First team regular

First team regular (8/14)

  1. Very good post for a change on this forum. It pretty much sums up all our fears that the club has not been run with due dilligence and it pains me to say it as i have friends on the board. In days gone by we had directors(all St Mirren fans) who had a very much hands on approach to their role at the club assisted by an exceptional CEO Brian Caldwell . They had their finger on the pulse ensuring we did not overspend our budget and no-one was ever given carte blanche to spend more than we had. Now is not the time though to go through the negatives as i never believe looking back is a good thing. I now trust our board (with Smisa board backing) with their plan to get us back on an even keel. Mistakes will always be made. Its how we learn from them that will define us going forward and if we all pull together as a fan base ie Smisa/supporters clubs etc we can get back on track. We are after all St Mirren fans. Equal and in it together.
  2. One of the other shareholders invited a Rangers contact in and showed him our books.The purpose was that if Rangers went down the tubes they would buy us and reinvent themselves in the top division.Obviously this did not happen as he was rumbled. You call the clique charlatans.JJM is a friend of mine and he will now know that a lot of the statements made in previous posts on this thread were indeed true.We all want the best for St Mirren at the end of the day and must work together towards financial stability and a great product on the park.That has to be balanced though in my opinion.
  3. I think John that we have fans who are rightly concerned that we have overspent.We have attracted players with international experience who do not come cheap and as such blew our budget out the water.Add the spiralling costs at Ralston, and yes its fair to say we are not in the best financial situation at the moment.Its how the board are reacting to this that will define us going forward.Income must be more than expenditure to overcome any deficit we are accruing. We should not think that all the supporters questioning the finances want us to fail or are mischievous but are indeed just concerned fans.St Mirren football club,next to family is the most important part of most of our lifes and i do not know of anyone who would want us to fail.
  4. My concerns were always turnover/treatment of staff,/having to pay out of court settlements for staff./season ticket chaos/Involving HMRC./Rangers and Celtic fans on our board,/Stewarding contracts/catering contracts/.As a season ticket holder,Smisa monthly contributor and sponsor i feel i have every right to ask questions and if that is construed as moaning then i am guilty as charged.I dont hide behind a keyboard.My name is Ian Brown Snr.
  5. They /he will not retract the statement and i,m told it was watered down as he wanted to say so much more.. I have not been asked to the meeting tomorrow but no surprise there as my relationship with the club is at an all time low but its funny how they were all my pals when getting Kyle to sign a contract extension.
  6. This one would be a belter if he can stay fit.
  7. I have never intended sitting on the committee of either the fans council or Smisa due to constant bickering and backbiting by people who claim to have the best interests of the club at heart.I often despair listening to members of both belittling each other and even worse the splits in their own camps.The position of board member puts you up there to be shot at and i applaud anyone who takes this position as they will be branded Gordons puppet from the outset.I do not think for a minute that the position can or will be Gordons decision overall but i,m sure he would not allow the appointment any old muppet.Thats why i,m not running.
  8. At the moment it feels like your glamorous girlfriend who gave you 11 beautiful children has left you and she has been substituted by an unglamorous girl with children who dont or cant do as they are told.I hope that their ipads are taken from them and they are exercised to full fitness and shown what it means to play at this level.Adding a few more siblings who they can actually learn from may bring us future joy and happiness. On a serious note we have always said we are in this together,St Mirren family etc.Alan and the players will get my full backing and i will judge them over the next few months.Its far to early to start swinging the meat cleaver.Come on you Saints.
  9. Obviously did not take too kindly to big Gary Macks Rangers tattoo.
  10. Hi Callum.£3192 was raised and i thank everyone for making it a great day.So proud of our club from fans to players.
  11. Macgennis.Is that the haggis munching guy who runs about Penilee. P.s you,re not as well informed as you like to think you are Stu.
  12. Josh has moved on from the drum and is now the megaphone man.
  13. It does as some clubs wait on players contracts running down and pounce for smaller transfer fees as the selling club would get nothing if said contract runs out.Kyle will command a bigger transfer fee and i know that there has been interest in him already.Hopefully there will be a bidding war when the time comes as more money to the club and more money to Kyle.Win win for me personally.
