Cet Homme Charmant

Of course we'll never know the details, but most job offers have an acceptance deadline, so rather than chucking his toys out the pram it's also quite possible that he had no other option

I don't think that the issue with McAvoy is lack of communication, but the fact that it was suggested that he ran out of patience waiting on an offer from us to be approved. If we had made an offer and he went to Carlisle anyway because their offer was better, I don't think there would be any complaints. But if we have lost out because of the dithering of those who had to rubber stamp the offer, then that's not OK.

If true, you'd like to think that's the final straw for the clowns in the boardroom. But more likely, they'll just brass-neck it out like every other fuck up.

Aye, that's pish poor right enough. Mark and Andy both contributed far more to the club that Dale did, and deserve far more respect, thanks and acknowledgement than him. It would seem that absolutely nothing has been learned from the fiasco of the last couple of months, and that's not just disappointing, it's downright frustrating. Sad to say, but I have zero respect or trust for our chairman and board.

For some inexplicable reason, he wasn't popular with a section of our support. One of my earliest memories of being taken to Cappielow by my big brother (Tiger, RIP) when I'd be about 10, was him getting booed by some when his name was announced over the tannoy. I have no idea why, because even at that very tender age, I could see he was a class above most players on the pitch.

Fuck Scott Burns, it's only confirmed when John369 says it is

I stand corrected! Not too old to admit when I'm wrong, although it's an extremely rare event

Normally Tuesday night fixtures are only postponed games. I don't think they're ever scheduled?

Yeah I know, and I'm sure there must be a reason for that, but I just can't think what it can be. Especially when I assume it will come out eventually when the annual accounts are filed.

Good luck to the lad. Would be very interesting to know how much we got for him, I don't quite know why they need to keep that a secret.

Depends where it is in the Middle East. The chances that a team from one of the (relatively) major leagues in the region will be scouting an injury prone mid-table Scottish Championship keeper after one moderately successful season is pretty low, IMO.

The lack of information and communication on the above suggests absolutely nothing has been learned from the fiasco of the last couple of months. It's really pish poor and quite worrying.

MODS!!!!!

They'd better get cracking on then, if it's going to be completed before the start of the new season

I have to be honest and say that recent events have made me have serious doubts about the long-term viability of fan ownership for a club of our size, as IMO the recent clusterfuck has shown that many if not all of the members of both boards are quite simply not up to the job. I hope after we get past this mess that those fitting that description have the self-awareness and humility to admit that to themselves and step aside. But unless there are more able people ready and willing to step in to replace them, that in itself wouldn't necessarily make things any better. I'm certainly not writing off MCT and the concept of fan-ownership completely, it's also possible that we'll come through this with lessons learned all round and stronger as a result of it. Let's hope so.
