Diamond Scot Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Lots has been said about how fans can bring about change. Would a petition to the government regarding the fit for purpose of the SFA and their use of public funds be an option? If so how could one be setup and distributed?

chris182 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 No probably not. Starving them out is the only way IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumnio Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Need a complete overhaul, top to bottom, but it won’t happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game is rotten and mismanaged from top to bottom. Anyone who thinks changing the manager, SFA president / board / chief exec is going to make a difference is deluded.

shunkyboy and the fluffer Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) The only way they will change is if they are financially forced too. The only people that can bring this about are those that repeatedly pay for this substandard product. Eventually we will figure it out.

I don't think a petition will change a thing, not my idea. Changing a manager will change nothing regardless of who it is. The whole system is bolloxed and I wont put any money into it until a solution presents itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaid Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 What about a march to Hampden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanticscot Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 A March to hampden to deliver a manifesto from the fans, which could be in the form of a petition is a great idea. Lots of people have spoken for years that the issues run deep. They may respond with the academy stuff(whatever that is) and say we are taking action and the fruit won't be visible for a number of years, so whatever the voice of the fans communicate, it needs to be comprehensive. You have a couple of thousand people marching to Hampden the media would notice. Any ex-professional sports personalities that could be willing to support it publicly would also help. No reason I would see this as pointless. So what are the things we want to see? Don't worry about the language being flowery. It may need a site to promote it and then us and other groups can help it go viral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager isn't getting the best out of the players though. I don't understand the logic. You think it's because somebody wears a blaser we're in this mess?

I just want a manager that gets the best out of the players. Sponsorship and who's munching hospitality I can take or leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanticscot Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I want change which is going to serve the development of Scottish Footballers from school boys to seniors for the foreseeable future and ensure the education of preferably Scottish coaching staff also.
