No I think you're on to something. Postcode check at the turnstiles, Kilmacolmers out.

Could be reading too much into it since he hasn't officially started yet but that seems a bit strange.

Was Davies not sitting with Murray at the game?

People need to understand the distinction between MCT and GMFC. MCT do not control the content of gmfc.net. Although it would be good to know who at the football club actually does. A fairly new MCT board are getting to grips with their responsibilities. It would be daft to say communication has been anything but an improvement with Russell taking that on. We have a functioning CRM for the first time. I think MCT should have taken a harder line against the club statement and emailed them to say so. I also understand that a certain level of discretion (or even diplomacy) is needed at times and the guys on the board will need to get used to working with each other and find the line. We've not long voted these board members in, and I think it's a shite move to blame them in the way your post does.

If he's resigned then he shouldn't be in a position to dictate how the club choose to announce it.

Yes, if there have been threats to Laird (and his family, strangely worded there) then it's a matter for the police and not as a parting shot to the support. It looks like a huffy attempt to drag the club down on his way out, and like others I'm angry about that. Both boards need to draw a line under this latest fiasco and sort out getting a manager in, identifying the best sponsorship for next season and filing the confirmation statement with HMRC before our shoddy governance hits us with more real world consequences. A lot of regrettable things happened under Laird's watch as chairman, although who is to say they were his fault (FIFA registration ban, Millen situation and board fallout on the final day of last season, staff lost and not replaced and the voice note saga - plus never being a club director in that time). It's clear he wasn't the right person to lead the club.

Staff are leaving the club and we're not able to replace them. The first team manager is just the most high profile of our vacancies. I'm not sure what's going on behind the scenes but it's clearly not very good. Hopefully we'll get the chairman and some of the board along to the upcoming MCT meeting to give us their view on where things are going wrong, because we've been told we got more money from the Dalrada sponsorship deal this season and none of it seems to have been spent outside the first team squad that I can see.

Ran out steam but it stops the rot. We deserved a draw.

Whatever the reason it's been hidden, they should have it back up minus whatever they're worried about, unless it is something Bonar had said which is the problem . Streisand effect will make it a bigger deal than it has to be.

Relegation will come this season if we persist with whatever this setup is. Can look at Celtic to see what happens when a poor manager gets hold of a capable squad and loses their confidence. This will be a disaster and we need to act now.

Davies out. Hire a manager. If Davies stays in post board out.

I am not bothered about what the job titles are. More interested in - Who is training the team midweek - Who picks the team and tactics - Who identifies and signs players I read from this that the 'coach' will report into Davies as head coach but it's not clear what the hierarchy or duties will be.

Mind the 3 year plan, prior to MCT coming in, that lasted about 2 months before getting pulled?

We need a new manager with his own assistant at the minimum and I worry that whoever gets the job will have to accept being lumped with Davies, and that is probably not an appealing prospect.

Imrie was something of an inspirational appointment in that he was a hero among the support, and we were already bottom of the league and in need of a lift. I'm sure when interviewed Imrie would have come over very earnestly in the importance of getting fans back on side and pulling together with the team again. McCabe doesn't have that prebuilt goodwill and not really a track record either. Maybe he'd be alright but it would be a big risk.
