Use the GoFundMe money to pay off Ferguson FFS. 

If Ferguson would maybe stay at home and donate us his fuel money towards our 200k he’d be killing 2 birds with one stone . His coaching and tactics are  certainly killing us big time . .

No changes at the interval and it was a lively re-start two minutes in when PJ had to deny Mckay from a tight angle. Following an Alloa corner, Big Musa had to deny Morgyn Neill and at the other end Calum MacLeod burst forward andsaw his effort tipped onto the post before the rebound was cleared. Billy Mckay went close again after the hour before substitute Stefan Scougall forced Big Musa into a good save. A minute later MacLeod gave us some breathing space following a swift break forward, however Conor Sammon quickly pulled a goal back with a great header three minutes later into the top corner. Moments later it was all square when Donnelly looped a ball behind Dibaga after a long throw from Taggart and a touch from Sammon. Having been well in control we were now under the cosh but despite some hairy moments towards the end it finished all square.

FULL TIME: 2-2

This league is there for the taking, but sadly not by us with DF in charge. A season just to survive off the pitch, I suppose. Hopefully DF’s contract expires at the end of the season (does it?) and we get a decent manager in who knows something about winning and positive football to get us up next season. By which time I guess we’ll have to be part

How the board could not see through this guy in the last few years beggars belief. What the hell were they seeing in this fraud of a guy . It certainly wasn’t his charm, managerial   or people skills, He just rubbed everyone up the wrong way  .  Any football club now would surely avoid him like the plague . I Remember when he arrived he used to try use his  poor Scotty dog to try influence fans. Not a nice guy just a vile human being that thought everything evolved around Scot Gardiner .
Hopefully the creep  doesn’t get a penny  of the club , Continuously  taking unearned wages for years is criminal enough .   
Hopefully Savage finds enough on him . I’m sure any dirt on him would be appreciated .

Duncan Ferguson and his son

Wonder where Dunc and Bollan got their coaching badges from ? Great what you can pick up nowadays .

I'm beginning to wonder if Gardiner was out to completely trash the club for some hidden agenda. That would imply Morrison is somehow involved somewhere along the lines. After all, no one is that totally incompetent are they? Certainly not a "seasoned CEO" that's for sure. The question is "What would they stand to gain from the club going under?" Asset stripping but then we don't have many assets. What else could it be?

I think Morrison and Gardiner are clearly joined at the hip in all this and were only looking to line their own pockets with whatever means they could . Hopefully they both get found out for it all and it’s all brought out in the open . Is hiding information , figures etc from the board not illegal ? Surely they should be held to account if so . 

Have faith Clueless Dunc will have his same excuses ready . Absolute **** manager who will just ruin those young players confidence . Do us a favour and take Gardiner off down the road with you .

Don't shoot the messanger but from what I've heard, they're being held hostage in a shipping container down south cos the genius that is Scot Gardiner hasn't paid for them...

Heard that too . Guy is a fraud and only after whatever £’s he can make out of the club .

There is probably not a club in Scotland with less credibility than this one--anyone even considering taking on the manager's job in the current circumstances would need one criterion: to be completely desperate for a job.

Looks like that desperate one is already here . Clueless but knows he won’t get a job anywhere else,  same as his mate Gardiner now totally un employable in football .

GET MAKWANA OUT! 

Get the bloody lot of them out . Grassa and all the other idiots on the board that are quickly wrecking the club . Simple thing like getting the evil SG out of the club they cannot even manage . Killing the club the lot of them 

Smells more of a SG deal by the minute .

Short answer is they can't on the basis of what we have been told so far. I think this may be the club using the wrong language again in the same way as the manager uses "new owner" instead of "investor". Charles Bannerman has explained it well a couple of times alongside some number crunching. Major shareholder, yes, majority shareholder, no. 

 

Nope. I had a look, and instant (personal impression is that the company seem more Del Trotter than Jeff Bezos. Varying entrepreneurial enterprises over the years, advisor to PM in 2012 etc, and a lot of circular speech on the website. If I am wrong, and they bring stability, progress and direction to the club then I will be happy to admit my misgivings were unfounded. I want them to be those knights in shining armour that pick us up and bring us back to the premiership .... 

However, if they hope to retain the currently resigned CEO then they have lost me already. 

Not just you 

Awful news . An absolute character who will be so sadly missed .

But the CEO can clearly have his Hun material and Hearts etc memorabilia on his office walls which is clearly visible to anyone . This guy is a rocket . Oh how they Gardiners must love their unpopular status around town .

Scotty, I agree 100% with you.  When I said "surely many will remain", I meant that I just can't see a complete clearout and replacement happening.

