It will be used to help the club survive the season. Revenue is way down and there doesn’t appear to be a return of fans anytime soon. I can see some clubs folding. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get what you say but going down severely cuts our revenue even further, at least one in would help for the rest of the campaign.

Mid Calder Saint 1,450 Report post Posted October 3, 2020 I understand your thoughts but we already have TV Revenue and Season Ticket Money think around 3k sold so we should be better than fake Saints Livi and Accies I would imagine we are fairly prudent re running costs factoring in for the moment no fans allowed we most definitely need strengthening or it could be pretty dire. I get what you say but going down severely cuts our revenue even further, at least one in would help for the rest of the campaign. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desperately Seeking Susans 1,385 Report post Posted October 3, 2020 If a club see the potential in a player normally they would offer a contract before they enter their last season so the club have breathing space to negotiate a decent transfer deal if it emerges. If the player refuses to sign then the club won't play him and put him on the transfer list, concentrate on the existing squad and develop a player in his place. It appears in the past with prominent players this has not been the case and the club sees players leave for next to nothing. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
santaponsasaint 5,188 Report post Posted October 3, 2020 It does feel like we've become a 'feeder' club for Hibs, and certainly not showing the ambition of a Tony Fitzpatrick 'top 6 club'..Great Post. Total lack of ambition from gutless directors. As much as I love Fitzy he should be kept away from the press. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gordon Scott will not put any more money into St Mirren and therefore will remain a multi millionaire. In fact the reason Kibble are now on board means he gets his money back out faster.

BuddieinEK 8,641 Report post Posted October 3, 2020 In June, Hibs made three coaches redundant with Colin Nish, Lee Makel and Grant Murray all leaving the club.They then asked all players to take a year long pay cut as they were in financial difficulty and facing hard choices to protect their future.They have since spent around half a million buying players!Surely this cannot go unchallenged? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
