You came on and asked peoples opinions on if they believe it was sexism as to why folk dislike her. You got your answers that it wasn't yet you still bleat on in every post about it being sexism...kinda sounds like you have not just an axe to grind but you are trying to get someone to bite? FWIW i think she appointed a terrible manager, her main business being PR she was terrible at that. She just seemed to be way out of her depth in interviews and everytime she spoke it filled me with a feeling of oh crap. Tbh so does Gerry Britton when i hear him bumbling on but that won't fit your argument despite you putting his name in there as if to deflect some. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say the same about many of our former chairmen. Is Caldwell a worse appointment than Murdo McLeod ? But Jacqui seems to get more antagonism against her which I don’t understand. Is it just Social Media and it is more obvious/ easier to do ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you compare it to the Murder McLeod days then yeah probably social media amplifies it. But i remember in his days and years before/after crowds gathering inside/outside the ground calling for the manager and the boards heads on sticks. So possibly you could think that Jackie has got off lightly from days gone bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say they were both of a similar quality. The board at that time got it tight from the supporters and way more vocal than these days, but in fairness to the board that employed McCleod it was their cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Following on from the removal of the hospitality manager ?, it seemed as if there is also a new team of announcers.

oneteaminglasgow Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I don’t know if it’s been mentioned here or not yet, but my utter contempt for Jacqui Low stems from her being a Tory. I’d want anyone who would willingly associate themselves with them to be absolutely nowhere near Partick Thistle. She also did a terrible job as chairperson. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never voted tory and I'm pretty sure that I never will, but I wouldn't hold it against anyone if they did.

Just seems very very odd that this was a priority that they had to make an immediate decision on ? Agreed- I thought he did a good job and had lots of experience No chance they have lined someone up ( or promised positions ) the New Directors which includes four Directors from Fan Groups - wouldn't allow that sort of thing to happen - just No chance- given there vision of the Club and how it should be Run ?

Rid Skwerr Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I had a "Mr Singh's" curry pie at half-time today and it was pretty awful for £2.80 (all dried up and the crust was very hard) Hope the standard of food improves under new leadership. Service in the stall at the city end of the JH was excellent, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
