joozy Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I reckon the magnitude of the damage done to the club in both reputational and financial terms from the other week will only become clearer in the long-run. The insane levels of player and management turnover in recent years already had made us a deeply unattractive destination. Therefore we need to pay over the odds or offer ludicrous 3-year deals to attract total diddies. When you factor in the fact that we're now an international laughing stock with a board that seem quite happy to badmouth ex-players in public..... Jeez, we'll be having to offer Stranraer's sub keeper Messi-esque wages to sign with us before too long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgerthewitness Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 This going viral means it's more likely these arseholes get chased out. They just need condemnation from another club's chairman/owner for full-hounding bingo. We might even attract the attention of someone looking to invest & change things for the better... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the Rawlins? .....maybe it’s a ploy to ruin the club in the short term, allowing them to buy shares at a rock bottom price and get them over 50% shareholding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have the feeling of The Producers about it.

Was always the case and was the reason Rawlins bought into FFC in the first place. It is textbook American business doctrine. Token spend to get your foot in the door Sit in the background as incompetent board members manage decline Buy out the rest of the shareholding at the bottom of the market. Lets be blunt FFC has no assets so basically worthless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers might look good....but by God, the players the data is throwing up as half decent are mince ! In saying that...I don't know how you can sign someone with negative numbers....unless it's the DoF's laddie ! 2 hours ago, FalkirkBairn2021 said: I had no idea we were trying some Moneyball approach. Holy f**k. That explains a lot. Our DOF stood up at the Q&A and said 'here's a stat for you, Jaime Wilson scored 4 goals last year'. I'd be astonished if we were doing anything sophisticated with data. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've put too much thought into this already but my idea was to make it kit like with the Falkirk badge and S T A T E M E N T as the 'sponsor' - with "that's a " smaller above it. On the reverse there would be the text "not a question" following the shape of the question mark and resembling a shirt number. Print that and you can take my money now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
