1 standout from a lot of good performances today, Moult for me he was great today

owning and running pretty much the same thing in the context of a football club. If as you say the WS will be the owners with a board of experienced directors running the club, will that board be separate from or part of the WS board? If separate we then have effectively 2 committees each with differing priorities and agendas trying to run the club, how can that possibly be an effective business model?

I thought that eventually running the club was the fundamental goal of the WS or has their position changed recently ?

Great performance today a deserved win that should have been by a few more goals it was 3 going on 5 or 6 to be honest. Good solid debut start for Hall and Moult was brilliant his work rate is exceptional and scoring nice goals as well, he seems to be getting better each week.

The link still works, just read the 3 brief CV's and I have to say I was not overly impressed by any of them, the 2 people elected seem to have experience in sales and marketing, Optometry products and furniture, so no doubt wanting to run a football club would be the next logical career move. That said maybe the experience of sales and marketing will help to improve the image of the WS and the communication with the members as it seems to have been a bit of a shambles up till now, time will tell how effective they will be and if they manage to attract additional members.

Who are Maureen and Markus ? does anybody know anything about them or what experience and talents they are bringing to the WS board ?

Think you are spot on with the 2 week break Dave it will benefit nobody and you can guarantee Celtic will have a friendly arranged.

Finished 4-1 so no "Paul Lawson returns to haunt us stories" for people to get stressed about then. Any team with Rangers in the title must be pish it will be a routine stroll to the next round for us.

Yes part timers ie Albion Rovers have beaten us, when at the time McCall put out a badly prepared and shit team on that Dodgy plastic at NDP. This time we are at home with a better looking squad and if McGhee gets them prepared properly, this will be a routine victory, but no doubt the pant wetters will suffer sleepless nights until the job is done.

At Fir Park we will pump either of them, non league part timers FFS if they keep it to less than 3 or 4 they will have done well.

considering some of the utter dross we have had for keepers recently Hollis, Neilsen, and yes Twardzik (3rd choice at Dundee when McCall signed him) Ripley is a step up in class. Granted he is not a Ruddy or Randolph but he is miles better than what we had and if he goes back to Boro in January then we have Samson to step in, who is also better than Twardzik.

another performance like the Hearts game will be great we need to get some monentum going and get used to picking up points regularly again. Thistle had a good win last week but they are not that good we can win this one, 2-1 for the good guys.

If it was EK away pretty sure the game would be moved, the K park is too small

Pearson for me, had a great game in Midfield showed some of the fight and decent tackling we have been missing all season

After the shit I sat through in Dingwall last week that was a great game today, we actually looked threatening for a change, a win would have been perfect but on the balance of play a draw was a fair result. The only thing that worried me a bit was after Johnson went off the whole shape and balance of the team changed just to accommodate Ainsworth down the right, we pulled skippy back into midfield and went 1 up front, we sat back and let hearts come on to us.

Try to find and persuade some wealthy individual / consortium to invest in the club, that seems to be the way for most clubs.

All you get by punting 2 or 3 Arseholes from the squad and bringing in 1 more is a smaller wage bill, no improvement in quality.

The number of WS members has been quoted at around 1600 if that is correct its getting close to 50% of our average gate these days, the target seems to be 2000 members at least another 20% i cant see it happening we dont have the fan base.

Any excuse to get the phots out again..its like the England 1966 world cup win..zzzzzźzzzz

Might get some people in place now that actually know how to run the WS/club properly.

As Lobey Dosser mentioned in an earlier post if the club lives within its means then the WS might have a significant role to play, not to run the club on its own that has always been a non starter but to provide a bit of financial support as required. A club of our size will always need a wealthy owner/owners ie Hutchison, Boyle, Chapman etc

said it before if the u20 players are deemed ready for the step up then they will get their chance, maybe McGhee and the rest of the coaching team do not think they are ready?

Dont think its crisis time yet looking at the league table 2 or 3 wins and we could be in 5th place. But we have to get a bit of momentum going, McGhee inherited some crap but we have the basis of a squad capable of getting us up the table and away from the relegation fight. We need to get rid of some of the crap so the January window will be important if we get a few players in for key positions we will be ok

No..he is an obnoxious wee fud and apart from that he would be no improvement on what we have now.
