Out of likes, but that’s an excellent post which raises some very good questions. Thanks.

Depends what mood Maxy is in

Good point @stolenscone. I’m never one for attention to detail but that’s an important one. None of the 5 have been democratically elected by their constituency (c.1600 ST holders) to my knowledge. No recent elections were publicised. Presumably this means the remaining 5 were self-appointed with the combined business expertise to satisfy 3BC. Lucky guys. No doubt a 6th will pop up from nowhere, be mysteriously added to their announcement and all will be fine & dandy by the time we face ICT tomorrow. After all, the Club wouldn’t want the BBC commentators to talk about the share fiasco, would they?

It is a good question. I’m not a fan of Private Equity firms, but JJ is often right when it comes to reading the runes. Perhaps we did need a benevolent owner to come in and buy the Club. Maybe s/he might have been willing to have fan representative(s) on the Club Board? The events of the last 24 hours have been more than one spectacular own goal. The announcement by 3BC was fairly awful in tone. Roughie on PLZ Sport wasn’t good. Then to top it all, the new Chair of PTFC Trust came & went within a few hours. Our Club has become a parody of itself.

That’s the price you pay for membership. First they control your likes, then they control your mind. It is 1984 in reality. We are no longer at war with Eurasia.

I’d suggest The ‘In’ Crowd by Bryan Ferry / Roxy Music. Cos that’s what the PTFC Trust must be. They’re in with the ‘in’ crowd.

Indeed m’lady. Of course has they run democratic elections, such previous bad form would surely have been uncovered during the campaign and the gentleman in question would not have been elected. I misread big hitters as something else, I think I added an ‘s’ in my head.

You can owe me one

Possibly not given their track record of communication & engagement. They ask us to ‘Trust in the Trust’ yet they cannot appoint someone with decent values in the first place. A bit of a PR disaster. Also somewhat ironic given the the first incarnation of the TJF Board were not considered to be ‘fit and proper’ by 3BC.

Who’s their new Chair ?!

Sadly FT we are rapidly going from the cuddly toy of Scottish Football to the laughing stock. The Club Board didn’t do us any favours sending Roughie out onto the PLZ Soccer programme to try and defend 3BC actions. He got torn a new one on Twitter for not acknowledging the links between 3BC and the Club Board and for trying to defend the shares going to an unelected group of random ‘fans’. So sad it has come to this, but it’s been coming for a while. The refusal of 3BC to deal on a level with a democratically elected TJF has come home to roost. All a bit of a PR disaster, ironically. I’m ashamed of our Club tonight. Regime change is now essential,

If he doesn’t stand down, or pressure from the Club Board doesn’t remove him, then it will have undermined our stance as an inclusive, family-friendly Club with decent values. Misogyny has no place at Firhill, least of all from someone who wants to be the figurehead of the ‘fans body’ that will receive the shares.. I commend the stand that Heather Holloway, Heather Wilson and other fans have taken earlier today.

How could I forget? Jackie was a decent manager tho, set Archie & Shaggy up nicely for promotion and some years in the top flight.

Culter as in Culters Candy? Ipswich deserve better fortune. My English team Norwich are having a terrible start to life back in the Championship.

I’m that close myself @Garscube Road End 2. Just booked a couple of dates for hospitality at Forres Mechanics this season.

A quick transparent investigation by 3BC should establish the facts.

Ali Campbell was in UB40

Marcia, sorry I don’t know your real name. Would you be up for leading such a protest group? You seem clued up and able.

If you lived in 1930s Shropshire and owned an estate, perhaps.

EC seems to be very much in the dock today for his historical social media posts towards female fans. I have asked the 3BC Chair to investigate such allegations and report back on his suitability (or otherwise) to hold a key role within the PTFC Trust.

Who is this guy?

Where is this list of names @elevenone? Sorry I’ve been working today and think I’ve missed it

Good piece. I met Colin Weir and he would not have wanted a stitch-up with shares going to a mysterious collection of uncommunicative, unelected fans. He would have been happy to go with the Motherwell type model with a ready made democratically elected fans group who were more inclusive. No amount of spin fools me. No one penny more this season.

The clock just struck thirteen as I sat under the old chestnut tree

You can paint a shite purple but it still smells like shite No ST, no representation - total rubbish.
