The Jags Foundation - News Bulletin Thread


Recommended Posts

You elect a Jags Foundation board to engage with the club board. I would have expected better from the Jags foundation.

Have these discussions with the board in private not through social media.

TJF has every right/obligation to lay out the case to its members.  I am not familiar with any “social media” airing of grievances.

Given the timing of the follow-up meeting, I would have either withheld the communication to after the meeting or made the communication less “blame-y”.  Something to the effect of, “we have heard your complaints about X, Y, Z and will be addressing with the board at a scheduled meeting…”

Happy to be corrected, but I am not aware of TJF conducting its discussions with the Board through social media. As a member of TJF I received yesterday an email indicating various matters which TJF intended to raise at a meeting with the Board this week. I am not a social media animal, but I am not aware of TJF posting about this on social media. No doubt individuals, some perhaps TJF members and some perhaps not, have chosen to air their opinions on these matters by social media, but that is different from TJF itself doing so.

Would it not have been better for TJF to simply have said they were meeting the Board to discuss areas of concern and issues raised by their members, rather than a detailed list, which was obviously going to get leaked and shared.

That is how a professional organisation would have done it, rather than launching a few very public grenades.

I don't see any benefit from their approach other that generating more unrest at the club during a crucial time in the preseason business.

They chose to make this very public, which resulted in the discussions on social media.

The TJF board were elected to act on our behalf, there is no need to send this before the meeting with the club board.

It was poor judgement.

Clubs a total cluster**** yet roasters in here think it’s fine 


Shafting Graham 

appointing a DOF

appointing a FULL TIME Woman’s coach while overlooking a vastly experienced guy who’s already in the role 

no keeper at the club

no signings

no kit launch

Pitiful 600 season tickets only sold 

2 boards made up of inexperienced clowns posting shit on social media 

 

aye but it’s ok eh FFS , some of you lot need a right boot up the arse FFS

I am generally supportive of TJF and I do think they have the best interest of Partick Thistle at heart, however I think this could have been handled better and they must have known that the email sent would be inflammatory. I hope that lessons have been learned.

Read the joint statement and as much as I'd love 'join the red and yellow army for 2025-26' I am seeing absolutely nothing from the club to tempt me.

Tinpot organisation, infighting, unprofessionalism and making us a laughing stock as usual.

I cannot be the only one that needs to see something in return before blindly stumping up season ticket cash.

My fear in appointing a Sporting Director is we would become a but like Falkirk and their Gary Holt experiment.

However appears we are also going for the Sevco approach and issuing statements like confetti.

By now we should be withholding the the red, yellow and black pound but appears like we are instead spending it on a new finance director

It’s quite breathtaking really. Why doesn’t the club have a current financial director? Who’s been looking after the money?

Is it the accountant who said he couldn’t identify a single pound that could be cut from club expenditure?

Applications here for new financial director role.  Could maybe have added onto the description a versatile individual who can not only look after the purse strings but can provide cover as goalkeeper, full back and striker when needed.
