That actually sends a shiver down my spine reading it . Not allowed to speak ?? Jesus Christ .
I wonder if we could put our proposal forward again after we clinch the league?
This is what we should do. Celebrate winning 55, give it a couple of weeks then put forward our proposals. Do it from a winning position and show clubs that we want people running our game who look after the interests of EVERY club.I wonder if we could put our proposal forward again after we clinch the league?
I missed that as I had vision of Liewells placemen, with the Mute Button on.maybe people should read the full thread before replying, it clearly says that they voted with us in bold at the bottom of the statement
I take it back thenWrong.
If you mean Stenhousemuir deserve what they get your wrong mate. Stenhousemuir stood with us on the vote 100%deserve you what get you
Rearrange the above phrase etc. etc.
One swallow does not a summer make. All through our troubles they were voting against us. All through the battles we had we stood alone. One vote doesn't change anything they were happy to put the boot in and were complicit in creating the mess we now have.Did nobody read the op's full post. Yet, some come out with the predictable reap what you sew replies.
He has/had a PR company which I believe did work for them.Is it true that Iain McMenemy is also a spokesperson for the Loyal Orange Order? mentally challengeds seem to have a bee in their bonnet about him.
Glamour friendlies mateWhy aren’t more clubs speaking out?
Think they are one of the (few) good guys?deserve you what get you

Thought they might have learned from the Falkirk thread before diving in & making an arse of it but apparently notNo point mate...too many on here just want to regurgitate the same old pish without being interested in the facts.
The close season is the time to strike, use the intervening period to garner support.No idea about the mechanisms , but someone should raise a vote of no confidence. There's no doubt the outcome would be different now, Doncaster, McKenzie, and McLennan are all dead men walking.
He spoke very well on Talking Football, on Tuesday night .CHAIRMAN’S UPDATE
Unfortunately this update is with regards to a new shutdown for our football club
As most will be aware, all football below the Scottish Championship level has been suspended by the Scottish FA Joint Response Group (JRG). This includes the Stenhousemuir men’s first team and all other teams within the structures that flow underneath. The younger age groups in our community programme are still able to train, and the club will remain in contact with parents to make them aware of any changing arrangements.
News of the suspension is disappointing. There is no evidence to suggest that football clubs are responsible for spreading the virus between clubs or into other communities. The positive test rate amongst players has been no greater than the rest of society. If there was evidence to suggest that football clubs were a source of wider virus spread then of course action would need to be taken, but there isn’t.
Whilst this decision is disappointing, we will do all we can to keep the players ready for a resumption of football when we are allowed to do so once again. The suspension places further strain on our club, will limit the ability of our staff to carry out their duties, and it has significant potential to interrupt our ability to do business in the transfer window.
As many people will have heard, we found out about the suspension from the Scottish FA/SPFL when we were sent a copy of a press release addressed to the media. There had been no consultation with clubs, no warning and no support offered. We find this deeply disappointing.
As has also now been widely reported, there was a scheduled SPFL General Meeting of Members held on Wednesday 13th January where clubs expected to be able to discuss this critical development. To clarify the timeline, this meeting was just 48 hours after the decision to suspend clubs was announced in the media. I am bitterly disappointed to confirm the reports in the press that the SPFL refused to allow any discussion between clubs on this topic, and any other issues in that meeting. Club representatives had their microphones muted and the only communication accepted was where clubs could email questions to the secretary, who would in turn email them to the Chairman and he would read them out. At no point were clubs allowed to speak. I made a number of requests to speak, and they were all refused.
So faced with the news of this imposed suspension of football, our own league body refused clubs the opportunity to discuss this at our own Members General Meeting. For the record, we have been represented at every league meeting held, and this censured format has never been used before. I very much doubt that I need to say much more on this as many football club supporters will be outraged at hearing this, but sadly not surprised. Fans own our game, they are the biggest stakeholders in our clubs. Silencing the club voices who are in place to represent fans, in arguably the worst crisis Scottish football has faced, is an affront to supporters everywhere.
We will continue to raise concerns on this matter, just as we will do everything in our control to work towards getting our game back. Football fans deserve better than this from our league bodies – change is needed, reform must be put on the agenda at some point soon. We will campaign for change and we hope that other clubs and supporter groups will too.

For those who want a wee vent/rant - Stenhousemuir backed our calls for an independent inquiry last season.
But they didn’t vote for it.Well you get the governance you vote for.

My point is, if you want change we have to work with them.One swallow does not a summer make. All through our troubles they were voting against us. All through the battles we had we stood alone. One vote doesn't change anything they were happy to put the boot in and were complicit in creating the mess we now have.
So sorry if cant feel sympathy. They were happy for us to lose the club we love. OK they are changing tune now but haven't exactly campaigned for change.
.deserve you what get you
Rearrange the above phrase etc. etc.
Forgetting all the other noise for a moment, it’s an absolutely outrageous way to run any sort of meeting. This is a multimillion pound national business and yet these cunts are getting away with treating it like the local boolin’ club.
FFS, surely time for a no confidence vote.
Did they not ignore our claims for an indipendant inquiry last year?Why do they deserve it?
Thot they voted against the indipendant inquiry that we were offering to pay for last year.Think they are one of the (few) good guys?
That’s exactly what it is, some could be doing with checking the facts and engaging brain before posting shiteNo point mate...too many on here just want to regurgitate the same old pish without being interested in the facts.
Did they. I had better edit my rant then. Cheers for the info. I thot they voted against having an independent inquiry.
Two-footed tackle mate. Red card.You had your chance last year but you sucked Lawwell's boaby.
Although I do hope someone at Ibrox is noting these and making contact

I think a sticky would be a good idea, it would save a lot of people incorrectly getting their knickers in a twist all the time.Two-footed tackle mate. Red card.
Folk really do need to take the time to research who backed us last time. A total of 13 other clubs I believe, of whom Stennie were one.
This should work. Click on the top link.Strange one, they've lower cased Rangers which killed the link
Not quite yet. The ones who were unhappy before are still unhappy. We want a turnaround in the opinions of the others.Looking like death by a thousand cuts for management of SPFL / SFA
