  1. I think the pertinent issue is that we are about to go into our second summer without a full time CEO. Weir is only hanging around in the hope of giving the club over to private investors for buttons.
  2. They haven't been looking for a CEO at all since well before Christmas.
  3. As I understand it they stopped looking for a new CEO when they started talking to potential new owners.
  4. If he stays on after both setting a deadline to leave and refusing to look for a full time CEO it will be utterly absurd. We really need a Q&A Society meeting to find out exactly what is going on.
  5. It's worth remembering that the club has turned a profit overall since it became fan owned. It's also been less than 2 years since we were in a strong enough position to undertake a large infrastructure project. I can't help but feel that the We're Skint video and the talk of a black hole and SPFL deadline are designed to deflect from that.
  6. That's a very good point that no one in the Society has addressed. The suggestions about a takeover from various places involving new shares effectively amounts to giving over a controlling interest for free. That might not be the case but it's went very quiet on the takeover front.
  7. Usually in fitba you get what you pay for. It's been said that the women's team costs the club £250,000 a year. It's not sustainable to be aiming to have a first team breaking even and an academy running at profit while carrying a women's team that is always going to be loss making. The tail is wagging the dug.
  8. I just had a look at the SWPL table and it's noticeable that three of the clubs we are chasing for the top 6 don't have a top division women's team. That's surely handing St Mirren, Dundee and Kilmarnock a financial advantage over us? If the Society is going to be asking the support to dig deeper then they have to make sure we aren't throwing money away. There's been a lot of talk about Kilmarnock getting KVV but when you consider how much more we spend on the pitch plus training facilities over them then it's obvious how they can afford it. It gives them a clear competitive and financial advantage and it would cost us nothing to try and get the rules changed to even that out. To actually have any say on these issues the society would need to have the majority on the club board. It's not feasible to be asking members to put in money to be effective junior partners to people who are putting in nothing.
  9. Big Bevis has been superb recently. I'm struggling to see us signing two centre backs better than him in the summer. Keep him and replace Butcher.
  10. Let's hope history isn't about to repeat itself......
  11. I'm not sure that's the case. Nevin was overly generous with contracts but the bottom line is he working to a budget until Boyle pulled the rug from him. We were pretty much put into Admin at the exact same time Boyle founded Zoom Airlines. I don't think the timing is a coincidence and it looks like he just decided to stop spending money on a football club and sank it into an airline instead.
  12. Halliday on the radio saying Casey should have been booked. If anything it's a foul to us. Has anybody got the fine list from earlier on in the season? I'd say that's about 6 weeks wages.
  13. You get told as a kid you get hurt pulling out tackles. McAusland hung a leg in with studs up and turned his head away. Completely his own fault.
  14. I'm getting censored. Already posted about the game.
  15. Best performance in years. Brilliant from everyone. Credit to Kelly for stepping up a level and I hope everyone can acknowledge Mugabi has a bit of quality in him. I'm fed up hearing lazy stereotypes about a nice guy and a mistake in him. He's our best defender.
