She’d get the players contracts ending on the right date for a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is often the chairman that takes the role in a small business Private limited companies do not formally need a CEO. Prior to Ian Maxwell being appointed CEO (he was previously employed as a General Manager) I don't believe Thistle ever had one. A limited company does need to have at least one director, and will usually (though does not, as a matter of statute law, have to have) a company secretary. Those are different roles which can, but need not be, held coterminously with a role of CEO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivad Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 Watching the Wimbledon final on Sunday, Mrs Sivad exclaimed "There's the King of Spain". I thought, that's not Gerry Britton! Good luck to Gerry. Few people have been associated with Partick Thistle for such a long time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anniesland Jag Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) Gerry had to walk a difficult line during the Low era as an employee of the Club ,however he helped drive us through a very difficult during covid,lockdown,relegation and the fallout of the Low era.He was also a great player for us and would hope he is afforded the respect and a friendly welcome he deserves at Firhill on any return .

javeajag Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 It’s good for all concerned that Gerry is moving on. He will always be remembered as a great player for us. his departure now creates a clean slate with the new board as we move very, very slowly towards fan ownership and a new future. since we seem to appoint ex players as ceo/gm how about chic charnley ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it won’t interfere with his other responsibilities like running the team and working the pie stall at halftime. Talking of Pie Stalls I understand Pie Sports have revamped all their stalls and are now looking the dog ‘s whatnots !. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exiledjag Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 Seems to be the season for removing the old guard and bringing in the new younger guard - SNP and now the Jags. Best of luck to both in their respective quests to move forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenziejag Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Does a fan owned club need different skills from its CEO, particularly or is it just coincidental circumstance that he was available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the answer to that but the Club's gotta be congratulated over cost cutting. No needless costly adverts placed in the situations vacant columns.

The Legend Blows Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Is it me or is this the thinnest squad we've ever had at this point of a preseason? Love all the OS updates but the lack of player news is doin ma head in. Doolan has 2 weeks to beef out the squad and I may skoosh some cash on a ST. Otherwise it's watching from the couch for me this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow & Redneck Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) Lack of signings are to be excepted. With the club in financial difficulty, we could be saving a hefty fee by not signing players too early and paying them over June, July, and August. Obviously that means we are likely to miss out on high value targets, but I don't think we were expecting to aquire household names this pre-season anyway. I wouldn't be getting worried just yet. Indeed, if that is the strategy, I doubt the board held out too much hope for the League Cup. But a win on Saturday and I think we can safely say we've over achieved given the size of the squad.

Otherwise it's watching from the couch for me this season. Gotta say I see it differently. It's only a few weeks gone since many of us were thinking we'd be lucky to assemble anything close to a competitive squad. Admittedly threadbare but thought was the squad would be padded out with even more youngsters (our own and loanees). That may still be the case but the very fact it hasn't happened hints we may be able to secure more established players. Surely the current situation is considerably rosier than it looked like it would be six or so weeks ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legend Blows Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Time will tell. I know Doolan needs ST money to get players in. The fact that people like me are holding off and complaining hasn't escaped me either. Still, I'll hold off and see what kind of squad he's rustled together a couple of days before RR at Firhill and decide then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
