Sure if you go back far enough we've all said things we shouldn't have. I def have. John has apologised. That's plenty imo. I'm backing the chairman. As for Tony what has being 65 got to do with the job he's doing. He's done a great job promoting our club. And he's well respected in the game. So he will make a great Ambassador Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livinginthepast Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 There is a disappointing lack of loyalty and support for one of our own who seems to be in some bother. We have a song. It goes a bit like this. 'We'll go wherever St Mirren go.......... We'll take you on wherever you may be. We are the boys from Paisley' Its one of my favourites as it sums up the 'one for all' spirit of our famous support. I dont really think it means we get into fist fights incidentally. I'm sure you must have joined in. So get behind John. Or if you cant do that then just keep quite, and dont join in that song next time.

I had hardly heard of him until a couple of years ago. He has got himself into this position and let the club, the fans and himself down massively. I don't feel a shred of loyalty is owed to him as he hasn't done anything to gain trust and certainly nothing to earn my respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are not many fans actually live in Paisley these days maybe only 2000 out of our regular support of 3200 live in Paisley We have lost connection with the town ,no club shop ,no lottery in the Piazza , 99% of the people in town have no idea who will be playing at the next game ,or when it is.

It's far from a nothing affair. The derogatory remarks were far from funny. It was unbecoming and reckless of him and in my opinion makes him unsuitable to be the figurehead of the club that I have supported for many years. By his stubbornness to voluntary resign he is continuing to allow this to fester. I cannot believe fellow Directors have not taken appropriate action to remove him from his position.

When you add in the state of the club in so many areas this could be a blessing in disguise, get rid and get someone in who has a clue how to run a football club.
