Serious question

I think he can do nothing right for some people who criticise his actions. I don't disagree with some of the criticism but as we see what happens on this Forum, and others, criticism can become personal and it looks, sometimes, as though banter and just plain rudeness is the end result.
If you are in a hole, stop digging, seems to me to describe his attitude. I know that is not anywhere near your perception of his behaviour, but it's my thoughts about his communication and fan engagement.

What communication and fan engagement?

Sending out a message that he'll hunt down and ban any Dundee fan responsible for throwing a paper cup at Scott Bain whilst saying zip about hundreds of balls being lobbed onto the park by Celtic fans or enough pyros being set of by fans of The The Rangers to nearly get a game abandoned isn't good communication and fan engagement. In my opinion it's finger pointing and a clear demonstration of disdain for his customer base.

In reply to the OP by RRoS - I think he hates that most fans have sussed him and are no longer buying his bullsh1t.

I was at Falkirk on Saturday, but didn't see the incident, having left after their second goal. Anyone throwing a bottle should be banned without question. Bain's antics after they score , actually rolling about on the ground as if having some kind of spasmodic attack was pathetic. He is foolish to behave in such a way and Falkirk want to be having a word with him.

The criticism heaped on John Nelms, not the personal stuff, but the rest is very well justified though. His performance in running our football club, as evidenced by the disastrous close season, coupled with the 'development' nonsense after the uproar following Pressley's appointment, the decimation of last season's squad and manager because we 'didn't do well enough', yet here we are, worse than ever, perhaps justifying the fans uproar. Then there was the shocking maintenance of our pitch, email-gate, selling our best player on two occasions to Celtic and by timing, denying our manager time to replace them adequately from the transfer manager. Downright incompetence, wasting what has been very decent investment by the Keyes family. Our crowds are dropping. Our ticket prices are stupidly high. The man should be sacked. He has ruined our (what was) status within Scottish football. I suspect that he would be quite happy in the championship. Lower wage bill. More wins.

Football fans hurl abuse and objects at an ex Dee?then get out their pram when he gives it back.
