You've obviously not been following this forum very closely for the last few years DXBBud......the far flung fuds of B&WArmy even have their own club.....ya pr!ck.
Your snide remarks are getting worse. Did you not notice that DXBBud has only been a member of the forum for 3 days??

He attends games!

'cos I'll be one of the fans left to bail out all you dafties that sign up to the fan ownership equivalent of a pyramid scheme.
Can you please explain what you mean by bailing us out? Have you suddenly come into millions or are you just hoarding your wealth under the mattress at present?
-
Do you really think that the CIC supporters would be prepared to continue to give money to someone who wants to buy the club? If so, your mind is much more devious than even I thought.

This isn't a football match smcc. The CIC getting started is not a victory - it will be the start of a worrying period for fans. Anyone that celebrates the decision irrespective of which way it goes clearly doesn't understand the implications of it. The time for cracking open the champagne will be when the debt is paid off.
There were no celebrations when the club announced it was planning to sell Love Street. We all shat ourselves and rightly so. The initial celebrations were when the planning permission was overturned (but we were still shitting ourselves so the party didn't last) and then ultimately when we were sitting in the new stadium watching SG kick a ball into the net to officially open it. You celebrate when the project is complete and successful. SIgning up to £1.5Million of debt is no cause for celebration - it is a time to dread what might be coming in the future - ditto if the decision goes the other way. These are dark days of uncertainty after the success of the ground move.
I'm a "glass is half full" man. You seem to see the glass as half empty!

In your OP you suggested that I'd be grinning whilst swinging a hammer if 10000 hours proposal doesn't go through. I'll be doing neither, but I will be holding them to account in how they run the club I and many others have supported through thick & thin. Just like I've always done.
How will you react if 10000 hours are successful?
I have to say that it was you who brought up the "nail in the coffin" analogy(hence my swinging a hammer remark) and, judging by your previous posts on this subject, you will be happy if the CIC does not gain enough members to start.
I will be happy if the CIC gets up and running.

We bit of spin there too.....the "we're tired and have run out of ideas" line is getting a bit tired. I would say getting fans to sign up to pay off £1.5M of debt over the next ten years is not the act of a group of people devoid of ideas. I'd say that is fairly creative.
Not everyone's mind is as devious as yours.

Actually you might want to re-direct your hate filled accusations to a Mr S Gilmour and his selling consortium! Because that is who intends to sell 52% of shares in SMFC to either 10000 hours or the other two bidders who they assure us are "Real Football People"
Whether 10000 hours gets the funding it needs or not is actually nothing to do with me. It's to do with them! So perhaps you should direct some of your hate filled post towards them if you don't end up getting what you want?
What I want is the continued existence of a succesfull, debt free football club. Not one that sits under a mountain of debt from day one!
As yet no one has put a proposal out to offer that to the fans.
I have no idea where you find hate-filled comments in my post, but your suggestion that I direct them towards the consortium of directors makes me wonder whether you have been listening to anything that has been said over the past 3 years. The members of the consortium decided that they had had enough and put the club up for sale. Thus far no bid has come up to their criteria(to which I am not privy) and the CIC is the only show in town about which anything is known and which allows the fans some prospect of influencing club policies. I grant you that it is not ideal but better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

Nail in the coffin day?
No doubt you'll be grinning from ear to ear tomorrow if not enough fans sign up. If the CIC falls through and Saints end up being owned by someone unconnected with Scotland or with Scottish football, about whom we. at present know SFA and whose reasons for buying St Mirren are completely unknown, you will be remembered as the person swinging the hammer.
-
Totally agree. I think that is the shameful element of all this and I really can't understand why anyone would still trust Stewart Gilmour or any of the other consortium members for anything after recent episodes. They repaid St Mirren's debt after 13 years of struggle, only to put the club back heavily into debt so they can line their own pockets.
I thought that the club was virtually debt free. Any debt will be owned by the CIC, not St Mirren FC.
WRT the consortium lining their pockets, the debt that they cleared was largely covered by personal guarantees which have now been repaid. All that they want to do now is sell their shares,having spent years of their lives looking after St Mirren.

Have the 600plus people that returned the original DDs been contacted to ask them to do it again? Are new paper DDs available to those not happy about doing financial transactions on line.
See 10,000 Hours website. http://10000hours.or...irect_debit.pdf
If I remember rightly, REA said at the meeting that all of those who had previously submitted DDs had been asked to confirm that they still want to do so.

For God's sake shut up until you have something sensible to say. You make it sound as if the deal is dead. Gie us peace!
