"Livingston are pleading with supporters to help the First Division club with their financial problems."

"The board wants fans to make donations at Almondvale to help pay off creditors and deal with what the club are calling "short-term cash flow issues."

Why dont the just do a gretna and be done with it? they forever jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.

It just goes to show that every team which comes down to the 1st division gets hit BIG TIME with money

They were sponsored by 'Intelligent Finance' so begging from people hit by the recession should be an easy steal. In real danger of administration.

For me, what the heck is the SPL, SFL and SFA doing to protect clubs from rogue owners such as Gretna, Hearts and Livingston. Seems like anyone can come in, run up bills and then bail.

If i were the Livi fans I wouldnt put a penny into the club unless the present owners agreed to leave asap

One thing i dont get is why there chairman took so many players into the club and new manager and coaching team and then leave to go back to italy for a few months and not even pay anyone at the club. Why did he waste money?? I dont even think he is short of money he just can be fecked running a football club

They need ?300,000 rent money by June so are asking season ticket holders to get their money in pronto and for others to make a donation to raise this amount.

'Good money after bad' comes to mind!

The slighty mad Angelo Massone has appeared on the Livi forum shouting at fans and posting bizarre messages about the club, the fans trust and the current cash flow problems:

Must be awful having some mad lunatic destroy your club and be able to do so little about it.

fecking brilliant!!

Talk about washing your dirty linen in public !!

This has to be read to be believed!! amazing!

His rants have appeared in the Daily Record now -> Daily Record

And it had all started so well for them -> Massone with his first LiviLions post

That thread also confirms it is in him in case anyone has doubts.

Added link for Daily Record.

Do we not have some muppets who could keep him company?

FOC

That thread is aff the scale!

Some fantastic heads in the sand post from Livi fans:

(Without gettting scary people) Angelo, insde of me is a thing I cannot describe. A beating, living thing, maybe my heart, maybe my soul. I cannot tell where it or where the 'energy' comes from as sometimes the beating is so loud, it is all of me. But I DO know what it is. It's my unbreakable spirit. Something that not even death can deter. There is not a force in the universe that can break it down. I am completely focussed and exist only to serve those I love and care about. I have always felt this, and believe this now. I'll never break.

Now I say without doubt or fear of the 'others' feeling and ideas, you are beginning to act like a man to admire. See it all the way through and you will turn everything around. You have to pay all the peole who have a legitimate claim. You can make this work and if not, then you must at least give it your best shot. You have apologised and acted like a humble servant of L.F.C. and I am impressed.

FFS the rent on the house is neither here nor there in big scheme of things.

I'd bet your buddy Flynns helicopter stunt cost a damn sight more than Massones house, never mind the constant legal fees.

Get a grip and have a word wi yerself!!

Interesting poll running on the Livi Lions site. Basically a simple yes or no poll asking fans if they want Massolini to go:

I wonder if thats really him?

Just think, If someone at our club did that, oh what carnage... IHE'ers dream come true....

I wonder if thats really him?

It is. Look further up this thread (about 4 or 5 posts) and you will see a link to confirm it is him.

Livi pay there bill

Hope they don't go bust. This season anyway. I've already booked my Travelodge for game in January, and I don't see any other reason to go to Livingston.

This is the kind of thing that happens at clubs where fans are given no recognition or representation.

I don't see any other reason to go to Livingston.

Good shopping centre

Go to Edinburgh.

Angelo Massone was on the Livi Forum. There is a poll asking if the fans think he should go.

He voted "NO" himself... his IP address has been traced their is no doubt it is him!!

You couldn't make this stuff up!!

Livi are hardly out the woods yet. Another 270k in rent arrears to find by end of month, or it's insolvency...
