Boston Red Sox Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 We have new owners who in all probability are going to sit afar and preside over a **** show of a season which may end in relegation. We are haemorrhaging money with pretty much the largest following amongst our peers with transfer money used for working capital (apparently). A CEO who is (by all accounts) paid a handsome purse and delivering what exactly? The manager persists with sh1thouse tactics week in week out, is he so blind and stubborn or is this an instruction. Root to tip we are not fit for purpose at the moment and something is stinking the club out. So what do we do? I have unfortunately not renewed my season ticket but will not be going to Livingston. Finishing joint bottom of that group is not acceptable, period. If there is a strong enough feeling I’m happy to leave the Falkirk game too, this sh1te needs to change and we need to do something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifes Elite Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 (edited) Small thing, they arnt new owners ( they defacto are the owners even though they havn't converted the loan).

Piracy Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Yep, we're in a hole. I hate negativity and I also dislike being too critical of the club but this is turning into a poor situation. It's been obvious things have been heading this way for ages yet we were told there's nothing to worry about as the gentlemen in charge were all successful prople and suitably qualified to lead the club. Well, let's see leadership, I'm not saying it's easy, it's not, but they've taken us to this point get us out of it. I've bought our 2 season tickets, we've a full bus for the game next week. I'll continue to support the team and hope they sort their shect out. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Very difficult for the Pars atm in terms of how we move forward. I didn’t detect a lot of anger at FT but the prevailing mood of abject apathy was perhaps even more corrosive. A lot of people are saying get rid of McPake and I’m not buying into that, but tactically we should be doing better against 2 second division teams at home and he should be doing better with the resources available to him. I believe McPake is not being financially supported by the BOD as a Manager, and its no secret that the club is skint. We appear to just manage in terms of running the club as a going concern off the pitch but there is nothing available to the manager The appointment of a new director who appears to specialise in cash liquidity is no surprise. So the question is do we get rid of the Manager because he is a easy target or do we look beyond that and look at who is supposed to be running the club. There is a lot of questions to be asked but why replace the Manager when a new Manager comes in and has his hands tied in the same way. We need to be aware of the bigger picture. We need to get behind the team. COYP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougieDave Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Its a worrying time - I thought I was feeling bad about things until 10 mins ago when I stupidly drifted onto daft.net to see the mood there only to see a post attacking the disabled supporters club in a very subtle fashion - I didn’t think we’d sunk so low 😢 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutsch Par Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Hopefully the boy brought in to look over the books will advise to get rid of unnecessary expenses such as David Cook's wage. He serves absolutely no purpose for the club other than to make us a laughing stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secure Par Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 If the manager is not getting backed by the board then he just has to get on with it. This negatively will obviously spread through the team. This youth set up at Rosyth just looks like a dump and imo should have only been set up when we reached the Premier division playing at the top. McPake looks like he’s just trying to do his best with no support and what’s the point of asking the board for help as they see a long term plan… I wonder if Cook goes back and say”guys were needing an extra 2/3 players to compete” or he just gets told?

Al k Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 The manager makes himself an easy target by signing players and then not playing them in their positions. Is there genuinely any point of Cook? It's easy to pick on people when things are bad. The cut off for me is the footballs been awful under Mcpake since he came in. Cooks over seeing a club that last season bought players with money (Fisher, Otoo and KRH), now we can't even afford to sign players after a year in Championship with what sounds like another year of massive losses. Meggle our sporting director has saw us go from premier playoff to relegation year one, then promotion back to championship with a small squad and now a 2nd championship season with a ever decreasing squad and 4 games without even a back-up keeper. Thats three easy places to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't agree with that, I think for a crowd that barely scraped into 4 figures for a game that was virtually meaningless that the atmosphere was about as toxic as it gets.

Yorkiepar Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 Totally agree with you S’ally. It’s difficult to rise above the negativity that seems to pervade everything to do with the Club at the moment. And you can’t say anything other than better communication from the top might help to improve the situation; and I really don’t mean social media! Yes, we know they have a long term plan which they seem to be sticking to rigidly. Yes, we know that Meggle has a weekly conference with McPake so we have to presume that McPake is only doing his masters’ bidding. Yes, we understand that the future is going to be based on developing young talent ……… and I suppose that we’re starting to see the benefits of this. Our understanding is that the Board are not prepared to be held to ransom with signing new squad members, which I can sort of sympathise with, though it doesn’t bode well for the coming season. But wouldn’t it be good to have a regular (monthly?) review and statement of intent for the coming weeks and perhaps an explanation of decisions taken? I’m not saying that supporters have to be consulted on or informed about every/any decisions but the wall of silence that seems to be the norm at the moment is just bad PR. Period. Better communications wouldn’t cost them (the Board) anything but would, in my view, repay dividends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was plenty anger from fans audible near the directors box today. Of course I didn’t join in - far too mild mannered. 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
