I’m assuming the time taken will be worth it. I hope I'm wrong but I've a feeling the board is more concerned with appeasing supporters than attacking the mendacity of the media or the football authorities. I'm not holding my breath. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not holding my breath. I'd be less bothered about public statements if I felt the club was actually dealing with this issue behind closed doors (which is the way it should be done). However, I think the main concern we all have is that we don't believe the club is dealing with this in an effective manner. I've certainly seen nothing to suggest we are able to influence the relevant stakeholders. I get the impression that our approach is to focus on winning the league and that somehow it'll change when we are champions again. Some things will change when we are champions, but I doubt very much that the attitude towards us from the press (including the BBC) will ever change without taking serious action. Statements are merely to appease fans, but only legal action will achieve anything. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoohBear 1,074 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I don't think there is much point in another statement until they've spoken with the SFA. I guess we will find out more once that has happened. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a matter of trust and integrity between the club and its supporters. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoohBear 1,074 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 They did say there would be one, they didn't say it would be Monday or Tuesday. I'm just saying that presumably the reason they didn't put out a full statement is because it is worthwhile having the discussion with the SFA first, or at least investigating our options. I'm not sure what more they can say before doing that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a start they could expand upon and clarify their own position and state clearly what they believe is at the root of it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
