Backing managers in the transfer market, appointing a manager with a good track record that the majority of fans were behind, I think McCall's times up but the demise is not the chairwomans fault. To be honest it all began around the time Maxwell left. Blame the players, full time in a part time league, and the old pals act management team, but from what I can see the ' chairwoman' has provided funds, backed managers and has thistle at heart and is way down the list of people to blame for the club's current position Problems start at the top. I'm not convinced that our Chair has an awareness that the primary aim of a professional football club is the first team winning football matches. Besides, were we not told explicitly that Jacqui Low was not going to be involved with running the club? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That appointment has really set the club back. Plus I’ll raise you the way that Doolan was treated, puerile club statements despite her being a PR professional, going in a huff when criticised about her and Caldwell’s videos, supporting a fan in the making of a ridiculous banner, the whole family club nonsense, hiring Caldwell, reappointing Rough to the board. Is that enough for you? Can’t blame her for hiring McCall as that was her predecessor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can see she hasn't put any of her own money in but have instead spent/squandered Colin Weir's cash. However leaving her financial contribution aside she has been chairwoman for most of the last 3 seasons. During which we narrowly avoided relegation, got relegated and are now getting turned over by Cove Rangers and Clyde. She has managed to hack a fair old amount of Thistle fans during her tenure by various gaffes. If you need me to list them indiviudally then you haven't been paying attention. For any club to keep such a divisive and error prone person in a senior post tells the rest of the staff that mistakes will be tolerated.

lewcal Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I honestly don’t know how much more of this I can take. To say I’m scunnered and embarrassed is an understatement. Iv backed the club financially throughout the summer (season tickets,merchandise,centenary fund etc) and now I’m starting to think they’ve seen me coming. What’s seriously concerning me is how NOTHING has changed since our relegation season from premiership. Different manager, different players but same old toothless team of sh1tebags taking the field on a Saturday. I like mccall and I was delighted when he was appointed but he’s fast running out of time to get this right. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Weir obviously had faith in her financial management. Why don't you blame the players, bannigan, foster, oware etc. and management before the chairperson.

On you go list the problems? No other chairman gets the same attention as Jacqui Low, its always the players and management first..she's put money into transfers and appointed managers the majority of fans were in favour of...so what should she have done differently??

Who thinks the current Board sacks McCall? Who thinks given the mood amongst supporters that a Board following a direction set by The Jags Foundation (membership made up of fans) keeps McCall. A tricky one for those who don't want fan ownership. Just say no thanks we don't want the shares and control remains with TBC or hold your nose sign up and have the opportunity to set a new direction. Anyway off to put my head back below the parapet. Current board is anonymous We can’t afford to fire him Problems run deeper than manager Jags Foundation currently has no power, remit or backing of majority of fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avie-man Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 McCall is the biggest blowhard in Scottish Football. Talks as good a game as anyone but delivers nothing. He's damaged goods and needs to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divides the fans- that's because ' she's' become a scapegoat. Caldwell probably would be doing a better job than McCall's.

Appointed Caldwell, Presided over 3+ years of shite, PR disasters with her silly videos which she went in a huff about when people questioned them, treated Dools and Erskine like shite, reappointed Rough, Embarrassed herself on social media by getting the young team to make a silly banner in protest of the SFA/SPFL, All her nonsense family club, inclusive pish. She is a failed business person and if you have ever met her is a total egomaniac. In short she is an embarrassment and if this was the 80's 90's there would have been hordes of fans outside firhill demanding she be gone. Unfortunately we are in the digital era and with no fans at games we will be stuck with this tool and her sycophant cohorts for a long time to come. And that Thistle Foundation taking over is as big a joke as her and her board. We will be lowland league within 5 years if we keep on as we are. Ps. She has put in **** all!

Muscat Jag Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Oh God, just finished watching that. What a shower of ****** losers. What in the name of sweet Jesus was Doherty doing? What a complete prick. Was shocked at how awful Cove were. They were absolute pish, created the square root of **** all. We still managed to hand them a victory on a plate. What the **** has happened to our club? For the first time since 1968 I really think I need a break from this. As if the world wasn't shit enough at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
