Conroy linked with Montrose .???
Can we all make a pact that if any Montrose fans ask if he’s any good we say aye he’s amazing? Just until we're definitely shot of him. Don’t want to jinx any moves......

I’m genuinely quite happy with the signings so far. I think we have the makings of a really good team. A solid defence, with hard working midfield and front line with pace and power going forward. Cant complain. Plus, I still think we will add another few players, especially once we offload a couple still hanging round. Most of all though, I think I just believe we’ve the right management team in Murray and Millar. The best we’ve had in a good while IMO. Looking forward to the start of the season.

Thread title changed to make it more relevant to current circumstances.
Sensible. Think the majority of fans want to start feeling a bit more upbeat about things and look forward to the new season ahead.

And from that I'm pretty sure that you don't.
Good on you. I hope you’re a neutral. I hope you’re similar to many fans like myself who are bystanders getting scunnered with the embarrassment of the situation and some people’s posts on FB etc. I also hope you are pro-club and just want to see it thrive and have a winning team in the park. Ultimately that is what any fan should want. To see the team do well.

I'll absolutely hold my hands up and say I'm on the clubs side with this one. My reasoning being the military style posting and slaughtering of the club at every turn, I don't want to be associated with those type of actions, believe it or not, I was fairly neutral on this up until recently. Whether people like that or not is up to them, everyone is entitled to their opinion but it must be remembered that there are faults on both sides.
*see Facebook for military style approach.This.

I focused on the only question you asked, which was "Why else would the club set up their own community trust? "
I suggested an alternative explanation.
You agreed that it is possible that the explanation was correct.
That explanation is also speculation.
The fact that the community trust was registered in 2013 suggests that the actual explanation isn't as simple.
I think "conspiratorial" either doesn't mean what you think it means, or you don't know my views. Maybe both.
Practically Every comment you’ve made paints the club as the ones in the wrong or up to no good, so I’m quite sure I know your views. I am neutral in this but fetting fed up of the constant sniping and negativity toward he club. Positive club communications are being shot down by many people who clearly have a bee in their bonnet.

Err, maybe to increase the amount of money raised through charity events coming directly to the club?Love how you ignore the rest of the post & just focus on this one bit which can be used to portray the club board in a negative light again. Of course it’s a possibility but your suggestion is purely speculative with absolutely no evidence to back that up. The way I see it, the club and trust have fell out, the club see it as an irreconcilable relationship, therefore have set up their own community trust. Not saying it’s an ideal situation to find ourselves in but I don’t share your conspiratorial views.

From a personal point of view, the worse thing about the whole feud is I've friends in both "camps". There are good people on either side who just want what's good for the club. But rather than working together there are some folk that seem to be doing everything in their power to inflame the situation.
This. There’s plenty people caught up in the middle, be it by knowning people in both camps or knowing none in either; just neautrals who want the best for their club. I am one of the latter. Agree though that it’s clear as day on the FB page that some people are inflaming the situation and I fear that it’s gone too far and bridges may have been permanently burnt. Why else would the club set up their own community trust?
When legal issues arise and lawyers get involved, it never ends well. Very much seems like a divorce is in process. A very bitter and public one at that.

It was a good thing already being done by the supporters trust so why the need to have everything "in-house". A need to control everything isn't necessarily a good thing, just ask any person in a controlling abusive relationship how that works out for them.
It very much looks as if the club felt they no longer had a good relationship with the Trust, therefore they’re setting up their own. If that benefits the club and fans, How is it a bad thing?

Folk on Twitter wailing and weeping last week, with the season barely finished. Creaming their collective pants this week after a couple of decent "on paper" signings.
Fickle bunch.
Although it's looking promising, I'd still place us nowhere near contenders for the top spot and would caution that the likes of Robertson and Page came to us rated highly.
What I actually find hilarious is the ones who’ve looked for every possible opportunity to moan about the club, lack of communication, signings etc, who’ve now all but vanished when the good news comes. Can’t even comment on the positives. There’s fickle, but then there’s sheer backwards.

Reads not bad. Plenty experience above our level.

Adam Eckersley will be a huge improvement on Kieran MacDonald if true.
Sounds very promising. In Murray we trust.
There’s been plenty moans on the Facebook page recently regarding the current signings lack of experience etc.
If we do sign Eckersley, how long do you give it before someone moans that he’s too old?

A slightly more relaxed and positive vibe on this thread over the last 24hrs which makes a pleasant change.
Theres a long way to go before the start of next season but I’ve a good feeling about the next couple of weeks in that we will see a few more players leave and some decent signings coming in.
Heard some names being mentioned that I’d be happy with. Not inside info per say, more rumours which is why I’m not mentioning said names as Could be total nonsense. However my overarching feeling of positivity comes from my belief that we have the right people in charge and we are starting to see better communication from the club. Those two things alone make me have faith.

