Up until now, I have not had the urge to post on this forum, although I have followed it for years.
I don't want to be ridiculed for my opinion.
I am a shareholder, a supporter through thick and thin, for almost 60 years, and have spent Thousands of pounds on following The Saints as well as taking advertising, sponsorship and other forms of support to the club.
So, therefore I dont talk lightly about MY club.
I have information, from within the club, that we are in severe financial difficulty, and could end up on the same administration route as the likes of Derby County!
This is not conjecture, but from someone who should know!
This is in part SMISA's fault as well as our chairman and the current board of directors.
SMISA's intentions were good and I bought into the concept initially, but after a few false promises withdrew my membership.
We are being called 'A fan owned club'. We are not!
Yes, SMISA own 51% shares but only have joint control with a charity who own 27% shares!
The charity also pay a general manager to run The Football Club on a daily basis.
How can this be allowed? she is surely biased towards her paymasters!
The Charity have self elected board members on our football club. Who and when were they elected?
Have any of these people supported St Mirren at any time in their lives? I doubt it!
Yet SMISA, who;s supporters have been spending their hard earned cash for years in the hope that they will one day own the club,
are sold down the river as they do not have control as promised.
The silence from SMISA id deafening!
We are informed that the AGM will take place by zoom. WHY?
Last year because of covid I could understand it, but we could have had a face to face AGM either indoors or outdoors at the stadium.
A real chance to clear the air, to answer questions direct, to build bridges!
Our questions have to be submitted in advance, so therefore can be 'selected' to be answered.
So if your question is selected, you have to accept the answer without the chance to ask a supplementary question.
This just stinks, and when (if) our club die, will any of the charity care? I doubt it!
i cannot emphasise enough what this means to me. and i am being let down by the people that I have trusted to have ;custody of my club!
Oh, I have never met 'animal' nor do I know who he is. But listen to him. He is hearing the same as me.........
I now await ridicule from Charity 'plants' on this Forum
