Every single one is complicit and condone the shite. Apart from most of the children. However, if they continue to support when adults then they are just as bad.

melmac Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Should the present SMiSA board incumbents step down if this goes against them? Think David Cameron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woiiftm Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Voted No I signed up to this for full fan ownership, not to reduce the holding and bring in an outside third party. They should have told us of their intentions when they first decided they were pursuing an alternative to the original plan. To suggest we now need a third party for the greater good seems odd, could no-one see that at the start and if not why not ?

Let’s not forget that Kibble are also saving SMiSA members £300K, an average of £250 a head. We probably also shouldn’t overlook the fact that as 51% shareholders, SMiSA will have the majority shareholding of the football club, and thus the football club will be, by definition, “fan owned”. By the end of next year. And its maybe worthwhile remembering that we get the benefit of the expertise and infrastructure of a 140 year old organisation who have a turnover 10 times the size of the club, working with us. And we get all of this, with a partner who is not driven by profit, but rather one that exists to help young people develop and prosper. Blind? Blinded by a personal grudge with the chairman I’d say.

ford prefect Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 There's some people on here who really need arithmetic lessons and some instruction on how percentages work. "Kibble are getting 27% and taking over". Clearly, far from being a recent problem, numeracy standards have been falling for many years in Scotland.

Certainly wrong with your last line, childish accusation.The bottom line regarding the rest of your post is the fact that yet again the smisa membership are made what they believe to be a cast iron promise, only to see that walked back because the club or committee fancy something else!The smisa committee and club didn't tell the potential members during BtB that they didn't have it in them to see the proposal that THEY stood by, through to successful conclusion.All the talk of the things Kibble can do better, really means that the current incumbents...A. Never had it in themB. Just plain lazy C. There was always a plan to water fan ownership down...?Because they told the membership time and again of the dangers to the club of an outside body taking control.So forget what Kibble are good at for one moment, and ask what is failing, and why there is a need to prop the club up immediately?

Lord Pityme Posted February 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Why don’t Stuart Dickson and Lord Pityme make a counter proposal? I thought with Stuart’s mega millions from his business empire it would be easy to find the money. Or we could stick with the one 1300 people signed up to?It's a tough call.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sorry, I’m not sure where I got the idea that you didn’t like Gordon Scott from. I’ll take that back 😂 As far as I can see the SMiSA committee are asking the members to decide on the proposal. If the members don’t back it, then it doesn’t happen. I think this is called democracy. The committee believe this proposal enhances BTB. It’s up to the members to decide if they agree or not. That’s how this is supposed to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fellow SMiSA member you’ve taken the time to weigh up the proposal and have decided it’s not for you. I dont really mind either way if it goes through or not. We will be fan owned with or without Kibble. If it takes a few more years then so be it. I won’t be losing any sleep over it either way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

div Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Just now, Dickson said: Saving £300? Where? Not according to Colin Orr who said at the meeting subscriptions would continue The BTB purchase price will reduce by £300K if the Kibble proposal passes. That is shares that SMiSA no longer need to purchase. 1200 members will thus save themselves £250 a head. SMiSA will always have a membership subscription even after BTB concludes. It always has since the day it was founded. It won’t be at the same level as it is now, because we won’t be saving up to buy a majority shareholding.

I think this is called democracy. The committee believe this proposal enhances BTB. It’s up to the members to decide if they agree or not. That’s how this is supposed to work. Well.. no really. It should require 75% approval to pass. Remember that's what they imposed on Kombibuddie and his proposal was only to (and the smisa committee encourage everyone to put forward proposals) simply add an option to the quarterly £2 vote!Funny that lending the club £15k for the USH wasnt even put to members, or the Raid on their ringfenced funds for £50k to fund a placcy pitch didn't require a 75% pass.And now going back on the agreement that would see the membership lose out on over a quarter of the club doesn't seem to justify a 75% majority to back either.I mean wouldn't that have been the 'Democratic' way to go?Or as more like they are shit scared they'll get nowhere near that 75%.Democracy my ass!
