If only But, point taken, I have become overly emotionally invested in this! Just angry about how the wee man was treated And angry with myself that I briefly helped TFE and it has ended like this im going to liquidate all that emotional investment and go get a life!

blakey Posted November 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Jeez...I started this thread and am now completely lost. Some of the last few posts have bamboozled me. Fwitw- I am just a thistle fan. i became a bit concerned when I saw some of the feedback that said ‘oh no - colin is back so here comes jacqui’. some folk on here seem to think they know what makes for a good chair or boardroom member. Some of the negativity to jacqui might not be bourne out of sexism, but I think it was ott. There was always the suggestion that she did not know what she was doing. My own opinion is that some of that was based on sexism. good luck to the interim board. I hope they unite a fragmented and challenging fan base.

Kingleo Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 What do you think she did well in her tenure Blakey? Can you think of anything that made you think “ she knows what she’s up to”. I certainly can’t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that's what you should do - if they deign to answer you will have your answer and you can decide if I am throwing muck or not. OK? And I look forward to the apology when you conclude you are wrong, thanks The club isn’t fan owned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know she presided over the club as we went into a tailspin. She was also instrumental in appointing GC. She also admitted to doing some poor comms over that period but...I think the level of negaitivity towards her is OTT. Is any of this chauvinistic? For example - why is the same level of concern not raised to Gerry B? He has presided over the club for a similar/longer period. I have no axe to grind with Gerry. BTW - I am not Jacqui or her family...have met her once. She and Gerry Britton appointed Caldwell she gets blamed but it’s nit because she’s a woman say 45 men 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you think of anything that made you think “ she knows what she’s up to”. I certainly can’t I think she can take credit for some of the social inclusion activities for fan groups including proud jags and making family and female supporters more welcome. she did set her stall out for improved communication and access to board members and management. Events took over and I think that she did less well than hoped here. i do agree that the appointment of gc has tarnished her reputation. I just don’t like the tone of some of the comments I’ve seen - as if she is wholly accountable for all the bad stuff. If she has helped build a bridge between thistle and colin to take us where we are now - I think that is a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Jag Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 I don't think many if any would want Caldwell back. This has nothing to do with his gender, but that his performance as manager was very poor. I would suggest that this is the same with any job at our club. They do well if they left in a good manner and came back they would be welcomed. They did poor and left i don't think they would be welcomed back.
