AuldReekie Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Bah! Pretty much just an invite for Dundee to pull the plug or another club to swoop in with better offer. C'mon Lee... get yerself home. And sooner rather than later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, can't beat an Ashcroft bullet header from a corner. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaton Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) Ashcroft to sort all our problems in one singing. Can't help but feel we're being too upbeat and positive here. It doesn't suit us. Edited February 16 by Heaton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 We have a new director https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/SC011580/filing-history Mr Ian Ross Laing from Lombardi associates. https://lombardi-football.com/about/ Can't say I've heard of them before, but on there website it says this about him. "recent work has involved advising both clubs and investors on investment into football clubs and advising start ups looking to enter the football space" I don't think he can play centre mid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that the first listed role for clubs is conflict resolution. Maybe doesn’t mean too much but there’s rumours of board disharmony and we’re clearly not in a happy place overall. I don’t know what this guy will do, but I think it’s best for things like a new director to be announced via a press release rather than someone going into companies house 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a handy tool to have on your board of directors. To me the conflict part seems more like the kind of thing you’d need to settle transfer fees and negotiations, and doesn’t necessarily mean it’s needed to sort out conflicts within our own boardroom. A guy/company like this fits in with the future vision our German overlords said they were planning for our club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I also note that if we were engaging this company on a consultancy basis there would be no need for them to join as directors, someone on .net has said he’s a local lad so there perhaps he’s doing this as a personal venture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
par-adise Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 The Ashcroft volley was the best Pars goal I've ever seen in person. Hard to believe he'd be able to replicate it but I don't care, get him signed up and just lob balls to him at the edge of the box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just maybe hiring an endless procession of professionals is their answer to resolving issues surrounding everyday management of stuff at the club. They did say they were going to professionalise the running of the club. Done right that's a positive. They brought in the chap Burns as Commercial Manager. He's a former Director at Viking Cruises, probably here to maximise commercial opportunities. I'm sure he's doing that, but for me, the only visible income earner I've seen is the 7 Kings advert now covering half the Legends Wall between the main stand and the Norrie. That kicked up a stink at the time, then the club issued a statement but there been no change, former players are still covered by a huge QR code for a shit pub. That pissed me off given it reeked of piss poor decision making. I worry corporate shit is overruling the fundamental reasons for being involved in a football club like ours, which is love for the club itself.

DA Baracus Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 What shit do the board need to do? If we were winning lots of games and doing well on the pitch, what would you be saying about the board? Also have you missed the various events and sponsorship the club have now? Here's a couple of examples: https://dafc.co.uk/carabao-sport/ https://dafc.co.uk/ultimate-rave-bingo-friday-23rd-february/ https://dafc.co.uk/sportsmans-dinner-2024/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 3 home games in a row have resulted in one point, one goal scored and 9 conceded. It’s not good enough, and we should demand better.

You're going down if you don't make some sort of changes and chris kane for all his work rate is unlikely to be the saviour you need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's difficult to sack the manager when he's not had a fit squad at any point this season tbh. Meant to have the majority of the team back over the next few weeks, bar Wighton and Fisher. I think it's at that point they have a decision to make. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
