opponents a stick to beat us with. For a club that should be looking to grow our support, that is the last thing we need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that he went to courses, to do with race relations after he was sacked at Cardiff, otherwise he would not have been employed by the SFA. We all make mistakes in life and hopefully we all learn by our mistakes. If he has learned, and I'm sure he has, if it is him for QP so be it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williebraveheart Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I have an issue with his ability. The guy made a mistake that thousands of us have made in the past. I will not be hypocritical but I am not at all convinced of his ability to be the right man for us. Same with Stubbs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavvyheid Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Just had at look on the club website and looked at the coaching staff page. Looks like the goalie coach Stuart Garden is no longer with us ( no mention of that anywhere ) and that Laurie Ellis and Gordon Forrest remain along with Quinno. Will the new coach bring in his own backroom team only time will tell. 1 hour ago, williebraveheart said: I have an issue with his ability.

Anonymous Spider Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Tough one - a big part of me does think he's due an opportunity if he's shown remorse etc. I'm not massively sure he has actually done that though... It's a no from me. It would be a huge distraction from what we're wanting to achieve and and off the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his ability as a football manager is top notch, but might never be fully tested. He was tipped to be the next "great Scot". He fecked up what was probably going to be an outstanding career. Who knows how things will go for him. Known him since he was a very wee boy and couldn't praise him highly enough. Will be interesting to see if he can move on from the position he put himself in.

HoustonSpider99 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Malky MacKay can f**k off. Racist past it homophobe. Like an86, i fear that this will really stall our community club vision, overall being a stupid appointment. You can only hope that Dempster and the shady committee understand this.Laurie Ellis and Ray MacKinnon go together like peas in a pod. Imagine that Ellis is still here on an interim basis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymous Spider Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 A bit scunnered with matters southside at the moment. Some good news and a bit of fan engagement at the start of next week please. That would be just the ticket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qpfc Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) You’ve got to think the manager situation will be announced imminently. With the betfred cup commencing July 14th, you’d be thinking players will return to pre season at least a month prior to that. A whole month until then to appoint a manager, assess the current squad, offer contracts/release players, recruit new players Going to be a busy summer I think Edited May 15, 2021 by qpfc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Results are all that matter in professional football. There is nothing unique about QP in the sense that you're now just another wee club with a sugar daddy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
