Harry Kinnear Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Agree. Both need to go.However for me it’s not just about them going. I want to know the strategy of anyone coming in, in their place, before I’ll renew or contribute to any share issue. Totally agree, for me the fans share issue should be involved with any investors coming in. I attended the meeting and liked the proposals put forward by the group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Isn’t that my point?Are you genuinely saying they should remain in place and no one else could do better? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Just a honest post bud from someone outside the club . yes heads will roll from top to bottom . but the chairperson and board members are only carrying out orders from above Two major shareholders on the Board, they are all tarnished outside the commercial director who should never have gone on the board with these fucking idiots anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weetoonlad Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I didn't say they should stay in place . I would expect both to go even if you stay up . am asking who takes there place does Falkirk need a CEO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something they have miserably failed to deliver..... I dare say the major stakeholders decided to stop the youth set up due to cost (short sighted I think). However the board did seem to deliver on Mangerial appointments, most Bairns seemed more than happy when Hartley was given the job, and down right ecstatic when McKinnon was given the job, Therefore you could say that BOD were trying to do what the majority of fans wanted - just unfortunate that both of those 'Managers' we're not up to the task? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both for me. Campbell will be gone - his wage is completely unsustainable in the Championship, never mind League One. I fear Laing might end up hanging about like a bad smell for a bit. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also note that I wasn’t exactly supportive of either managerial appointment, particularly the latter. However I could understand why they were popular appointments... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weetoonlad Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 IMO Falkirk don't need a CEO but they need a strong chairman full time appointment who can take on day to day running of the club wish I was offered it would strip the club back to the core and reinstate the youth policy tomorrow . long long road back am afraid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attended the meeting and liked the proposals put forward by the group. That for me is the absolute core issue for our future. Change is inevitable. No leadership of any company can survive the hostility from their customers that we're seeing at present. The problem for me is what the motives of their replacements will be. Decades ago, a not-very-successful board of local businessmen were forced out. They were replaced by a family called the Deans. George, Paul and Hamish. I am sure some of the older posters on here will remember them. Let's just say there were issues. Then they were replaced by George Fulston. Who had even more issues. He took us into provisional liquidation and was ultimately replaced by some of the people who still control the club today. The memories of those two owners still send a shudder down my spine. We cannot afford to have people like them in charge of our club again. Whatever happens, the next set of custodians have to be either local & with an emotional attachment to FFC, or willing to allow the fans an extremely large say in the running of it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can only have the latter IMO. Anyone coming in now who sidelines the fans has no chance.Fans always get their way at football clubs. The sooner our board wake up and realise that the better. The longer it goes on the worse it will get. I guarantee you one thing. This lot step aside, donate their shares, not reduce their %, and allow the fans to elect properly the right people to run the club and we would sell record ST’s for any provisional club in that league and more investment would fly in at a drop of a hat. They hang about now and we are fucked or it will cost Alexander and Ritchie a right few quid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact they turned down the money for the academy said it all for me, it was all getting covered yet they didn't want it, lies at every turn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
