    We can critique the individual performances of Ayunga and Main on Saturday, but they were anything but a partnership. They were constantly miles away from each other.

    dumbarton_bud got a reaction from faraway saint in Have you ever wondered where the Kibble got £400,000 of public money to buy into our club ?   
    Okay, I'll bite. The Kibble have an annual income of about £35m (taken from the OSCR website). That's not including the various subsidiaries/trading arms that run alongside the core charity. 
    For context, St Mirren had income of about £4m last FY (taken from Companies House). 
    Why should charity leaders be paid so much less than their private sector counterparts? And realistically what do you think he should be paid?

    Calm down 😂
    As soon as McGinn was made available by Hibs, he looked to be a good fit for us. Of course he’s due a spot in this thread. I only visit B&WA for the speculation thread these days but it’s posts like this to initiate bickering that make it totally insufferable at times.

    Two points make this issue a no-brainer for me
    Firstly, taking shedloads of £££s from the wallets of bigots and stuffing those £££s into St Mirren's bank account makes perfect sense both financially and morally. To chuck this (much needed) cash away for essentially a 'point of principle' would be stupid.
    And secondly, ST holders in the Family Stand already know that they are likely to be shifted elsewhere for these fixtures when they purchase their STs and this hasn't deterred them in the past. 
    So, as I see it, we have a choice between 'the moral high ground' or piles of cash. No contest IMO.

    Don't know why but I had it in my head that we were paying Jack Ross about £150k around the time he was being linked with Dundee/Ipswich, when promotion was basically a certainty and we could speculate a little. 
    That said, the £2.5k a week figure makes a lot more sense when you put it in that context.

    I actually wonder if the Naismith/Brown interviews were a fact finding mission on the part of the board/CEO.
    Invite 2 former players, now coaches who between them have played at the 5 biggest clubs in Scotland and mine them for potential best-practice information under the guise of a job interview.

    Taking training today and in the dugout tomorrow. Great business by the club to bring in an experienced and proven manager about 72 hours after the last one left. Looks like we are about £150k up aswell

    Motherwell also coined in several million pounds from the sale of Turnbull to the green bigots, so they can afford to do it.
    Maybe next season, if McGinn gets his big move, then maybe we'll be in a position to adopt a similar stance.
    Motherwell: David Turnbull sale key to record annual profit of £3.575m - BBC Sport
    Also worth noting that they have government loan of almost £3 million.
    No wonder they can afford to adopt this stance.

    Season ticket holders get to see all home league games. Everyone else gets to see the games they pay for. This is the way it has always been. The medium used to see the game -TV or in person - is irrelevant. Simple really.

    Access to Kibble staff to grow the commercial side of the club and to make savings where possible ie vehicle maintenance. 
    It also sounds like Kibble will give us access to their little black book of commercial contacts, but I may be misinterpreting the video
