    I had a quick look at our record at Livi earlier in answer to a point @Archie McSquackle made in the "Stadiums You've Never Seen Your Team Win" thread and over the last 10 games we've won 3 drawn 4 and Livi have won 3.

    Our last win there was 2021 when we came back from 1-0 down with Tony Watt and Grimmy scoring.

    It kind of feels like Almondvale is one of those grounds (like McDiarmid) where the fact that we never seem to actually play well there kind of colours people's opinion of things regardless of what the result actually is. Although, there's no doubt that 1-0 loss under Robinson with Bevis playing centre forward was enough to legitimately traumatise anyone.

    That said, I have the absolute fear here as out collection of shitebags couldn't keep weans out a close and seem to go to absolute bits when there are any sort of stakes involved.

    I have seen us win at Livi before but the last 3 or 4 I've been at I am sure have all been draws.

    I think the main issue is that he always lets the game pass him by. He can't hold the ball up to drag us up the pitch, he doesn't offer anything (regardless of opposition) to drag us up the pitch by his work rate. 

    Do I have a personal vandetta against him? No. Do I think he's a complete waste of a shirt? Absolutely. 

    Oh aye a hunner percent. I was just more pissed about the tactics in the time he was on the field.

    Literally every team who are up by a single goal in stoppage time does this whatever the level or opposition so, when Bennett is calling out your point as shite its really time to move on.

    Being so triggered by something that is a pretty bog standard part of the game is pretty funny tbh. 

    Hiding in the corner. Fucking hilarious.

    I really hope that Motherwell retain majority fan ownership.

    To get control from your previous owner was significant. 

    My club St Mirren are majority fan owned and hopefully will stay that way.

    SMiSA were originally looking to secure complete control (minus minority existing shareholders) but did a deal to involve another party (Kibble) which resulted in handing over 27.5% plus a minimum of 2 seats on board. No seats are available to the existing minority shareholders (circa 21%).

    Why could the Kibble partnership not have developed without the need for them to have any shareholding in our club.

    Why is a children’s charity requiring shares in a professional football club? 

    The last few years have been challenging but we seem to be “getting along”. For now….

    I accept that we may face times of uncertainty and will likely be relegated as we have a much lesser budget than most top flight clubs. We are outperforming our resources. 

    But it will (hopefully) remain our club. 

    I hope you too retain your identity within your community as a majority fan owned club. 

    Good luck!

    I hope we stay fan owned too.

    St Mirren though I keep hearing are a bit of a basket case behind the scenes. That and just spending that gov loan.

    Something that crossed my mind kind of relates to @Busta Nut's point about the hierarchy at the club.

    It's maybe one for @JayMFC or Dee so if you'll indulge me, I get it's also maybe not something that you'd want shared on a public forum given we've already seen The Sun run an "exclusive" report that has basically just aggregated some of the detail from posts on here, Steelmen and FPC:

    Anyway, I understand that Dickie and Feely are both on the board of the club and also the WS. Are they part of the discussions/negotiations re: investment on behalf of the WS and it's then fed back to the broader board or is it just being led by McMahon with details being shared on a need to know basis (I thought it interesting that Weir kind of put himself at arms length on Wednesday - he cut the figure of a man scunnered that he was still interim CEO because the board hadn't sorted their shit out but that's a different conversation)?

    Either way, the way it was presented was that the WS were being "kept in the loop" for lack of a better phrase which to speak to Busta's point a few pages back seems a bit backward.

    I realise I'm someone whose posts on here have shown that the more I've heard from McMahon over the past while the less convinced I am but the reason I'm curious is that having McMahon leading this kind of throws a scenario where it's unclear whether the WS (as current majority owners) and any potential investor are on the same page or capable of working together before it goes to a vote.

    Dunno, that doesn't seem to be a particularly healthy starting point should something get voted through the section of the fanbase/membership being discussed above.

    I was basically wondering why McMahon and Weir think they can essentially sell the WS shares. (I know it has to go to a vote etc, but seems weird that it's jumped to this without consultation. )

    I think the point has maybe been lost somewhere.

    No one on here would welcome folks like that in I'm pretty sure it's fine to say. I'm sure it would not even get passed a first round of consideration. 

    However, some folk on here and elsewhere just immediately turn their nose up at online/social media made investors. Not you I should add but a few have straight away. 

    We should consider everything. 

    Anyway, I've made my mind up it's the Reddit guy and Serena. So let's go.

    Just to add to what @Al B said. I know it wasn't specifically about this mob, I just dislike these wee helmets and went on a tangent.
