My point is better finances maybe would have meant we could have taken around the amounts RC & Hamilton took. Saved the club best part of £500k. Remember we took this loan and the club also made a loss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve said many times the club needs a reset both on and off the pitch, with the role of the Trust hopefully improving within this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a good reason why Ross County didn’t need to take as much as similar clubs - they’re owned by a wealthy individual who’s happy to fund them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger the cabin boy Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Personally I don’t see an issue with taking the government loan. free money you have to pay back after umpteen years, no brainier. However, to me it’s all about how it’s been used. Doubt we’ll ever be given an honest answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is not about the loan per se its the value and what did it cover/pay for given we had losses along side this loan. I am happy to be corrected on the amount of clubs that took it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Got 800 odd pages and 6 years of this thread to catch up on, anyone got a summary? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Up till covid we were being run pretty well, still had the Dykes money helping us out too. The back to back top 6 finishes and cup final was during covid restrictions too, which was shite, we'd have made a bundle from that in normal seasons. Then we gambled the next 2 seasons just missing out on top 6 on the final pre split games, and those narrow margins cost us with the extra money we'd put into our budget. All ifs and buts now, it was historically our longest period in the top flight, so difficult to see it as a failure by those in charge, and there's lots of factors involved bringing us to where we are now, i think the blame can be spread around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice little read though, thanks pal. I get my info from good sources. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice little read though, thanks pal. I get my info from good sources. Ha it seems like it's all gone full circle and to the FF earlier point the constant seems to be the current club Chairman. Club losses, ownership issues, legal challenges galore and he isn't even a shareholder. It can't be everyone else's fault and the people running the club are all the innocent ones. Business doesn't run like that. Roll on Lord Braid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that a Raith fan is so bothered by us, unless they're still smarting from us getting Marv, Toastie and Steve Tosh from them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
