It gets worse in 1995 with outstanding debt of £3.2M. I’ve not checked all the available accounts so maybe there is a worse year. When the Gilmour led consortium sold to @GLS and SMISA the picture was as follows: Now I’m no fan of every decision that @SGG and his consortium made but by fcuk they saved our club from administration and possibly liquidation. Gilmour and his consortium are far more important to the history of our club than Shuggie Murray’s goal at Forthbank or Fitzpatrick’s success as the formal club captain lifting the Scottish Cup in 1987. 17 hours ago, Jockmd said: He only saved the bloody club! https://www.theguardian.com/football/2009/sep/07/st-mirren-shares-sale-scottish-premier-league I openly acknowledged his important intervention at the beginning of my post. We are in a totally different situation now and don't require the biscuit tin mentality that was needed then. Horses for courses. He could have destroyed all he worked for toward the end of his tenure because he was "tired" of the association. He should not be involved now in the same way others who also put their money where their mouths were at the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He helped to launch a share issue on the club to raise funds on the belief that we were being sold to a shady character. Hundreds of other people, along with SGG, bought shares at the same time. Following the share issue SGG started to acquire shares from the existing largest shareholders to increase his personal shares in the company. All the names of those shareholders are on Companies House along with the number of shares they purchased. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full of egos and dodgy shysters. I believe they refer to themselves as C level executives. C stands for cnuts! Thats a bit harsh on yourself, were you not once, in a precious alias, a member of the SMISA board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santaponsasaint Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 That could statement would be advised to be removed for obvious reasons. With people losing jobs, homes, etc because of stupid decisions made by politicians that could come back to haunt him!There's nothing I said that wasn't said at an open meeting.Sent from my SM-S906B using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldorf34 Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 Could somebody ask about the dome ? Apart from anything else money is now leaving the club to go to other venues being used for community programmes and camps during school holidays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
