Mmmmmm....interesting

There’s quite a bit of speculation on various boards about it, although no definite information.

Looking at the pointers:

a) Stephen Thompson appearing to get funds in order in more haste than perhaps (!) the fans would have liked.

b) Thompson spending time in Oz ostensibly planning for emigration.

c) Recent lack of contact with the fans, where previously there had been a strong bond between the club and the supporters.

d) Stories of disharmony on the board regarding such matters as player transfers, this underlined by the joint statement from ArabTrust and the Fed.

e) Lack of noticeable forward planning on the part of management team for next season, raising conjecture that Jackie and pals are away after the next couple of matches.

f) Players displaying a “couldn’t give a fuck” series of performances.

g) John Bennett and Graham Deuchars being mooted as increasing interest in the club. Materially, via the GA Arena, Gordon Deuchars has become more involved.

h) Respected board member Derek Robertson departs. 

It certainly looks like change is coming.

A couple of folk on pie and bovril have been saying this for a week or so. Foreigners apparently.

Here's my take on things.

Thompson... Does not own the club therefore can not sell the club, furthermore due to this he could sell every single player on the books and he won't benefit, he's on a wage.
Bennett & Deuchars have both denied wanting to buy the club in the past six months.
Newcatle Jets... Deal is dead and buried, this will not happen, the club and Thompson have both said so.
Down under... If Thompson want to retire and settle up with his daughter then fair play to him, he's single handedly saved the club whilst remaining a good level of football on the park.
JMac and Co... On very thin ice... surely, likely still in a job because we can't afford to chuck him and who else woud we get?
The Celtic two... good business. 
The reason our season has gone from bad to worse... All these fucking rumours from the so called superfans and the fed.
The future of the club... If there has been fuck al said, that'll surey be because we are still moving in the same direction we have been for the past how ever many years.

Tin hat on here, but what have the Fed/ Trust achieved since their statement that couldn't have been equally achieved in the summer ?

Nothing except they ruined the trust between the club and the FED.

I love the blaming of the as you put it "superfans" and the fed 

LOL 

See i don't get the players feeling so put it tbh.

Almost all the fall-out of the past 3 months has been directed towards Thompson and McNamara.

Some players like Anier have got negative posts aimed at them on forums/social media etc...but that's the case for every club.

The 'abuse' and criticism they would recieve for playing poorly at either of the Old Firm would be amplified x10.

You are one of the worst. Nothing but shite out your mouth since Feb 1st.
You're a well knowing fan, and people seem to think you are more itk than you are. You keep bad mouthing the club and its owners. Use your reputation for something useful. 

The FED/trust shoud never have released that statement, the timing was fucking awful and put a nail in our season. 

are you for real?

brilliant just made my day

So you had nothing to do with the flag?
Only agenda here is you and Thompson. You quoted me btw. If I had an agenda I've had more than my fair share of posts to quote from your good self. Just think you and other fans should stop with the poisonous shit and just support the club. It's done no good for anyone. The Celtic deal is done, right or wrong its done, get over it, and support what we have. 
 

Correct nothing to do with me what so ever but if you or anyone else want to pin that on me fire on.

celtic deal done and dusted.. there is alot more than the celtic deal as has been posted on here and other messageboards from alot of concerned people.

ill support the players who go onto the park to play for us. I wont support the thompson or mcnamara any longer..

Fair dues on the flag.

Aye, this is my point, the so called superfans spreading shit over message boards. To my reckoning none have come true yet and even if they are proved to be true (although a few have been proved as shite) what good are they?

It's clear your views are respected so use them for the good, it's your choice to no longer support either, I stopped supporting JMac well before most, but just leave it at that.

Some fans are as much to blame for the feeling around the club as anyone else. I'm no pointing a finger directly at you but more using your behaviour online as a prime example.
