Radford Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I always took the way that Tommy Wright was so effusive in his praise of Matt Butcher as a bit of a dig at Jones. As @The Real Saints says, I don't think Wright took to him or his attitude. Fact he's come back up here again maybe shows good character though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welldaft Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Whilst we are waiting for some signings news. Foley and Izzy perhaps. I was pondering this Gov loan that is being made available to top flight clubs. A godsend for the likes of United and Killie who seem to faring worse due to Covid. A £1.6m interest free loan to be repaid over 20 years. Why would you not take that up ? We appear to be in rude health due to Scott and Turnbull transfer fee + Europe etc. But we are apparently one of the only top flight side without our own training facilities. Robinson banged on about this for a while. I am sure to build your own inc ground, pitch, staff and maintenance would be more than £1.6m but it would be a opportunity to good to miss. Pay back £80k PA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if it's to cover operating costs to keep folk in a job, fine. If you take £1.6 million and the following day you're breaking ground on your new training facility it's probably a bad look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like if it's to cover operating costs to keep folk in a job, fine. If you take £1.6 million and the following day you're breaking ground on your new training facility it's probably a bad look. It depends on whether the club/board want to hold debt (regardless of whether it's interest free with favourable repayment terms). Given how long they've spent trying to pay off Boyle and Hutchison I'm not sure they do. Tbh, going by the accounts we had a fairly healthy cash at bank figure on 31st May and went on to sell Turnbull in August so without knowing that figure exactly you'd think that the club is being truthful in saying that "the club remains in a strong position" (given the accounts were clearly prepared and submitted recently as they reference Robinson's resignation and Alexander's appointment). IMO, you take the money bank it and if you need it to cover cashflow over the summer then great, dip into it then re-assess at the point when you're due to start repayments either hand back a lump sum less what you've used or keep hold of it and use it as capital and meet the repayment schedule. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Alternatively we take the £1.6m and buy 3 players for £500k each and watch the meltdown ensue. The money would be for clubs in financial crisis. I suspect there may be pre conditions in terms of evidencing hardship before funds released. If not there should be. So I 100% accept taking this loan and then spending £2m+ on our training facility would not be a good look. From purely a business opportunity it really is too good to knock back. Whose to say Kilmarnock don’t take the £1m then trump us or any other team for a player by offering better wages this summer. Would that be any different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led to believe that the application process will be managed by one of the big banks (Close Bros) so I would imagine that there will be conditions attached before being approved. At the very least a set of up to date management accounts. Edited January 29, 2021 by santheman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Surely there is a safe low risk investment where £1M could be deposited and generate income for 20 years. I suggest not my BoS 0.01% online saver. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) I see the St Johnstone game has been moved From April to February. I'm interested in the approach that we'll be playing all the games that month. It's basically going to be like a pre-winter shutdown December (but with no rest at the end of it) Edited January 29, 2021 by Swello 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermarv Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Add some depth and strength to the middle of the park, be pleased if we can sign the boy from Middlesbrough and he has a good 6 months and hopefully another attacking minded midfielder if the club are feeling ambitious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
