    I don’t think he should be sacked but someone should be having a word in his ear about what he should and shouldn’t be saying when representing Alloa FC. The allegations against Griffiths were investigated by the police and no charges were preferred which should be an end to the matter. Of course fans of other clubs will use it to beat/goad him and he will get abuse on social media as mud sticks but this shouldn’t be done by other club officials.

    kept the comment in the highlights package aswell 🙈

    I hope you’re right however Garry O’Connor scored 16 goals for Hibs in the top flight only a year before joining Morton and doing nothing for the rest of his career. Stokes disappeared in to obscurity after winning the Scottish Cup aged 29 and Riordan plummeted at 27 with his best return being a few goals for East Fife. All these players were hugely talented but for whatever reason their careers ended prematurely. 

    Think it’s the above that makes me very weary about celebrating this signing too much. The only person who can make it work is Griffiths because if he gets fit he will demolish the Premiership let alone this league. Big IF at the moment for me but certainly will make for interesting viewing. 

    it is a bit of a gamble, I agree on that but IMO its 100% worth taking, 4/5 month deal to get us in the playoff and give ourselfs a chance of promotion - the club laid out how damaging it will be to us to spend another season in this league, the extra money generated from a couple of playoff games would probably cover his wages to the end of the season. Its got the potential to be a fantastic or disaster of a signing, I'm not denying that but I say we roll the dice.

    LG would be an unbelievable signing for us IMO, it was only 15 months ago he was part of the Scotland squad that got us to the euros - if he does end up at TFS that's a monumental fall from grace in a very short time period, surely it wont take that much to get him back to somewhere near where he was 15 months ago. Although I'm not totally convinced by MR yet all his signings this window have been upgrades and have all improved the team so I will trust him on this aswell.

    So if he signs now the FSS group are going to be disgruntled?

    That’s going create harmony

    no, the FSS has done its job - taken the temp of its members and passed on the info to the directors that represent them, also TBF they never posted it on PnB, it was sent to each member - as it should have been.

    Tbh it’s an odd line to put in the statement at all. It reads to me as the board saying it’s basically our way or the highway. 

    Not a great look to me when the board is exclusively comprised of members of one group that owns a minority stake in the club.

    Although minority the PG together own the single largest shareholding in the club, other larger shareholders, SA, MR and the Rawlins have all took a step back, ie want nothing to do with running the club. 

    On DGW, without even looking at the morality of the decision - the spilt it will obviously cause within the fanbase should be enough to kibosh the signing, especially at a time everyone need to be pulling together. I'm not convinced today's statement is teeing up the signing as many seem to think.

    I don’t see why we always feel the need to abuse anyone on here who has an alternative view.
    Frankly there are a number of valid points in there and it’s not unreasonable that if the BoD or others are calling for investment they come up with some information to provide us with confidence.
    Personally, I’m ok with the manager choice but not if he’s going to have to rely on Holt for new signings.
    It would be good to see some information on early strategy etc from the new board this week….

    I think they (new BoD) are meeting fans in the south stand tonight, hopefully a bit more info to come out.
