Why would anyone trust SMiSA over this either? They told us that the Kibble deal was a good one for the club - now it seems that without being straightforward and open, they've leaked out that there are problems with the partner they thought was a perfect fit.
How can anyone forget that SMISA were the group that wanted to give the fans a voice on the board, then having gotten someone onto the board changed voting structures and constitutions to try to stop fans from getting their opinions heard. SMiSA interviewed and selected John Needham and told members he was their choice and they could only vote to accept it or not. Why did they not screen his Twitter account and why did they not tell him to delete the dodgy posts? And did no-one think that there might be a problem having a charity that rehabilitates convicted criminals do work at a venue where kids play and train and where all club staff need to be police checked? Why were SMISA and Gordon Scott so sold on getting Kibble involved and why should we believe now that it has all gone sour?
How do we know there isn't an agenda here? In the past I've had various St Mirren Supporter Groups "leak" me stories about things that were going on within the club. The pattern has long been established with certain groups within the club. Only months later did the real agenda come to the fore and it seldom had something to do with wanting the best for the club.
I have tried to do my research BTW, and all it turned up was the same vague rumours that are on these pages about supposed legal threats and stories about the KIbble board members not being St Mirren fans.
What I do know for a fact is that the club is a dysfunctional mess. That customer service within the club is virtually non existant, that fans enquiries go unanswered for months. That the SLOs appear to be frustrated in trying to get answers for fans who have contacted them. Whoever and whatever is responsible I just wish they'd cut the drama and get a f**king grip!
