    kevo_smfc reacted to The Original 59er in Disgrace!   
    The ultimate irony was served up yesterday................ Cajoled, encouraged, pleaded with and encouraged to spend our well earned cash by Stuart Gilmour to make the effort to go and support the team in the hour of need in Motherwell.
    So we go, we watch in awe as one team wants to win it and the other goes through the motions of making up the numbers for 90 minutes.
    I say "irony" as it can't escape Mr Gilmour's attention that the state of the club, the team and the position we are in, are probably 90% down to the lack of vision, commitment, investment and direction from the top that is required by any organisation if the company / team / staff are to be encouraged to win, fight for their job, and succeed. Firm management with a goal in sight is what is needed in any organisation and we have lacked this for something like four to fiveyears.
    The BoD's have sought an exit ever since the Tesco deal, but they have found that the price they thought their time and investment was worth was not what others believed it was worth, so they have hung on to some long term hope that someone from somewhere will come out of the closet and pay them an amount that they think their share ownership entitles them to.
    There is a direct analogy with building a house. You can spend no end of money in making that house great looking, work perfectly and appear to be the perfect residency...................... but cost and value have little or no direct link. So you can spend £1m in building a house in say Greenock, but it might only be worth only £300k.
    That in effect is what the BoD's have, an asset that they think they have built that is worth X amount and the rest of the world believing it is probably worth at least 1/3rd of that amount.
    I had never thought that I would argue for change the way I now feel. There is a way to force the Board but I'm not yet inclined to push for that option, but unless they commit to a vision they will see less and less commitment from the fans and the players as time dwindles by.
    I'm very sad today..................... we're going down with a whimper and a distinct lack of direction

    My posts have been recent, and infrequent, however.....
    Just back from the 200 mile trip, collectively me and those who travelled have spent over a grand watching some of the poorest footballing exploits I have ever seen!
    In optimism and pure blind faith, I expected some sort of desire and fight from our team tonight.
    What I witnessed was, men against boys, organisation v's disorganisation, and a team who wanted to win, v's a who hoped to win!!
    We are relegated, and it happens to our team, we will get promoted again, however....
    How can the BOD seriously think fans won't get turned off? Without regurgitating everything that's been said on this forum.... Danny Lennon, TC, GT, selling KM, new signings not been played... Really what the fcuk is the deal with sanoupe??? Listening to the shite from cheesy about staying up this morning, only to get absolutely turned over by utter pish tonight!!??
    I don't personally think GT is to blame, he should have served an apprenticeship before taking the reigns.
    This summer has to be our genesis, new owners, new manager, clear out of the team, start a fcuking again, and get us something to be excited about.
    There is absolutely no reason why Inverness, RC, Hamilton, St Johnstone, killie, dundee, etc should be so far ahead of us.
    Our club is in the state its in because of shite management from top to bottom, and unless we want to go the way of airdrie, Dunfermline, raith, then the BOD NEED TO GO BIG OR GO HOME!!! We are a shambles, youth is not producing, 1st team are not producing, BOD are not producing! Yes they may have invested in the past, but they aren't now, and while they are cutting back on output, we're still expected to financially input, it's not on, start again, and we can all get excited about SMFC's future!!

    He's covering the cracks for the failure to sell the club January. Why feed us a story saying McLean left under a gents agreement and now that the shit has hit the fan, he was sold as we hit an iceberg.
    I'm not buying anything the board are saying. For christs sake, they told a room full of saints fans that TC was the man for the job, then a few weeks later he is given his jotters.

    We deserve this fate. That's not defeatist, it's the harsh reality.
    I resigned myself to it weeks ago. Doesn't mean I like it. Nor does it mean that I don't have my own clear view as to where culpability lies, but I've reconciled myself to the drop.
    What a shambles our club has become. Its a shame.

    Love the enthusiasm from some of you, what I want to know is, what is this magical thing that is going to happen this week which will see us start scoring goals, stringing 2 passes together outside our own half, winning the remainder of our games..
    Have I missed something? Are basher and yardley gonna pull on the stripes again for one last miracle?
    Can't wait to see this amazing escape!!

    As has been wrote many times , the board have made mistakes this season which will probably see us relegated.
    Personally I see them having saved the club for that will always be grateful and will never forget.
    The board tried to raise funds to help us stay at Love Street - Did the fans respond - No
    10,000 Hours was started up for fan ownership - did the fans respond - No not enough signed up
    The board has had the club up for sale for years now trying to hand over to safe hands - you cant force someone to buy a football club.
    If the board thinks its worth A and you think its worth B - Tough shit its worth what the owners think its worth not you.
    While I am frustrated and disappointed as the next fan I certainly appreciate the hard work and hours spent trying to run a club with a limited support and funds. If I won a hundred million never in a million years would I want to own a football club even one I love. Though I would hand over a donation.

    kevo_smfc reacted to Isle Of Bute Saint in As A Fan Does Relegation Mean That Much ?   
    Have been following St Mirren since 1967 so seen it all before.
    I wont be renewing my season ticket if we go down just choosing the games I want to see.
    A couple of Saturday's ago I went up to Glasgow for the afternoon with the wife. We had a drink in the Humming Bird before going to see a swing band in a pub. From there we went to a Tapas bar then got the ferry and train home.
    It was a great day out really enjoyed it. Meeting other couples in the bar and chatting. nipping into the public bar to check the coupon having a laugh with fellow guy's checking their coupons.
    The point I am making is that it was a better Saturday afternoon I have had in a long time and proved to me there is life away from football.
    However being a Buddie as long as I have will always have me coming back if only for the odd game.
    Personally I think it will take a good few years for Saints to bounce back it usually does going on past history. Plus we have a cautious board who will work the club within it's means. For the sake of the club I only hope the board take a good look at them selves and have a good rest over the close season and come back with some sort of enthusiasm which has sadly been missing for too long.

    I think we need to drop a level. I know their will be unfortunate casualties in terms of staff at the club, but lets admit it, surviving the drop every single season bar one is not a pretty site.
    Watching teams like hamilton, ross county st johnstone out punch us in terms of league finishing and form is not what i or any honest saints fan wants to put up with in terms of ambition.

    Killie's home v, away form is pretty similar to most of the rest of the league http://www.soccerstats.com/homeaway.asp?league=scotland so they aren't using that advantage very well if it is. Prefer to think we have a number of players with good technique and the surface might suit us. That's the theory rather than the stats right enough.
