Norgethistle Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 5 minutes ago, AndyMac said: I don't disagree with you Norge. All that you state is true. My point is that as a club, through the generosity of Colin Weir, we own our ground and have no debt. I believe that this is an enviable position to be in. Far better than being in the hands of vulture capitalists. However, I too have absolutely no faith whatsoever in Jacqui Low and her sidekicks, who've pretty much ridden along on Colin Weir's coat tails. These charlatans, if left in charge will in short time have the club deep in the financial mire. I wouldn't trust them to run a bath. Nevertheless, at the moment it does appear that the club is in sound and stable financial position, that we can hopefully capitalise upon, when a new more capable board is appointed (hopefully sooner rather than later). I do agree that we need to cut our cloth to suit our circumstances and to seriously look at ways to bring new and greater income sources into our club. Currently we don’t own the club or the ground, 3 black cats do. Dependent on the working groups proposal (I have a lot of faith and trust in several of them), 3 Black Cats will decide whether to hand over the deeds or not, I’m also not sure if the executing of Colin Weirs estate will have any impact on to this. It’s only 5 weeks away, these guys are working their damndest to get it right, but ultimately the decision will be with the person that now effectively controls 82% of the club and owns 50% of the ground. We could have the best proposal ever in the history of fan ownership, something that a large majority of fans buy into, but if those holding the ball don’t agree then it’s game off.

Whatever way we dress it up , it’s down to bad management if we can’t get a team organised to compete in the higher reaches of the Championship I am going to throw this in here. The expectations of the fans of Arbroath and Alloa are lower than our fans expectations. We put more pressure on the players/managers/directors to achieve promotion. It is obvious that none of them have coped with the pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elevenone Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Scores going our way so far. QOS on horrendous run also so Tuesady is vital. Think it’s fair to say a 3 horse race for bottom 2 places now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAG1970 Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 If I’m reading the bbc table correctly then a win for us on Tuesday puts us on same points as them plus a game in hand for us, and 1 point behind Alloa with a game in hand over them too. No more excuses, we need to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 And we have such a great record against sides who have just sacked/appointed new managers. Let’s hope he gets a stay of execution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 When we beat Morton away 28th December, we went above them. Since then we haven't won any games and Morton are unbeaten. Morton now have a chance of being in the top 4. Just shows what a good unbeaten run with a number of victories in it can do. Tuesday night is a must win no matter who is in the away dug out. As others have said it is in our own hands now. 8th is a very achievable position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
