TheScarf Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I don't really, but I've heard enough from previously reliable sources that he's going to try to stick around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Malkmus Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 How much money would need to be invested into the club for us to be happy with Gardiner staying? A cool 10 million for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdcal Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 18.88 Million. His face knowing that figure is what kept him employed.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Malkmus Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 (edited) If he's taking at least £100k out of the club per year through his salary and perks, plus personally losing us £250k per year through crap decision making and general incompetence (a conservative estimate, and on top of our other debts), then that is £2.25 million over a five year period. So that's the Gardiner Tax, then we need our debts wiped and some restructuring. Plus some money to get us promoted twice. £5-10 million please Mr. MacDonald.

A new broom sweeps clean so they say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdu98196 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Investment or transfer of ownership does not necessarily mean an immediate SG removal, he is still legally entitled to his notice period (unless the club goes under) so it would require settlements etc to be reached. Any incoming investor may also need to consider if SG goes who will take over the running of the club (regardless of opinions there will be functions and operational tasks he has experience handling) - there will be a limited pool of candidates with background in this available unless any incoming party has someone lined up, otherwise they may look at it as a better option to continue with SG to at least handover the reigns. All this may be unpopular but nobody shrewd enough to have money to invest wont want to throw it away by diving headlong into the unknown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Temporary replacement of Scot Gardiners position should not be a problem, I don't know if Scott Young is still in place and he would be aware of whats required on a day to day basis. Then there are three board members at least who are retired who could step in, one of them had enough business nous to run a large company . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By tomorrow morning I will be on my flight to NYC but feel free to give me your lawyers contact details. Please do this by 2am. I would appreciate this info.

TheScarf Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I've secured my #brief for tonight, in a game I think we'll lose. I'd imagine Arbroath will be quite a bit better than Bonnyrigg were on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB1994 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Anybody know why the club appear to no longer be allowing kids to take flags into the games anymore? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Killington Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 (edited) It might have some naughty words on it. Like "Gardiner out" or "Ferguson out" Edited July 23 by Buzz Killington 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnieMurdo Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Will the ticket office be open up till kick off as usual does anybody know? I don't want to make this assumption with the way things currently are, especially as it seems no one is manning the phones in the club shop / ticket line these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely open on Saturday but I'm not sure if that was just for collections or to buy them too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardiner's fragile ego I'd imagine. Same reason that the teens were the only group not to get some reduction on ST prices this season probably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's wild "Here buy a flag from the shop great way to show support". "Oh wait sorry you can't bring it in on match day guess you'll have to hang it from a window or something" Jesus christ.