Though I would indeed welcome that.  If we survive, then a complete reset - new board, new management and new attitudes to players, fans and community - is desperately needed, even if it means some time in the lower leagues.

That’s another rumour that when investment happens the whole board have agreed to resign but SG will stay and work with the new investment group . Rumour yes but any truth in it ?

I agree DD and I know your not having by a dig at me, more a plea for action on a collective basis of the fans (it will always only be them), to raise the level of objection (to the uncertainty of the way the club is being manipulated my certain individuals for there own end / greed), by protesting outside and during the game. 100% with you.

For me this is where the Trust should be leading from. Apologies for raising this old chestnut of mine again, but if the trust cannot be proactive or can initiate radical action to the way the club is being manipulated if front of our eyes (when it is possibly in its strongest ever position), when can it?? 
 

Maybe we need our own Greta to emerge and gather fan support in the way you suggest. (I’m past it!!).  Getting a demo would get onto the telly and papers for sure!!  I would be one to follow such person/demo.

I for one will not accept SG remaining in any form (direct or indirect) at the helms of the club. 

 
 

 

 

I agree I think the trust are a bit too slow about a lot of this . They have asked for answers and mostly met by silence and leave it at that hoping something is just around the corner . Any other club trust it would be organising a protest / demonstration to show as SG is so keen to tell people it’s a handful of fans . Clearly it’s not . It’s our club not his he’s only an employee who most think could even be sacked let alone resign.

I think the physio has left too and the Club is using physios from Ross County. I don’t think there is a sports scientist either. 

Yeah gone too . Nobody wants part in what he is doing or trying to do to the club . How can one guy be so hated and carry on . Shows u how hard faced he really is .Worth keeping a close eye on his and his wife’s businesses on company house as a few changes lately 

Just now, Fraz said:

I'd heard that they couldn't afford the bill for the kegs and also to save the cost of the staff. May not be correct of course. Surely we could buy a few crates of cider and beer on sale or return and just sell them instead?

I think SG is having staff problems . Many will not work whilst he is still controlling things . Has the kit man not resigned and only there until the end of the month as he like others cannot work alongside him .

Then the supporters Trust as the main group representing fans MUST clarify this, as the public statement by the club is contrary to this story (and I have heard it too). If necessary, the ST must also try to galvanise the support (members or otherwise) into forcing an AGM/EGM where this is the main subject. Secondary subjects to include board accountability for all this bulls*** and for the treatment of players. There should also be a nomination to get fan representation onto a newly elected (or in one or two individual cases, re-elected) board. If this ties in with new investors (not owners) then so be it, but the current state is just a slow decline into oblivion and no-one in authority seems to care. It is just fans who have no power (at the moment) who seem to give a flying f*** !!!   

And supporters wonder why Grassa and the board are been so quiet about this . It’s because they know what is going on and for some reason or another are scared of SG .Does SG have something on the board ?  Sure there must be dirt that can be dug up about SG too as he has certainly appeared to have a shady past the last decade or more ? Said it weeks ago something stinks in all this .

Yeah, full price below for those interested.

Rumour is it Sleazy Gardiner thinks he is going to be part of the new investment set up as their CEO hence why he is still hanging around  here like a really bad smell.
Never will I buy anything of the club until his association with ICT is over . If any new investor thinks this will win back fans they’re obviously not doing their homework and been fed a million lies from him . Our CEO thinks it’s a handful of fans against him.   WAKE UP Scot Gardiner  your hated by majority .

If we can get money to pay Ferguson's apparently ludicrous salary plus keep us full time, can we not find the money just to get rid of him??

 

He clearly is no manager and is much more likely to lead us into League 2 rather than the Championship....

We need a kit man maybe he could do that? Amazing how staff won’t work with Gardiner but they are scared to get rid of him . Mind boggles

And what evidence do you have that money will come in when he is "100% removed"?

Because that's all he's got to work with. There's no money to being anyone in.

Unless Gardiner et al clear out ASAP and new investment comes in we're going to end up going with the young lads for this season which is a big ask of them.

Gardiner needs to go now . We are obviously paying him up until  his supposedly resignation date that seems to be the secret of the century for some unknown reason by Grassa. Gardiner is CEO in name only, This guy is a fraud and has been at every club he has been to .He  should be sacked let alone be given the opportunity to  resign. Obviously strange goings on by the board who for some unknown reason are allowing this clown to drag them and the club further down this very dark tunnel .Not 1 board member seems to have a mind of their own which is alarming and disgusting . Why would the board hang on to him knowing very little money will come in whilst he is still here when the exact opposite happens when he is 100 % removed ? It doesn’t add up . The control freak needs removed .
