I think starting from the time Beattie stepped down, the 6-9 months of the Consortium, Beatties coup, TFE and now the interim board. If there is no focus in the boardroom, there is a possibility that focus is diminished on the park as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organisations that do well are ones which have very clear aims, everyone in the organisation knows their role and how it fits in with achieving those aims and there is usually a clearly defined structure. I am not sure we have had all of this in recent seasons. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoke to an ex-coach and manager of Miller just last week. Miller wasn't "let go." Miller wanted out, and had serious misgivings about the way the club was being run on and off the pitch.

Lenziejag Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 2 hours ago, javeajag said: Can you give specific examples to support this claim .....8 new players in January not enough ? You keep asking for specific examples, but we are giving our opinion on what is going wrong. It is very simplistic to say success or failure is down to one issue. 8 new players isn’t in itself evidence of focus by the board. If there is evidence that they questioned McCall on the reasons for picking those players, that would help. Do you have that evidence ?

If you have a chaotic boardroom / business place you will only produce more chaos. To my mind we have probably been a badly run company since the top 6 place in the Premier League, and probably before. It may be there has been layers and layers of wallpaper covering the cracks in the PTFC organisation? Genuine concern, if we go down to league 1, that slide into crowds of 300 / 400 may be enough to ruin the club completely.

You’ve got to break the signings down Cole , Barjonas, O’Connor, Mayo are all loan signings and I don’t believe would cost a lot The contract signings, Zak Rudden on a 2 year deal who is a work in progress and hasn’t played a lot of first team football, Blair Lyons on a 2 year deal and loaned back to Montrose , Brian Graham on a 2 year deal and finally Darian McKinnon on a 6 month contract and whose best days are behind him. If people think that we had a good transfer window they’ve been seriously misguided, IMO only one player out of these transfers is going to make a difference in a relegation dog fight and that’s Brian Graham.
