I am sure people from other clubs read what is said on line, our inactivity in this window although as i have already said we are not alone in that. Also as i have already said until the announcement it is all speculation and rumours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second half John Rankin nullified our wing backs , scored and it was game over. Totally get what he says about inexperienced bench but they shouldn’t be , instead of kissing Sevco’s arse and developing their players ( Weston and McKinnon) we should be pushing our own players on to see if they can make the grade , guys like James Lyon and Zander McKenzie should be given starts to see if they can step up . McCall has been here for the best part of 3 years and possibly 6 transfer windows and I believe he’s been supported ably by previous BOD’s and we’re no further forward as a Club Guys like Owen Coyle at Queens Park and even McPake at Dunfermline seem to build squads within a few transfer windows, we just seem to be plodding on. Time for a change , even untried guys like Dools / Brian Graham should be given a shot at it . Agreed . Was at the game and agree with you . It was clear after 20 minutes which way it was going to go . Plenty of possession , pretty patterns but no cutting edge .If we should have had 2 pens - I missed them.

If true then there’s no purpose in hiding the catastrophe of the Low era and exactly what was going on or not going on to lead us to the edge of the precipice I couldn't agree more and believe we'll hear from the Board in the near future. In the meantime, the gate money and TV money from the Rangers game will help to ease some of the pressures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted January 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 The strategy of J Low was always very clear when it came to finance hence why the most recent set of accounts show cash in hand at £330K compared to over £660K in 2019. I recall the meeting held after David Beattie & co had returned when one of the directors who had been on the board and was kept on (Malcolm Cannon) was quite clear that the board's strategy under J Low was based on a large overspend.

javeajag Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 If you are purporting to be fan owned then you have an obligation to communicate with your members on matters relevant to the club and the teams performance. The financial situation is clearly one of those particularly as it directly affects the squad we can have. the new board should have commissioned two reports both from independent external parties one on the financial situation and the other on the condition of the stadium. it’s fairly clear that many people now know that our finances are in a desperate position, that the old board left a complete shambles and certain stated commitments did mot materialize. it would be better to let us all have a common understanding of where we are. indeed the policy of the board communicating nothing to the fans is one thing that seems a constant.

sandy Posted January 29, 2023 Report Share Posted January 29, 2023 The difference this time around is that I trust the process and the people involved. TJF have communicated well so far, let’s be patient while they bottom out the mess and construct a way forward to meaningful fan ownership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueless, without the capability to motivate or inspire any type of performance. Jim Goodwin was heard to say "at least I'm not as bad as that dick at Maryhill". but what of the other pigeons Archibald and the other dick taking a wage out of the club. As supposed assistant managers when presented with the team sheet, never laughed as told McCall "I right" Thanks for the shout out. Be great to hear the Firhill stands all calling out my name.

It’s interesting because by your own account you don’t get to games and that you post you have lost all interest in football and Partick Thistle and just can’t be bothered with it.

It was widely discussed on here if you bother to take off your rosé tinted McCall glasses Don't think the Trust or TJF would have access to the books to understand how much money was actually spent on the playing budget and how true the Directors statement is. Its possible that Jlow may be overstating how much was invested in the playing budget to cover overspend on other areas I don't think the accounts show any detail on how much the playing budget increased. Only information I can see is the number of playing staff and thats only taking us to May 2022 so last season. Won't be until we see accounts for 22/23 we can see any 'real' numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You choose to believe the bunch of charlatans that said they didn’t need funds from TJF. I don’t have rose tinted McCall glasses. Maybe another manager could have got us promoted, but for me the most damage has been done by the board wasting Colin Weir’s money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
