Believe The Hype Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 1 hour ago, Enigma said: So what’s going to happen at this AGM then? A lot of anger but ultimately nothing changes, or the chance of a resignation or two? It's an EGM so I'm guessing will be far more 'supporter shareholder' led than the MSG or board. No questions about who is going to be on the front post at corners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANEWHOPE Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Seen a few dismissing the front post at corners question and also belittling the important signings from the juniors. These are what the people want and if recent history tells us anything it is to trust the people when it comes to the big issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray was given a choice of signing 18 average players or 10 quality ones, and he’s rightly taken the quality route. I read something on twitter yesterday that claimed the Board haven't actually put any of their own money in as promosied and that funds from the ST sales and Vaulks deal is being used this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries and suspensions come into play and we have DKD and 7 or 8 others. Enough to cope IMHO. Cant see dkd signing when we've already got connolly and telfer and other areas need cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound as your surprised at that, lets face it the amount of spin they have tried over the past couple of seasons would put Alistair Campbell to shame, you can pretty much say any comment they come out with in regards to highest budget, etcthe opposite is closer to home than the truth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 The road from A to B is never a straight road with our MSG and BOD. It’s their property to do with as they please. They will spin everything to suit their own agenda, and I expect more of the same tomorrow. That old saying of “being economical with the truth” is how I see it panning out. I don’t think they will choose to lie, but they certainly won’t be forthcoming with the truth, that’s for sure. I personally will be surprised if tomorrow turns out to be a positive watershed moment. They are going to be irritated that some pesky shareholders are trying to interfere with their toy. Divide and conquer will be the name of the game, and I expect Kenny and David to be the targets. Remember this. If they can piss off those who have pledged to the point where they no longer want anything to do with it, then they will effectively kill off Kenny and David’s work. That will be the outcome they want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be the outcome they want.I totally agree with this and it makes me really angry and more determined not to give them my cash. They are supposed to be fellow Falkirk fans so how can they justify turning their back on a initiative that was going to unite everyone at the club and put £800k in the coffers and possibly have fans who were willing to donate money into the club on a monthly basis beyond the initial 3 years of the scheme.It's not even that the scheme was designed to take control of the club. It was a way for loyal fans to own a share in the club they love.If they put the shutters up tomorrow they can honestly go f**k themselves, I won't be back. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be hoping that they can keep their pockets zipped up after that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Thing is most of us are savvy enough to know how people work i.e. take the path of least resistance being one of them. As BPM said and also Duncan said if the MSG want different things i.e. some want to cling on and some want to sell then divide and conquer can be as much applied to their own situation than the fans one. My own view club isnt being sold the 3 new directors are put in place to make it look like there is continuity on a sale going through and oversight for transition when in reality its them strengthening there hand and voice i would say putting 3 fans on is part of the divide and conquer and lets face it no one would attack someone they know or have known for years. (If we dont go up this season then they will have f**ked it (even more than they already have) i dread to think whats next for us without new ownership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them earned their seat on the board by being a mole within the Patrons group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets ask the question tomorrow and hopefully get a clear answer. It's an EGM is it not? The board have to put the motions that have deemed to be competent to a vote. They have no requirement to discuss anything other than the motion in front of them. Reading everything on here, it appears that people think that this is going to be a general questions and answer session rather than a properly constituted EGM.

Grangemouth Bairn Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Right boys, that arsehole @TheScarf is on the Sevco thread comparing us to Sevco fans.

Yeah, unfortunately going to have to put that down as a mis-step from GB. Fortunately he currently has plenty credit in the bank after the Tidser/Branch Ton golden shower incident. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
