Tea and Busquets Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Is that a good thing? I’m unsure, probably because I don’t really know the ins and outs of it. Someone with better knowledge of it all than me can tell us if this is “great news” or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braes_Bairn Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 2 key questions: - Given the loan is to FSS not the club what is it secured against? What do they do if subscriptions drop? - This will take many many years for FSS to repay - when people wouldn’t sign up to FSS to give the manager more budget, who is going to sign up when the income is all going on repaying a loan? Finally is this best use of our taxes when other public services are struggling and struggling for cash? As great as income is for the club, I’m not convinced this is a good move for the Scottish Government. The precedent has now been set and all clubs will be looking for the same loan. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again answers to all these tomorrow. All have been discussed and the devil is in the detail and we believe this is a fantastic deal. Also there will be a special Falkirk Daft podcast on Thursday about this. Edited May 30, 2023 by Roboccop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the club that has taken the loan though, it’s the FSS. If clubs don’t have fan groups who want to own their club then they won’t get the loan. The FM said there is certain criteria that needs to be met. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC55 FFC Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Can’t say I’m surprised at that rag putting this out before it’s meant to but then to do so with almost no detail behind it is just disgusting. Click bait pish on the socials is all they want. Well done to FSS on getting this over the line as the first of many clubs & i am sure everyone/most will agree once the details/terms are out tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An interest free loan that only box office clubs such as ourselves can attract. Diddies need not apply. Oaft this is gonna cause serious fume 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
