Cardle is Magic Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I've followed football enough to know that fans - including myself - can be fickle. If we romped to the League 1 title under Hughes then the fact he had "Dirty Falkirk b*****d" vociferously chanted at him would likely become an amusing footnote of his story at Dunfermline. However, I'm also aware that it's far, far more likely we toil for a couple of months, the club eventually bins him in November and we've wasted yet another season through the Board's infuriating inertia. Either way, we were relegated almost 10 days ago and all we have heard from the club is some bland reorganising of chairs in the Boardroom and that one of our coaching staff is leaving. The appointment of David Cook as CEO was supposed to bring "fresh energy and professionalism to the club" but he's been completely invisible. For someone purporting to be a lifelong Pars fan, he's surely aware how interminable and damaging this silence is? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 “The bad news is, we’ve been relegated to League One and Hughes is probably staying in charge. On a more positive note, we have made the board leaner and more flexible, meaning I am chairman *and* CEO…You’re still thinking about the bad news, aren’t you?”“There is no good news, David. Only bad news and irrelevant news.”“I think merging the position of chairman and CEO is generally considered good news.”“We’re going to be replaced by one of Hughes’ old jobber pals!” “You’re not going to be replaced by jobbers! God.. just.. YOU’RE not gonna replaced by a jobber..”“YOU’RE not gonna be replaced by a jobber!”“..you know..”“YOU’RE not gonna be replaced by a jobber!” “You know Nottingham Forest’s season ticket sales had fallen by…” 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Another day gone by with not a thing confirmed. Getting really fucking fed up with it all now, almost to the point where I'm like nut, f**k it I'm done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islay Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I’m clinging onto the hope that they are going to announce Hughes is away and the appointment of a new manager at the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about a 45 minute drive away and I can't be bothered with that anymore. Would rather spend my Saturdays taking in new places around the country or something a bit productive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toun Clock Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I've got to be honest if Yogi is going I'd like to see Kevin Thomson get the gig. My worry is he's going to end up being announced as Raith manager before we announce Yogi's exit. The fact we've gone on so long now makes me think he'll be here next season, approaching a fortnight since we got relegated and we've heard not a jot. Only saving grace is we also don't know who the exiting players are which makes me think there's still some confusion over who'll be in charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 "A review of the footballing side of things is still ongoing. John Hughes is pleading with us desperately to stay in charge, and we will probably give in as we don't have the guts to do the right thing. We thought we would at least be transparent about it with our subjects ie you fans. We are delaying this for the time being just to wind you gullible c*nts up further, because reasons. Season ticket information and prices will be announced in due course, you thick f*cks. COYP" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 The communication from the club is pathetic. A statement that told us nothing a week ago and now complete silence. They treat fans like shit. Happy to take money but offer bugger all in return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 It's gone on so long now that I assume the line they'll be taking is that Hughes is under contract so they didn't feel the need to confirm he'll be in charge next season. That argument is utter pish of course and treats the fans like morons but I can't see anything else. Also, doesn't explain why there has been retained list for the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
