Sting777 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Thing I dont understand is how can you run up a massive deficit if, as we have been told, we have no overdraft or banking facilities!!. Was Colin Weir our go to man for overdraft facilities? Also a major worry now is getting players to join a club which 24 hours earlier was branded a shambles, couldnt afford a bus and had slashed the managers budget. Players read papers!! Everything now points directly at Low for the McGarry article. If it is her, she is a total disgrace!!

Everything now points directly at Low for the McGarry article. If it is her, she is a total disgrace!! 1. it would certainly seem that's where the deficit was going to be covered. no other option i can think of. 2. i think it says a lot about the person who leaked this horseshit, their motives and their disregard for the impact it would have on the Club as a whole. It says more about the folk who swallowed this pish and spent the last 24hours pissing their pants about it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
third lanark Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 30 minutes ago, GrahamJags said: Pretty much confirms that the Herald/Evening Times article was a hatchet job from Low and reiterates previous statements which have made clear in no uncertain terms that the club was mismanaged while under her stewardship. These aren't new bits of information to any Thistle fan. Until the audited accounts are received we will not see anything at all as to whether it’s been mismanaged or not. All I’m seeing is a previous board and current board slagging each other off - which is making the club a bit laughable IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Someone's definitely at it with the figures as well btw, either the Low board have budgeted disastrously (£700k on top of normal revenues from Fitz and Lindsay- even if not in a lump sum most of it must be due within 12 months) on a scale that suggests someone forgot a decimal point, or the new board are at it with the statement saying so. Looking forward to the Dundee Utd fans being in the Chien Lee stand on Friday night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie Of The Month Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If only there had been a way for Colin Weir to spend some of the £2.5m invested in the club to prevent someone that he doesn't want coming in and taking over. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is wealthy enough to have bought the club, keep his pal in her job and run the club as he pleased. CW or CL? I would probably have preferred CW as a hands on owner. Time will tell whether this is a good or disastrous move for the club!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Colin has confirmed he has withdrawn funding but that was surely to be expected after the split between him and his wife. Was she a thistle fan too or was it purely Colin splashing the cash? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
