pod Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 1 hour ago, Dickson said: Well you'd hope so but the fact that you, as a SMISA member, are asking that question at all shows just how rash the 91% appear to have been. SMISA were reportedly paying for the drafting of the legal agreement from membership funds yet they didn't publish it for their members to look over before recommending the deal to their members and opening the vote. On that count, your totally wrong. Was never convinced enough to join the bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of doubling down on your stupidity, just hold your hands up and admit you don’t know what you’re talking about I put my hands up when wrong. I won’t when I’m right. If that’s an illness a lot of people on here are clear because they’re completely incapable of admitting when they’re wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much all your concerns regarding the initial scheme have came out as wrong and you’ve been campaigning to keep it for weeks now. 😅 I completely agree St Mirren having your name on that wall is an embarrassment though. One of our most counterproductive fans in history with his name on the boards of supporters that gave/ will give us fan ownership. Cringed.

ford prefect Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 None of that first paragraph is relevant because that's not the point I was raising. You think everyone is stupid except you. You think everyone is incompetent except you. You believe both of these things are true across multiple disciplines. Classic narcissism. Yes I think you have an illness.Or he just does it because he's bored. He's admitted as much to a mutual acquaintance who asked him why he takes extreme contrary positions on everything. This was about 15 years ago and he's still at it. I have no idea what satisfaction anyone would get from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybee Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 2 hours ago, Dickson said: 3 hours ago, jaybee said: The right to veto "any major decisions at the club". in my view; and that of many others I would imagine, is a safeguard that precludes knee jerk reactions to potential future events within the club. I welcome an organisation with a history of surviving and prospering (in difficult times) and whilst I appreciate that Kibble is not here primarily to aid St MIrren; in my opinion it is not here to do it any harm either. As many have pointed out the Kibble directors have a duty of care to their organisation and it would be ludicrous to imagine they bought their way into a football club simply to sabotage it. The scenario that they outlined in respect of adding to their training options for their clients through being partners with the club would appear to be win win for both parties, if they can reduce costs and improve output / quality through their training programmes and bring their expertise in business management to the club, ultimately it should make St Mirren a leaner and meaner business, maximising resources is and has been at the heart of Kibbles operational management for many years. Will they interfere in 'football business'? why would they? Would they have issues should the current board wish to mortgage the club / stadium to banks? (hypothetical scenario here, so don't go ballistic). Yes I rather think they would, and such a scenario is why I think they are a good partner. Fair enough jaybee. It's your opinion and it may well prove to be correct. My point is that it was naive of the SMISA membership to vote the proposal through without sight of the legal agreement and without answers to even the most basic and pertinent of questions. Questions like what benefit will St Mirren get from this have been glossed over without too much detail. Questions asking for detail of how Kibble will get a return on investment on their £300k have been glibly brushed away with a story about how Kibble need to find something for their young trainees to do. And questions like why do Kibble need the enhanced veto are dismissed as irrelevant and left open for fans supposition and guesses. History shows that similar situations have gone badly wrong at other Supporter Trust clubs. I might well be being overly suspicious but is it really ludicrous to think that if the Third Party take the route of frustrating the majority shareholders will at every turn, they might be able to force the majority shareholder to buy the shares back off them with a suitable profit margin given they've got the club and the fans over a barrel. From what I have read and heard in the video there is a requirement inserted into the agreement that mandates that St Mirren get first refusal on Kibbles shares should they wish to sell them AND at the price paid for them. I would think that is as as good a guarantee as is possible to get. Although I will admit that if anyone is going to get shafted through believing what people say...... it will always be me. I watch, listen and weigh up what has been said and then decide, mostly I am correct, but unfortunately NOT always. Nevertheless I would rather be this way than an out and out cynic.
