    O'Donnell and Shaw. The story of our season.  

     

    Aye, O'Donnell has a stinker today, as he has most of the season. Occasionally has a good game but they are getting more more rare.

     

    Shaw pulling level with the great Casagolda as biggest fraud to pull a wage from us.

    Barmack said quite clearly that he did not want to disempower the Society. In fact he was all for supporting it and helping it grow, working in a partnership. Without providing any evidence, the Scotsman journalist is essentially calling him a liar. The whole tone of the article could almost convince me it was written by Steelboy, or at the very least he had input. Perhaps we now know his ‘in the know’ source.

    At the end of the day Members will decide whether or not to accept any investment offer. So the Society is in a position of strength.  If Barmack suddenly declares he wants majority control, then that vote will likely go against him. And what can he do if the Society does reject his offer?

    Let’s wait until we see the full terms of any offer. Then the fans will decide. Steelboy and McCafferty are trying to stir up unrest without any real evidence to support their allegations. Throw enough shit and some will stick appears to be the plan. If there is any basis in their fears then all will become clear in due course. 

     

     

    It does read like they are looking for that "gotcha" moment.

     

    I am in a weird middle ground. I am all for someone coming in and guiding us in a new direction, with the caveat that if they get bored we we are protected from them selling us off as spares and repairs (which is what the 50+1 does however can totally see why this would put an investor off). Outside of that, I am open to the idea of them having more control if that's what it takes. 

    In terms of this particular potential investor, I do like the fact they are not just looking to shovel money in and are actually interested in being hands on. However, I also see why some in the Well Society see that as a threat to the "its my baw" status quo we are currently in. 

     

    TLDR: Fence sitting etc etc

    An insight to our potential investor 

    A good read and comes across well, making the right noises, although you could argue thats his job to do that.

     

    I do strongly believe (and have done long before this) that football, especially Scottish football does like to stick to the old "thats how we've always done it" mantra and having an outside eye that not only sees modern opportunities but has the ability to act on it can only be a good thing. 

    As a long-time F1 fan I have seen the almost instant impact DTS has had on the sport and other than the few gatekeepers I would say the old fan base has embraced the new fans coming in and the new lease of life it has given the sport (and increase in revenue to go along with it). If this is the sort of thing we can be looking at then it can only bode well in my eyes.

    I am as sceptical as the next guy about new investors, but given the choice, this is the kind of person we should be looking at.

    Jili Buyabu has returned to his parent club for “personal reasons”.

    What the actual fuck is going on with our club and recruitment strategy?? This season alone we have our best player suddenly recalled in January then sent elsewhere on loan, we loan in Oli Shaw, cancel his loan then re-loan him and now this boy’s loan is cancelled less than a month in.

    Absolute clusterfuck.

    Don't know the circumstances of this one but over all aye, amature hour.
