Well I've asked the same questions a few times now and I have only read one answer - ffrom someone not party to the CIC and whose "answer" didn't actually answer my question!

Possibly because they don't believe the answer actually answers the question asked? Debate is tiresome? This isn't North Korea!

I understand the bit about the CIC making money from currently under utilised assets at St. Mirren Park in order to repay the debt. The ground has assets that the club currently doesn't use and without the CIC they probably never would. Atkinson & Co have ideas to generate money and the CIC will be able to raise capital that the club can't. All seems reasonable. The bit that I haven't seen answered yet is what the priority of the people running the club and the CIC (ie the same people, Atkinson & Co) will be? There is surely some conflict of interest here? If someone contacts Atkinson in order to see if the club can host a large money spinning conference for example, which way will it go? Will Atkinson & co decide to put it through the CIC as their firts priority is to repay Gilmour & Co or do they put it through the club? Also, the other thing I don't understand is, what is in it for Mr Atkinson & Co? It seems like a choice between the CIC or the status quo and the status quo is heading nowhere IMO. But these questions still interest me.

Will there not be a conflict of interests for the directors in terms of who they are organising an "event" for? As the directors will also be CIC people and their priority will be to pay off the loan, they will therefore surely be doing this at the expense of organising such events for the club? Also, apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but what say will the other 48% of shareholders have in the running of the club?

Why bother speculating? We already have a fantastic manager in Gus Macpherson.

Mehmet is a better all round player than Sutton... except in the goalscoring stakes unfortunately. I reckon he will score a few though.
