FFC 1876 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I thought it was a stick on to be Brian Rice so anyone's an improvement on him. Welcome home Martin! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 This is either going to be a total masterstroke or a complete car crash. Absolutely no chance it will be anything in between and I for one can’t fucking wait. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also from an optics point having a board made up of 6 patrons doesn’t suggest the balanced model that it aims to strive for. Anyway I’ve got a lot more faith with this new board than the last even if 2 of the old board still remain. Hopefully Monday will provide us with more information about plans going forward but things are certainly looking more positive. Definitely need to not rush in to this appointment though as need to make sure it’s the correct one. I understand the reasons why elections had to be postponed until May with regards to the two FSS directors, the supporters society hadn’t property launched yet and a temporary appointment had to be made. However if you were to join today you’ll get the chance to elect two permanent BOD members in 4 months time. Incidentally the patrons group which is also a fans group did have democratic elections to select both Kenny Jamison and Keith Gourley (both of whom I rate highly) who will now remain on the board permanently for 3 years unless a vote of no confidence is passed which I believe requires 75% of the membership.

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Happy it wasn't Rice tbh. Here's hoping we can finally have a bit of success on the park 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Main concern for me is his contacts here. Does he have a lot of contacts in the Scottish game? It's crucial in my opinion . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18BAIRN76 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 This may well work out, and I really fucking hope it does, but I worry that at the exact time we shouldn't be taking a gamble, that is exactly what we've gone and done. However, I'll get behind him to see how it goes. Nevertheless, 'Head Coach' also seems to suggest that Holt is staying, which in and of itself is a fucking disgrace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 This is bold. Given that we have folks on here that are patrons, and whatever else, any chance of someone walking us through the thought process here? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieBairn Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 A lot less of a gamble than Chipper imo. Seemingly decent pedigree going off the story on the website. Welcome Martin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Also, if Gary Holt isnt getting launched, any fan scheme can GTF. Getting that c**t out of our club is non negotiable. Rennie can lead us to League 2 and he will do so with my backing every week, so long as that w**k is emptied. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s more about representing fans in the meantime but we’ll learn more on Monday that will hopefully help those of us that have joined up feel like we a voice within the club before May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a bairn Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Total wildcard and an interesting one. Who was the last manager we had with virtually 0 experience in the Scottish game in any capacity, let alone league 1? It’s different that’s for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
