    H&H made a interesting point last night FDB is a project manager. It really deepens on how the board what to look at things..... Do they want the title won next year. ...IF so I cant see it being FDB is  our aim now simply stop 10IAR well thats 3 years away so that would be ideal for a FDB type manager 

    The board wanted to win the title with all the managers they have appointed, just didn't actually want to back them as such, the board will keep appointing managers till one succeeds in winning the title , wether it be 10iar or 20iar, but when they do finally appoint someone that challenges that lot and wins the title they will be lauded as heroes and for being a success. Even if they have failed time and again with the appoints they make

    Yet there’s people on here calling King a liar, a criminal and glib, it’s like something from Ill Phil or a Tarrier Board. 

    Well has he been truthful throughout his period as chairman? Has you not been convicted in a court.of law where he bought his way out of a jail term? And hasn't a judge declared he was a glib and mendacious?

    I’m sure the boy went from Hamilton to Aberdeen for just £80 000

    Hamilton claimed to have accepted £80k offer from Preston, which was disputed by preston. The aberdeen fee is undisclosed, think aberdeen been offered £750k for McKenna

    I've been there. I'm certain it was a Asda but let's not argue over it...

    Yeah you're probably correct but it being "no worse" than some parts of central belt is hardly a ringing endorsement! 

    All about opinions clearly but I find that stretch of coastline particularly bleak and depressing, add in the accent and the "depressed" fishing town feel and to me, it's a hellhole! And I've lived in Africa. 

    Asda was the newest of the two. Tesco been there 10+ years

    Me and my mate are going to do an overnighter up there are there any Bears from up there that can reccomend any decent hotels? I know it's not a big place but any boozers to go at night or indeed avoid? 

    Can't say about fraserburgh, but could get Banff springs, and then head to the castle bar, ship inn, railway inn and a few others, and a short hop across to macduff and you have the plough, along with the park hotel for pubs, and a shit hole of a nightclub in banff called the seafield. Banff is like 17 mile from fraserburgh. 

     

    One Boozer to avoid is the aul Fife, full of the manky lot

    can't mind who told me this but heard a story from someone who met him and he said he'd never missed a penalty and someone said "did you not miss two?" and Hubbard said "the keeper saved them, son, I never missed"  ??

    That's what he said during the ibrox tour when I was on it the other year. The tour guide mentioned how he missed 3 pens and Hubbard said "no I never the keeper saved them".

     

    Such a brilliant man that happily takes the time to speak to everyone

    I don't agree with some of this but in a rush now to get ready.

    Transparency seems to be some kind of stick to beat them with. We had essays of updates on the club site and interviews. Do we need personal phone calls or something. Most boards tell their fans less than us. Ask the Geordies.

    What lies? Do you mean the 30 million up front? Nobody with any sense believed that but so far they have put in around 16 million in loans without interest or taking the stadium name or image type rights and we will obviously need more.

    The court cases are all to do with getting Rangers off the scumbags or trying to break contracts. I would rather that than still be watching Lambias and co taking what they could. Would you rather we were still with them instead of the court cases?

    The McInnes statement was lousy I agree. With regards the manager. He knocked us back. Not much we can do about that. It will be difficult to get a good manager as it's a tough challenge right now and no one of decent standing wants to look like a failure. I'd have appointed someone till the end of the season though.

    Because people are pissed off at the board they think I'm backing them. Tell me who you think we should replace them with and I'll probably agree. I don't know anybody. I'd love a new owner with enough money to get us back competing properly. I just don't think the current board are scumbags or as bad as made out. I used to worry that we would lose the stadium to the last lot or go bust all together with the ones before then. Those boards were scum bags. This lot might not be the solution to our problems but I'd rather them than what we had until we have another option.

    What do people propose instead of this board? I'd be happy to hear of solutions because it's all just criticisms from the likes of Boyd. 

    So now it's a who else would take over. Do You know any successful businessmen that knows about running a football club.

    Lies lets start 1: nomad where is it? 2: we will stay on the stock exchange? 3: I will personally put in £30m with another  £20m from.other investors over 4 year. Well where is it? 4: we will front load and treble the wage bill the challenge celtic. And again where is it?