We can’t retain who we want (picture is we’re not competitive). 2 clear examples so far. And apart from a squad of teens we’ve not signed anyone (Queen’s Park amateur and Jimmy Naecunt today aside). The o’Neil thing is a funny one. Turns down a £25 pay rise and folk lose their shit. Off for more money we hear. Signs for stenhousemuir then apparently he’s a bit daft and it’s alluded he’s made a mistake. In reality I’m sure he’s looked after himself and done ok. This new regime so far is dubious (announcing players as signed that have moved on). I hope they win it back but not impressed so far.
How do you know it was £25 more? Or don’t you and you’re just guessing/making shit up? Another example of Airdrie fans looking for any opportunity to get stuck into the club.
Yes it’s been years of misery, but let’s not continue to compound this with a preseason of gloom and negativity.
Nobody knows if the two new signings will be good or not. Nobody knows who else we might sign. Nobody knows how we will fair next season. However people are quick to judge and say how shit everything is. Depressing as f**k.
Hows about we give the management team a fucking chance to sign a full team and see how they do? Crazy idea eh? Back the club? The club we all make out we support?
Or should we just continue to make unfounded claims of despair?

He pin pointed Mcintosh. Offered him a full time deal so presume he was desired. Thought he had him. Something happened, he fucked off.
There’s backing the club and then there’s ignoring shit that’s happening in front of you. E.g. O’Neil left apparently for money but signed for Stenhousemuir. There’s a picture being painted.
Having said that I’m realistic. I presume we’ll go with kids and left overs. Get behind them. However don’t think we’re chucking money at this. No shame in that, where would it come from after all. Let’s not pretend/think otherwise though.
We can all pretend/think what we want.
heres an idea. Let’s wait until we’ve signed up our whole squad before slating it or making assumptions about it and our budget etc. Let’s see how that idea pans out amongst our patient fan base....

Incompetence covers it. Can you imagine if for instance Man Utd, Celtic or Rangers did likewise. There would be uproar. Announcing players before they sign for them then to go elsewhere really doesn’t happen all the time. I can’t believe you’re even suggesting it does. Absolutely ridiculous
Scandalous. Can’t wait for this drama to be back page of every newspaper, it’s such a terrible and incompetent thing to have happened. *please read the above with a sarcastic tone.*

Maybe because fan’s expectations don’t reset at the end of a season and the club might want create a bit of positivity before season tickets go on sale.By rushing in and signing 10 players to appease the fans? Yeah good way to go.

The season only finished 3 weeks ago...why would the club be feeling the need to appease the fans this early? I'd get your point if the season was starting in a few weeks time but it's just short of 2 months till the first league cup game. We rushed out last May and signed up what was supposed to be a league challenging side...look how that turned out! I'm more than happy to wait and see what Murray and Millar bring together!
Season has not even fully finished. Cup final was only today and Premier League play off still to finish. So basically there’s still a whole close season to go, yet some fans are still panicking. Mental.

I'd more be questioning why they were so keen to get the information out so quickly, before he had even signed. It's as if they thought they needed to appease the fans for a bit because there's not many other signings on the horizon. A club that had a few quality signings lined up wouldn't be feeling pressured to put out early announcements. The fact the news of him not signing is then hidden at the bottom of another article just backs this up. That's more where my concern lies.
Hardly hidden if it’s blatantly mentioned in a post from the club. Drama drama.

Raith interested in MacDonald,they must see something about him .
He was one of our best players at getting up the line, past his man and putting a decent cross in. Even when part of a back 3!!!!
I’d have played his at wingback over Edwards every week. Edwards is a decent prospect but not great going forward yet IMO.
For me, McDonald is not a terrible loss but not a bad player to keep as part of a squad due to his versatility.

Were we actually interested in Wallace or was that just chat on here?
Exactly. That’s the danger with social media. Rumours from anonymous posters in here or comments on the FB page can quickly turn into more that they should. The club have been forthcoming with their communications in recent weeks and i applaud them for that. Not heard anything direct from the club about being interested in Wallace so him signing for another team cannot be seen as a ‘loss’ for us. There’s plenty time and plenty available players out there. Yes, I’d love some signing news but I’d also like to avoid limiting ourselves to ex-players (unless clearly good enough) as well as not rushing in just to please people.
Ill make my overall judgement on the playing squad once they’re recruited and I’ve seen a few games.

We, Airdrie, didn’t play that well today either to be honest. Some decent spells but I am confident we will only get better and some of our main players didn’t start today. Think you’ll do OK due to Goodwillie, but is he got injured..... Defence definitely needs improvements.
