the cry was no

Correct.
The "snakes" have converted £10s millions of their personal cash to equity - without them God knows where we would be.
The competency of our exec board is entirely another matter

From the Jun 21 accounts
The Club carried out further share issues during the year, converting £26.1m of shareholder loans to equity and further strengthening the Balance Sheet. The open share issue available to fans and investors in July 2021 will fall into the next set of results.
We'd be absolutely fucked without the £10s millions the investors have stumped up
Snakes though

Nothing.  The main board directors don't take any money.  Only the executive directors who are salaried.
 

The abuse directed at Bassey after the cup loss at St Mirren was mental.
He gave away a naive penalty and some were saying he should never play again
18 months later we sold him for £19m rising to £23m with add ons
Alan Hutton was nearly booed out of Ibrox before he settled and earned us £9m
Young players need support and encouragement - some of the vitriol aimed at Tillman is embarrassing. As Lundstram points out he is a real talent and needs support not abuse

Both Doig and Ferguson went to Italy for £3m.
You can be absolutely certain that neither the sheep nor Hibs would have sold them to us for the same as they 1) hate us and  2) know the situation with the association trained market
We had 3 association trained (Jack, Arfield and Wright) so only really had room for 1 more.
Given his injury record I'd doubt Souttar will be on a fortune, tops £8k so a 4 year deal including wages will amount to £1.6m with nothing up front to affect our UEFA FFP numbers. When we signed him he had missed 2 games with a knock all season and was in the Scotland squad and I personally thought it was a clever bit of business. The week after he signed a pre-contract he got injured and has played about 5 times since. He's a good player when fit and might still come good if we get lucky.
For Doig or Ferguson we'd have been £4m+ fee and £10k a week (they'll be on that in Italy) meaning £6m over a 4 year deal. The issue is that neither would be starters if everyone is fit and therefor they didn't represent value imo. 
There's not many association trained players playing in Scotland that catch the eye, represent value etc. Barrie MacKay was available on a fee last Jan and might have been worth a gamble - for me he's better than Wright

Some shower of bellends on here 

Make or break for an 18 year old playing alongside a 22 year old CDM at CL level??
He's an excellent prospect who wouldn't be playing at all if Goldson, Hellander, Souttar and Davies weren't all injured, far less being thrown in next to an inexperienced player playing out of position.
He needs support and encouragement, not thrown to the wolves
He's levels above McCrorie
