waldorf34 Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 The Smisa Director on the St Mirren board has a legal duty to put the club's interest first and Smisa and supporters second. This is not what the members envisaged surley . This is a conflict of interest that he is duty bound to avoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He/or she does not become a Director of St Mirren ,merely an observer ,to learn the ropes,and does not vote in any discussion,freeing them to push Smisa and supporters feeling and ideas.

You do realise that would give smisa less influence and input.It would at least remove the "legal duty that you feel they are duty bound to avoid" [emoji3] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a conflict of interest that he is duty bound to avoid. any director that sits on the board of any company is legally bound to act in the best interest of that company. That is a statement of fact. The application of such company director rules is however subjective. The reality is that what’s in the best interest of SMFC should align directly with the best interest of SMISA & fans. You’re creating a problem and a conflict of interest that isn’t there. It isn’t ‘us vs them’ people with that mentality does not help. We all share a common goal, the betterment of our football club. Feels like you’ve been going out your way recently to try fabricate problems for the new director. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it's really odd but you've been posting like this for about a week but for some reason you are adopting a "passive aggressive" role and somehow hoping the rest of us will simply read between the lines and see what you are getting at. Cut the bollox and spit it out man. Exactly who are you accusing and what are you accusing them of? We don't need two LPMs on this forum.

bazil85 Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 SMISA members invited to put themselves forward for club director role. Emails were sent to members on Friday, if anyone is interested they should contact SMISA by 10th July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st jock Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 So SMISA have decided to put forward a Mr. John Needham to be the 2nd director on the board. Dont know much about the guy, but he's a 59 year old that attends many home and away games despite living in Edinburgh and has a wealth of business and customer experience. Checked out his personal statement and am happy with his appointment although I would probably have preferred someone a bit more local that had the ear of the fans. There was a high calibre of applicant and its now over to the smisa members to rubberstamp his appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud the Baker Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Didn't want to start a new thread but I'm curious as to how membership is holding up in the pandemic and if the target is still to get the bizzo completed in the second half of 2021?
