They have shot themselves in the foot trying to maximise ££ for personal gain...........best interests of the clubs at heart my arse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Hopefully the club goes to the wall now. Might seem harsh, but If that's the only way to stamp out the racism, personal abuse & threats and contract law infractions that are present in Ladbrokes League 1, it will be for the benefit of us all.

wullie robb Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Incompetence at the highest levels. They really should be removed with immediate affect, it is now 100% clear this bunch of so called Directors are only interested in lining pockets. Question at the top of the list for any potential investor. HOW MUCH DO WE GET..... Don't give a toss about FFC only Money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I remember the last time we played at this level with gates of 1500 at Brockville. The way Ritchie and his clowns are going they may be playing in front of that kind of support again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL-FFC Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Reading this about the Sunderland situation and this bit sticks right out you just know they are going to f**k this because of their own ego's Campbell, a British stockbroker who conducts most of his business in the United States, is confident of replacing Stewart Donald as Sunderland’s majority shareholder before the end of the month. The financier, who has also been attempting to secure a controlling stake at Scottish club Falkirk, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Hopefully there's another passive aggressive statement today from the board blaming the fans for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oot_the_loop Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 It will be our fault for demanding change when this mob break some other rules on making a dodgy appointment. The bit that really pisses me off is the accurate (and fair play to them cos its a rarity) Daily Record headline "Falkirk point finger at fans". Here was me thinking that 'Falkirk' and 'fans' were synonyms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southstand_bairn Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 What a few weeks is has been. From the relegation to the complete shambles unfolding now this has to be seriously concerning for any Falkirk fan. That statement last night is an absolute disgrace. The nerve to put that out is unreal and how the hell did that get through the board? You have failed in your role and the club is at its lowest point in decades yet you still decide to go out all guns blazing rather than quietly via the back door. Clearly learned nothing from the Dennon Lewis episode and the reaction from the fan base...........and at the worst time possible. I have always tried to avoid going after a board/individuals as I don't know what it takes to run a club but that's ended now. The quicker this lot are gone the better. It wont be possible to repair the damage now as far as I can see. I wont be renewing until they are gone as are a good few of my mates. GTF! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moanthebairns Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I blindly renewed my season ticket a few days ago, I had the money set aside and tbh I just did it out of blind loyalty. I have followed this club home and away for decades, its been a prominent feature of my life but I feel utterly impassive towards my club now and I'm regretting renewing my season ticket before the season has already started. The statement yesterday utterly bewildered me. I could barely stomach it due to its bitterness. Now hearing the latest news from an apathetic board makes me just want to not bother anymore. I hardly get excited about the league cup but when I saw the fixtures and noted the date, my initial thought was, f**k its not long before I have to go watch this shite again I wish it wasn't so soon. I can swallow this club is a business and board members are looking out for their own interests in regards to the sale of the club, but to loose two bids by extending the deadline on several occasions so much so it pisses off two of the strongest bidders that much they withdraw before two notes of interest submit theirs is utterly fucking bewildering. Counting chickens before they have hatched seems to spring to mind. I cannot now see this club being sold anytime soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxi for De Massis Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Very angry about this. Let's recap 1 party has been interested in a takeover for months and is now gone all thanks to our board 1 party has galvanised the support, got people to pledge money, is made up of people who appear to have the best interests of the club at heart and they're gone thanks to our board The rumours of interest from Italy or India are probably to add a bit more flavour to the story. I expect a few more countries to be added to the rumour mill The current board have an ego of incredible proportions and would never sell to fans, such is their dislike. In all honesty, I think there is just one bid and that is Mark Campbell's. While we cannot predict, this does not fill me with any confidence as we don't know the guy, the source of money is also questionable and with so much focus on a takeover bid at Sunderland, we become a feeder club and struggle to get out of the Championship (that is if we ever get out of League 1). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalkirkLad Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Imagine being as loyal as we have given the absolute duds we have been subjected too for the last 24 months and still getting roasted from your own board because of their own inability to do their jobs. Laughable. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stems back to the days when they reluctantly accepted fan representatives on the board. They do treat the fans with contempt, except when they are trying to sell us season tickets, hospitality or merch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colkitto Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 2 hours ago, LargsTON said: No they haven't. Finish my quote "They've made a monumental mess of things with all the money that's been squandered" Many players and coaching staff have they paid off? How many players and coaching staff have they hired on new contracts? How much compensation have they paid out due to breaking the rules? It must run into Hundreds of Thousands of £Pounds only to be sitting in League 1. That in my book is making a monumental mess of things! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 What a complete and utter mess this is. Never thought for a minute it would become this bad, even with those we have in charge. I had a feeling we’d wait too long and piss off potential investors. Probably our biggest pre season in recent history (certainly my history following the club) and it’s our worst preparations. We have no team, we have a board who are so far away from the fans it’s unbelievable and potential investors are dropping like flies. We probably need to get back up first time and we look so far away from that at the minute. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
