  1. mmm Quoting chairman "substantial losses made in year to May 22, measures in place for 22/23 and hope to break even, budget for 23/24 under way with a break even expectation, there will be player trading in January" Player trading ? - could mean anything - fringe players sold/loaned out, could mean likes of Dylan Reid sold or could even mean bid expected for one of our 1st teamers. Whichever, to achieve break even player(s) will be leaving. As for Mr Gilmour being quiet it was openly stated that he would be meeting SMFC reps next week to discuss/understand the current financial position. Until that meeting has been held what would you have expected him to say ?
  2. Decent guy he may be but, I still find it strange that smisa members are asked to confirm his appointment without knowing who the other candidates were.
  3. Result from Friday Club Academy Scotland U18 League Cormack Park Aberdeen 9 St Mirren 0 Yes there are problems at the academy and I have also heard that coaches are leaving. Worrying when you add that we are not entering the reserve league
  4. From Official site "Tony Fitzpatrick Family Stand season ticket holders can still move their seat to the Main or West Stand and will still be able to get them at the reduced price of £10 for adults and £5 for concessions if purchased before 2pm on Tuesday 21st December." Does this mean that season ticket holders must pay £10/5 for the privilege of being tossed out their seat and moving to an alternative stand ?
  5. And here is the real question. It would appear that SMFC are appointing companies that not only have Kibble connections but are family related. We don't know if the tender process was above board and fair but coincidences like this will invite legitimate questions.
  6. It looks like a whole raft of recent appointments throughout the club would appear to be Kibble associates/staff. Were these positions advertised or tendered for ? If as suspected the answer is no then we have our answer as to why Kibble are involved. Whether the appointments are good or bad for the club remains to be seen.
  7. mmmm - wrong as previously confirmed GLS shareholding with the Kibble proposal will be well under 1% under the original deal he would retain 8% therefore he will be selling over 7% more via the new proposal and to quote div many pages ago "he ain't giving them away" So yes he will gain from the proposal as apart from getting his cash early (and I have no real issue with that) he also gains by selling more shares
  8. How can it not be a benefit to get "his capital" returned early and in addition get a little extra on top
  9. So GLS gets cash for his minority 8% shareholding yet the remaining circa 20% of mainly supporter held shares get nothing. I have no agenda against GLS and have not yet decided which way to vote, just pointing out that GLS not only gets his cash earlier than planned but actually gets more.
  10. I've been part of a few boards where I didn't agree with a lot of a BP's content. Funnily enough the major shareholder had the final say and 27% of the shareholding certainly couldn't veto it !!
  11. Div - re the 8% shareholding By selling his shares to Kibble either GLS will actually be receiving more cash that he would be under the current proposal where he is left with the 8% OR He is receiving the same money in total therefore effectively either SMISA or Kibble are paying nothing for them, which begs the question of who gets the "free" shares ? .
  12. As a stakeholder with 27% and two directors on the board who will help to create that business plan and budget I don't really see much to worry about, no. Must say I'm with BEK on this one - the board produce a BP which the Kibble reps don't like they can veto it. That cannot be right and is completely unworkable
  13. I am also struggling to see the benefit of passing part of our expected shareholding to a 3rd party. From my attempts to understand the proposal the summary would be 1 GLS sells some shares early and receives cash early 2 Kibble get a shareholding that was not in original proposals 3 Final SMISA shareholding on completion of buy out will be reduced So how does the proposal benefit St Mirren or SMISA and what do Kibble really get for their cash ?
  14. Breadner definitely looks a player in the making and thought both full backs Grant and Walker played well. Interesting to see that last years centre mids were both playing in central defence. A bit disappointed with contribution from Oan D, doesn't look to me to be ready to take step up to top team.
  15. Eh ? Why do they give 15% discount at all times to saints season ticket holders if they "simply turn their back on Saints to suck up to the ugly sisters" .
  16. That was Max Potter - thought we played better 2nd half after Mackenzie went off, Liam Miller also played well so we have two promising young central defenders who if they progress may be worth looking out for in the future
  17. thanks Munoz, fame at last. great night at the darts in Brighton
  18. May well be ex rangers youth Lewis Muir who we signed in July. He was on the bench last Saturday due to Rogers being ineligible to play against parent club.
  19. A stroll for the reserves against what looked like Dundee Utd's under 20's. Hard to have a view on individual players as game was so one sided but for what it's worth : Captain Heaton won everything in the air, McPherson and O'Keefe tore them to shreds in 1st half with both goals for King coming from right wing crosses, Erhahon and McShane completely bossed the midfield, King looked comfortable on the ball. Cooke however whilst hard working missed 2 easy headers. Of the youngsters central defender Potter was the pick. Best for Utd was no 11 (Chalmers ?)
