The club would be absolutely nothing without the supporters so to say those things about us is absolutely disgraceful Absolutely It has angered me more than any other thing that’s happened this season. And if it happened then fine, but then the question must be why were people not aware of it and why did the club not make a massive issue of it. Imagine sending death threats to a manager of a football club online and the football club did or said nothing about it. Makes absolutely zero sense So either someone is lying or the clubs not taken it anywhere near as seriously as they should’ve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a good one! Charge - Find and update company information - GOV.UK (company-information.service.gov.uk) There's the charge the Booth's have taken out on one of their properties where it is documented that they have an agreement directly with the club to lease said property. They draw up a long term lease with club to house players. That lease makes it more attractive for a bank to lend them money. Money that can go towards developing the properties at Tarriebank and Inverkeilor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, its the sort of thing I'd expect to see from the club. They use business connections to make sure accommodation is available to players who sign for us. Very sensible. If anything, it would help with recruitment by assuring players that they won't have to worry about househunting themselves, the club will take care of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd maybe be fine if it was transparent and it was actually business connections. As it is, it's actually a director and his brother, now our 'hospitality manager' using club money to secure themselves a guaranteed income and better collateral for bank loans. The details of that agreement between the club and the Booth brothers needs cleared up. What if it's a 10 year lease at £1k per month? Are you still OK with it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the accommodation will be a payment in kind as the paperwork I linked to earlier clearly states that the property is leased to the club and it's not a tenancy with the players. Very worrying that the thought of Directors potentially syphoning funds out of the club would not be high on your list of concerns though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont let him live rent free in your head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
