If La La Land is in West Lothian then maybe that's true. He has several points ; - Board communication with fans is horrendous. - Serveral areas of the club have been neglected for too long ; ticketing, catering, disabled access, pricing, MyGers, customer service etc. - we were told that money fr9m players sales would be reinvested in the squad. This hasn't happened. - Gio said on Tuesday that there was "no money in bank", yet UEFA deposited £14M into out bank the previous Friday. And that's not taking into consideration of the money from players sales, EL run and record season ticket sales. The board staying silent doesn't help it hinders.

They maybe partially or completely wrong but when the board don't communicate than its easy to "jump to the wrong conclusion". Communication is key - radio or dignified silence was David Murrays tactic and so was sending the "stromtroopers" to have a word with those pesky desenters. The current board haven't lowered themselves to that level, but remaining silent isn't the best course of action. Didn't we hire a PR guru? What's he up to? Certainly not public relations that's for sure.

I believe King is trying to be a thorn in the boards side so they'll buy his shares to get rid of him. However, he has raised legitimate questions and concerns. Don't think the board can continue to ignore him or the wider fan base.

We kinda have - RSA, Sons of Struth, sections of fan media and now King have all spoken out publicly recently. Last night saw the current boards supporters - other sections of fan media and owner of Rangers pub jumping to boards defence and trying to demonise King and those who question the board. It's a shitshow.

It was always going to be played out in public as the current board refuse to communicate with anyone. There are obvious faults on both sides and as Frankie said in his article yesterday, it's causing fans to "chose sides" which is also counterproductive for us but plays into the boards hands. Timing is awful.

The soap-opra has recommenced and another 'split' in the fan base is inevitable. Some will back the current regime, some will back King and others will just sit back, grab a packet of popcorn and watch how this pans out. For the record i am critical of the current board but dont believe King is the right person to take us foreard either. He does but he is not wrong in anything that he says in his open letter.

I understand that the next statement / open letter may be from a certain Paul Murray (content unkown).

Maybe he's tried to talk to the board and they won't entertain him. I believe King and Park Jnr are not on speaking terms. The timing definitely sucks and you are 100% correct, something does stink (and has for a while). King will get as many answers as we get, but at least (as largest shareholder IIRC) he's highlighting and asking the permanent questions.

I believe the original graph was wages not transfer fees.

To be fair, our Youth Team were very unlucky to lose 2-1 to Ajax. Hit woodwork 4 times including once from the penalty spot. To use the current buzz word, they certainly competed.

We've got him on a 5 year contract, it shows we think he is a sound investment and a successor to Borna. May be that we would have preferred to buy him in January or next summer buy has to buy him now to ensure we got him. Gives us time to bleed him into the team rather than throwing him in the beep end.

We could actually compete in and lose the next 5 games. Competing and winning don't go hand in hand. Competing is the least we should expect - anything else is a bonus.

Is Jack in the team enough to be made Captian? The only players we have who play constantly are Tav, Goldson, Lundstrum and Kent. Jack is injury prone so I'd rule him out, maybe Lundstrum as a change. Old school thinking but we really should have 11 captions out there..

Possibly, but their lack of communication or defence of the fans could be seen as "not caring". As someone who detested SDM, I don't compare this board to SDM lightly, but hold them in the same contempt (even if they have credit in bank for help getting the club away from the spivs). As said previously they are not my choice as a board who can take us forward but unless something miraculous happens, we're stuck with them.

And I'm OK with folks thinking that, football is all about opinions and different expectations. However, and I may be 100% wrong but the current board are SDM-esque in everything they don't say and do, but that's my opinion.

Yip 100%. I've never felt so detached from the club since the toxic Murray days.

Yeah, I set a limit of £150 for the 3 game CL package and luckily (or not) that's what my tickets cost. That's expensive IMO and people will say, ah but it's the Champions League. We are already pricing ordinary, hard working and loyal fans out. Some will say if you wanna see the games, you gotta pay the price, but a little common sense has to come it the equation. Don't think you'll be only fan thinking that way to be honest

Nah, points over performance every time I'm afraid

The new ticketing system including MyGers is a scam. There was nothing wrong with the old travel club or the ballots for away games. I stopped going to away games when we got back to SPFL as a token gesture and have refused to join MyGers. Over last few season I've started going back to away games to help the RSC when they are struggling to move tickets (Livi, Dundee, St Johnstone etc). I may get lambasted again but there is so much wrong with OUR club at the moment and this was getting "masked" due to run to Europa League Final. Now this scabs are being picked and are developing into open sores. Just don't expect engagement from the powers that be. Pay up and shut up.....

Like they did last season? And remember last seasons European adventure started with defeats to Malmo....

Time to unleash madman Morelos.....

Some perspective, Frankfurt 3 - 0 at home to Sporting.
