kiddy Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Maybe sums up FFC right now, being run by a pair of can'ts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Couldn't help but notice the 2 rows or so that are usually occupied by the board looked very sparse today. Sammy McGivern and a women (wife?) Along with somebody else. Usually Holt and Dean's are distinguishable but not today. Seems like even the board can't be arsed turning up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same board who, upon the announcement of their investment 14 months ago, they were praising to the skies for their "leadership and vision for the future of the club". They've been on the board for around a year now, and therefore very much part of yet more horrendous decision making. Far, far, far too late unfortunately for them to decide it's time to wash their hands of Deans and his gang. The damage has long since been done. It is to be hoped that those who replace them have significantly more interest in, and regard for, the club. It should not be difficult. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A huge statement of intent would be the immediate removal of Holt and Sheerin followed up with cleaning out the behind the scenes hangers on. Totally agree, but remember that for now, it’s 4 off the Board, and only two on. It was put to me tonight that having no Chairman would be an upgrade on what we have now. Don’t know about that, but there is still a lot of clearing out to do……more need to go. It’s the only way the malaise can be lifted. As long as FFC allow the less than savoury elements to continue to come and go as they please, the more their influence will drag us back down. A few more dark clouds need to go before we get a new dawn. Sheerin is a strange one. His early interviews were honest and refreshing. Since things started to unravel, he has come away with some crazy stuff……being disappointed at having to go two up front to rescue a point because he would rather gain territory, to it’s not difficult to fix our lack of goal threat, to aspiring to be in the top four mix, to the team needing to be better, but maybe they can’t. It’s all starting to be a mix of his standard sound bytes and mad mental “did he really say that” stuff.

bairn88 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Nesbitt mentioning our pitch being slow, making any passing game more difficult. Why don’t we fucking water it then? Pretty sure we did when holt was manager years ago. Is there anyone in our club with a brain cell between them???? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Kelevra Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 They play or train on this slow pitch nearly every day. No excuses! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pitch does look slow to be fair but that’s no excuse to constantly pass sideways and backwards.

18BAIRN76 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 In my eyes, the pitch has looked completely done for about 2 years now, but apparently it's good until 2023(?). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Suffering Bairn Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 If you read between the lines watching Nesbitt's interview, he is clearly criticising the tactics as being inflexible, sideways passing, the way we keep losing ridiculous goals, always doing the same old thing while not reacting to the way the game is going, etc. He looked shell-shocked. I thought this was as close he could go to trash the manager without actually saying it out loud. Interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely spot on and the rim lies the root of our problems. They can appoint as many puppet boards as they wish “ however the evidence seems to be it doesn't work - we need an owner running the club not orchestrating matters from the wings and collecting their annuity from a stand that wasn't needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They 100% are not appointing anyone now. The four new Board Members will be selected between the Patrons and FSS. I have just voted in the Patron election and I can tell you not one on those standing are, or ever have been or ever will be puppets for anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been a poisonous influence since his arrival, and whatever downward trajectory we were on before has been accelerated by his presence. I contributed to the Patrons investment. I have voted for two people to join the Board. I clearly have my own personal views (which I have voiced on here for 10 months) but it will be for those selected to make their minds up on what the club direction is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarillo Bairn Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Who are we wanting in? Going by they daft Facebook fan pages, Brian Rice seems to be the one they want,,, Don't get the love for "chipper" at all, seen the nick he has left Hamilton in, their fans were screaming for him to be sacked for a couple seasons before he quit, also a couple have suggested Alex Neil, like the ex Preston and Norwich manager is going to drop down to 3rd tier of Scottish football 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank von Hell Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Remember when we used to have Scottish Cup runs? Remember when we used to get to finals .....not that long ago. But a conveyor belt of incompetent deluded power mad fools who think they know how to run a football club have run us into the ground and we can't even compete with an average Raith Rovers side in a one off cup tie. And at the same time they have destroyed the infrastructure of the club leaving us with no sellable assets in the team for the first time in many years but instead a load of sub standard journeymen no one else wants. Very best of luck to the Patrons & FSS sorting out this complete & utter clusterfuck - the only way is up .......surely. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty obvious they have been totally skint for a couple of seasons now and are having to play a pile of kids every week. I'd possibly rather see him replacing Holt than sheerin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
