CallumPar Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Not sure Thomas is fit enough to start yet.Yogi seems to suggest match fitness is the issue. How’s he going to improve that warming the bench every week? I was disappointed he didn’t come on at the weekend. If he’s not ready to play, surely better having Todorov there as another option? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Didn’t realise the new chairman was a boyhood Pars fan, he is according to Alan Temple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh I believe he is either from Dunfermline of his family hail from here. To be a pedant he's the CEO not chairman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what he’ll bring to the club that McArthur didn’t. As you’ve pointed out, he has a different role to McArthur, looks like he comes with a bit more relevant experience than Ross had before stepping in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you’ve pointed out, he has a different role to McArthur, looks like he comes with a bit more relevant experience than Ross had before stepping in. I think you're spot on about the experience, he's coming to the club having worked at some enormous football clubs who will have far more professional operations. Hopefully some of that can yield efficiency. That said if anyone takes over "chairman" that is in essence a title now with almost none of the responsibility that McArthur took. So pretty much an honorary position. Hopefully Cook brings a freshness to how things that perhaps are a bit stale are done. As well as making us more attractive to commercial contracts, I hope we avoid the legalised scam that is NFTs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaton Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Hopefully our fan experience and digital platforms get improved, including communication with fans.Ideally I'd like him to set up a fans meeting to get feedback. He is a marketing guy so I'm expecting it to improve and hopefully with that some more sponsorship and revenue ideas too.On the face of it, it does look like another good move for us off the pitch at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 And I believe he played centre back at High School so that's more cover there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre Covid there was barely the appetite for the fans to hold to board to account Tri-Yearly I'm not certain any additions to that schedule would be productive although maybe I'm being cynical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they get someone to proof read the website and maybe someone to write it who doesn't peddle moronic cliches, and who can actually write a bit. The website itself is quite poor, especially when you look around at some of the other efforts. It isn't very professional at all. Even better, hopefully he is alerted to the cesspit that is .net and takes steps to remove all club ties with it, especially from that chodbin Brian. You'll all be surprised to hear that there were quite a few unsavoury posts regarding the Goodwillie fiasco on that site (among the apparently support of Goodwillie were things about the victim that are a disgrace) that were kept up for far too long. That's before we recall that the p***k allowed homophobic and sexist articles to be posted on the front page, and allowed the author back on to his site. He also championed Masterton, removed posts asking questions and/or critcising that regime, reported some posts and posters to the regime and even edited someone's post to make it appear that the poster said something pretty awful, which of course they didn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) What official club ties are there between .net & DAFC? Apart from Brian obviously, and unless I'm mistaken all he does is volunteer to run Pars TV? I'm willing to bet that a our new CEO won't give two fucks about an independently run internet football forum, so prepare to get even angrier.

I guess using the title dafc and having a similar looking website. I'm not sure how much power the club would have over changing that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The home page, which I never look at, does state "unofficial fans site" although it is in much smaller size lettering Edited February 9, 2022 by da_no_1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that will cost a fair amount and I think it's difficult to justify when someone is doing it for free 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental that an apparent adult takes such silly online tropes seriously. I bet you actually think that people are genuinely 'seething' all of the time and similar pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accuse me of making assumptions about people I've never met whilst having never met me. Genius. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
