So much for thorough search to find the best candidate possible. Convinced that Stewart Robertson is another one who'll be getting his picture taken with taigs in pubs and airports in a couple of years time quite the thing - ever feel as a fan your just being trolled to fuck off yer own club? Alex Rae said this on Radio Scotland today. Don't have a problem with this, they took recommendations then did interviews, not as if they just appointed him in Mendes' say so.

He wasn't on the radar until Mendes recommended him though - from what I heard he gave an outstanding interview if that's the criteria for looking hard to get the "best possible candidate" then fuck me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We fans lapped that up as did the media. At the end of the day all we can do is support PC, and hope the board haven't messed up. If they have, well that's another bridge to cross.

That's the same as how I feel. The reality is if this doesn't go well, serious questions should and will be asked about the directors.

Aye I get all that but you can support the guy but still have justified concerns about the recruitment process Band of Brothers, Sparkle and harlands plater 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any support should be cautious of any appointment it should be us after what we've suffered the last few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertsons a weird one for me. With Paul Murray's claim that we would only appoint 'Rangers minded' men to the board, why would we employ a guy who (not directly) voted us out of the league then once brought in proceed to stick the knife into his own fans after the SCF. Something just doesn't sit right with me regarding this guy (or the rest of the board for that matter). If the Caixinha appointment turns out to be a disaster, the whole lot of them should be hounded. Band of Brothers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our own club? It's becoming less and less our club as the years go on. Too many situations have arisen over the past few years which the club and some of our fans have handled poorly. Point being the amount of crooks passing through the doors and the fucking fans groups more interested in our reputation in Scottish football rather than deal with the wider effect online bloggers have on it. So aye mate, I feel like I'm getting trolled every time I read anything about us. K.A.I 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see where you're coming from mate but I sincerely doubt Pedro is here for any other reason than to enhance his reputation and become a successful manager in Europe. What happened to us before probably didn't concern him then and doesn't now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
