Ferguson had his chance last season. 30 league games and 4 playoff games. He got us relegated. After two games this season we sit ninth. We continue on a downward spiral. We may win the odd game here and there, but he has proven himself to be not the man to lead us to success.

Finish the clear out !

A move to block KM gaining a majority shareholding, therefore removing SG in the process!

Scratch team ????? That was our strongest starting 11!

Last seasons kit. Probably no money ( yet), to get the new one. Also noticed they only had numbers, no names on the back.

This guys tactics will be the death of us! Well……me at least

People are free and entitled to their opinion. Comments and observations should not always be viewed as criticism. Not sure why anyone would join an organisation unless it believed in their views and objectives. Thankfully we are all different and can form our own opinions without having the conflicting view of a few individuals.

They may have some voting right relevance, but any credibility they had in many peoples wider view, was tarnished when they sent out conflicting advice to their membership. How would they use any voting influence they have if they can’t even offer a unified position? A few ST members I know have bought season tickets despite what the position of the Trust, so not even representing some of its own members.

I agree with all you say there. Adding that he also had the audacity to give a contract to his son, who Forfar said was not good enough for them!!!

Ferguson, Bollan and Kellagher got us relegated due to poor results last season. How long do they get this season before change is necessary ??? Beaten so far this season by highland league, and league 1 teams. Is it only a matter of time???

Get the loanees lined up !!!!!

To our knowledge, not one penny has changed hands yet. Nothing is done, until it’s done.

Why would any new owner want to meet with the Trust given they have advised not to buy season tickets etc. How many Trust members are there, a few hundred? Definitely not representative of everyone. I bought my season ticket a week ago despite the Trust advising not to. Not a very coherent organisation which has very little credibility!

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.

The Club have no money to employ staff or buy stock to serve in the Sports Bar.

It should be worrying that after four low tempo friendlies and one league cup game, that players are already managing injuries. With most league 1 teams playing on plastic and us training more at HRFC & Millburn, then can only see more impact on our squad fitness. At least Duncs loves playing youth on plastic. !!!!!!!!!

Last season with arguably better players DF didn’t manage to keep the team in the Championship. Not only that he got rid of battlers ( Welsh, Carson), who he didn’t like for some reason and sidelined the likes of Ujdur, Davidson, McGregor etc. Over 30+ games we saw the team slip further & further down the league until the inevitable happened. He claimed throughout that we were playing well and kept quoting the defensive record etc. How blind is he to the fact that all of that is irrelevant if every other team in the league has better results. He then ( as far as we understand), doesn’t speak or engage with players after relegation when he is the manager! This season with arguably a weaker / developing plus older players in a challenging league I fear will not learn from last seasons disaster and bring in loaners when he has a budget and repeat the same mistakes! He is getting off too lightly given all the other financial disasters we face. If the supporters trust and press don’t ask the hard questions he needs to answer, then who can. Cant blame fans for feeling so detached from the club. I have lost any faith in him I might have once had. Never spoken with him and he might be an ok bloke, but as a manager & coach at our club, he has already proven he doesn’t have what it takes!

Despite asking fans to support the team in Annan………. Panos himself was not there.

What good players would we offload??? More incoming players equals young players back out on loan etc. Operations should be standard conditions under players personal and club responsibility regardless of money. The manager is unlikely to be paid off, it may be part of the attraction for a new investor. Money doesn’t equal success, but I agree we can’t function without it.

Whilst new investment is welcomed, I’m not sure money will solve the underlying issues.

It has been very quiet since the Supporters Trust changed their minds and advised they didnt now recommend buying season tickets. What’s the latest from them, is this still their position, have they had any further communications from the Club????

I think during that period the groundsman ( Tommy Cumming at the time) did both. Now all teams right down to Highland league etc have someone who sorts out kit and all the other stuff players and training staff need.

A near neighbour of the last Physio says that both the current physio and Kitman have resigned from the Club! Not sure if it’s for the same or different reasons, but that’s not great news. Looks like there could be internal issues as well as financial ones. I suppose this is what happens when you don’t treat folks right. The Club are apparently relying on physios from Ross County. what a state to be in!

I don’t understand the reluctance for the Club to put a date on the resigned CEO,s departure. I also have worries about the current management team having already failed to keep us in the Championship over 30+ games. But it seems like we are stuck with those proven failures! At least his son got a job though, whilst good players and staff were cut out!

I have the same thoughts. I think if no new investment is found then we won’t have a Club anyway. The ST money is to my mind not for investment in youth or local players but just keeping the Club afloat and paying the current bills. I have still not renewed as I don’t know what my money is going towards. I will wait and see the CEO situation and who will run the Club after that and if there is any new money coming in. My fear is that if the current failed management team do get money to spend, then a load of loanees come in again and the youth we were promised would get their chance are sent back out on loan. Who is in charge and who is making the decisions affecting the Club??? I won’t renew until this is clearer.
