Springburnjag Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 22 minutes ago, Jordanhill Jag said: First there are Women in Football very well respected by Fans of all Clubs - Anne Budge & Lianne Dempsey being two Whilst its accepted that there is massive barriers to Women in Society- to try and lump the fact that Fans had gripes with the former Chairmen was Misogyny is frankly wrong - and then use the fact that they are Men therefore guilty- is well Sexist But its a mute argument Beyond being a Director of 3BC Jlo has nothing to do with the Club - she isn't even a shareholder in 3BC - the legal position is that 3BC have no more rights than me as a Shareholder - we can Vote on Directors - We can Vote at the AGM - thats it Therefore as a Shareholder you get to Vote - nothing more Its not as though you can turn up at the Office and start speaking to Staff Its Not as though you can be in the Directors Box or have a Title in any shape or form - there are Directors & a Company Secretary - thats it ...... Its not as if you own the Club ( even with 55% you dont Own it ) Its not as if you can attend Board Meetings - or have a say in any aspect of the Club on any level Its not as if you can in any shape or form influence decisions outwith the AGM Its not as if you get to meet the Manager or discuss anything to do with the Team Your a Shareholder - and in the case of Jlo - a Director of a Company who is a Shareholder - which is one stepped removed from an actual Shareholder So this argument over misogyny is a mute point TFE made a very clear statement that Jlo wouldn't be involved with the Club if people supported them ( there public statement -not mine ) The briefing given to the Evening Times was very clear- she had no Official Capacity at the Club- and for clarity only those with Official Capacity can be involved in the aforementioned actions - and our Board of Directors run the Club - they make all decisions- and have Corporate Governance Responsibilities As one of the New Board from TFE is a Lawyer - he will obviously know that - and as Ian Dodds has been a Club Director for a Number of years - he will also know that So its a thread over nothing to be honest ... I wish I could follow this ..... as I understand you tfe didn’t buy the club ( which is bad because they said they would and didn’t which was originally bad but now isn’t as bad ) but even though tfe didn’t buy the club they are responsible for Jacqui low ( I’m not sure if they have a tracker on her ? ?? ) because although they don’t own the club they sort of do anyway it’s all bad especially Jacqui low and there is no such thing as misogyny ... am I following you correctly ?

But there is none to challenge, only a poster or two that has come on asking if that is the reason and when being told no they are still claiming it to be the reason. And for those who have said it is not the reason they are now being told they are wrong. It is kinda like the original poster came on with the intention to start a stooshie and didn't give a hoot about any real reasons as to why she may not be liked.

Ive never said TFE not buying the Club is bad - Ive pointed out that people supported them based on the pitch they would buy the Club with Unconditional Financial Support from Colin Weir - thats not the case - people can decide if this is a Good Thing or a Bad Thing on there own ....... They are not responsible for JLo as she has no role at the Club on any level - TFE have Two Directors - there role is to Run the Club along with there fellow Directors - No one else makes or influences decisions only the Directors - the TFE Directors also have to deliver on the promises they made Jlo isnt involved at the Club - so No idea why you are referring to her - if its as her term as Chairmen - Fans have given there views - I dont believe misogyny played a part them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve already fed back that I raised this due to a genuine concern that some of the negativity is coming from unhealthy attitudes. Many people have refuted that. That’s fair enough and I think valid reasons are cited. i didn’t post the original question to cause a stooshie, as you put it. It was raised as a genuine query. There is mixed opinion on this but I do not want the club to be seen as unwelcoming to our non-core typical fan base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have clearly stated the role of Shareholders- as there seems to be some misconception amongst Posters - that a Company with a Majority Shareholding could in some way have an involvement in running the Club - when it cant - it was an attempt to clarify the Club position - given posts on Twitter from Friends of Jlo - which seem to be confusing for some Fans - there is no implying in any shape or form - my post is factual ........

I will give them time to show what they are about and to see if they are professional and all inclusive of the fan base and not just those who donate.

I appreciate you found my initial question as inflammatory. That was not my intention. I’m not going to convince you that some of the reaction and comments relating to jlow are sexist.
