ajwffc Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 The worst FFC strip by a country mile. Wasn't it chosen by Fulston's daughter or is my memory failing me? A rich man's play thing eh, never again? That is what I remember getting mentioned in the past. Something to do with a college course or similar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retains the seats the Rawlins have 2. Gives continuity with 2 of the current board still there ensuring some of the foundations already in place are not torn up. 3. Gives a balance with the Rawlins investment (remember to retain his 26% he would need to invest another 160-170k) 4. Brings fans representation back to the club 5. brings a new chairman in to ensure that all sides pull together for the benefit of the club and giving the club the fresh start it needs and deserves All that and the club get best part of 750k as a result. if that is bull in a China shop so be it. I’m no expert so please correct me if I’m wrong but is number 3 not a massive stumbling block? Why would Rawlins want to invest another £170k to have the same stake as he does currently and have less control? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To provide substantial external investment/working capital and add additional human expertise/local business knowledge of benefit to the business he is the major shareholder in and should want to see succeed and out grow its competitors maybe?! As a director he actually has a duty by law to take decisions only in the best interests of the business.

Why did they issue all those new shares? if anyone buys them then the Rawlins will automatically have their stake diluted and have to invest more if they want to maintain 26%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate Collins and Levein are the top diddymen of Scottish football, but Dodds isn't far behind them tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re all working yourselves up into a froth before actually seeing what’s in store. So far, I’m quite happy with the coach choice plus the two new signings. You may be correct but let’s give the new regime a fair crack of the whip. Has anything happened that we couldn't have done before Rawlins appeared though? The signings and manager are at exactly the same level as you'd expect from us and that we've been at for the past two years. I'm just not seeing anything new. For a guy with so many contacts and experience of clubs in the US and England he's probably never heard of sheerin or hetherington or Williamson. Am I the only one that wants a bit more from this boy that now seems to be running our club? What's he bringing to the table apart from 300k?

Your record under him and McCann was mediocre at best. Barring a good result in the cup it was nothing special at all . 6 wins in 17 matches? Nothing to shout about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every club had issues at one stage or another last season. Dodds might do alright who knows. You never know what these guys will be like to you give them a go. Might be brilliant might be a disaster . Sheerin is the same although I suppose he has got a bit of previous experience in the top job do will know what it's like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our rivals......didn't have to play 40 games in 5 weeks after a un-arranged 6 week winter break? At one point Hearts and Dunfermline had played 4 and 5 games more than us respectively. Dundee I think 3 and then 4 at one point. Dodds and McCann both said at the time they's never worked like that before. We ran out of steam as any club with that ridiculous schedule would have done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
