BeanoTam Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 The under 20’s will struggle to make up the rest of the team as the club have restructured the youth academy for next season. Instead of having 3 teams 16’s, 18’s and 20’s they will only have a 20’s playing in the Lowland Development league working with less numbers to try and bring young players through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beepee67 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Unfortunately Lewis Milne still hasn't left Still struggling with the hurt of last season's disaster...we were the masters of our own downfall However this board, lack of communication, is shocking... no interest in the supporters unless wanting money from us... finding out through individual social media accounts who's going...it's scary ... these guys deserved better just like the supporters...they won us a title... We are in serious trouble at the minute...no manager . No sqaud .. no leadership in the boardroom. . Serious questions need asked...but we will hear nothing until they want money from us.... not renewing supporters trust this year as again it's pointless as no feedback & doubt i will be travelling to Peterhead.. Elgin .Stranraer this upcoming season.... absolutely gutted at the state of our club.... board need to get serious... taking feedback from Jimmy Bone in his 70's & Jim Jeffries in his 130's.... who's next...a young Joe Biden 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attacking experienced people like Jimmy Bone and Jim Jeffries because of their age is pretty much over the top.Grow up! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attacking experienced people like Jimmy Bone and Jim Jeffries because of their age is pretty much over the top.Grow up! I did read the statement...the statement they put out after concerns were raised why players were announcing leaving, thanking the supporters & management staff on their own personal social media accounts Nothing from the club because they knew that it would cause a backlash from the supporters... a kneejerk cull of the management team, medical staff, leaving us trailing way behind our now 2nd division opponents before a ball is kicked... without even having a squad to start with...yet before that statement they wanted us all to watch out for ball 26 My concerns over Bone & Jefferies are my own personal opinion...just like you have yours..... my reason being is length of time they have been away from the game...it's a totally different game to back then.... & we all know the connection & why they are giving free consultationry advice.... we are miles behind.... thats my concerns...is that such a load of rubbish..... take your head out of the sand!!!! I have no issues with views or opinions...including yourself... mine haven't changed, nor my frustrations in relation to the media, way our squad has just been decimated, board decisions, trust board silence, no manager, no leadership, no coaching staff, You know & majority of supporters know that the silence was deafening before that statement on the 29th.... & i gaurentee you that only came out through pressure,demands of numerous emails directly to the club, the concerns raised are real & not going away, but let's hope they get this one right or we will be in big trouble & that's why it hurts, I've seen it before withthebino's, lived through it, came out the other side, i just don't think we could do it again, that trap door to the lowland league isn't quite as easy to get out of...look at previous teams going back to the shire, Berwick, Brechin, Cowdenbeath, Albion Rovers, My concerns are facts IMO not rubbish as in your opinion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club sadly treating us like mugs, no leadership at all & more insider leaks than the West stand lavvies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not over a mass desire for pastures new as painted by the board's resident spin doctor. In fact about a betrayal of trust with everything said in the dressing room and the dugout getting relayed back to the club chairman. This resulting in an angry dressing room, an even angrier team manager and a final blow up over the issue on the day of the Stirling V Dumbarton home match. A new board was appointed two years ago, with precisely zero experience of running a football club between them. They inherited a finally admitted bank balance of 440k. A promotion winning manager. A promotion winning squad. A highlights package the envy of every other part time club in the SPFL. A takeover which was responded to by the first player revolt in the club's history in support of an executive they had good relations with. In just two seasons they've pissed everything away, feel accountable about nothing, are transparent about nothing, but you know what? I don't really blame them. I don't really blame the trust war board who entrusted a bunch of rank amateurs with the club's future. I blame the trust membership, for voting a known trust war board back in and letting it all happen. In the process getting their own teeth pulled and their balls amputated. So, no calls for revolution here. It is what it is. Really just waiting now for the greatest website the football world has ever seen, that will make it all seem worthwhile. Sad that it hurts positive minded people like Beepee, but I stopped caring nearly two years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very quiet, however the latest statement from the board states that there have been "a significant number of applicants" and that they are interviewing 4 of those candidates this week and it's hoped an appointment would be made "swiftly thereafter"....so hopefully we will hear something over the next few days. As for any names getting thrown about, nothing that I have heard. There's been a bit of guessing by a couple of supporters but nothing that has really stuck. I think in general, Darren Young hadn't lost the support, so there's no fan clamber for any one person, more an attitude of "ok, show us it was worth while" and we await in anticipation. A big rebuild is needed now, yip, but an experienced man would probably enjoy that. He has the room to bring in his own staff and his own players, and with the 6 or 7 players that we do have signed up, he has a good foundation to start from. It's very much, wait and see 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a harder wallop if things go south that's all. It's not a hanging offence to feel negative either if people see cause. I have twice heard from people that the squad lost heart after Christmas. Somebody even said that on here a while back. When I ask what happened at Christmas they just clam up. Try not to panic mate, it's not good, but it's not certain doom either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would help if multiple people revealing things that happened privately would do it publicly. I get why they won't, but few will believe what they don't want to hearing it second or third hand. Most want any hint of major internal shenanigans to just go away. I can understand that too. Unfortunately that doesn't make it any less real and so here we are. I'm just hoping we can land a manager with some lower league gravitas, because we really need one right now.
