RossBFaeDundee Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Christ. Would've rather closed the club down than back down on the move, and inviting Raith fans to support someone else if they don't like it. Never mind burning the bridge, it's fucking nuked now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Do we think anyone else in the club knew he was speaking to the journalist, or was this him just doddering about on his own? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 What the absolute.....So all the previous statements by the club were just nonsense then if this is what he actually thinks. The sooner that old p***k is away from OUR club the better.Wonder if he'll be telling us to go support one of the other 41 clubs when the season tickets go on sale. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nairney Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I went back to my first game, since the implosion, last Saturday. I also submitted an application for the new fans forum. Still felt very unhappy about the same out of touch hangers-on remaining part of our board and scunnered with the football on show… however, I was hopeful that the season was nearly over and soon we might see positive change on and off the park next season. Now? F*cking hell! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably, based on today's news, they're either not consulting Sim or expressly going against his wishes. I'd assume the former, but he can't be involved in stuff like drafting the 'apology' statements (or even the appointment of Susan Simpson?) because he obviously doesn't see the need. It feels like he must be barely involved with the day-to-day now on things like the Fan Panel, and instead he's just turning up every now and again to run his mouth in the press and expose himself as the regressive, abhorrent, silly auld c**t that he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Sim was there on Saturday you should have asked to speak to him. Then again why do that when you can come on here to seek attention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, cause he knew then that Sim was going to run his mouth off in the press and make the club look like a bunch of c***s again. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it comes back to the underlying problem of checks and balances (or the lack thereof) in how decisions are made at the club. People inside the club have spent months taking steps - baby steps, but steps nonetheless - towards restoring goodwill and bringing fans and volunteer groups back on-side, and yet the owner is still able to go completely off-script when taking to the press by effectively saying he doesn't understand what all the fuss was about. You would have thought someone like Sim, who's made a whole career out of good governance and prudent business practice, would have wanted to ensure he was properly briefed before talking to the press, but clearly not... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 At least he's not making these comments as chairman of the club. So hopefully they can be recorded that way ie the thoughts of an out of touch owner and not those of the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he does say in the article that those (involved in decision making) are “my people”. Obviously there are a few different ways to take that comment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when you do find him you can have a stand up argument with a 70 year old man. That’ll show you in a good light. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I get the impression that all the infrastructure stuff is his real passion, and the day to day football stuff, he intended for the CEO to deal with. Hence, the artifical pitch, the North Stand "hub" and "The Dugout" as he's apparently calling it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why an argument? So basically no numbnuts will just go on a forum to get back up from the usual suspects. The fact Sim was in Kirkcaldy to announce the new shirt sponsorship might have given him the inkling he would be at the game. Absolutely no harm in asking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
