I was struck at one of the virtual AGM/EGM that when asked the question, they confirmed that nobody on the board at that time had any shares in the club.

Kind of weird day to announce it with today being a massive day for Scottish football, will go under the radar - unless that's what they were going for.

Longest morning ever.

ur the 3rd person i've heard liken our new strip to to Dunfermlines, white pinstripes I take it?

It shouldn't need to be one or the other, Rawlins sated when be came in he wanted to work with fans groups and the board when they were assembled said they wanted to work with fans groups and have fan representation on the board, everybody should be willing to work together, as Shadwell said it's not as if he has 50+%, he's in minority and therefore should be working with others - so why when a group of fans come along with 500K+ are they turned away - the difference that money could make to the upcoming season is massive.

I get where you're coming from but that would mean the group investing a lot more money than Rawlins did with basically no control while Rawlins runs the show, that dosent seem fair to me.

They weren't the only one to have had a response like that from the club recently, see the Crunchie Initiative guys.

Have to forgive my ignorance of business here.... Whats stopping them from donating/selling their holdings to the fnas group and the fans group then forcing their way to a position of influence accordingly? I believe any shareholder selling their shares have to get BoD approval.

it's all true unfortunately, we must be absolutely loaded if Deans is worth picking over a 500K investment from fans.

3rd or 4th choice?

The thought of possibly getting landed with Alex Rae has made me willing to accept just about anybody else.

He is involved with the CI, he made that clear at the beginning of his post.

He loves all the attention of being chair, he made an arse of himself pre season with all the reconstruction chat - was taken for a chump during that whole process, let M&M lead us into this season then waited until the 18 games were up before getting shot, IMO he's been a disaster of a chairman, unfortunately I don't think he is about to fall on this sword.

They have a massive chip on their shoulders because they think they were "wronged" in 2012....that's what it's boils down too, moronic neanderthals unwilling to accept reality.

still, could be doing with a clearout and maybe a couple of new faces.

As much as I would like to see Holt out the door with the majority of the players I just can't see it happening, they have nailed their flag to the mast with him and can't see the BOD going full circle. There has to be a redefining of his role though, he has obviously been involved in the first team training/tactics since he came in and in my mind that's not a job of a a DoF. He should be scouting, setting up this new youth system and idefiting players to pass on to the management team - who should absolutely have the final say on signings. It severely worries me that he is deciding on the new manager, by biggest fear is that he picks a yes man and proceeds to micromanage him from the stands. The BOD need a clearout aswell - how many are actually on it now? must be close to double figures with the Rawlins both on it now, it seems a ridiculous number of people. We need some fan involvement in there too - the BtB bid that was turned down in favour of MC a couple of years ago seems even more ridiculous with every passing season, hopefully there is a way the guys who were involved in that can get round the table with Rawlins and work something out.

the "our time" pish was from Houston's last season, 17/18

60 is an incredibly low number, the share issue was set up in an awful way IMO. They priced out fans who wanted to put a couple hundred pounds in by setting the min amount at 400 and were also turning away people who wanted to make a more substantial purchase.

exactly, get an out of work manager and tell them if they somehow manage to get us up thru the playoffs they will get a contract for next season, will be plenty that would jump at that chance.

Any club that uses univtec.com for the streaming refuses to play on my TV and also have to revert to the PC. I think that's the unmanned camera games, all inhouse games streams seem to work fine.

Glad to here they had a "good positive meeting", Im sure all will be fine from now on.
