  1. Someone tried the Calum Waters thing on me 2 years ago and I bit like f**k and went off on one. Fool me once...
  2. Think it's a shoddy bit of journalism. £350k has been plucked from thin air because we are looking at £350k for Erthan. There's no chance is Baccus being allowed to walk for anything like £350k and if he did, every single person working in the club at board level should be expected to resign immediately .
  3. Next financial year meaning the financial year following the report. 2022/23. The financial year we are currently in. The aim is to be break even again by the end of financial year 2023/24 so I expect another modest loss next year unless we sell players this month which is pretty realistic at this point.
  4. Of course he is. He played against some of the best international sides on the planet and acquitted himself very well. We're now leaving the realm of 'can we afford to lose him' as we always ask and entering 'can we afford to knock that back' bids. Unless Rangers or Celtic want him and he's worth £6m to those two.
  5. Think we can take it as read that he's gone. If not in January then definitely at end of his contract. Don't think his new agents are doing all this for a new deal with us.
  6. I'd say Erhahon's definitely on his way. His new agents (Anoton Ferdinand's agency) have been touting him on social media so they are definitely putting his name out there.
  7. Probably not the news some on here were wanting to see. I see Supersaints has now f**ked off as it's a case of job done. Daddy Gilmour got what he wanted and he's had his batteries removed and been put back in the bedside drawer for such times when he's needed again. 😄
  8. Suitably stinking day for it. Get in their faces early and get the pressure ramped right up on them. If we win today, I reckon they'll 100% pull the trigger on Van Bronckhorst as they now have ample time due to the break. We should be going in with a mindset that there is nothing to fear here, definitely not!
  9. He stood in the student union the last day of the season in 2014 and told me and 4 others that there was a board meeting on Monday and he wanted Danny gone, not renewed. I told him he was bang out of order for discussing it so openly with supporters and also out of order for cutting a guy adrift who'd done a very decent job and he looked each of us in the eye and said we'd be moving on to bigger and better things. Less than a week later, Tommy Craig was in charge. Nah, his time in the sun has been and gone - no need to go back to the days of old. He served a purpose when the club needed him and over the piece, did so quite well. There's no need for him to be anywhere near SMFC now as anything other than a supporter.
  10. His comments are gaslighting of the highest order. He praises SMISA to the high heavens for holding off 'investment' from Argentina, Italy and USA. Easy for him to decry the Argentinian 'investment' as bogus now (which he did by placing it in inverted commas) - he absolutely championed it as the saviour of the club at the time and was hell bent on pushing it through to get out at any cost. His manifesto read like a post on here - loads of 'those are the bad guys and I'm here to stop them' type shenanigans without actually saying anything or providing proper backup of what he's actually trying to stop. I've used up all four of my votes. None of them were for SGG. It's time for fresh faces, not steps back into the old days.
  11. Look what you've made me do SuperSaints. You've made me agree with Dickson! I 100% agree with this - I've had f**k knows how many set-to's with you and your motives down the years but you're correct that there is absolutely nothing to be gained in going back that way. For all the good that the old board did over the piece (in my opinion and I know you don't agree with that SD), the last few years very much made it clear that it was time for all parties to get out ASAP and yet it seemed that they just wouldn't. Fair enough for them looking for some sort of return on investment I suppose but things like the Argentinian consortium debacle, the obvious lack of really giving that much of a toss in the end up and the thinly veiled threats of financial ruin if we did not vote Rangers back into the top flight all definitely left a sour taste in the mouth.
  12. Without trying to be TOO rude, are you f**king stupid? Every business runs with a set of published accounts that are out of date. Profit/Loss sheets are designed to be a snapshot of financial position at a set point in time. Are you honestly on here criticising the club because the accounts published are not going to be the financial standing on that very day? What is it you actually want? Are you looking for a day-by-day update on what the current financial situation is at the club? You honestly think a financial statement is processed every week? Do you know how much that would cost to do so?! Get a grip of yourself mate. The only thing that has come out so far is rumour and innuendo. The fact of the matter is that if the club is in a dire financial situation, it would have 100% been picked up on by the local or national press by now. But yes, let's all inundate those who are running the club because someone on a website said a thing without any sort of tangible evidence whatsoever. f**k my life, I honestly despair at some folk who actually WANT the club they support to fail and fail badly. 'Misery Hunters' indeed.
