60`s bairn

Ifs thats true, the money MC was offering must have been the deciding factor for them. Wasn`t the best financial offer either from what I heard..and if that`s true, the attraction lies elsewhere.

I heard from a good source that his presentation was virtually non-existent & that the BTB & Alan Gow presentations were far better but I`ve no idea how true that is.

Used to love away days in Billy Lamont`s time as Manager. His teams were good defensively with players like Jim Dempsey, Roddy Manley and Brian Martin but could score a few goals as well. Our form away from home was fantastic and the season we got promoted we only lost 15 goals away from home in 19 games and scored 31.

My mind was taken back to Dave Clarke`s era too as the football was very negative..so much so that for the first time in 25 years I refused to buy a season ticket. However, in his defence, we were in the Premier League and he did hit teams on the break. What we are witnessing at the moment is much worse.

I think that confirms change unlikely if Mr Campbell takes over the reins anytime soon...unless he`s being duplicitous of course

I think you might be right that Campbell`s team would get rid but it`s up for debate. However, if Gow got it, it`s guaranteed.

I agree that there are no guarantees with any bid. However, Gowser would have to go through the same DD process and if there was a problem, hopefully it would be highlighted and he would be booted. I also agree he & his backers won`t be coming into this looking to lose money. I think the attraction for him would be taking the role of Director of Football and moving the club forward. Making a profit from taking the Club into the Premiership would be a bonus. Haven`t a clue what his backers would be looking to gain just as I don`t know what MC`s backers are looking for.

If that`s aimed at me, I`m not trying to convince you or anybody else, I`m replying to posts stating facts as I know them. They are correct to the best of my knowledge but it`s up to you whether you choose to believe it or not. If anybody else has more knowledge on the subject, I`m quite happy to be corrected.

Is anybody even trying??

He may well have pulled out...I`m talking about the original bid. Don`t know what the position is now.

There was one investor of Indian origin as far as I know but most involved were British. Don`t know why the press decided to call it an Indian consortium!!!!

They certainly did but I believe he`s still interested. Whether the Board are interested in him is another matter.

I don`t see what we can do even after DD is completed. I would imagine the board`s decision will have been agreed with the MSG. Therefore it will stand at the EGM regardless of what the rest of the shareholders think. You can have a good rant at them but we saw how much influence that had at the last EGM, or is this situation different??

Nah...he forgot they were all away on holiday, easily done.

That was my exact thoughts, not the clearest of comments. I`m just amazed that Mr Campbell didn`t realise people were on holiday etc when he was spouting that the deal would be concluded by the end of August

Then a complete re-write of H&S rules which would mean players wearing hard hats and safety glasses with the manager doubling up as announcer so he can shout out instructions as the game progresses. Hmmm, come to think of it, that last one might be an improvement??

I`m beginning to think he`d get on very well with MC, a couple of fantasists together.

A guy I`d love to have seen play for us this season...a great chance to learn the game, progress and move on for a decent fee.

Trying to deflect interest from the other pic Mr B????

Digging through the pic archives brought me to these two pics from Holland...no names mentioned

It`s a truly unbelievable database, what a work must have gone in to that. The detail includes reserve and U19 games going back decades. Fantastic piece of work.

The "Archives" I was talking about searching through were my own. The league game was one of my first games taking pics for the Club and the Challenge cup game was nearer the end

Yes, you`re right but It was the last league game I was highlighting.

Just been looking through the "archives" and as far as I can see the last league game v Clyde at Broadwood was the season we won the league 2004/5. Wee Russell won us the game with one of his famous "chip" penalties.

I`m almost certain I read an article a few years back saying that they had the money laid aside to renew the pitch when the time came. However as you say, that` will most likely have been frittered away over the past two seasons of calamities.
