Given the amount of time you spend on this thread I thought you'd be very well acquainted with the level of attention those running our club pay to the concerns of their customers. Absolutely none whatsoever. Your reference to a laissez faire attitude is just laughable. A group of supporters spent months working on an ownership proposal which would have nullified the very kind of risk a Campbell type charlatan poses. The reward was to have it thrown back in their faces. Personally I've had just about enough of every aspect of the club at the moment, from the clowns in the boardroom to the boring dross served up on the park every Saturday. Doubt I'm the only one. You seem under the bizarre impression that I'm critical of all of the Falkirk support, including the BtB people. I'm not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it's their bank balance not their moral attitude that will prevail Why would they be overwhelmingly concerned with their bank balance? The big shareholders bought the club to save it from liquidation, they are apparently millionaires and from what was said on here, are selling their shares for around £400,000 so I doubt very much money is the major motive. I'd say it's pretty obvious the board read this, everything from getting rid of Houston, backing hartley, getting away from "lazy hibs/hearts reject signings" sacking hartley etc has been the majority view on here (pre hindsight obviously) maybe we'd have done better if the board had ignored the majority views. Anyway, didn't come on here for a rant, for the first time ever I'm ITK. At tomorrow's game one of the former players in hospitality is one Alan Gow, any p&b bairns getting some hospitality through at airdrie tomorrow could maybe find out a bit from him about takeovers...

Guest Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Tough old game today. If the attitude, shape and tempo is not miles better than last week then we will lose and McKinnon should be out the door. There in lies the dilemma if you are think about selling the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would rather sell to anyone else. Wonder what the reasoning with them not giving Gowser a fair crack at the whip on the preferred bidder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are genuine grounds for concern, it'll be easier for your board to ignore them if lots of the fans are passive. Theres feck all we can do at the moment till dd is completed. We will then know whether the takeover plans have been approved or not. If it is an egm would then be required . The bod will then be grilled on the situation properly instead of them having to read pie and bovril . Of course i have concerns over the whole thing but people on here seem to have spent hours searching for stuff and found very little that is concrete. Once dd is complete then the real stuff starts. Up till then theres very little we can do and i dont think personal theories on the situation really matter one iota. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
