I'm not ITK but if there's accounts published that show that the Celtic money has been used to offset "losses" then major questions need asked. Ammo with the greatest of respect, I wouldn't speculate on hearsay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rio 2 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 When "The Consortium" eased out JB, I am as sure as I can be that every one of them made a contribution to the cause and may well be out of pocket as a result. Other than that, nobody knows who invested what and what is owed to whom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumour is that PH Used 150k of his own money to buy shares for him and his staff and is taking the Celtic money to recoup his investment for the shares 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waysider Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Diamond Dave, every post you have made since entering this site has been in support of PH and what is left of the Board. You are quite correct in saying that there is a lot of speculation about some of which may well be inaccurate. However, there is one thing that is not open to question and that is the total contempt by the Club in dealing with the fans. There is zero communication. I stand to be corrected in this but I don’t believe the Club have yet told us that a director resigned recently! Would you care to comment on that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Slightly off topic, but is it Vitoria or Victoria? The player that is. I'll ask the lads at Stranraer if nobody's sure... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with an IQ of higher than 10 can figure out its very much in PH's interest to have a successful football team. A winning team means a busier stadium. One must compliment the other. Something that's sadly been lacking for many years at Airdrie and is now being rectified. Some problems are being ironed out but the club will be better for it going forward once those with an agenda have been flushed out.

Moon Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 Surely PH is bright enough to know that the fans would go mental if the Celtic money disappeared in this manner? I'm sick to the back teeth of all this shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Reed Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Thanks ,notice he plays right back at Rangers young team ,seems to be good player,Manager thought that position needed addressed,personallyI thought the left side and a striker would have been his priority ,anyway the young player will likely be better than what we have wherever he plays . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBuckfastTriangle Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Seems a bit pointless. I assume he's costing us nothing or very little but O'Neil, Stewart, Robertson and McIntosh can play on the right fairly comfortably. Not sure where he's been playing for the reserves but I'm sure Robbie Leighton has played there before. Even if he's an upgrade, with so many options there and the season effectively over as a contest why do we need Houston? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he's an upgrade, with so many options there and the season effectively over as a contest why do we need Houston?Its a strange one right enough, and like you, not a position that was crying out for reinforcements, certainly not before a striker anyway.Admittedly I've not been to many games recently but that's by the by, and Murray certainly can't be seen to come out and say the seasons effectively over. Especially since there's more of a chance of being dragged into the fight below if results in rearranged games go against us.We need to get back to winning ways, if just to consolidate and afford ourselves a few "dead rubbers" in the final few weeks to look forward and plan for what will (in my opinion) be a massive season next year.If we've still got that money set aside for a head start on a playing budget next year, then this manager should fully be backed to overhaul the team.There might never be a better chance to progress before the crowds decline further. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Reed Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Not one bit better off than last season ? Maybe a lot worse with all the big wages being paid to poor players ,Groundhog airdrie every season .got a feeling this will be my last game this season ,gets harder when there is no improvement . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
