andy steel 0 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I didn't feel like he was treating me with contempt. When politicians go on the box and fail to answer hard questions they are treating the electorate with contempt and the only way one can thole it is if one happens to be a voter of this or that party. You can't have a project entitled 'Ready to Listen' and then ignore - whether you feel they have any legitimacy or not - the questions thousands (and it is easily in the thousands) of fans want to ask, just because they might be awkward. I mean, I'm at a loss. You can only view that session as a positive move if you are completely behind Mr Wallace and refuse to engage critically with anything he has said or done, saving the possibility of it being a first step. Not answering the question about bonuses and redundancies is not only contemptuous, it's cowardly; responding to questions about the scouting network yet again with no specifics - what was the point? He might as well not have bothered. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster. 4,824 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Yes they are but I read "negative coverage " as implying coverage in the media; in other words it wasn't so much the fact that Mr King and the UoF were saying what they were saying it was the wide coverage it was getting that was the issue. "in some quarters".............. is the phrase you want to examine. Put the shovel away BH 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I didn't expect anything and we didn't get anything. We need something more suitable. You do agree with that? He has made mistakes and it seems to me he is going to get criticised now whatever he does. I get a sense that he genuinely wants to turn our Club around despite the obvious constraints he has to work under. I agree that he needs to reach out to the wider fan base, since the survey should only 5% belonging to any group and how much wider does it get than Twitter? That said I would indeed like to see an open meeting but I suspect 20,000+ would want to go; however it would not be impossible to hold it in Ibrox with roving mikes; or the main hall at the SECC which takes around 11,000 I think. Whether you would get any different answers I'm not so sure. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that isn't the case, we have an idiot on 315K plus 100% bonus. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 You didn't with Mr.Green either. I was happy to accept (in answer to your questions on another thread) that I was taken in by Mr Green at first as were the vast majority of others yourself excluded apparently. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Not impressed at all. A Twitter Q&A is a quick way to portray an impression of fan engagement and appease the mobile/social media masses a little without actually engaging the fans properly, but it could never be regarded as a serious medium for proper engagement or any sort of meaningful and detailed debate. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I think the idea was good, but agree with others that the execution was poor. I don't think (from what I know of twitter) that it is the best platform to properly express the information that was required. I think a live, "controlled" debate/discussion is what is needed. A controlled environment is required so that the whole things doesn't descend into chaos - set a date & have fans submit question before hand (similar to Question Time on BBC). This still gives the board (or whoever) the chance to pick & choose the questions, but it would also give more opportunity for discussion and the proper expansion of answers. Hopefully it would also remove the chance of folk just shouting questions/accusations/abuse etc at random. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 why ????? In what way ??? That the Assembly which is funded BY the Club is part of an organisation who are asking fans to withhold ST money FROM the Club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
