Hugh Keveans (sorry for spelling) on Radio Clyde phone in.....................
Stated that the Scottish News Media were asked to come to a press conference (by SPL) this afternoon and was told what would happen if R****** went into Liquidation................
If this was to happen the "Phoenix" that comes out would need to apply to the SFA and then to SPL, At this point SPL board would then meet to look at application.
And here is the funny bit........... Jim Delahunt has got SPL rule book and I think he quoted Rule 5H
That states any club falling into Liquidation would have its result null and void and be removed from the League, no relegation from league and a second team from SFL would join the league.
Hugh's reply was amazing and I never thought I would hear it " it looks like we have a rule book for R***** and one for everybody else" "And it seeems that the rule book has been changed"
This is totally amazing that SPL have already made their mind up.

Sorry if this has been seen before, how long will it be????

David Weir on loan til end of season would be a decent shout. If Ryan Stevenson becomes a free agent then surely worth making enquiries about as would add a cutting edge to our side.

wont it need the CIC to be in place before this can go ahead. This is a company joining the CIC and doing the job, so I would assume that the Saints board will no sanction this.

Agree Poz.
Quite simply when referring too R****** call them the team from Glasgow, dont call players names again simply the other teams number 1 makes a save, the number 14 passes to the number 8 etc. Cut all footage and only show their goals. Cut out celebrations etc
The in depth analysis nothing about them, studio guest looks at their opponents.
Do this right over all media TV, Radio & Newspapers.
We will soon see who backs down first. It will give some of the other teams more coverage and deserved publicity.

I quite enjoy reading the latest twitter feeds, but this newcomer is ruining it a bit with their blogs about c*ltic, Hibs, Dunfermline or whatever. I can't really remembering reading one about St. Mirren, so it seems to me that whoever is tweeting is just using it as advertising for whatever site rather than having a general interest in St. Mirren. Any chance she can be blocked from appearing on the homepage or something?
Thanks

You and Martin Bain must really enjoy being members of the pointless typing society.

I didn't know who it was at the time. Richard Atkinson said right at the beginning of the presentation that if anyone had any questions as he went along, to raise their hand. About 30 seconds into proceedings she asked a question, which was answered. She asked the same question again, it was answered again. She kept asking it. Jim Mullan of Kibble answered it too. She wasn't for giving up though, and kept going. It was almost like a deliberate act to railroad the proceedings - maybe she was wired for sound, and Yul Brynner up the back, possibly baldy and serious looking in his pastel green T Shirt, was pulling her strings. Nothing would surprise me anymore.

I think this a key point. For eons St Mirren has been run by a BoD made up of small local businessmen. That wasn't a bad thing; however as we have all experienced to our frustration they have been been fairly limited in their ability to market St Mirren. Small business people attract small business people. I am trying to make this point without being disrespectful to the current BoD who have done remarkable things and continue to do remarkable things with the current undertaking.
The BoDs of St Mirren certainly since the 70's / 80's have always been as mysterious and secretive as the ratf"king old grammarian society - many of the past Board members being part of that organisation.
We have had a history of minority shareholders from a small business background and their business networks reflect their standing in the business world.
A quick look at the business background of Richard Atkinson tells a story. ANyione with google can carry out some research on Richard or his family company. Somoen with the contacts of "animal" will of course know of Maxi Group already. We are hearing much from people how they have contacts with businesses that currently invest in St Mirren. Yet they have offered nothing by way of research into the people involved in the CIC program. They clearly prefer to deal in the easier tactic of made up speculation and rumour spinning negativity on every grain of information fed to them.
Take a look at Maxi Group and the companies they engage with as a matter of course. Think about the network of contacts that a Director of a Group of Companies of which each member company are all larger than any St Mirren board members I have seen in the past 20-30 years (happy to be corrected on this).
We have the £300-a-go player shirt sponsors and the auction dinner tie wearing w@nker types in place already and they are worthy of our praise just as a student or pensioner who spends their limited disposable income on a season ticket or the odd game when they can afford it also deserves our praise, we have the repeat local sponsors and the scumbag political parties investing our hard earned tax on the hoardings plus we have the great deal with Braehead. Already JD Sports are now involved at St Mirren. According to the press releases we have a number of obviously larger than normal companies getting involved with St Mirren at the "it'll never work according to some bawbags" £10,000 per annum corporate membership.
Dafites are posting that none of these organisations will invest that amount in St Mirren. I reckon the opposite will be true as we have seen with JD Sports. You were all at the game yesterday - or where you? JD Sports already have their kudos with the St Mirren support through the shirt deal and yet our Commercial Director Richard Atkinson managed without any arm twisting to get them to invest in the "hall of Fame" initiative dreamt up by a rank and file supporter - something our previous commercial department may have knocked back. What was in that for JD Sports? If some of the self important fandans that post on here are to be believed JD Sports would never do that - what did they hope to gain? Do JD Sports really think supporters will run out and buy more tops or shop at their stores as a result? The real question should be, would Provans - again no disrespect and at the risk of making Big Fras cry - but could Provans have made that investment in the club and in the support - did we even ask them or give them the opportunity? Again Provans did great things for our club and the support and deserve our plaudits for it.
Take a look at the people who are becoming involved in our club. They operate at a different level in terms of their business community and network than what has gone before. The second element to these people are the social responsibility element and their history and experience there. They will attract money from their corporate network. They will attract money from their social responsibility and funding network. They are also working their bawz off to ensure that the fans are right at the heart of the club and the decision making processes of the club.
There is no issue in expressing caution, no issue in expressing concern....but at least try to appreciate that these guys and the current BoD might just be trying to deliver something very, very exciting not only for the long suffering hard core support, but also for our entire area and perhaps most importantly for the voluntary organisations in our area and the members of our community that they serve.
For me this is simple:
Corporate Network - money into the club, but also business leaders and their ingenuity coming into the club to leverage the St Mirren brand.
Social Responsibility Network - access to previously untouchable sources of funding coming into the club, opportunities for the social responsibilities to benefit from St Mirren - very much a symbiotic relationship that for me sums up what being a St Mirren supporter is all about.
Community Ownership - fans no longer sitting on the outside of the club, their ideas and talents being brought right to the heart of the decision making table.
That for me is enough to listen with an open mind and a warm heart to the proposals. The fact that part of the deal is for community ownership with the fans leading the club is a massive bonus.
Some of the petty sniping at the information available so far through the media, or worse just the rumoured or frankly made up pish is embarrassing to our support.
It is difficult......we will try and put words into mouths....we will fret about areas of concern and may even get neurotic as we care about the situation so much. But lets try and keep a positive eye on the prize here - niggling doubts aside we must surely agree that if this is the real deal it could be absolutely massive for St Mirren.

Can we not put a temp Lock on this thread, there are people having a go at people they dont even know, and banding about information that they know even less about. I am not saying anyone is more right than others, I just want to be able to make my own mind up with all the facts/figures to hand. Come a few days and we will have all they information to hand and we can then all make up our mind........instead of people trying to pedal their own views about how this will / wont work etc.
If we all wait, we will all be more knowledgeable about what the CiC holds for St Mirren and its future
