Quick search would suggest that aside from the obvious lawyers, the others are dermatologists and ENT. No idea what the connection is to Webb, but while not likely to be especially wealthy, all seem pretty sensible professionals. In a way, that is reassuring as there isn't mental get rich quick kind of folk there. Positives are that these guys and if we take Webb at his word, there does seem to be any intent (or history) of nonsense such as asset stripping or dodgy practices. Am hoping that some outside perspectives might bring a freshness to things and a willingness to revisit some opportunities to grow the club thst the previous owners dismissed too quickly. I'm not that concerned at the references to land and potential sell offs. Not least because Brown himself has floated this many times over the years and actually, when you look back over his time, putting the stadium move aside, has twice sold off land the club owned (Florence place training pitch and (I'm pretty sure) the former supporters club site on jeanfield road). Arguable the new road was a land sale too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguable the new road was a land sale too. As you've said already land sales etc aren't necessarily always bad. While I don't know much about it the indication is the club owns land away from the stadium footprint as well. If they used that to sell to builders or built houses on it that additional income could boost the clubs finances Whatever they do I just want a pre match area to go thats decent.

The Marly Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Did they not also sell land on Dunkeld Road where the supporters club was? (Old Tay motel site). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Another good interview but words will mean nothing until it's backed up now. A win tomorrow is a necessity. Dunno how they'll line up? I'd guess... Rae Olufunwa - McClelland - Cameron - Keltjens Wright - Smith - Sprangler - Carey Kimpioka - May ... but Sidibeh obviously comes in if he's fit. Don't know if you put Raymond in at LB if he's signed in time too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming thats as close to a full strength team as you can field at the moment - so in general I was mainly meaning.

It'll see us struggle in this group stage IMO and we might go out embarrassingly again, but I don't think that just gets shrugged off by the owners this time.

The Real Saints Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Can’t see us getting eliminated tbh. That line-up (possibly defence aside) is a lot stronger than what we had available at the same time last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’d checked that line-up before my previous post. Defence maybe looks slightly stronger there, but the midfield is clearly weaker. We’ve essentially got those exact same attacking options now, but with Sidibeh and Kimpioka in addition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saintee Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 (edited) There's a LOT that still needs to happen because in all the positivity about the new owner you have to face reality that the team is largely shite.
