David Nicol To Stand Down..........

What's negative about it? There was a line on last years accounts for Directors Pay, which had not been there during the last board's tenure. Whats so difficult to understand in that line?

a couple of questions at the AGM would make it clear which directors were being paid. TF and CS will be paid in their respective employee roles, not as directors.

Well we know it's not GLS or DN based on what has been quoted in the buyout. As TF sits on the board as a director it is most likely him and has been widely quoted as him with no one refuting it.

There is a big difference between someone getting paid a salary as part of a BOD and taking profit from a company (the club) we also know that is not the case and won't be the case as we continue into fan ownership. 

Your negativity stems from the off the cuff comment that it could go up. Like I say, all your comments resonate to the negative as an automatic stand point.

Bawz! Your comments are gash.

it could go up simply because the last accounts didnt cover a whole year. You seem to be corroborating your own take on the basis of not actually knowing anything about it! 

I on the other hand suggested a couple of questions at the AGM to clear it up.  No one, as far as i am aware has actually asked the club secretary, and he would be duty bound to answer at the AGM.

I've never claimed to know what it is. I'm simply calling you out on always assuming a negative. You clearly don't know anything about it either.

Not even completely sure what you want cleared up. It's part of our accounts regarding an outgoing, we have many. Unless you are assuming (as usual) it's something negative?

And 'Director' is a very generic expression utilised by organisations. It doesn't specifically have to mean remuneration for a company board director. You are just jumping to the most negative possibility as per usual.

In terms of the Companies act, it does refer to and only to appointed company directors (i.e. board appointments). It covers any remuneration paid to these directors during their time as a director either for the full financial year or the part relating to their tenure. If their hold other roles e.g. CEO of Company Secretary this is irrelevant for disclosure purposes.

Directors remuneration is all of their payments.

Bored with your trolling now mate.  Tattie bye!

I think you might be talking about Non Executive Directors (NED) 

Directors can be employees of the company and be salaried. Not saying it is the case at the club but they can be. Like I say, we know GLS and DN do not take an income from the club and no one else takes profits currently. I imagine the £40k is very likely the way they do TF salary. It's been well commented on and never denied which it usually would be.

Nomination period for new SMISA director on the board opened yesterday (16th October 2018)

The period runs until Sunday 4th November 

Voting begins on the election Monday 12th November and closes Monday 26th November. 

As for a previous query on here, DN will step down after his two year period ends in November, not at the end of the season. 

Full details and election rules are available to download from their website. 

Not much in the rest of the update. Meet the manager night being arranged next month and £2 spend for October is just being finalised.

It may now be prudent that the Club board do not be seen to endorse any of the candidates

You'd think?

even if they manage to resist compromising the election, Scott has a veto on whoever wins.

They won't endorse any of the candidates, not seen any evidence they did for DN.

Regardless of GLS having a veto, he won't likely use it. Him having a veto is not only acceptable, it would be down right ridiculous if he didn't ,given how much financial exposure he currently has to get the deal through.  A genuine St Mirren hero, selflessly and without profit , moving us to fan ownership deserves safeguards.  My opinion anyway.

Whether he has a veto or not, should he ever invoke it, would he not then be going against the choice of SMISA ? , who are the only ones at the moment who can discharge him of his financial exposure .

A educated choice made after careful consideration by the members of SMISA of all the  candidates.

Because at the end of the day, he is eventually going to pass the reins over to the fans and either watch his club crash and burn or flourish under fan ownership.

Best for those inclined to step up for election to gain experience along side him and the other board members than be deemed unsuitable OR just let him "veto" away indefinitely and stay in the front seat of the rollercoaster.

I really think it's a moot point. Talking about GLS Veto is like talking about the queens right to claim any property in the UK as her own. It ain't ever going to happen. LPM often gets bogged down with silly wee irrelevant points, it's his thing. 

The queen is obviously a tongue in cheek example but if you stumped up a six figure sum at your own personal expense after selling off a bunch of your own property, would you not want certain safe guards attached to your money? I would be genuinely surprised at anyone not thinking he had that right.

His safeguard is trusting SMISA to elect a suitably able board member. If he does not trust SMISA and their choice then he may well need to review his future business choices.

SMISA is his only option to get his money back or maybe he would be happy to remain indefinitely as Chairman.

Like I say, it won't happen. It's a complete non-issue,. Whoever gets voted will be on the board. When the deal was signed off and the veto was put in, it was a safeguard nothing more. 

I feel you might be focusing on a very small detail here tbh.

The small detail is SMISA being able and allowed to prove it has the talented individuals able to stand and be accepted both short and long term by the club and its fans.

Which they are, they're entitled to do it and that's exactly what is going to happen. 

When the deal was put in place a contract was drawn up. Like  any other contract, terms and conditions exist to cover a wide range of possibilities. GLS reserving the right to veto a BOD member for a club that he owns is one of those terms.

I don't see why it's a bad thing, realistically it won't be exercised however if the deal had soured, I can see why he'd want to retain that right and don't see why anyone would want to chastised him for that.

What if SMISA voted LPM, would he veto that?

God I'd hope so haha! 

That would be a perfect example where I would fully support a Veto. If a majority number of SMISA members had clearly had some sort of mental breakdown during the voting process. :lol:

It is written into his agreement with Smisa. I suppose if the members wanted to they could challenge it as a shareholder with over 25%.it would be messy.

It won't happen so so it won't get messy.

They will be able to meet their obligation though, it's a non-issue

SMiSA also has a veto built into the contract as has GS buts not on the election of an individual  board member its about who is chairman of each business.

It's time members had full information  at their grasp before elections and AGM s if they are to run the club.
