Was thinking the same but are these two not just the society reps on the board for decision making? Would perhaps make more sense to have a couple of non execs/external board appointments to give an impartial view on the main board

By society type entity I do really mean a corporate/individual to give us a cushion in return for an investment in for example player sales which ultimately has to be our focus on becoming self sustainable

If we did a share option I for one would be onboard with that but I can’t help think we still need another society type entity to offer some level of protection with a view to being fully sustainable on drawing on neither of these entities cover option

Todays result just typifies for me why I have always felt the society model would only work for so long when les Hutcheson extended the deadline time and time again for us to hit the min numbers required to take control the writing was on the wall for me not saying the society doesn’t have a place but a mix of private and fan ownership is the perfect model for me

Don't think Dylan will be the last young prospect that you will see move before the year is out.

What bid was that? Was that the Mexican one under boyle? Think they were Mexicans the way it was described to me was they would look to take a share of the transfer fee as repayment for their investment each year. I’d be all for that if the majority of the transfer fees went into the clubs main pot to be self sustainable I reckon that’s what we are looking for in essence a benefactor that can back us when the society cant My worry with that is would society members switch off their payments more easily if they knew we had a knight in shining Armour in the wings? one of the guys mentioned I know through friends and know he is a massive well fan so can only imagine he has the best intentions for the club

I didn’t see that interview to be fair.

Was told today that 2 EK businessman with US backers are looking to make a bid for a minority stake in the club. Idea would be around providing an interest free credit line each season to the club with a return on investment only through player sales. They are MFC fans and see the Lanarkshire area as having huge potential in growing and developing home grown and US talent and would make separate investment specifically in that area . Not sure if this is one of the reported two offers in todays papers If true the academy is 100% where I would like us to focus on investing over the next 3-5yrs as it should be literally the life blood of our club in helping us become financially sustainable

I fail to believe this was just “forgotten” about to mention to fans or kettlewell. No manager in their right mind would not be aware when his contract extends or ends. it’s clear they missed the boat on announcing it at the time, and were waiting for a string of results to announce it. AGM just came about before the results regardless it doesn’t have a good look on us as a club

He hasn’t signed it but it’s been agreed. Won’t sign it to avoid the backlash but he’s Paisley bound

Best we get used to playing without spittel anyway since he’s off to the MFC B team in Paisley

Ach well at least we know we can beat livi and ross county when it comes to the split 🤦

I feel we have been sleepwalking our way to disaster for a few years now. I am on the understanding that we have been seeking a beneficiary that can provide shortfall funding when we are not self sustainable /propped up by the society for approx 18months now , but has anyone heard any murmurs of anything at all since McMahon and weir came out and said they were looking to step down? even a rumor to give us hope?

Look at our results over the last 20 games now, including a cup exit. Yet folk staunchly defending him. lost 4 inc Scottish cup in a row last season and we sacked our manager manager before that got us top 6 and we sacked him as well. Make it make sense to me please

From what I have been told OX is worse than kelly. Which prob explains why he has never had a look in under the last 2 managers. i hope not though as it’s time for a change between the sticks
