It might stop some of the "sign some c*nt" twitter posts which will appear as a reply any time the club posts things in the coming days. I was in the office after MacIver signed his deal. The gaffer came in, gave his quotes on the signing to the media officer and then said to both of us that the next couple of weeks would be likely be quiet. Offers have been made, but there's plenty of time before the window closes and so players are considering their options. At least if they're half-decent and have options available with several clubs interested in them. For that reason I think most or our transfer activity will take place later rather than earlier. If you think back to last season, the likes of Yeats, Kennedy, Alegria, Burell and Lawal only signed after competitive games had began. Going back further the likes of Rudden & McManus were the same. I suspect the same will prove true this year, so it may be a while before we hear of the next signings. Or I suppose an agent could pick up the phone in the next hour and say "we accept your offer". Time will tell, There is nothing imminent that I know of. How many offers we talking about here BB? It's just numbers nothing juicy... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy1876 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 For interest just had a listen to Humza Yousaf's interview on super scoreboard. Ended up being a conversation mainly about the OF which was annoying since it was supposed to be about this new fund. But he did clarify the money could not be used elsewhere like in the NHS etc and I gathered has always been there as a loan for community projects (although this was only briefly mentioned so might have interpreted wrong). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I see Greaves Sports are tweeting and then hurriedly deleting now... Wonder if it was an accidental kit reveal or something, and they got their dates wrong? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s Radio Clyde for you. In fairness the guy they sent interviewed Humza and me only about the loan but Humza then agreed a phone in interview so the Clyde producer made it all about Ange leaving Celtic etc and minimised the Fan Bank. We were on every hourly news bulletin however. Edited June 1, 2023 by Roboccop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I think it’s the training/leisure wear that’s out this week. Jamie Swinney said the kit will be mid June. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Google searched O’Neills Falkirk FC and these images came up from a site concept kits so they are not our kits. Have to say I would accept something like both of these are they are like the Hummel Beazer Homes kits.

Skyline Drifter Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 22 hours ago, Skyline Drifter said: Genuine enquiries. What happens if FSS income drops through the floor in a couple of years because the club launch a new fundraising initiative down the line that all the fans pay into instead, and FSS income drops to the extent it cannot make repayments even using 100% of income? Or, given that the model presumes a minimum annual income of £87,500 to meet the repayment requirements based on 20% of income, if income drops below that and by year 20 you still owe a large sum of money? Is repayment flexible insofar as it's 20% of all income full stop until repaid and expected to be within 20 years or is it set at £17,500 per annum and any excess in year one goes entirely for whatever purposes you choose? 7 minutes ago, Roboccop said: That’s Radio Clyde for you.

We were on every hourly news bulletin however. @Roboccop are you able to answer above queries please? Others have since suggested that the initial comment of 20% of income being used to repay the loan was just an estimate based on current income levels rather than an actual agreed term of repayment. Is that correct? Assuming it is and repayment is simply £17,500pa, what happens if you don't have sufficient funds to meet scheduled repayments at any point between now and the scheduled final repayment? Is it a repay what you can and it will just run on till it's repaid scenario? If not and it actually defaults what happens then? For clarity, I'm not trying to stir things here nor suggest Falkirk have any intention of defaulting, I'm trying to understand the process and how it will work for all parties in worst case scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DISCLAIMER - These are not our kits They’d be far better all being the one colour, don’t like the sleeves . Always think the simple strips are better looking. The 57 cup winning strip for example, no idea why they don’t make them like that anymore. Look how well the new Scotland strip has sold for an example.
