shull Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Great news for the club, sad to see we have some xenophobic people already making negative posts however Show the xenophobia. If the new owners were born and bred Buddies but not Saints Fans, i would have exactly the same feelings.

Dafty Unfortunately by narrowing our criteria down as much as you'd like to, that leaves us with probably 2 or 3 prospective owners. In an ideal world we'd be owned by a Saints fan. However, we don't have the scope or fanbase to expect a fan to come up with the money demanded to take control of the club.

Mykey Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Shull, you are one of my favourite posters on here, and I don't believe for one second that you are xenophobic but it's too early for the R.I.P. posts, we may even have some exciting times ahead, their investment is only successful if the team are successful on the park, hopefully fan ownership somewhere down the line, but in the meantime - COYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnus Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm sure the BoD will have done due diligence on the new owners. We are still St Mirren. New ideas and new energy about the club could be the lift we need. It would be good to see the new owners and SMISA meet early and work together.

Well the Board should drop their price, resign and sell shares to individual Buddies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Club hasn't been sold According to a journalist on twitter there's been no contact made between parties in a month. I don't see why Div would pull this out of thin air though. For that reason I'm inclined to believe that progress has been made and the journos sources are wrong.

He's even put a wager on the tip from Scott Burns with the foreign manager if the argies take over. Seems a bit of a strange one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyg Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Club hasn't been sold You honestly think Div would set himself up for a fall of that magnitude ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Club hasn't been sold Div wrote it will be sold during the week that a deal must have been agreed. So yes the club has not been sold right now. If it has come from Div it will be 1,000,000 correct Edited January 11, 2015 by Isle Of Bute Saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 You honestly think Div would set himself up for a fall of that magnitude ? I don't believe so. Div always errs on the side of caution when it comes to speculation. That's why when he does come out with a statement like this, it's not without it's source.
