    I thought given concerns they were invited but chose not to attend 

    Those running our club since I started supporting have always been “ enthusiastic amateurs” in my eyes, some better some less so.

    Anyone donating to the just giving page should have learned where to click the anonymous button and done so

    If you are a business owner would you rather have 'Enthusiastic amateurs' or tried and tested professionals?

    And glad you agree that the treasurer is another on SMISA that has shown a complete lack of judgement and professionalism.

    I know they didn’t turn up at the last two SMiSA Q and A’s but is the next AGM not their first opportunity 

    They being the K directors 

    I'm guessing because they are not SMISA members. SMISA have shown themselves to be a MICKEY MOUSE organisation. Supporters playing at running a football club. A Chiarman who should have resigned a treasurer who thought it a good idea to contribute to the Chairmans fine and a convenor who you wouldn't let go your messages let alone have a say in how a business is run....and everyone wondering why things aren't going very well?🤣

    Ffs.. always felt sorry for faraway as thought he had very little life outside this forum.

    You  (basil) have taken it to new levels..all Saturday night ( surely most normal people have better things to do on a Saturday) and almost since you opened your eyes on the Sunday post after post after post of repetitive pish! 
     

    Honestly, get yourself a life outside this forum. What you are doing is not healthy. I appreciate lockdown and covid has not been kind to us all but please……get a life 😁

    I genuinely wonder if all the off field issues have played a part in the dip in form on the pitch.

    In my current work, two service managers have just left in acrimonious circumstances, those that remain have to apply for their own jobs, there is a total lack of communication from senior management and there is a complete lack of direction. Sound familiar?

    The result is a demoralised workforce and usually competent people making stupid mistakes, and some people going missing in action.

    Currently, JG will have no real support above him, given JN is allegedly at war with Kibble, SMISA caught in the middle, and Tony being...well, Tony. All compounded by zero communication. While JG has made mistakes, most notably sticking to 3 at the back and his inability to find a goal scoring striker, but i think the main problems with our club are firmly at Board level.

    A ‘dip in form’? We have been hopeless all season.. we’ve won 3 league games.. livi, Ross county ( who are both absolutely honking) and were played off the park against Aberdeen and only won because they went down to ten men.. we have now gone EIGHT games without a win and play hibs, celtic and rangers next.. almost certainly no wins in ELEVEN by Boxing Day. 
     

    A shit show both on and off the park just now and fans being treated with absolute contempt by the amateurs of smisa and the board. Very very worrying!!!

    I posted it an hour ago. Did you post your sarcastic reply without reading my original post? Surely not. I've cut and paste the paragraph for you. Now, before I do, let me explain why I refer to "allegations". I do not want to be embroiled in the legal process and, in this digital age everyone's identity can be easily found no matter how ridiculous their pen name is. As a result, I refer to "allegations" and "lead to believe" but I assumed anyone reading it would easily work out why I used those terms. Here it is.

    This is a forum, not a court of law, Bazil so providing evidence is impossible but I'm lead to believe that there are enough well informed people contributing to this thread who have contacts within Smisa, within the board, from ex-directors and former employees who have been given the information by word of mouth and are confident that these allegations are true. This information is now circulating and you can choose to believe it or not (That's my disclaimer and from now on I'm simply going to refer to allegations)

    As I suspected.. absolutely nothing.. 

    If true though as a club we are going nowhere. A lame duck chairman and a board split down the middle. Needham doing the right thing would have avoided all this.

    For the sake of accuracy, I did not say that Kibble are trying to get out of the club. On the contrary it seems that they are attempting to gain more control.

    p.s. Do you really have to be so condescending i.e. "I’m open to someone providing something more substantial than ‘I heard a whisper’ ". There's really no need to be so disrespectful to someone who is simply trying to keep you and other fans informed. 

    Keeping people informed with rumour and hearsay and absolutely NO facts to back it up. Aye.. thanks..

    This was the original page set up to pay Needhams fine. Given he just wants the whole sorry episode to go away it's little wonder the page has now been shut down. Not before some idiots (including what looks like smisa treasurer) donated!!

    You would think as treasurer of SMISA you might have thought of getting in touch with the Chairman before making that decision.

    Mickey Mouse organisation. The thought of them having more power or say in how the club moves forward is absolutely frightening.

    Goodnight. 

    As opposed to Mr Optimistic's view, many Saints fans , season ticket holders and others couldn't give a hoot about his comments. 

    Long live John.

    He’s dead in the water.. as chairman of St Mirren he’s been charged with bringing the game into disrepute and since he’s apologised it’s difficult to see what his defence will be. It’s one thing hating the old firm and all they stand for. It’s another thing to be Chairman of our great club and do what he did. 
     

    The fact he’s still there says more about him than anyone else.  He’s not been seen since before the Rangers game. Embarrassing. Smisa and the board come out it as amateurs as well.

    I'm not saying he won't be sacked/stand down, but let's face it- nothing he said was really factually wrong. 

    You've got rival supporters of a club going out their way to highlight his terrible slanderous comments, when in actual fact the club that they follow is the antipathy all that's wrong with society. 

    Fukem.

     

    That doesn’t make his comments as a director of St Mirren right and you know it…you know and I know he won’t survive this.