  13. 8-10 points from that run would be superb. A win today and against St. Johnstone could leave us essentially not having to look back over our shoulders for the rest of the season. The league last season was cutthroat with everyone from 4th-10th capable and looking like they could finish anywhere. This season even more so and 3rd-12th currently looks like it could be fair game for every single side. Nobody striding ahead or lagging behind.
  14. He suffered a severely broken toe at end of August. Think they said when it happened it would keep him out for a longish period.
  15. I understand the optimism given recent events but unfortunately, I fear we're going to be a bit decimated in terms of the squad this week. Ayunga suspended. Strain almost certainly out. Tait, Main, Brophy all probable (but hopefully not) fitness worries.
  16. I'd imagine 'best run' is based more on the fact that we were named as one of the top 10 best run clubs in the entire continent and 2nd best in Scotland around 4 months or so ago, rather than no knowledge whatsoever.
  17. I've stood up for him constantly but think it may be a case of both parties being ready to move on in January if the constant lack of availability continues. Brophy needs games, we need Brophy fit and avaiailbe to play. Neither the club nor the player are getting what they want/need currently so it might be a case of moving on being best for all parties.
  18. Good day at the office for young Kieran as he grabs two goals in a 3-1 win over Malta for Scotland U19s. Previously was listed as a hat-trick but other goal was given to Josh Adam.
  19. I'm sure I read somewhere that the life expectancy of the dome was something like 6 or 7 years. Given we've now had it nearly a decade, is it a case that it's no longer viable to fix and exposed to the point that there's not a lot to stop the cunts doing it again?
  20. But you've provided no evidence to back your claims up whatsoever outside of 'I have a reliable source'. If you are coming here with irrefutable proof of wrongdoings then many Saints supporters will be up in arms. We've seen in the last couple of years, it doesn't take a lot for St. Mirren fans to question WTF is going on. The difference is though that on the public face of it, since last summer, the club has been run a whole lot better. Professional output, a stronger ticketing system, no real mumblings of wrongdoings or failings that often used to find their way out. Your 'evidence' that a bam or bams slashed a big inflatable structure as proof irrefutable that there are systematic failings at the club is honestly quite comical. As for Michelle Evans arriving in a blaze of publicity....did she? As far as I recall she arrived every bit as quietly as she left. I don't recall a press release or certainly nothing heralding her arrival at the club. Possibly as mention in the newsletter. I don't even think I knew she worked for the club until recently. I'm not saying that what you have written carries no merit. There does appear to be a hell of a lot of confirmation bias going on though. You don't like the Kibble. We get it. But to use departures on the quiet as a stick to beat the club with when the arrivals were also on the quiet (whilst claiming they weren't) comes off as you having a pretty sizeable agenda. So long story short. Provide proof. Provide sources. If you are so concerned, go to the press. Someone out there will love having a scoop of this size landed on their desk with all the dirt and shenanigans that goes with it, particularly Saints friendly reporters such as Graeme McPherson, Douglas McNeill or even Scott Burns who also takes a keen interest in us. Rather than coming on here and slating supporters and SMISA backers for having our heads in the sand...if you are enlightened then you do something proactive with it and put your convictions out there to the press. You could save the club! Or carry on coming on here and telling folk doomsday is coming and either disappear when it doesn't, or wring your hands and go 'told you, told you' when it does. As it stands, the burden of proof lies solely at your door so you cannot get agitated when folk ask for you to back up your accusations and assertions.
  21. Don't be stupid. That would involve many public admissions of being wrong from the infallible. To be fair, I did speak to Lex in the pub on Sunday and he held his hands up and said he was delighted to be proven wrong so fair enough.
