Mid Calder Saint

All quiet! As usual BOD remain hopeful of a miracle. Very surprised Craig remains at the helm. Totally wrong appointment.

TopCat. You may be correct in your assumption but should the present scenario/form continue then I would think that change would be made before the AGM which would take place Nov/Dec. I have read the excellent article by MS in the Sun today and he is spot on in my opinion. I want change NOW.

Ayrshire Saints. Your post is well put.Tommy however was involved in decisions during Danny's tenure and he has assembled this poor squad of players.The SPL is full of former Saints like Ssmson Carey Imrie McGinn McGowan Harkins and Magennis.I ask you are our new signings better than those? Craig is clearly not up to the job and seriously could a replacement be any worse.Get an experienced man in NOW with a proven track record for God's sake and least give us a chance before it is too late.

BuddieinEK. The TV cash is not paid per match but the pot is split amongst clubs I believe. Hence I can't quite work out the £300k shortfall as reported on Twitter.

I wasn't present at the meeting but apparently The Chairman stated that because of the absence of a certain three clubs from the top division we would be looking at a shortfall of around £300k. Well we knew Rangers would not be there anyway and that the away income from Dundee fans would cancel Hibs loss.That leaves Hearts and income from their support for two matches would have fetched around say £70k assuming an away support of say 1500.Therefore can't see where Mr Gilmour is coming from. I will stand corrected if I am wrong.

Anyone heard more after The Chairmans revelation that there are two interested parties and that they are requesting proof of funds prior to further talks.

Quite insulting to season ticket holders and shareholders like myself who are only genuinely concerned at our extremely poor start to the season.Moreover the poor management decisions and the standard of close signings allied to the failure to address weak positions in the playing squad.

Why don't you just phone him.

If the Chairman wasn't going I may have gone.

Two players available released by their clubs who could do a job for us. Firstly Lewis Toshney 22 year old central defender or right back an under 21 Scotland International prev on loan Killie from Celtic.Secondly Owain Tudor Jones 30 year old defender/midfielder released by Hibs ex ICT. Thoughts!

Its not so much not scoring. We quite simply can't defend.

pozbaird. Your comments are the most sensible to date. You are absolutely bang on mate and I bet The Board agree now.

Kendo. What you say may be ok up to a point but in my view this was the wrong appointment and I heard it was not unanimous.It may not be accurate however we should have invited applications and taken matters from there.

Drew. I also heard Danny say that on BBC Radio.Moreover Danny also said The Board wanted a fresh approach.Subsequently to appoint Tommy in my opinion was a ridiculous decision.

Any one of then can resign from The Board if that is their desire..Consequently retaining his/her shareholding and remain part of The Syndicate. What we urgently require is a freshness on The Board in my opinion.

Hamilton are 12 points ahead and barely attract 2000 spectators. So your argument is up the spout.

Ian. I wish I could share your optimism. I am of the firm opinion that TC was totally the wrong choice.To be a good manager you have to be s respected leader and he is not.Moreover i don't believe for a second he is up to scouting players.I consider our squad is weaker than last season.Yes we are not scoring but our defending is an utter shambles to say the least.Time for change is NOW.

I am watching match at Dens. McGowan is best man on the pitch closely followed by McGinn and ex Falkirk player Roberts. Oh yes the Paisley boy Mcdonald is also doing fine.

Well Brian is an international player who has also played for Motherwell Falkirk and Dundee Utd.Obviously must be rated I would assume.

Drew. Your assessment of the situation is absolutely spot on.

Why this man was appointed in the first place defies logic.Danny clearly stated on BBC Radio that Tommy was involved in every decision he made. The Board advised Danny that they were looking for a fresh approach. Within 48hours they appoint Tommy as Manager.What a shocking decision.

Would it be worthwhile bringing in Brian on a short term contract. He had done pre season with Coventry. We are just not covered at centre back. He is 29 over six foot tall. He had a fall out with Adams at Ross County. TC must act soon. We are losing really sloppy goals.

We didn't actually miss sitters today unlike last Saturday. We were ok in the first half and tried hard. But although this was not a great Utd side I have always felt they would score and so it proved. They were minus Gunning Robertson and Gsuld from last season and without regulars like Armstrong Dillon and Soutar. They were there for the taking. TC in his interview left much to be desired. Yes if you don't score you don't win matches but if you can defend well you can at least pick up a point. In my opinion our signings in general have been poor and we have still not addressed the problem areas. o have said along that TC was the wrong choice and we should recognise the error before it is too late.

According to STV news they could enter admin should their share issue fail yet they continue to pay plsyers ridiculous salaries and live beyond their means. McCoists press conference was a shambles. Rangers arrogance is unbelievable.

Other than Craig really does not realise or appreciate the problem areas in the side. I despair more than ever having listened to Danny on the radio this evening when the Board conveyed to him that we were seeking a fresh approach. In which they appointed TC as manager.
