Big Yards Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 C'mon Gilmour and your BoD, come out and tell us what's really going on down there. Are we in severe financial trouble hence the constant cut backs, letting players go for relatively nothing, appointing the cheap option over and over. Looks to me like we are being run like a club heading for Administration and the board are hoping they get a buyer before that happens and that way they'll never need to tell the support what's actually going on!

TopCat Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 A Saturday evening and a Sunday after a defeat always sees a plethora of nonsense threads started on here, and this weekend has been no different. This one takes the cake though. Administration FFS Quote
davidg Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 I actually heard that cash flow was part of the reason we sold McLean. It was either that or £50k had to be found/loaned. Not saying that administration was a possibility but we clearly sail close to the wind with cash flow. Quote

nedflanders123 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 If there was any truth in this then I would expect to hear something from the club. Quote

pozbaird Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 If there was any truth in this then I would expect to hear something from the club. Maybe the Sevco board will meet the Rangers Supporters Trust to convince them St Mirren must be kept in the top flight. Quote

Big Jake Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 We might not be in as bad a financial state if we didn't keep having to pay managers and players off for the remainder of their contracts. Far too often the same mistakes being repeated Quote
scrappy coco Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 How far away is Liquidation ? About a 10 minute drive up Paisley road west... Quote

2becks Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 When I see threads like this I wish I had a bit more to do at work so that I wouldn't have time to see threads like this. Quote

pod Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 I've got lots to do, you could always give me a hand. (Yes, I know that comment is leaving it open for the usual suspects to delve into their "innuendo pots".) Didn't say a thing. Quote
Big Yards Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Posted February 23, 2015 The only explanation for how we're being run at the moment is that we are in financial trouble. Don't try and hide it from the supporters Quote
bluto Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Bollox. Saints fans know the cost of running an SPL team without turning it into sevco. It's a fine line and K Mclean's departure helps fund that. If you were a Saints fan you'd know this. Not every club can have (or would want) off-the-radar-billionaires.... Quote
oaksoft Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 The only explanation for how we're being run at the moment is that we are in financial trouble. Don't try and hide it from the supporters Duh! Of course we are in financial trouble. It's because we spend every penny which comes in without creating a rainy day fund. Crowds have dropped away so it should be no surprise whatsoever to find that we are struggling. Spending every penny and leaving no room for slack is a disastrous business model. Is there ever going to be a point where fans start to get how clubs are run? Quote

It doesn't need a billionaire. It simply needs someone to recognise that we need a rainy day fund to, for example, allow a good player to be bought at a crucial time or for the wages to be paid when 2000 turn up for a midweek game. Spending every penny with no allowance for fluctuations in a business which is known to be particularly prone to cash fluctuations is borderline financial mismanagement. Quote

You've bought into the BY bollox. There is no suspicion, no hint of financial mismanagement. Real Saints fans are already well aware of the difficulties that can be encountered. The BoD have already recognised the fluctuations and have been running the club more than adequately. BY is a troll. Can't you recognise even that? Quote

Bit of a dramatic change from the club that went out and signed thommo, teale, McGowan, Carey, hasslebaink, tesselaar etc all in the same per season to what we have now. A team of wee boys earning peanuts! Then we sell our best player for at least half of what he was worth. Doesn't add up as just the way a normal club is run. Something has happened in the last 2 years thats made us completely tear our whole squad apart and replace it with boys Quote

Call me whatever you want but at the end of the day even you know the dramatic change in our playing staff and the constant cut backs spells trouble for our clubNoone else in the league is in such a pitiful state Edited February 23, 2015 by Big Yards Quote
Seaside Nipper Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Fwiw , imo BY is not missing the target and splattering the wall. These things, changes, rabid fiscal prudence, whatever other machinations behind the scenes, are very likely to be a pre amble to closing a deal just as they are a clearing the decks before the Iceberg strike Either way frankly , this was always shaping up and now is proving to be the season from hell, playing and results wise aside. An utter shitfest. Quote
Magic Monkey Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 I've got filing all over the place. Stationery orders have been missed, and my calendar is full of double bookings. Am I in administration trouble? Quote
