All reasonable opinions I normally welcome but a “fan” like this is genuinely a fan we could do without!

Your initial post wasn’t obvious you were being sarcastic. I presumed you genuinely expected the new directors to have turned things around in a matter of weeks which was obviously ridiculous! Still not actually sure what your point was as I genuinely haven’t read or heard any fans expecting this, most realise the new guys need time.

Russ Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Now I’m very much aware it’s all the way down the list of what’s wrong with our club at the moment but another player of the month vote after another month full of pathetic performances. Our club just loves celebrating failure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they hate putting out the tweet too given they know the venom that’ll be in the replies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a lot to laugh at for fans of others clubs at Falkirk atm. In many cases though, it seems like these posters have decided they are going to come on here and cleverly tell is just how it is, completely ignoring the fact that we are already criticising the club on a daily basis..... It sort of like the Raith fans who obviously were choking to sing "Championees" at us on Saturday like it was some clever gotcha.... I mean fair enough, but it really just gets a shrug of the shoulders and a "much bigger things to worry about than something that happened 2 seasons ago m8" from myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made his thoughts about us very clear. That aside, it’s now time for action. Has Holt gone yet? It’s an interesting one. I can only assume he has chucked in another £10k to join the Patrons. I think he has been extremely foolish in aligning himself so completely to the current Board, and has ended up compromising his personal integrity on the altar of toeing the party line. If you watch the Q&A again when he stands up with either a fixed script, or at least bullet points, he looks uneasy and nervous, and utters something like “I have drawn the short straw” before he speaks. I do not believe that he concocted that speech on his own (if at all). However, he was certainly culpable of standing up and saying the words. Now, you could say he was 100% loyal to the Board (up until the moment the Chairman takes the microphone away from him), but equally, it brings with it huge question marks over his decision making skills. He is now a forever part of something that stands as an absolutely definitive example of how not to read a room, and it is actually so textbook, it could be used in business schools as the best known example of how not to operate in public as a Board of Directors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Bairn Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Fair point and well made. But like most of us, he would give his back teeth (or cash) to see us being successful as a club and at the end of the day that is all that matters. I am sure he will never put himself in the position he found himself in at the Q &A. I hope he is big enough to apologise for the shambles that the Q&A became, and we can all move on and upwards together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he obviously has ponied up 10 grand but he nailed his colours to the mast and even when he got a bit of backlash he continued to dig his heels in. It begs the question that if Lex Miller, Andy Thompson or Craig Campbell had coughed up enough money would they have been accepted into the scheme? I certainly hope not so why has this guy? Cos he’s a nice guy and he didn’t mean it? I’ll say it again, I am behind these initiatives and will be involved but there’s a couple of things disappointing me. The removal of Holt on Tuesday will make up for it tho 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
