i think begbie is talking sense here ,queens look to be heading in the wrong direction ,changes need made at board level .
Thomas Cook went under because it didn't move with the times. A bit like ourselves the last few years. Queens is a business. If the product is poor the customers disappear and the income drops with a knock on effect of less funds. Speculate to accumulate.
To a degree yes but you have to invest in business to move forwards. If the BOD are not willing to invest then it's time to move over. As I said further up, our budget is starting to make us look uncompetitive as this level.
The last 4 years have been pretty mixed:
A manager departing mid season for no reason (Skelton).
Two managers sacked ( Fowler & Naysmith) and the current one not doing great so far.
Off field scandal.
3 players choosing to leave mid season.
The Arena is pointless if it's not benefitting the team. That's what it's here for.
We have more generated income the club as ever had in its history! We should be seeing better on the park.
Spending got out of hand under a Davie Rae granted. We brought in players we just didn't even need. Happy balance between investment and over spending to rediculous levels.
I don't think anyone expects us to be "the best" but we currently suffer from a major lack of ambition. Even when we were part time in this division the target was always top 4. Nobody knows what it is now as it's a secret society.
Infectious lot the BOD, even the wee group of mouthpieces have stopped spouting pish.
Ever body knows this midfield is not good enough for this league, so what now's happens, do we blame the manager for bringing in these players, where are the on loan players, you could critazise Naysmith, and i was one of them, but his own loan players were good.
the thing is, most the queens fans dont see things happen until its far too late, then its 10 times harder to fix, i fear queens are going to end up like a stranraer or an annan or a montroes, it seems to me queens have a bunch of fans who see mediocrity as the norm and the board know this so theres no pressure on them to get there finger out,this is queens biggest downfall. i sometimes stand there in the terrace in disbelief seeing how easily most the queens fans take poor performances ,when im standing there effing and blinding every bad pass and wrong decision on the pitch,our board will never jump into action when our fans are so easily pleased. what is it going to take these days at palmy ,we are very very near as bad as the harkness days ,its only a matter of time i fear a relegation could spell further woes for queens,our board will then be in a position like falkirk are in, either get a good squad together and immediately get back up there which will cost ,or take a further backwards step by going part time and hope we can get the best part time players which will maybe see us go up and maybe have a few mid table seasons back in the championship,this im afriad is where i see some fans ambitions are ,totally unthinkable this scenario for me .
Jeez...…………….is there a stuck record?
