CALDERON Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Gordon Smith acting as an advisor, and potential investors would be keen for him to stay on in some capacity. Strangely, I'm not overly worried. Club needs investment, and we need an end game re Sim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 The involvement of Gordon Smith is a big red flag for me. I wouldn't trust that man one bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heid_The_Baw Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Ach a new investor means we can kick the liquidation can doon the road a bit. Hopefully meanwhile they invest in the squad and get u s a wee stint in the SPL SPFL Whatever they call it now top league. Maybe see some Asian prospects being sent to try out at windswept cold San Starko. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, it’s that grim. Terrible mismanagement and an awful manager. Sorry that was a wee bit unfair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 We'll definitely need more details, but shivers are already running down my spine. At this stage, all I'm interested in is motive. What does a deeply opaque Hong-Kong/Seychelles based investment group want with a Championship football club? There's a YouTube interview with the founder, Peter Chun, who's mentioned in the BBC article, and he's talking about how Silverbear Capital are working with billions etc etc. If you take him at face value, the football club doesn't even have enough assets to make it worth their while asset-stripping. So is it just a passion project for him? If so, why? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 The worst case scenario is we can just start again debt free in the EOS. Bring it on, not like we’ve been going anywhere under the current bunch of owners so I’m willing to spin the dice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offshore Rover Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Let’s face it, we knew sim was going to sell at some point as he’s not exactly a young gun nowadays. But I wonder if him coming out publicly about wanting sell us a bit of a “f*** you” to the supporters. He’s never been the most popular of people with his outbursts in interviews and statements, even more so this year in January … So this makes me think he’s went ‘ah well, you don’t like me? Fine, take your club and shove it’. Toys out the pram vibes. Anyway, I’m all for a new owner. I’d rather an investor than fan owned at this point in time. In the future maybe fan owned is the best but for now it will give us all something to look forward/worry/talk about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is it just a passion project for him? If so, why? f**k all regulation regarding ownership? Relatively low starting money required vs. Even English tier 5? Not enough fans to stop you doing whatever the hell you like? We're fucked either way. What is the Trust position on this? Do they have any inclination to try and do a fan buy out? If they did and succeeded we'd likely settle down into the Nether regions of Scottish football. If this goes ahead we likely implode 6 months or 5 years down the line and start looking forward to our derbies with Cowdenbeath in the EoSL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
