KingKirk 26,516 Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 It's clear after yesterday this board aren't going anywhere. Any new investor must fit in with the structure no one person will own the football club. That's good in a way because we will always have people on the board looking after our interests. However it blocks consortiums coming in like the mob that bought Chelsea for example and I think it's in those types of takeovers where the real money is..

There's no big money coming into Scottish football from a consortium. 35 Yard Dangerman and steveger1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERBLOOM 5 Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Having read through this thread, I think the vast majority of people are right. I think that Gilligan’s press conference was a bit of a disaster though - he said something along the lines of “going back to who our other candidates were” for the CEO, so the people who weren’t better than the St Mirren vice chair and Kibble CEO. I’m not holding my breath that things will get better any time soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right but that stance taken buy our board puts a end to it. It puts a end to serious money being put in at all tbh even from current investors if they wanted to. Nobody anywhere is bankrolling a football club without a controlling stake. That's the only thing that has me slightly worried after yesterday.

Prevents a Craig Whyte situation, but makes attracting investment difficult. A club of our scale should be able to live within our means, and only rely on loans / investment for strategic projects and not for keeping the lights on. On balance, I’m for the current approach.
