18BAIRN76 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Unreal scenes that it’s only July and we’re arguing among ourselves alreadywhat a fanbase. Season starts soon, we may have things to gripe about, or we might be brilliant. I’ll sit tight until then to see how we do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back it's mental it even got that far down the road. A salutary lesson and one we shouldn't forget in pursuit of the seemingly never-ending funding football consumes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangemouth Bairn Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Looks like Arfield is signing for Bolton on a one year contract. Business interest in the UK (pub near Ibrox) is apparently why he’s leaving the US. ps.

If you’re gona come onto another teams thread and try and stir shit up at least try and make it funny. This is some of the worst ‘patter’ I’ve ever seen.

HopeStreetWalker Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 13 hours ago, Springfield said: Absolutely way off mark. Totally agree with the PM comments. It’s glaringly obvious we need further investment, as our current model which without doubt has improved our stability, is way short of wiping out the -0.4M/0.5M monkey on our back each season. Last season was sensational and the team simply blew the opposition apart. Memories which for all the supporters will last a life time. Realty check, we as a fan owned should look at one of the top league teams - Motherwell with its SPFL millions are already looking for financial help. It is only a matter of time before a long-established club in the higher divisions goes out of business and there is no white knight to save it. Budget for position X end up on position Y with no financial buffer and that's it all over. The club has put together the best team it can afford. Suspect its budgeted for mid-table (that's the sensible call) and anything above is a bonus. The mid-season in and outs will be interesting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 (edited) The fan ownership model should mean we're able to easily stop any charlatans getting their hands on the club but this works only when the club is being run to break even. If we speculate beyond our means then we'll start to post losses again and increasing losses on the balance sheet make ANY investment more palatable than just trying to attract 'good' investment. We'll have a decent budget this year compared to others in the league I imagine. If we can reach play offs or above then its a really good season. If not, then questions will rightly be asked whether we spent the budget wisely. Edited July 12 by Proudtobeabairn 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’re financially distressed, we become an easier target for charlatans and criminals because we’re more desperate for cash. Under the current model, our football budget for last season and this is larger than it would otherwise have been. It isn’t a constricting factor, quite the opposite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the gripe I have with the perception that we've not given McGlynn - or any other incumbent - enough budget. Vast sums of money are spent by clubs, at all levels, every season and there are finite barometers of success and although the team with the biggest budget usually prevails there will be those who have the 2nd largest who end up abysmal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then questions will rightly be asked whether we spent the budget wisely. It's all about expectation and we must be realistic regarding the factors that will define where we end up. Namely - How many invincible's will cut it in the higher league How many points can we get as the unknown quantity in the league Injuries Margins will be tight in this league, and it's very likely 12 points will be the difference between promotion and relegation play off's Are we going to be up in arms if we just avoid the relegation play-offs but only 10 points (3 wins and a draw) from a promotion play off. Don't think so the fan base is more savvy than that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
