Right now its Goram for me but if McGregor helped get us to a EL final or something, and a couple of league wins before hanging up his gloves, I'd maybe lean toward Shagger.

Separate Entity FC Plan About To Come To Fruition?
stewarty replied to ian1964's topic in General Football Chat
As has been pointed out, the issue here isn't about whether they were allowed to go, albeit there are questions about who and why the trip was sanctioned; but whether they followed the rules during the trip. We have all seen the photographs which clearly show that there are questions about the setup and whether all relevant protocols were followed. If they were not, the same rules which led to Killie/ St Mirren being punished have to be applied. Although like others, I suspect we shall see something of a damascene conversion by the SFA/SPFL and nobody will end up punished this time, with fresh rules drawn up in the interests of "fairness". -
Club 1872 funding | Club 1872 purchase more shares

Indeed. I was merely speculating. In any case, I say react to King’s words merely because that’s what happened and they contradicted him. It was odd that King felt able to project a Board opinion despite no longer being on it. Someone is being economical with the truth and someone also was selling something. I’m sure more information will come out on this eventually. -

Yea. I think it was a reaction from the club to correct what at best was a misleading answer from King and I suspect he knew he hadn’t asked the club’s stance -

For periods, yes we had them hemmed in. But we didn’t take advantage of the extra man and missed the pen so was a lot less comfortable than it should have been -

A poor choice of words. I was meaning that they ripped the rug from under the c1872 interviews where there was an indication from King where he said there wouldn’t be further share issues that c1872 could acquire further holding directly, and why they should buy from him -

That’ll do. Scrappy. Not our best. But 3 points and alfy back on it, is a good days work at our second hardest away ground. -

Unsurprisingly they seem to be swerving the fact that Celtic players are squad have questions to answer in terms of whether they followed the proper protocols when they were there. -
@FrankieDo we need to use a specific link to sign up, or is there some sort of sign-up code to use so that GN gets credit?

Agree that didn't seem to make much sense and the decision making should be more transparent. Again though, clearer communication/updates would be helpful. -

Some observations on what I think *could* be occurring: 1) DK wants to sell his holding to the fans to protect his legacy having saved the club. His family appear not to be interested and that could potentially lead to them selling to non-fans when he is no longer around. Such investment is likely to be viewed as an opportunity to derive a return, which may or may not align to the interests of the support and thus may have a detrimental impact on his legacy. 2) C8172 are offered the chance to buy DK's shares but have knocked back the chance to take part in share issues in the last year or so, probably due to lack of significant cash reserves from donating members. Having seen the chance to acquire such a large shareholding which clearly aligns to one of the CIC's generally accepted aims/purpose, they hatch a scheme to tie in a commitment from DK to secure the shares, but also need to buy some time to promote the legacy scheme in order to drive new members and donations to fund it. The club however changed the goalposts at the AGM and subsequently afterwards, which has pulled the rug from C1872 and DK. They have then re-negotiated to maintain the commitment to acquire DK's shares, but allow them to participate directly in share issues over the coming months using the new legacy income and other donations as funding. As part of this negotiation, DK has sought a commitment from C1872 that they still are intent on acquiring his shares and this has led to the first £250k purchase announced this week. *If* this is indeed what is happening, I'm sure that it could be explained reasonably to members and would be accepted. However, my call for better and more transparent governance of C1872 remain. Until then, whispers and innuendo about the motives of the Board and associated helpers will continue to drive a wedge between C1872 and the wider support. The bottom line is that as a founding member and participant in the legacy scheme, I shouldn't have to be reading between the lines like this. We deserve better. -

That’s a very offensive looking team. Swap Hagi or Kent for Aribo and I think it’s spot on. -

I wasn't overly enamoured by it initially but seeing it in action I thought the retro strip looked great.

Europa League 2020/21 Round of 32 Draw: Royal Antwerp v RANGERS

Antwerp sitting 7th on the same points as Standard Liege in the Jupiler League, so probably fair to assume they're of a similar level. -
That information isn't contained in the filing. We will need to hear from the club

Let me guess, at 20p each? Edit: it is at 20p each. Thats the fourth allotment of shares in 2 months

It looks to me like we have challenged him to develop his game and he has adapted reasonably well, just that he hasn't found the goal touch. Some of his performances in the EL have particularly been good, but he's lost a bit of confidence and the luck you can carry when you are playing well. I also think he's the kind of player who thrives on being the focal point of a team. He carried us for large parts of the past couple of seasons but this season particularly we have made a step change in terms of the overall quality and depth of the squad, to the point where the manager simply has more options and he isnt as critical to our ability to win games.
