The fan ownership proposal has had to change as previously the MSG were happy to dilute their hold on the club. They now want cash. They can’t be bought out and still control the running of the club

The club isn’t up for sale as such. Three separate groups have made offers to buy the club, at least two of which from fans groups who are quite rightly unhappy at the way the club is being run. We currently have 5 players. The people taking over the club know they need to have enough money to sign players good enough to win this league. I’m not convinced you’d make an offer if you couldn’t do that. I’m convinced we’ll be able to better the teams I mentioned but I might be proved wrong

If the choice comes down to signing for us or Alloa, Arbroath, Morton, Dunfermline, Ayr etc etc the deciding factor will be money...nothing else

The silence from the board suggests to me their reign is over, if not they’d have the begging bowl out by now looking for season ticket money. Im confident they will be gone this week

Make no mistake...the most important thing in a players contract is how much they are getting paid. I expect we will be able to better what’s on offer at every Championship club apart from the Dundee clubs and possibly ICT so what league we are in shouldn’t affect us too much. There’s no reason why we can’t build a side more than capable of winning this league once we’ve sorted the issue in the boardroom

As I said earlier I don’t expect them to do the right thing but I do expect them to move on. Think Kenny and David have put together a good proposal so we can only hope.

Can’t see them telling us anything cos it’s got nothing to do with them and the only thing they care about is themselves. They will collect their money and disappear. It will be left to the new guys...whoever they decide that is going to be

100% the board should have communicated everything better. However could this silence not now be seen as a slight positive. It looks to me as if they know there is no way back and are now deciding their exit strategy. No point in them releasing statements and making signings as they are gone. I do not trust them to do the right thing but I am glad it looks as if they are on the way out. I might be wrong but I believe the next statement will be next week when it is announced who is taking over the running of the club then things will start to move

Yes I think that’s pretty obvious

If this is true and he was to get his wish, I'm assuming he would have a few young guys as part of the squad as well? 15 seems a very low number for a squad I think this is on top of the 5 we already have and I think we still have 1 or 2 youngsters on the books. So possibly a squad of 20-22?

Would that budget not be similar to what we pay just now? I’m guessing most of our players are on somewhere between £500 and £800?? Smaller squad, some on lesser money might not be too dissimilar? I’m not sure just trying to work out if this is realistic or not

Hi guys. Never really posted in here but was getting bored of the “my c*ck is bigger than yours” debate so thought I’d try and change the subject. Not expecting much to happen until the shambles in the boardroom is sorted but hearing Ray has asked for 15 players. 10 on bigger money, circa £1000 a week with 5 on lesser dough of around £400 or £500. If true and we can budget for this then no reason why we can’t build a decent side
