And all this upheaval on the day the nation wakes up to, and tries to reason Philip Schofield coming out as gay... Next thing they'll be saying OJ was guilty!

Who?

If bits start coming off buildings, public transport and the game will likely get pulled.

Yip just the subs back please, keep your balls!

And we'll be driving it every weekend!

That's reasonable.

So why come on here yesterday with your best Bazil impersonation and state that I hate smfc?You've got a weird way of demonstrating free speech. See me, I haven't slated one poster who had argued the case for the proposal, or if they'll vote for it. I might not agree, but I respect their choices. That's the truth, not all this big bad saints hating LPM guff. Are you Bazil? P.s... where have I slated Kibble? The truth is quite the opposite.

So you couldnt make the meeting, and are on here during games. Lol

Really, all I have heard re Kibble is vague promises of expertise. Not a figure or number discussed.

How come they've got a £30 million turnover then? Unless you mean they aren't going to charge for being on the board and talking? I guess they might give that as a freebie. Lol

No that's just what Div wants you to think.

Honest question for anyone/everyone. If A.N. Other came along with a counter proposal to lend smisa the funds now to buy Scott's shares. And that they would undertake to invest in building the club's community trust to advantage all in the local community. And invest in the playing/infrastructure of the club. And in return would want to be chairman for say five year period then subject to vote if still keen. How do you think you would vote? And the above proposal ensured a smisa board majority.

Ahh it's a done deal then?

Ha, ha ha... good one! That mean they see smfc as a charity case? Everything Kibble do is paid for!

I got involved basically to use my experience, knowledge and expertise to build smisa and the club. I had misgivings about the real endgame of those involved, but thought it better to tackle that from the inside. I accepted there was no perfect deal in my or everyone's eyes. To be sat down with lifelong saints fans who just wanted assurance their subscription would be ringfenced to buy 71% of the club they loved, then for them to allow me to set up their direct debit online was a privilege. Now I feel for my part I have let them down, what was promised to them quickly started to dissolve, and it felt wrong. Kibble are a good organisation, but they simply dont want the same things we want, therefore conflict is inevitable, and will harm both parties.

Smisa & Scott were clear we had what it takes, and were, I quote "the only show in town"... That was until got the chance to flog £300k worth of shares and still be chairman of course. Lol

The funniest, but most sinister element in a this is the PR job that suggests Kibble (who are spending £300k on virtually worthless shares in a football club) are only doing this for the community! Surely sinking £300k into a few community enterprises would be more appropriate if you aren't seeking to benefit financially? Lol

Aye, but... decisions thus far decided over by such a poor representation have included " Hand dryers, Matchballs etc" and once when the vote included a community option, our chairman (Mr Community) flipped his feckin biscuit. Dear me Kombibuddie for his sins was told he needed 75% of members to approve an option on the quarterly £2 vote. Regardless of how anyone votes, the outcome, or opinions held surely most can see this is a loaded vote? And unfortunately those who vote against, if they lose out will likely end their participation in smisa.

Then why the hell did Smisa, Scott etc insist that the only way to secure the club's future was to back their deal to take on 71% of the club? I dont know if they've considered, or even care of the inevitable consequence, should this sham be voted through of the majority of those voting against, then deciding to end their membership of Smisa as its changed materially from the fan ownership they were sold? Mind you they are probably quite sanguine about that.

Agree, 351 votes could see the club sold before the fans ever got there.

I guess? Potentially less than a tenth of the home support could sell the club?

Not a smisa member bud. Although it's more than concerning that a vote by potentially as few as 700 people will decide if over a quarter of the club is sold off to an outside body.

So selling 27.5% of the club to an outside body is not as we were all warned against and persuaded to BtB... is apparently NOT selling the club off to an outside body. Glad that's been cleared up for us fans who, we were told are the best people to secure the club's future... only to be told, we are in fact the Worse people to be let near the club. Apparently the only people who are capable of running the club are Scott, and a UK charity. Now that's been cleared up, can us, not to be trusted people, all have our money back please? If you never needed us in the first place, presumably you never needed our cash either?
