Magic Monkey Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Feckin massive majority, that. I reckon Lord Pityme's incessant bleating helped to persuade a lot of folk to vote 'yes'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Quote We thank everyone who cast their vote over the past fortnight on our proposals to deliver fan ownership in partnership with Kibble. Voting closed at noon today and the results are as follows: YES – 782 votes (91.6%) / NO – 72 votes (8.4%) Turnout 71.9% The results have been verified by Alan Russell, Chief Executive of Supporters Direct Scotland, whom we thank for his assistance. The proposals on which you voted were developed over many months of discussion between ourselves, Kibble and St Mirren. We put them forward because of our belief they offer the best possible future for our club – by securing fan ownership in a way which could move St Mirren to the next level, on and off the park, while growing it as a force for good within the Paisley community. We are proud of and excited by what this deal makes possible for our club, and are pleased it attracted such overwhelming support. All involved will now look to complete the legal formalities of the deal, which will allow Kibble to buy their stake in the club from Gordon and start working with the club board to bring their expertise to the club very soon. Thank you again for your ongoing support. As always, we can be reached via [email protected] The SMISA committee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Saints Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 it appears the ONLY no voters were the handful posting on here. As I said all along it turned out exactly as I expected. The massive, passive silent majority carried it overwhelmingly. We move on to an exciting new chapter a whole lot quicker than anticipated (oh and please no one shout fix / rigged etc with that sort of landslide vote !!!)

Wilbur Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I do like a vote that is passed by more than 50% of the eligible voters rather than one passed merely by a majority of those who bothered to vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaksoft Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Like I said before, it would have needed someone other than LPM to make the case for No for any credible opposition to emerge. Surprised to see such a one-sided result though. Thankfully time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrin Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Ah well... As a Saints supporter I am used to not always winning. I wonder how many Buddies voted for it as a means giving up the subs quicker...? That passed through my mind but I wasn't tempted. I hope this doesn't go the same way as Kibble's project Oskar. I'll be watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Pityme Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Game's a bogey!Well done to Kibble, they have secured a licence to print money for themselves. Going forward I would expect Kibble's 'Expertise' will enable them to consolidate & expand their control of the club.Let's face it... who is going to stop them?

Lord Pityme Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 [emoji23]There you go, if you wanted evidence of how this proposal was always going to create a divide there it is with a pathetic, but predictable response.

Lord Pityme Posted February 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 The fans. What good is a club without fans. If the smisa membership didn't think it was the wrong proposal now, then with Kibble effectively calling the shots, the apathy/go with the flow acceptance will mean they can pretty much do as they wish.Some of which could be good for the club, some.. not so.

It will only create a divide if those on the losing side refuse to accept the democratic result. You deserve a bit of teasing for the way you have behaved over all of this but frankly everyone else will be moving forward, supporting the decision and getting behind the process now. I'd suggest you do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
