Parttimesupporter Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 2 minutes ago, Margaret Thatcher said: That would be specified by the club's articles. I don't know what they say but, for example, under the Model Articles used by a majority of businesses it would be something like (what used to be called) an Extraordinary General Meeting and then a vote on a resolution to appoint the new director, passed by 50%+1 of votes cast. Yes, but you need notice to call an EGM. Would be a tad tricky if the SPFL contacted the club to ask WTF is going on, only to be told that nobody can answer as all the directors have resigned and there will be an EGM in a few weeks. Anyhow, it's academic in the real world. Billy H will be around to face the music even if the other two directors decide that they have had enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise the fine the Queens chairman could face if he is found to have broken the Covid laws in tier 4?? He won’t give a dam about the SPFL not being able to get anyone at Palmerston 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The directors aren't the only employees the company has and other employees could respond to the SPFL. That's not to say the club wouldn't be in a tricky position, it clearly would. But companies can and do operate without any directors in the short term. I don't think anyone expects the board to resign immediately, and I would be shocked if their service contracts didn't include a notice period anyway, but the foregoing is the legal position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t give a dam about the SPFL not being able to get anyone at Palmerston Alternatively, if the club is fined, the Chairman could be liable to the club for breach of directors duties (if, indeed, it was the Chairman who invited him in. I still haven't seen that confirmed. It could have been the car park attendant for all I know.). The club would then have to bring that claim, acting through its other two directors. If they refused to bring the claim, any of the shareholders could bring a derivative claim, acting in their own name but with any damages paid to the club. I wonder how the trust - recently denied its seat on the board - would feel about that prospect! (Sorry, I find this tantalising as a legal geek, but it could get messy and hopefully we can avoid all that and get away with a stern warning by the authorities.)

Distant Doonhamer Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 For me it’s not a huge issue if the club does or doesn’t get some sort of sanction for this. It’s more important for me to acknowledge that whoever sanctioned this either didn’t realise or worse didn’t care that this would piss off our fan base. Just dreadful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Nederlander Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Presumably George has only recently purchased what will also presumably be his very first Queens ST yet he's posturing over life-long fans like he's actually a more worthy attendee than any of them. (Probably just a half-season and a couple of comps as well) Glad it's not my club this grifter has attached himself to - what a god awful statement as well. My condolences Queens fans. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that SD or indeed anyone else associated with a football club should be making daft statements on here about their employer/client. But if you choose to duck out of commenting your own club's mess for that reason then you lose all credibility when commentimg on any other club's dealings.

They have worked so hard to help the club in many ways yet are treated appalling and us, the fans, are treated with contempt. This whole fiasco could be a pivotal moment for the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qos_75 Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Of course all Billy Hewitson needed to say was: “I am kicking myself very hard. Possibly even harder than my worst critic..”. Something along the lines of that. A bit of bad press for a couple of days and we all move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
