  1. No place for Picard in the starting 11 ? Also, Armstrong and Aldrin never went into space
  2. Does supporting Partick Thistle count ?
  3. I suspect so too, but I'd like to see that confirmed
  4. This for me is still a key question that needs to be clarified. Not because I'm against TfE, I'm for it in principal and, for openness, I have made a modest pledge. My concern regards who owns the shares and who governs what is done with them. Is there anything to stop the current TfE custodians taking Colin Weirs shares and then selling to the highest bidder and trousering the money. I think it unlikely that this would happen, but perhaps 20 or 30 years from now, with a new generation of TfE management in place, who is there to stop them doing just that ?
  5. Is this info in the public domain ?
  6. Much better now and working on iPhone. Thanks admin !
  7. Intermittently and not on iphone
  8. If I was now to say "Oh yes they have !" this thread could go from ISIS to pantomime in less than a day
  9. You’re hurt ! No one ever agrees with me on anything
  10. I'm not sure who was in the running when McCall was appointed, but I would have been happy with Lennon (Danny, not the ginger whinger) or Ross or Miller. I do hope that Archie comes good again although he was struggling badly for a long time before he was sacked.
  11. No. Nothing to do with his performance as a manager. I'd be fighting a losing battle if I tried to argue it here, so I won't even try.
  12. Essentially this is what we had prior to the boardroom coupe. The operational board was the shareholders, who elected the board of directors. OK, so the shareholders probably got it wrong in appointing some members of the previous board, but the basic principal is the same.
  13. Sorry, still don't like McCall (not that I like Caldwell either)
  14. I think that is against the rules of this thread
  15. I’m sure that feelings are mutual and GRE would be given a life ban if TfE take over
  16. We do know his plan is to GIFT the shares to TfE. Once given they are not his to withdraw.
  17. He is gifting the shares. He can’t withdraw that as they are not his. He can withdraw the training complex and academy, but since we won’t have them without his support, we would be no worse off than we are now. He is not and afaik has never funded day to day running of PTFC
  18. I think it also important to point out that whatever we think is irrelevant. At the end of the day all that matters is whether enough of the current shareholders decide they want to sell to one side or the other, or even someone else. Whether that is for financial gain or for the good of Thistle (or both) is their decision
  19. The important point that many have failed to grasp is that this is not new money into PTFC. It is money to buy out the shareholders and the propco owners plus restoring finance to the academy and training ground. It is not £10m to suddenly spend on a new striker.
  20. You should be to ensure proper governance over those who make the operational decisions. Something that is possible if TfE get control, but not if there is a private buyer.
