STFU

Allegedly, 3 directors have submitted resignations but these have not yet been processed as the auditors would not have permitted 'going concern' status without them in situ. Trade debt has increased by about £250k, outstanding tax liability has increased by £120k and director loans sit at around £800k (which would explain the need to keep them in place). Anyone remember how much debt we had when the stadium was sold off previously? With nearly £2million of debt, we must be at about that stage again?

Given his proficiency with the line, I thought he may have moved from playing, to refereeing

Pretty hard to tell someone to GTF without it being personal!!!....or was their more to it?

I think the total lack of posts on the match thread speaks way more for fan apathy then any post on this thread. Sad times.

At home

Dodds has to go, of that there is no doubt. The problem is, when he goes, I don't trust the current regime to appoint anyone better

Interesting thought that came up in conversation at work today. Despite the fact any real hope of promotion has gone, the CEO/Board may not want to sack Dodds as they think we're unlikely to be relegated, and on the pitch dramas are distracting people from what's happening (or not happening) off the pitch.

Coincidence that the first time we've sold out hospitality, the game gets shifted Gardiner's demonstration of faux outrage and claims of anti ICT agendas should be due soon.

Thankful for small mercies

Just to be clear, I have completed the survey. I'm not saying the questions are not relevant, what I'm saying is that as things stand, the only message the club should need reinforcing right now is "Fans are not satisfied". If they can't see why, then they shouldn't be running things. When fans (people in general) are so dissatisfied, then they lose objectivity on everything, and you won't get a true view of where the priority issues are because EVERYTHING will be a problem. When you don't have a big resource, which the Trust doesn't then, under the current circumstances, you have to pick your battles...not try and fight all battles at once.

I'm a rat who has brains enough to recognise a bad bet

Pretty certain the last mention of the survey I saw was a member of the trust board saying it was being developed in association with the club, so you'll understand my assumption in that regard. Have no idea who you are, but assuming you are also a trust board member? One of you is wrong...or did it change as the club stopped cooperating on that initiative also?

Agree. Look at the Superbowl. Quarterback fecks up big time... first thing the team do is give him the ball/play on the next move, he aces it, and they go on to win. If that's not what the coaches/management are instilling in players, they are culpable. Dodds throwing a player under the bus by saying it was a pivotal mistake that cost us the game and chances of league title is amateur hour level man management.

Survey is way too long...it only needs two question scored from 1 to 10. 1. How satisfied are you with the way the club is being run just now? 2. How likely are you to continue attending matches next season? Everything else just creates noise for them to hide behind... assuming they actually acknowledge the outcome. Appreciate the efforts of the Trust, but the club are just giving you busy work to keep you quiet and out of the way for a little longer.

If I refuse to give any more money to the charlatans running out club, I'll be fecked if I'm going to put money in the pockets of those running opposition clubs.

Do unto others....

He needs sacked or the Board/CEO need to make a statement backing him, and explain why.

As I've said elsewhere, I'd rather see the club backing efforts to improve conditions for those fans who don't have the luxury of climbing steps to get into the stands. This thing with Kindergarten 94 reeks of them (the club) trying to regain some popularity... the timing is no coincidence. What's more, should we achieve a return to the Premier League, then the west stand couldn't be used without adding seats. On no front does it make sense to waste time or money on this project. Also, who's holding the money being raised? I wouldn't trust it to be in the clubs account given all the chat around our financial situation!

Problem is, any money we make in the cup is being blown by dropping places in the league. We've also got a shed load of debt all over the city that needs repaid before a penny can be spent on signings. What I'm saying is, we're broke, and even a cup win isn't going to save our finances.

Given the state of our finances, I imagine we'd take just about any offer.

I've inherited a load of old programmes from pre-2000. Might be a couple of complete seasons among them. Anyone know if they have any value?

And taking a far larger support to the rearranged fixture due to the poor management of handing out vouchers after the game ....and free buses.

1 before and still 1 after. This pattern of a run of painfully awful games followed by one entertaining one, and fan acceptance that it somehow means we're doing better than we are, is why we're in this mess and it needs to end. I enjoyed the Livi result and maybe we can do something in the cup, but it doesn't undo all the shyte or give any hope for the league. Dodds still needs to gtf, and Gardiner et al need to go with him.

That'll do. Hearts in the Semis and Darvel in the final... please
