The fact that Wilson, Weir and McMahon are stepping back and have suddenly decided fan ownership isn't viable doesn't seem like a coincidence to me. I think they have always viewed fan ownership as a means to allow them to continue to run the club and have probably convinced themselves they are the only people in the support capable of it. They have obviously put a look of work into the club which they should be thanked for but it always has to be remembered that they all worked for Royal Of Bank Scotland and were in prominent positions when it was run into the ground by Fred Goodwin. Bankers will always say the richest person in the room is the one you have to listen to but the vast majority of us aren't bankers and we all should bear in mind who actually paid the bill for Royal Bank Of Scotland going under and who walked away with a lot of money. I think after this week it's clear that the infamous video wasn't aimed at attracting investors as this has obviously been going on for longer than a few weeks. The video was aimed at us to demoralise us and prime us for the suggestion that we need to sell the Well Society shares to whoever is interested. The reason we don't have a CEO is because the two interested parties want to appoint their own people and Weir and McMahon have chosen to prioritise driving through a sale over the day to day running of the club. A manager who can't win a football match with a secret contract, videos that embarrass us and make it seem like the club have no money, vital positions unfilled on and off field and the threat of a bogeyman auditor popping up again. It's all designed to bully us into handing the club over. The Society needs to be proactive and put out some figures that people can actually understand. We have a top 10 budget in the country but everyone I talk to goes on about "no money". We are spending over £5 million a year on wages while being owned by the Society, that doesn't look like "no money" to me. We need a great deal more information about the club's financial status at the moment relative to other clubs and we need it put forward in way that the average society member can comprehend. We also need people to be able to separate the on and off field factors, we can't abandon fan ownership because Kettlewell and Daws are useless in the transfer market.

We had better players 1-11 which got us through the playoff. Their stinking attitude got us into the playoff.

That's the issue. There's no more County at home and Livi at home is post split. Where's the next win coming from? 3 wins in 5 months and no wins all season really where we won an ugly game. We don't have the qualities to grind out a win and we can't outplay any team that's not in meltdown. Dougie Imrie showed everyone how to play against us tonight. We have nothing in the final third to break teams down and Kelly and Butcher are utterly chronic.

They went after losing to Morton and Raith. Maybe someone will step up in the dressing room like wee Lionel and put us out our misery. League record, transfers, cup exits, style of play, youth development, game management, team selection are all dreadful. There's no reason to keep him on unless you think Stuart Kettlewell is bigger than the club.

Power is still a better player than Davor.

He dodged the post match interview. Hopefully he's resigning.

Butcher is totally done. He needs dropped, hopefully Casey can come back in.

Taking Gent off for a guy who has never played senior football was idiotic.

Devine is light years ahead of SOD.

Boy from Sheffield looks way out his depth.

Vale is mince but miles ahead of Bair and Butcher in terms of looking like a footballer.

He's getting schooled by Dougie Imrie. Barraclough and Hammell went for lower league cup defeats. Kettlewell should be following them.

Still playing 5 at the back with no midfield now.

The team look unfit.

Unbelievable that we are set up with soft as shite Spittal and Paton defending that area after the game in Perth where they cost us two goals from corners.

Kelly's position is a joke but Spittal missed the header at the front post as well. He cost us a goal doing that in Perth the other week as well.

Butcher is so slow he has to camp on the 18 yard line every time they get the ball. Liam Kelly special at the corner.

Poor start. Spittal looks off the pace after his efforts on Tuesday. Big Theo is in diddy mode as well.

Tbf they did increase season tickets, fuck the park up and put stupid railings on the stairs the last couple of summers so you never know. I don't use the pie stalls but people around me seem to love them and can't go 25 minutes without one so they must be decent.

We will probably sign him in the summer and extend Obika as well.

The bird on the news said it was coming on then the announcer said it was changed to this loch pish without even an apology. Thank fuck I don't pay the licence fee.

Great performance tonight. Could easily have been 10. Big Bevis to rcb has been a tactical masterstroke. Get the big man a new contract.

No Miller again. Utter shambles.

Even compared to bad teams we were playing awful football. He barely got a pass to feet over about half a dozen games.