    That's just 4 little lies told by king.

    As for the courts cases so could have been kept out of court by actually keeping the mouth shut and sorting it like businessmen. But instead you had king spouting shit before hand. Then you have the court case that sd brought in regards to murray and king breaching the rr contract. King being brought to court last Xmas by ashley. So yes you are correct in some cases being required but others happened cause of some pettiness of king to try 1 up ashley and its.only cost the club.

     

    Another lie we was told that loans are bad. But now they are good, so which is it.

    Instead of loans why didn't the board use the ability theynhad previously been giving and have a rights issue twice. Wouldnt that have been better than auctioning off future money from shares

    No, we can go back to the late 1990s if your talking about the mismanagement of the club. No doubt someone will say these guys where on the board then and they would have a good point. Certainly more so than blaming them for the state we have been in since administration because the vast majority of that lies with all the chancers who took large wads and left us tied up to dodgy deals.

    My main criticism of the board is Pedro. That was a shocking appointment. 

    This board has failed on 90% of what they came in to do. 

    No transparency, lies after lies, failed investment promises, had the chance to attempt to bring in money through 2 rights issues and instead thought it best for themselves to give loans instead of fresh investment repeated court cases which 9 times out of 10 it's due to king.

    Then you have the statement released about mcinnes, pathetic and excuse filled, the wait to appoint a new manager to then appoint murty who the md and dof claim was the only choice.

    How much longer must the board be giving a free ride to fail us and the club before some see what they really are like?

    The board made a howler with appointing Pedro. That always sets a club back and it's even more of sore one to take when the club isn't in a good place. We should be better than we are by now but hiring and backing the wrong manager nearly always causes problems in terms of progress.

    Out with this though I don't know what people expect from them. They ended the line of chancers ripping us off and have been trying to sort things out with regards to the dodgy deals left behind by former boards. They have as difficult a job as any manager we appoint. It's always going to be the case that they will get vilified the longer we remain one of the also rans but without serious money there is no quick solution to our problems. They don't have the sort of cash we need and that's the biggest gripe I have with them because they should be trying to find a buyer.

    Maybe they are open to offers right enough but there is no interest. It's easy to see why. It's because our club has been so badly run and is not in a good place financially. This was the case when they took over. No one else is interested because it's such a difficult task to make us the no 1 club in Scotland again. We can slaughter them all we want but  it won't change these facts. They are just not rich enough to restore us as quickly as we would like. Blame them for that all you want but the truth is that they have actually been subsidising us with loans. We would have less to spend without them and would probably still be borrowing Newcastle youth players.

    As for Boyd, it's easy to come out with stuff for pissed off supporters  by mirroring their concerns but he does the club no favours because it just makes the whole situation worse if fans turn on the board as without big money from new owners there is no quick fix. It's easy to throw stones from the sidelines but it's a lot more difficult to offer real solutions. How would he fix it if he was on the board? Would he subsidise us or downsize us? I see he thinks he can also sort the team out by bringing in physical players and doing an O'neil. That scum team cost fucking millions. I agree we could do with a more physical approach but if it was as easy as that Motherwell would be champions. We will need more than brawn to win titles again. We need good players and they usually cost money. So again it comes down to money. The board have backed the managers as far as I can see. Boyd also seems to blame them for the players the managers have brought in. Not so sure that is fair either. Blame them for picking the manager but not the players. Picking Pedro is the main blunder made by this board. They won't be the last board in football to pick the wrong man though. Pedro was so bad though that I would chase them for that alone if there was other options.

    Maybe the solution is Boyd himself right enough. He appears to know it all and would no doubt have us sorted quickly. Maybe he could be the first player/chairman/manager. 

    So it's all the previous boards fault then

  10. Boyd is spot on with what he says, at the end of the day the only group of folk that's to blame is the board, they have appointed about 25% of our total managers in our history, and we can't keep doing that without it turning arkund and biting us on the arse. 

    Things need to change and it needs to start with the board being open and transparent by accepted the blame for the failings of the club that we have witnessed and then cone clean about what has changed in regards to the original plans about funding.

    Any1 still trying to say it's not the boards fault but all the managers and who they bought. Well who brought those managers in exactly?
