glenburn bud Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Why did Gordon Scott accelerate the deal to get Kibble on board ? Was it for purely selfish reasons with regards to getting his financial return back years earlier than he first anticipated. Its obvious that the Kibble are really only interested in the Kibble. The football club are nothing less than secondary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current speculation about Kibble threatening to take SMISA to court in order to remove John Needham is beyond belief. We’d be as well renaming the club Kibble FC and just let them get on with what they want to do.

Norrie82 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Like many many others I am close to chucking the monthly payment to SMISA. They are supposed to have elected officials to represent the fans . I know fans don’t run the club nor would I want this but at present the messaging and just general running of the club is a joke. Anyhow if nothing changes soon I’ll cancel and I know I won’t be the only one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 If the rumours are true, and SMISA are effectively being gagged as a result of legal proceedings, then how are they supposed to disseminate information, regarding the current situation, to the members? Also, given that SMISA are the fans part of the "partnership", IMO it would be pretty senseless to undermine them at this point by withdrawing financial support, as it only strengthens the Kibble's hold over the club. Of course it's supposed to be a partnership, but that doesn't seem to be the case at present. Anyway, on pitch events worry me more than off pitch events at present. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Has any St Mirren team ever had a plan B? We have one way of playing and one way only. If it doesn't work? It doesn't matter. Baffling how the entire support can see that getting the ball wide to wing backs, who play far too high up the pitch, and shelling long balls up to a lone striker, bypassing our ballers in the middle of the park, isn't working, yet the management team can't see it. I feel as if I'm reliving Gus MacPherson's tenure all over again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season, we are adopting a three-pronged Plan B. Hope Dundee, Livingston, and Ross County lose. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No massive surprise to see him and Erwin leave to allow some fresh attacking players to come in - McAllister in that camp for me too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll see how much of a chance Dennis has got when Brophy's injured. If he's still not getting a look-in then I can see him moving on. I still think he's our best natural finisher and our best chance of getting goals if we can get the ball to his feet/head inside the box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I actually came here to ask if anyone knew how to cancel their SMISA? Is it just a case of cancelling the DD or do you have to contact them /jump through hoops as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 * inserts Vaas meme * "Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity? Insanity is doing the exact same fucking thing, over and over again, and expecting shit to change." I like Goodwin, I think the squad he has available to him is more than capable of competing at this level, but the simple fact is he has to accept that the 3-5-2 (3-4-2-1) doesn't work. We've had some success with it, sure, but many many more failures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Pep Guardiola would be playing Jamie McGrath as a false 9 in a 3-4-3. Just saying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d hold off with that one as in my opinion weakening SMISA financially, will play into the Kibble hands. The quicker we get shot of this shower of chancers the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Beat Raith at home the following Saturday and then didn't win another league game until beating Ayr at Somerset at the end of February.

Buttocks Brown Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Just now, McG said: I know Tait wasn’t happy on the bench. Middleton to St Mirren, McGrath to England, Goodwin to walk because Magennis was sold, the next 3 games are crucial for Jim... you know it all eh? You not got a drum to go and bang or something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
