    I dont know what is choking me more, your smokescreen or the constant stream of bullshit you've been posting.
    And there's no need to be so bitter, it was you who made yourself look like a tit, I only highlighted your ignorance.
    To paraphrase a better poster than you, hope this skelps.

    Not that I can answer on behalf of the mods but Feegie Saint used homophobic and arguably racist comments on a lot of his previous posts. I think that was why he was banned.
    And FWIW, there are those that are wanks on here! Some, and you know who, have (for whatever reason) launched a smear campaign against REA and the CiC generally. Those who tried to stick up for the man or the CiC notion, probably because they had taken the time to meet with him and discuss their concerns, we're accused of wanting a place on some sort of board.
    With the exception of Somner9 every counter-CiC arguement has been along the lines of " he doesn't even run a company", "he's a dick", "you are an arselicker" or "there are no scarves".
    The case levelled against those who are on the side of the CiC is that we just call those against names... However that is what that anti lot do too! The only difference is, we have bothered to look into it, go to them with our concerns and hear what they have to say.

    Or, as expected, the CIC is struggling to get over the final hurdle and he and the other members of his consortium see an opportunity to move in with a more realistic offer in terms of share value....?
    If the CIC fails to land the deal I can't see anyone buying the 52% for £2m.

    Aye you must be right there I mean everyone knows the business plan going forward, we've all contributed to the constitution, and being last in line to be told about the cic proposal after Business and community members didn't bother anyone! Good job the communication has been spot on and we are firing on all cylinders on the commercial front.
    The CiC is deed!!! everybody knows some are in denial.

    JDs have improved the quality of the strips and other branded items, such as my tailored sleeping bag. They have been nothing but friendly when I have dealt with them. The Stadium shop is coming along nicely now and why any St Mirren fan would want to discourage fellow fans from going in and purchasing St Mirren merchandise is disgraceful. Support your club.

    I feel sorry for you as the end of the CIC obviously marks the end of your ambition to get a place on the board below the board below the board, but good to see Atkinson still has supporters who will stick by him come what may. You can't buy that kind of loyalty, at least not with your own money.

    Fools gold for everyone.
    Just $10 dollars Americano a month exchangeable for the blind trust and the waco like following of a Mirren Messiah, a Stranger who came out of the west.
    He said, ‘’I employ 400’’. It was proven he didn’t. The villagers ignored this truth. ‘‘Yea’’ he said believe in me. And they did. Lawd above, he even admitted he was using them and they not only accepted it but were prepared to foot the bill for it!
    They swallowed the stinging criticism of one of his posse, a cowpoke known as the Kibble Kid, a man not fit to lace the boots of the club ‘legend’ they persuaded to act as their frontman. The KK, a man who felt it appropriate to insult them and their club at the first public meeting held in their own new stadium (not his, he’s not a Saints fan either, shellik I think) and ask ‘‘it makes you wonder what they (the board) have been doing for the last ten years, followed by ‘‘why has it taken US to come in and sort all this out?’’ Hot damn and the followers swallowed this stuff content to bankroll a new outside outfit controlled by the Stranger where not a dime, peso or penny would go to the club.
    The Stranger and his posse (a couple of honchos and a whole lot of freeloaders in the boardroom at home games) continued to tell the fans they would have a say in the club. The villagers gathered in the village square. Some of them so blind tried to take their fellow Saints fans with them. They posted. Follow him, follow the Stranger, he knows best. We are willing to be an experiment, we know we won’t own the club but this is best. If it fails we will just go back to the way we were. It’s enough to make a St Sad sad. So they followed blindly without any REAL question or scrutiny. They defended him, made excuses for having dirt - as opposed to paydirt - kicked in their faces. They attended meetings, when they were actually held. They gave their private banking details to unknown strangers. Later some even posted that they hoped their bank details had not been lost. Boy howdy did they trust.
    Then the backers pulled the six shooters out when a whole selection of concerned FELLOW FANS voiced concerns. Their answer was to ridicule and demand alternatives, even though the alternative is and was the status quo (no not that status quo) until normal business practice is re-introduced. Nobody ever suggested that the board revert to individuals and do not act as a bloc of shares.
    There was no darned need for an alternative to be suggested. The agenda was being set by the board and the Stranger was a central part of that process. As sundown followed sundown some fans even started to do the Stranger’s job for him, because he was doing a fair impression of hiding out with the hole in the wall gang. Where was he? Where is he? Boo hoo why won’t he talk to us? One or two even suggested the cic was a done deal. Tumbleweed rolled by.
    Good results on the pitch helped divert attention. Transparent information was lacking. The fans can wait was the attitude. Meetings were called, meetings were cancelled ­– tomorrow ­- we only need three weeks. The wagons were circled.
    Where are those darned direct debits. Have they been returned to the senders? Will the forms be returned? Who is storing them? Are they registered to legally collect this information? Have any fans called the club to find out? No. They’ve given their personal banking details to the stranger who is informing them in a transparent and businesslike way each and every day. Don’t worry. Don’t question.
    Behind the scenes the Stranger has lost the support of all staff.
    He has brought nothing of substance to our club.
    He has proved beyond all doubt that marketing is not his forte.
    Cancel Christmas. We have no shop to speak of.
    No real Saints gear on sale.
    Leave your strip for days just to letter, then phone, call, send a pigeon, telegraph to find out what’s happening.
    JD staff still tell fans they don’t sell Saints strips.
    The deal is worth much less than Provans.
    His mini programme failed.
    The laundry was a washout.
    Soaking $1.50 from whippersnappers mobile phones has thankfully stopped.
    Other scary stuff never made it to the fans.
    The big backers on forums have gone to ground.
    Other clubs are dumbfounded.
    The club has not been held up and delivered into the hands of a bunch of amateurs funded by the fans and the taxpayers while they swan around the boardroom and pow wow about how the cic will pay its debts with smisa’s and fans’ dollars. WHERE DO SMISA STAND NOW? St Mirren fans who HAVE put cash into the club on more than one occasion meet soon. How about a statement before the club AGM SMISA pardners.
    The Stranger has not succeeded in swiping taxpayers’ loot and putting in place a three board structure that could only lead to disagreement and argument.
    There is no place for the Stranger in all of this. He is commercial director and has overseen a strip deal devoid of hard cash. A commercial operation he has put in shackles and darned well hog tied. Seen the club ridiculed in the press over laundry, church services, and a shambles of cic launch. All of this while posters who would have previously slaughtered Provans/ the commercial department /the club/the board for just an itty bitty fraction of this say hee haw or complain. There is no way back. Credibility is gone. Would you buy a cart from this man?
    The Stranger rode into our town with a fistful of counterfeit dollars. His and the cic’s credibility have gone. Time he rode out again on a buroo which is where I might end up with a script like this (I blame the six). He does not own a company that employees 400 and I may just be one of them!
    St Mirren is a football club. It and the fans come first. They do not deserve to be an experiment. The cic would ultimately destroy our club. For a taste of the future just look at the way ordinary decent fans have been treated by a stranger who has said he would inevitably be bossman. That’s the reality of the future management style of the cic. Why would any villager want to pay $10 a month for the privilege of being no more than window dressing?
    It was always fools gold. The cic is dead, worse the Stranger knows it.
    Mr. Brynner and his six side cics.
