60`s bairn Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 "John Park, one of Scotland’s most respected football talent spotters, will become the Club’s Football Director. He will have funds to boost the current playing squad, if the negotiations can be concluded before the summer signing deadline." What happened to the shortfall being made up by the current Board until the new one is in place?? Also notice there is no mention of who will feature on Mark Campbell`s BOD. Hopefully these questions will be clarified with further statements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanBairn Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 This is not good news by the way. Knowing some of the people involved makes for a terrifying future. Honestly believe in this case it's 'better the devil you know'. The BTB was never going to get the respect it deserved due to the some of the MSG being petty, petty MEN. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Somethings been picked which I’m pleased about but can’t help feeling a bit down about the BtB offer not being accepted or at least incorporated into some sort of deal. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. Who from the MSG is staying/going? What percentage of the club will be owned by Campbell? Is there any space for potential fans representation of some sort? Hopefully but still wary is where I’m at. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkirkLad Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Buchanan and Van Dijk at CB with Wanyama as our enforcer. It'll do for league 1. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pressley's second season's hirings looked like they could take us back up, unfortunately the best were sold in the winter break after the Celtic League Cup Semi and it fizzled out. Even miller and higgenbottom were utter mince the first season they were at the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kircer bairn Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Ever the optimist let's start a wish list of three or four players to target Stevie May as striker Craig Sibbald as midfielder Luke Leahy as defender 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 The statement reads like the list of things you'd come up with alongside your mates in the boozer when you're brainstorming how you'd spend the Euromillions winning. Far too good to be true so I will reserve judgement. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better getting a few more champ level boys in this year and then investing when we're up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southstand_bairn Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 At least we seem to be working towards something......it does all sound good on paper though. A bit uneasy about the pressure being on to conclude before the end of august for funds to be released. So are we on ice until then? John Park certainly came out of nowhere! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the size of our squad and some of the things going on behind the scenes, I think you can add that to the list of "inaccurate" statements that our board have released. Well done BTW. You called it right and correctly predicted who would win the race. I just hope some of your other concerns - which I share - prove to be wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ecosse83 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 No idea of this is any good or not but at least change is on the horizon. I'm coming to the conclusion some folk will moan no matter what happens at the club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Suffering Bairn Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Well, tentatively excited about the new club statement. Sounds a bit too good to be true. If it does work out sounds great to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far too good to be true so I will reserve judgement. Not often you and I are in agreement but we're on the same page with this one. It sounds great, but at the end of the day it's a statement designed to get people on board. It says what we'd have wanted it to say. I'm not against it as such - in fact if it works out I'll be delighted - but I think it's wise to be cautious until we see 1) who's involved, and 2) what they actually do, rather than just what they're promising to do. Still, if it dilutes / removes the power of some people on the MSG that's a very good start. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
