Sorry haven't been on B&W for a while. Is it dead?
-
99% there.
Should have known .

How about a meet n greet/gala day/fund raiser once the cic kicks off.
It's now nearly winter
which isn't a crack at bud77 but shows how kong this has been rumbling on.I've been impressed by the scirelines fir GCLFC this season, they've did well as have the Scorland Ladies.
Anything more about their rumoured involvement?

I've certainly nothing more to add on the subject, it's pointless going over the same ground again.
When it is done it is done, and hopefully at that point everyone can either get right behind the new ownership model, or at least give it a fighting chance to succeed.
Take your inspiration from the dressing room wall of the first team, these statements say it better than any corporate presentation ever will;
Brilliant.

Herald has this quote from Danny on it's website:-
“I’ve always said they have play too many games in this league,” St Mirren manager Lennon said with a nod to the table. “I think they should cut it just now.”

I do hope the mailing is done and there's some attempt at newspaper advertising or getting a person speaking on radio phone-ins. For me, seeing the CiC message broader than just on-line would be a major thing. It may not be vital to have more individuals in from the financial set up, but it would be 'the right thing to do' and get to those fans that don't follow saints online.

I'm not racist but I'm definitely sexiest
Oh f**k no. Too far bud.

Quick sums - I make it St Mirren have played 191 SPL fixtures since their return to in 2006. They have won just 42, A strike rate of 1 in 5. In contrast they have lost 93 times - that's 1 in 2.
That sounds about right in terms of stats.

I would just like to say that I have an arrangement to meet a fellow forum user at 2.45pm this Saturday, to exchange some CDs, at our main entrance. If anyone sees me, I am neither holding a one man anti-CIC demonstration, nor am I waiting for Yul and his posse to ride into Rock Ridge....Hmm, Mongo like candy.
I am there to exchange CDs.
Thank you.
Home taping is killing music.

Ironically though, my gut feeling is that SMiSA have paid their dues, put in the effort, tried to do good, and actually deserve representation in the new ownership model.
Of course they do. I feel sorry for the committee guys that tried to plug away buying shares from the current board to be snubbed at every turn.
SMiSA's gig became damn near impossible when the tesco deal for the new ground went through. The club was 'saved' there was the perception in the support that nothing was wrong and the BoD no longer needed cash in.
We'll soon learn if the CiC model actually delivers St Mirren to the fans rather than through a supporters trust.
I think the CiC delivers St Mirren to the 'community' which isn't quite the same, but possibly it's close enough.

Chairman Fitz?

Far be it for me to speak for Sid Poz but I think what he actually meant was rather than being told how it would work, it was time for St Mirren supporters to get together now to tell 10000hours how they would like it to work. I get what he means but I think he gives the average football fan more credit then they are due. The reality is that it would be better if 10000hours let the community members draught the constitution, after all they are the important element with the relevant experience.
Why would the St Mirren support bother?
SMiSA never got much backing, the forums are but a percentage of the support. There's no organised supporters group.
Yup there'll be a few up for shouting the odds, but your average St Mirren fan will have hee haw to do with the whole process, CiC member or not.
We'll get told how it'll work and some brave souls will get involved in it and get end up getting utter pelters for being on the board or in with the CiC.
Only if there's an emergency or if things look like turning to shite will there be any active agitation by ordinary supporters.
-
Miss Evans on Real Radio earlier, hoping this doesn't go through. Can't say she offered many alternatives.
What alternative is there?
Would the BoD really call off the CiC bid at this stage? it's as good as done.
Are the board still looking for offers, I doubt it.
-
So animal's has smisa handing cash to sg and co AND giving it to RA to squander.
SMiSA's cash is going a long way!
-
No one is disputing that SMISA don't have the best interests of the club at heart
I note not one of you have answered the following questions:-
What are the 'condidtions'. If you were handing over £50,000 to someone do you not want to know this ?
doesn't it say SMiSA are meeting the CiC to discuss that?
Will the money not simply go to Mr.Gilmour and Co. ?I'd have thought investing in the CiC means the money goes to the CiC?
if the CIC collapses in a year or two how will the £50,000 be paid back ?presumably anyone investing in the CiC gets a percentage share of it's assets if it fails - company law specialist would only really know that answer.
How many shares in SMFC Ltd will the £50,000 buy ?zero. The current board aren't selling shares. No secret that SMiSA have been trying to get new issue shares for years to be rebuffed by the current board
Answers please Sid and fellow CIC fans !
I've zero involvement in the CiC and can only say about smisa as a member.
The smisa committee will do the right thing they're committed St Mirren fans and good people. I'm happy to see progress and we'll see the outcome of their talks with the CiC.
-
Something that bothers me about this whole saga is that as soon as someone posts any concern about the cic in any form it becomes an anti cic desperate petty post which seeks to "damage the club"
Can people not just not like the idea or think it will fail?
Fair point. I thought the entities were separate?
It's a fair point about the crossover between provans and JD sports selling stuff. I know nothing about golf, but do golf playing St mirren fans really spend that sort of money?
Been some fantastic signings this summer. Do I praise mr gilmour and the BOD?
How much longer til the cic takes over?
-
30 year old. 13 clubs?
Theres something going on.

Not a player, but the Airdrie Stomp boards are saying a member of their backroom staff coming to Saints.
-
Noticed that Reimond Manco Albarracin was added to Nigel Hasselbainks friends list on Facebook today.
Peruvian striker/attacking midfielder who is currently without a club.
I wonder if Nigel met him at training today
Saw that name meant by him on twitter as @hsslbnk today but it was in a stream of Dutch and I hadn't a clue what he meant.
-
Same time Div, there's a couple of thousand shares already owned by SMiSA probably rendered worthless once the CiC deal is concluded. I dunno if the CiC would want SMiSA's shares to up their ownership percentage. I assume the CiC doesn't need it though.
It'd make some sense for SMiSA to use funds to buy in to the CiC at a corporate level, but I dunno if all the funds held should be thrown in at once.
-
I think I voted first time around, I'm certain I did the second time.
Whether SMISA remains relevant now I dunno.
I have my fears. I certainly would prefer to see SMiSA buying into SMFC Ltd, but it's a members vote.
-
new signing coming, no joke or bull here..might be this week or sometime next week but is a done deal and aint Carey....and aint any of the trialists, 100% hush hush at moment but a great signing...
Ok, can you say what position the signing is for?
-
I'm going to boldy predict there will be no new signings until after the players come back from Portugal.
Meh. Bastards.
Is the CIC dead?

f**k. Why did I even bother looking at this.
Brutal thread.
