  1. And presumably how much interference from Cormack would concern him as well
  2. and 56 days since Robson was sacked, when any normal organisation would presumably have started to consider who his long term replacement should be
  3. and don't handle the ball in the box nor dive in for stupid tackles (are you listening Mr Devlin and Mr MacKenzie?)
  4. I could be wrong but I thought that when they sold the debentures, in true West of Scotland fashion, you had to buy debentures in the green or blue side of the stadium depending on who you supported. That means that there will be a bunch of sevco fans given first dibs on tickets in our section. Assuming they don't take up the option would the SFA really be daft enough to sell debetures to celtic fans in the middle of our fans?
  5. Surely even our slapstick FMB can find a manager before 1st August.
  6. As we come to the end of another week of mystery, suspense and intrigue at our beloved AFC I want to place on record my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to all contributors on this forum for keeping me fully informed on who will be our next manager, where would i get my ITK info if not from here so that I can keep ahead of the game. Since Monday you wonderful people have narrowed the shortlist down to the following so we are clearly closing in on our man Bjarte Aarsheim Derek Adams Igor Biscan Steve Clarke Ronny Delia Tony Docherty Darren Ferguson Urs Fischer Darren Fletcher Willo Flood Florence from the Magic Roundabout Mark Fotheringham Arne Friedrich John Hughes Fabian Hurzeler Paul Lambert Neil Lennon Peter Leven Ryan Lowe Malky MacKay Jacek Magiera Roberto di Matteo Derek McInnes Kevin Muscat Alex Neil Robbie Neilson Michael O'Neil Paul the Octopus Stephen Robinson Jack Ross Uwe Rossler Gerald Scheiblehner Zvonomir Soldo Heinz Somebody Zeljko Sopic Jimmy Thelin If I can ask you all to keep up the good work as you guys continue to narrow down the field
  7. Yes and that's 3,000 posts worth of time in my life I am never getting back you b'stards
  8. Yes, completely agree that showed how VAR was available but didn't interfere in every little decision. Keep it for "clear and obvious" only. It was very unlike Dallas on VAR - maybe he fell asleep?
  9. They were all new shares issued
  10. Completely agree. They are getting a competitive advantage by spending fuck all on the pitch/groundstaff so spending more on the team versus other teams who have spent money to fix their pitch e.g. Motherwell and so have less to spend on players. Some hefty fines might get Dundee to take some action and spend money on proper drainage.
  11. Somebody is signing Joe Lewis for £25M 😲
  12. I have to disagree as it brings St J and Motherwell into play and most importantly gets the no-win monkey off our back
  13. Cheers min and I will do my best but that will be largely dependent on what happens between 3 and 5 today, which brings us back to the main Cormack point, which is he alone is personally responsible for the clownshow shitfest that we are all having to endure
  14. I really don't want to sound as though I am defending Cormack as I hate what he has done to my club with his absolute incompetence and his egotistical arrogance, but let's at least acknowledge what are facts and what are myths. At the end of 2021 (roughly when the majority of the cash had been spent on the training ground), AFC had 49,511,552 shares of which Cormack himself owned 18,990,293. The vast majority of his shares were issued at 46p although some were at 75p and some were at 32p so in ball park numbers his small personal investment as you call it is around £9Million. As far as I can see, his fellow investors own 18,421,376 shares (I may not have picked up all of the smaller investors) so another £8-9Million (as an aside Crotty owns 7,542,834 of those 18.4M shares). Whilst some of the £17-£18Million will have been used for day to day spend, it is the case that Cormack funded about half of the training ground and his fellow investors the other half and it is a donation as he is never seeing any of that money again.
  15. Nah min, you're havering. In 19/20 alone Cormack/Crotty/Lee etc put in almost £10 Million by way of buying new shares and putting in loans (which were later converted to shares). I can't be bothered checking the other years but they plus Atlanta paid for pretty much the whole training facility - where else do you think the money came from? Don't get me wrong Cormack has got pretty much every footballing decision wrong in his time here and quite rightly is getting hounded for that but he did put up his own cash and persuaded others to do the same for the training ground (although he even fucked that up by not naming it after SAF or Teddy Scott) . It's just been a real disaster that he didn't just put in the cash and let others who actually know about football get on with running the club on a day to day basis.
