think its fair to say the hibs CIC idea may not be universally accepted as a potential solution for St Mirren?

It's like the last 20 years simply didn't happen.
Either that or fans simply have a desire to re-learn painful lessons.

We have no rainy day fund either. That means that when crowds drop like in the last few weeks we make a loss that only a directors loan can cover.
Without an overdraft and without directors prepared to shore us up, the penny in penny out business model leaves us always at risk of immediate administration as we have no spare cash to pay players in that scenario.
Administration is ALWAYS a month by month risk for clubs like ours.
As for liquidation? That would depend on whether a viable business model could be rescued from the administration process.
It would be naive to assume this simply couldn't happen to us.

Worst case scenario is...
Liquidation?
Although highly undesirable there's a potential way back from that as a newco.
Best case is we survive & thrive.
Bring it on.

Same here. Got an ST as always, but missed the home Celtic game as I chose to watch the Ryder Cup on TV. Missed the Ross County and Partick home games due to being in London for the Dallas v Jacksonville and Detroit v Atlanta NFL games which were magnificent events. I used to hope things like those were on weekends when we were away, now I hope they clash with home games.
BoD taking us for mugs? Indeed. Been saying it for years now and was shot down and took a lot of flak, around the time of agreeing with another ex-forum regular's idea about a quiet 'scarlet and blue scarf wearing' protest idea. No point in raking that up again in depth, would do as much good as raking up a debate about the 10000hours bid. I have stopped posting about St Mirren on the forum too. Scunnered with them. Took me for a ride on a couple of issues that left a bitter taste in my mouth, and still can't even get two legends onto the HoF boards since inducting them in May 2013?
I'm out. Will rack up dutifully for remaining home league games due to the ST card in my wallet, but desperately hoping that Mrs Poz suggests shopping trips to Silverburn or Livingston to co-incide with home games.

if true - I would offer all this money to the board in return for a wholesale transfer of all their shares to a supporters trust.

Criteria for City of Culture means Paisley and the urban area fits.
The award went to Hull recently over Dundee as Hull needed it more.
This is one of the criteria too - Dundee had the best bid but was seen to be doing OK or going in the right direction.
Hull was awarded City of Culture Status as it was judged as requiring more support.
Think Paisley needs to recognise the problems that exist but also the amazing opportunities that lie within the town.
Get behind this - its can make a big difference to all our lives - we need to because the alternative is more of the same and I'm not settling for that.

A link here to the council site with some words:

If you feel like getting behind this then a minimum to consider is to be positive about the potential in this strategy.
Contact the council and tell them what you feel is wrong and could be done better and offer a solution.
What's your wish for Paisley?

One last post on this topic and then I'm done.
One way or another this reflects badly on the Board of Directors. Not because of the sacking of Danny Lennon and how they went about it - although that obviously leaves a bad taste in a number of peoples mouths - but because in all the years they've been at the club they have failed to recruit any managers who have been able to advance their careers. This highlights one of two things. Either the recruitment policy is seriously flawed and the boards ability to spot talent is seriously poor, or the managers they have recruited have been starved of support and undermined by those in the boardroom.
Compare St Mirrens record on managerial development to clubs like Inverness and St Johnstone and the deficit is very apparent.

our new African manager... Good luck Tommy

Will pass on your observation :-)
