This is probably double figures times Random Guy has come with this pish. Utter pie in the sky I'm usually winding you up, but this was sent to me by a mate who has no interest in this site, and has sent me correct signing news before. Only clubs Alstons been linked with that I've seen were Hamilton and Dundee, and both were offering him "Championship wages". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I wouldn't want to see Jarvis, Waddington or Turner anywhere near the club again, they were shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you believe investment won't happen BPM? We have the various Herald stories about prospective new owners so someone's obviously feeding them intel. I'm not a fan of the Herald but for all their mistakes they don't make things up. I'd suggest that change - and thus investment - seem inevitable. The only reason to assume the worst be if you were listening to a source on the board or MSG who was spreading scare stories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakhtaoui would be a good signing at league one level guys, you could do a lot worse. He is above average at league one level but, not quite good enough for the championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirkfan1985 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I think El Bakhtaoui is the kind of player we should be targeting. Still something to prove in the championship, but absolute baller in League 1. A confidence boosting 30 league goals next season would set him up for another go at the championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I have zero interest in us signing strikers who have scored 7 goals in 3 years. He is murder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a critical time of the season and if this was a long drawn out affair it could be an issue with regards to the budget the manager has for players. The manager has players lined up and yet we're now in the third week after the season ended - with not a single signing. That suggests it may already be an issue, albeit as long as those players don't get fed up waiting and go elsewhere then it won't ultimately matter. Everything seems to be on hold just now. No confirmation of the full release list, no dates for strip or season ticket launch, no preseason announcements and even the Commercial Dept aren't pushing stories or sponsorships. We appear to be in limbo until the ownership / investment issue is resolved. It's obviously vital that we don't jump into bed with the next Craig Whyte, but I do agree with your concerns about timescales. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a worry, I see the fans/local business people have given a deadline for their offer. This has to be the right way to go, we can't hold out forever. I feel if the board have a shred of concern for the future of our club they have to push to have all this sorted out as soon as possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they can combine a terrace with a building behind it to service the astro pitch A terrace , even with a small section for away fans would improve the look of the stadium and the atmosphere no end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel if the board have a shred of concern for the future of our club they have to push to have all this sorted out as soon as possible. Their track record suggest that their primary concern will be for themselves, and what they are getting out of a potential sale, rather than the welfare of the club. The fact that everything is in a complete state of limbo, whilst every other club motors on with plans for next season, won't worry them too much. They know they are finished. Why else has there been absolutely nothing released in relation to season tickets? Because they know the reaction they are likely to get from 99.99% of the support (EdiClown being the 0.01%) if they simply put out a statement saying "Apologies for last season, here are the prices, business as usual, cough up sharpish". Just won't wash any more. That relationship is irreparably broken. Every last one of them needs to be gone, without any further delay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkzombie Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 the latest offer from the patrons/local business could be a winner IMO, it lets the MSG members walk away with some ££ for their shares (even though they previously stated they would gift them), it also allows for a large enough sum to go directly into this season playing budget. I'm also sure that if the group of patrons did manage to take control the BtB fan share scheme would get up and running, allowing a yearly injecting of cash for future seasons. annoying a couple of smaller shareholders within the MSG are holding out for more cash, ideally if patrons could split them up, deal with the ones who want to deal and sideline the other in any future regime, not sure if this is possible tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wullie robb Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 My question is this Just how much further can the club fall before the damage is irreparable. At the moment we have a Bod that doesn't have any interest in a Fan buyout, that is totally obvious. They could be interested in an outside investment but only if it lines pockets, that is totally obvious. Apart from one announcement of little significance about a board move the silence is deafening. The real people that keep FFC going deserve an explanation on the fiasco that is currently ensuing at the club. Perhaps after everything that has went on before no one should be surprised at the silence from a group of so called professional buisness people running FFC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 If you can buy off the ones that want to sell, there would no longer be a major shareholders group. Would seem to be half the problem solved straight away. One of them will break first. It could be pish but I've heard Miller and one other, not sure who want cash and this is the hold up with the fans buyout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
