Talk of boycotting after yesterday seems very premature, I'd give the board a few days to get something on the website apologising for the racism accusation now the case has been settled, an apology and having admitted they made mistakes puts that to bed. They said about bids and things would be moving on in the next couple of weeks so see what happens there.
I'd like to see the btb bid go on, fan involvement would be great for our club, I'll also (and I'm probably in a small minority here) be happy for the MSG to still be involved with a smaller shareholding. There have been time when this club and plenty others our size and bigger have been close to extinction so to chase anyone (especially with money and business contacts) away seems daft to me. There's already enough ***** travelling to see celtic/rangers every other week from falkirk and surrounding areas without chasing anyone else away.
Let's hope things move on, we can all get back to the games and the team kicks on, COYB.
Excellent post.
Totally agree.

Been busy since the EGM but my post meeting thoughts are very positive indeed.
The Board and msg won the battle but LOST the war.
Very much a Pyrrhic victory.
The Board individually and collectively admitted they were dysfunctional which makes a nonsense of the major shareholders voting against the resolution.
I very much applaud the people who called this EGM as the glare of publicity will undoubtedly see big changes.
I expect to hear within a week to 10 days (as promised by CL) as to who the preferred bidder is and I would guess it will be the ‘fan ownership’ scheme and I would think that Andy Thomson will resign along with MR and ML.
I was impressed with Gary Deans who will take on the AT role although he was correctly told to zip it due to him not being involved in all the cockups.
I would suggest that a good move would be for the Board to extend the early bird ST offer to the end of July and to put out a proper statement giving a full apology for all the well documented disasters, announcing the Board changes and giving the go ahead to the fan ownership scheme.
It was pleasing to hear SA state that he had no problem with diluting his share stake.
It was quite painful to watch the Board being skewed by KJ who had all the correspondence and timelines at his fingertips.
I think we should be able to move on from here.
Apologies for the delay in giving my thoughts.

I think the EGM on Friday is going to be extremely interesting.
it will be very difficult for the Board NOT to explain what has been going on and why fans are being kept in the dark.
Im keeping my powder dry till I hear what they have to say.
In the meantime all this boycott stuff is very premature.

I totally agree with all the points being made about the deviousness of the Board after what was agreed at the last AGM.
I just don’t think that boycotting the team is the right way to go about it.
I shall attend the EGM and listen to what is said and then make up my mind as to the honesty or otherwise of the Board and msg.

Relatively impressed today.
Much better than last year.
It will take some time to gel but looks good so far.
Maybe some of the idiots on here should start supporting the team rather than getting bogged down in politics.
ill be at the EGM.

As someone on here said a wee while ago, if there was a village full of idiots, lex would still be the village idiot.
Andy Thomson is no better, he’s got a bigger ego than George Craig had and that’s saying something.
I cant believe sometimes the utter buffoons running our club. The Trump And Johnstone show.
Just hope that Boris is half as good as Trump.
American stock market and economy is at an all time high.
Whats not to like

He’d be great.
Without a club.

All three are top guys.
Seems a bit odd, as if we are being sold, why appoint 3 new directors?

There are a similar group of us main stand stalwarts who are Tory through and through but we won’t buy until the new board are in place. There is no connection between our loyalty to the club and our political persuasion. I even have some lefty friends better a lefty than a fifer.What about The Brexit Party?
There are plenty of us and we’re not afraid to shout it from the rooftops.

Figures or get to f**k.
If you have a look at the 2015 or 2016 accounts you will see that loans of around £200 k were forgiven by directors and major shareholders. A major gesture.
Can’t remember the exact figures but it is a matter of public record.
my guess is that it was MR and SA

Heard from a source that the Manager has been given a budget and told to sign players.

Very disappointed with the notice on the website.
completely lacking in any information.
Treating fans like shit.

Really getting depressed by the lack of any information coming out of the Club.
when you have to rely on the FH for news, it’s a very sad day.
At least I’ve been very far away for the last three weeks which has helped somewhat to lessen the pain.
unfortunately, back next week.
On the point of buying ST’s or NOT, my feeling has always been that shareholders,directors, managers, players come and go but, hopefully the club keeps going under various forms of stewardship.
During my spell watching FFC, the total demise of clubs has been surprisingly few with Third Lanark and Clydebank being the two that come to mind but no doubt there have been others. Some have gone but transmogrified back into their original name and format - Airdrie Motherwell and Rangers come to mind.
I shall therefore be buying the usual stuff and , hopefully, looking forward with the usual far too high expectations to the season ahead.

Whatever happens I’ll be going, god willing.
if there’s a positive change then I’ll happily pay more for the ST, plus BfL and fan ownership if it gets off the ground
Time to rally round and offer support under the right conditions.

Haven’t seen him play recently but I used to think Williamson of Dunfermline was a great attacking RB.
Maybe Higgy could go a job for us in League1.
Both released by the Pars.
