Clyde fans on P&B suggesting that we are in for Jordan Allan, Falkirk striker.

The thing about all this is, the fans want to support the club. People want to buy tickets, they want to just support a normal club. All the board need to do is not be petulent, incompetent, puffed up small-town losers but they can't because that's what they are.

Cameron Ferguson training with us today. Jake Davidson back as well.

Goalkeepers - None Defenders - Nikola Ujdur, Remi Savage, Danny Devine, Lewis Nicholson MIdfielders - Charlie Gilmour, Luis Longstaff Forwards - Billy Mckay, Adam Brooks that's our confirmed players for the season. We might also have Jake Davidson for another year? Ross MOrrison said in his interview on the podcast that the "young lads" had been offered new deals. The players we had out on loan last season are Matthew Strachan - defender, Nairn County Sam Nixon - defender, Forres Mechanics Jack Walker - defender, Forres Mechanics Calum MacLeod - midfielder, Clach Keith Bray - midfielder, Elgin Calum Mackay - midfidler, Clach Robbie Thompson - forward, Spartans Ethan Cairns - forward, Banks O'Dee No idea of their ability or potential, other than Bray who looked pretty useful early last season. All these players are 18 or 19 years old.

Is pre-season training starting today? Is Ferguson back? Any trialists, new players?

I bet we get a statement today. Please buy season tickets Togetherness, lets all get together buy season tickets Please The "investors" are still talking, honest.

It's easy to blame one person and use Gardiner as a lightning rod but could no-one else involved do something about this? Could the manager not have taken responsibility? Could someone from the board of directors not have phoned him? Graham Bennett must know how important a player Aaron Doran has been to the club, could he not say something? Regarding his operation, Doran even named another director, Panos Thomas, as having fobbed him off with medical advice. It's all well and good saying Gardiner is responsible but Gardiner reports to the board and they are ultimately holding the bag. The whole board is responsible. If the "hugely positive" talks with investors come to something then the entire board of directors should be replaced immediately. A bunch of incompetent, arrogant, puffed up losers.

We must be coming back for pre-season training this week.

I bet they release a statement confirming administration after the game has kicked off tonight.

Now, we take the money, put it all on a horse at 3:40 from Kempton to come in at 10/1. Save the club.

If the club survives (and I think it's the less likely option at this point) all the people who've been involved in this need to go. The entire current board are complicit in what has happened and what is going on.

It's almost like the club has gone out of business already. Just an appalling way to treat anyone, let alone one of our longest serving players.

Yeah they sound great. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/777_Partners#Controversy

I think some people have thought that going into administration is just a car-wash way to write off debts and emerge shiny and new. It is very far from that. We would have points deductions for the next two seasons. There would be issues with getting an SFA license. Would we be able to submit our accounts, which we are also required to do to get a license to play in the SPFL. It's a desperate statement to be honest. It mentions that we are either looking for investors or owners - the club isn't owned by any one person to sell, if someone wants to own it they need to buy the holdings of several different people at once. What would investors be funding? Are they just pouring money into the money hole? We are repeatedly told that there are other people involved with the club who would be interested were it not for the financial obligations to creditors, ie Ross Morrison. Are these guys going to step up or not? People saying stuff like "we need Gardiner gone" etc. Gardiner going doesn't change the circumstances of the club in the immediate future.

The other point about administration is that the administrators are not there to ensure that we can continue and be a good team or get a community focused club back. They are there to secure money for the creditors and if that means liquidating the business and selling all the assets, that's what they do. You also need someone to take the club out of administration - do we have that?

If we don't have signed off accounts then we can't get a license to play in the league, so I understand. Lots of press people (Scott Burns, Kheredine Idessane) posting that a statement is imminent and it's bad news. I'd guess either admnistration, going part-time, loads of redundancies or other misery.

If the Kelty move is off due to fan pressure, they need to let people know so that people can arrange to buy season tickets. This whole shambles could be an opportunity to galvanise the fanbase, re-engage them. As it stands, we don't know who the chairman is, we don't know what players have been given deals, we don't know if the manager is going to stay around, we don't know if we are going into administration.

Loads of people saying that stuff has happened, nothing coming out. When are our accounts due out?

Kelty don't own the pitch they are going to rent us https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/exclusive-kelty-hearts-don-t-own-pitch-earmarked-for-caley-351962/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter You have to laugh.

You can't make the manager redundant, I assume we are still going to need one of those.

Don’t know the details of those groups but the Trust owns about 10% of the voting rights in the club. Maybe that changes legal responsibilities. I don’t know but it seems possible. Reading accounts of the meeting a few people at the meeting said they’d prefer administration to this but administration is not a panacea. It’s entirely possible that administrators could look at the situation and wind the club up.

Harper is gone. We get a development fee I think.
