Fair enough with Scot Young, he does seem to care about the Club. I would standby the statement that he is out of his depth in a football Club sense. In the year or so he has been in his various positions, with his fresh eyes he had the perfect opportunity to raise any issues with the CEO or other board members. I understand he hasn’t put any money into the club as other directors have, it now seems he is calling the shots in terms of admin etc. Is he really the best person to be taking the club forward. Nice guy, but SLO at most.

The current Chairman and what’s left of the current board are part of the problem. They may be nice enough people, but they are absolutely out of their depth in terms oor running a football club. That’s why the former CEO could go about unchecked.

They only train a few hours a day, no where near 40 hours a week. They start late and finish early in the day.

Including playoffs he had over 30 games to just keep us up…….. he didn’t.

Do you remember relegation from the Championship?

Exactly….. they wouldn’t be made redundant, they would just utilise their coaching skills within thier existing salary or a renegotiated one. No need to fire or hire ?!

More likely Scott Kellagher and the coaches from the academy is what the administrators will say can be afforded. Tough Times! Does admin mean you are not allowed to hire / sign anyone else until you are clear of administration?

How many are there?

Didn’t manage to get to this match, but it sounded like decent performance from those who were there. We took the lead which is something we are not in the habit of doing recently and seemed more up for it than in recent weeks. I did see DF,s post match interview, positive in support of the players, but seems to be resigned to not being able to stay in L1 if admin happens. Surely that’s the very point at which expectations are reduced and it’s a great opportunity to galvanise the team and supporters for the battle of our lives! Not sensing much fighting spirit from him. Maybe he knows he’s off whether it’s his decision or others!

Don’t really care what your point is. I will lay blame at all those who over a number of years continued to spend money the club didn’t have. Why have an accountant? CEO, board etc, if they are not going to carry out their jobs professionally and seriously annd in the best financial interests of the club. All in my opinion are culpable!

I know for a fact the club has an accountant. I know for a fact that an additional accountant was brought in from Orion Group to assist this person. I accept that challenges may have been made to the previous CEO or that person didnt feel able to do so. The original accountant and the one from Orion have an office in the club.

There is a Club accountant who must have had to process all the outgoing payments. Surely the accountant should have raised the alarm to the board if one person was spending more money than was in the accounts. As guilty as the rest of them for not challenging the CEO over years!!!!!

Perhaps trying to justify his position.

I’m sure he has been trying…… he is just not very good at getting anything out of this group of players .

I think it’s the date by which HMRC and wages have to be submitted for processing and payment.

Not all local suppliers have been paid off. I know of one local company ( who I won’t name), who didn’t want ( couldn’t afford), to turn their debt owed by the club into equity/ shares as Alan Savage wanted. I don’t think it is the only one. This is why Alan thought he might be able to clear the debt, but has now realised this is not the case. Perhaps a question to ask at the meeting tomorrow and to understand fully what the crowd funding money is going to be used for. Paying off debt and or paying wages & running costs. Of course bringing in the administrators isn’t cheap either as their daily fees are steep.

Is there nothing this club can do right. Did anyone make an assessment as to how many people might want to turn up, then add press and other interested parties then come up with a venue to suit? Instead they have capped numbers and hoped for the best. They owe fans, shareholders, season ticket holders answers to some searching questions. This might be their way of trying to limit that!!! Seriously not good enough.

It would be good if at the meeting on Monday if someone could ask what this 200k is actually for. Is it wages, bills , puma contract, legal fees , administrators fees, paying off directors loans ?????? People so far seem to be putting some cash in, but how will it be spent? Also if the target is not raised and admin does happen, do contributors get their money back or do administrators get it? Hope this get clarified before I decide if I can afford to give something.

I,ll stop & start where I like. You seem such an expert as you played a wee bit back in the day. I will leave it there.

You’re right, I have never played the game. I work in the NHS. I think the travel time to Ayr is under 4 hrs. In the D&E coach the club use with cooking facilities, tables, reclining seats,toilet etc, hardly a hardship. Pre match meal, play the game , back up the road with food on the coach. Not exactly a hard shift. Doesn’t seem to enhance their performance, regardless who is paying!

Overnight accommodation for where ???? A Championship now league 1 club in Scotland. Hardly huge distances to travel for a draw !! Talk about living outside of the means of the club. Get your money in to crowdfund this unnecessary expense!

Too much for what he does !

Oh what a laughing stock this club has become! Best of luck anyone flinging their money into this lot !!!

Absolutely agree he seems more grounded and engaged than other directors. I understand he has not put a penny into the club, so why is he now in a position to preside over the club given he was in a great position to challenge the previous regimes actions. Was it because he was appointed by RM & SG ???
