GOAT 30,449 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Fan ownership can suck my baws, and this is coming from someone who wanted it like the German model. Then I realised just how pathetic some of our own support are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde Valley 234 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 "Our current cash-flow, or somewhat lack of is a major sticking point – coupled with what seems to be a lot of greed at boardroom level – makes me feel uneasy. I have written and commented before, I have no problem with business men making money off us as long as the club is profitable. It’s the way football has become. However, I maintain that until the club makes a profit, not one person at boardroom level should consider taking a bonus or an over-inflated salary."Are we paying players and bills and if so where is the cashflow problem? What member of the board is taking an over-inflated salary?Maybe we need Paul and Malky? Its obvious some wont be happy until they get their men in.

Did you miss the AGM? Did you miss the backstabbing tactics, the split in our fan base, the arguments, the fights? The lies from the other side. Some of our support are pathetic.

RFC55 108,841 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 If cash flow wasn't a problem, we'd have hardly recruited Nash... Also, where does the article mention either of the Murrays?If you don't 100% back this current board then clearly pm is your hero, you know that Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 So you shouldn't chase your dreams?Sure but there has to be a realistic starting point, relying on Dave King seems to be the only change people are moving for...

j1mgg 3,766 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Have you seen our supporter groups, I wouldn't trust a single one and I am supposed to give this lot proxy of my shares.Fans have had the option in the past to invest, and even again note recently and look at what the figures were.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Rebels got their ass kicked at the agm but their followers never give up.We've got morally and ethically bankrupt fans groups who cannot even manage their own organizations cohesively yet they envisage themselves owning and running the club.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 When we went into admin I was all for fan ownership, but after watching the mask slip on a fair few of our support over the last couple of years I think its further away than ever if not a totally dead duck in the water.

I'd like to hope our next FD salary is more in line with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
