TheLawMan 6,240 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I thought english was try to provoke GW but wisely he didn't bite, certainly looks and sounds the real deal does GW.I agree.

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I liked reading that.I also believe him when he says we wont be going into administration. So can we please stop worrying about that.I like what he has to say on scouting, in fact I can't really pick fault with anything in there.I hope after reading this, everyone can start to get on board and back him, and the board. Lets stop all the bullshit squabbling and in-fighting, and at least try and trust him to do what he says he will do.Nothing he has said seems unrealistic, or not achieve-able.It's funny how dme won't even wait the 120 days to see what the plan is !!It was a good interview - decent tough questions are reasonable answers - I awAit day 120 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKIP BEAR 370 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The only slight sticking point i have is that,he was asked if ally gets it(financial situation)and he said he believes he does.Then the squad book into a plush hotel instead of driving a hour and a half up the road in a luxury coach.Pissing our money down a stank imo.

OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Enjoyed reading that. Some good questions asked by English even if he is a poisonous little toad of a man.Some very bad questions like "Are you up to date with tax payments?" , the questioning about Lee Wallace and are you going bust, basically.There were mainly good questions, but there were those which displayed his agenda for scaremongering about our Club. He wouldn't ask other clubs such questions. He wouldn't even consider asking them of another certain CEO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandable nowadays how we are all suspicious of the way the press treat us , and yes , I'm sure english likes his wee digs , but on this occasion it's a chance to kill some of this scaremongering once and for all - and I felt Wallace did just that.

TheLawMan 6,240 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 And ?Well, given that Ally confirmed it had been agreed and that he was just waiting to sign a bit of paper, perhaps in those 3.5 days, he signed it. Or perhaps having agreed it, the club have processed it with effect from end of month pay pending a signature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hubbard 280 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 GW: Panic? I’m not sure I would call it panic. If you look at a football club you have to have a sense of what the next five years look like and then you plan accordingly. You don’t plan for 12 months in isolation. One of the things I have found is that the focus has (previously) been in the near-term. There’s been areas of expenditure where money has been spent and shouldn’t have been and other areas where we should have been spending and didn’t. The classic one was scouting and recruitment. At a time when this club needs to be identifying and scouting talent and acquiring talent at attractive levels our scouting and recruitment was largely dismantled. A small example of short-termism. does this mean the "everything's all right brigade" on here were wrong ?...surely not !I will wait for the accounts to be published, the sponsorship deals to kick in........well we can always sell Wallace if we have to....or Auchenhowie Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you just accept that all evidence says he got it and admit you were wrong.

scarkev 3,540 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Good interview from Wallace.....the bit that sticks out for me is the short term planning we have operated on in the football side. The usual suspects on here defend the manager to the hilt and he is certainly not solely to blame but he did say he can't plan long term because he'd lose his job.....that philosophy has held us back.....a blind man could see the way forward for us upon starting in the bottom tier and many posters commented on how much they were looking forward to the opportunity to rebuild long term for once.....that hasn't happened and mccoist has to take some responsibility for that!

DAVIE8CH 296 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 we know that English is not one of our favourite journalists but it needed a hater like him to ask these type of questions which Wallace has answered and has alleaviated the majority of our fears. What I take from this is we have the right person to carryout these difficult decisions, which in turn will make us a better prospect for more investment on our journey back to the top where we rightfully belong. The other good thing is the involvement of the wider fan base and not just what is in place at present which certainly doesn,t reflect the majority of our fans.
