Every signing he has pursued has been backed by the Board. What about Thomas Meggle in his role as sporting director? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sits at home in Germany mostly, just like the rest of the investment group. Made a big deal about not being stay away owners but they are based on the evidence. Can’t remember the exact details but I think at the supporters council was he was mostly phone contact and he comes over once or twice a month for a few days. Wish I could do that in my job!

Al k Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 Am I right in thinking we can only bring in two more loans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what investment group owners do and why David Cook was appointed to oversee the club and report back I presume. I think more money has had to be put into the Academy project but I’m sure we could see 1 or 2 loans coming in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livipar2 Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 I think we are allowed 5 Scottish loans? So far we have Mochrie and Fisher so 3 more max 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t pay him a salary and his group have put money into the club. Would you like to work for us for free and fire in £670,000 for the privilege? 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not ****ing impressive. Hmm not sure that’s completely accurate or entirely fair. Covid caused a lot of problems, and last season didn’t help. They have to take some responsibility for the management choices, but certainly not all of it. Hence the restructure this season and the big change in board membership. My main point to counter yours it’s not like for like as a job. More needs to be done, no doubt about it. I do think they deserve a chance to do so - my personal opinion.

I do think they deserve a chance to do so - my personal opinion. Just being clear I’m not trying to put them from the club yet. Can’t blame them for the COVID season. But last season they take a huge amount of blame, as does the rest of the BoD cook aside. Anyone who was happy to appoint, refuse to sack grant and thought attacking loyal fans for being annoyed at that situation disgraced the club and cost it an absolute fortune never mind a division. Everyone involved in those events will rightly be under huge scrutiny, so far we are responding ok, nothing more. Should the gamble to not support the first team fully fail then I don’t see a way forward that doesn’t involve a new BoD(and not just a few that couldn’t hack it leaving) Edited September 23, 2022 by parsforlife 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s just me but I get a sense that they were very much taking the lead from those based in Scotland during those difficult times. I think that’s where I probably hold the older board more accountable for some of the decisions and communications coming out of the club. Anyways let’s leave last season in the bin where it should be, not to be spoken about again 😂 3 players minimum to take us to January to stay at the top for me.

Boston Red Sox Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 Get the feeling the ethos is buy cheap sell big (if there is any truth in the rumours round Mochries loan). Might work in Germany but we’ve shown previously there is money to be made by speculating to accumulate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
