I'm sure that the stack of nonsense, 'we need an elite youth academy, full time football and £2 million income to operate' business model being peddled at NDP was definitely not a factor. Not to mention that £900k that was lost to a Nigerian prince (RBS compensation payment - lost in the post). Even accounting for McGowan's expected spin there's a deeper issue at HAFC than that clown alone. Edited May 4, 2023 by vikingTON 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) At least he's consistent tbf. It's a pretty damning indictment on the mid 00s cabal who ran Scottish football that a man who threatened to bulldoze one ground could get appointed to the board of another without so much as a mention of a fit and proper test.

My bet is Mike Dellios trying to orchestrate yet another club take over from his Steakhouse HQ with its Hong Kong hotline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what the common denominator is between Raith fans' anger towards Colin McGowan and Accies fans' anger towards Colin McGowan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm less bemused by the spiel (it's nothing new) than I am by the Daily Record printing two articles in two days to do his begging for him, without ever questioning him.

I suppose his garbage will usually be hate-read by Accies fans so it's probably easy clicks for them. I actually assumed that folk today were just responding to yesterday's pish, so yeah I agree that it's bizarre that they've done it across two days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher brash Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Sadly for Colin the Clown the people from Fife did save their club ! Now he’s up to the capers again but now with Hamilton really feel sorry for you guys that this so called football man is running your club , He takes no responsibility with anything and like the Rovers fans it’s now all the Accies fans fault that there club is in a mess 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ye Olde Hamiltonian Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 On 01/05/2023 at 18:57, SirJimmyofNic said: Hope hes not gonna play the same card he did with us, and threaten building houses on the ground He tried that a few years ago with a Planning Application to build Flats on land adjacent to The Tunnel behind The Main Stand,but South Lanarkshire Council knocked it back. Meanwhile,he spiels about Investors,but it is well known that John Viola tried to buy the Club and a potential deal was agreed until McGowan put a spanner in the works by refusing to sell The Stadium Company. The man is arguably hated more than Watson,Fulston and Stepek who took over £6million out of the Club via dodgy Property deals leaving us with £650,000 to build a ground. Hence why we only have two Stands and have lost a large section of the support from back then and the last few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 In lesser news, that's Josh McDonald off to Leeds - apparently for £150k. It's strange for us to have an academy player make a big move like that before they make a first team appearance. I don't recall it happening since Daniel Armstrong in 2015? He'll be a big miss in the u18s' title push. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All is well with club and he will invest this £ million in the first team for next season. Lets all celebrate with a Nero vodka If he is serious about selling the club the last thing he should have done was that Daily Record article. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 Let’s hope the club come to their senses and play Fulton against Airdrie. We all know he isn’t injured while Jamie Smith showed his naivety against Alloa and was lucky to stay on the park. The emergency loan for the young hearts boy will be finished as well. Any fee Portsmouth will allegedly give us can’t be worth increasing the risk of relegation for on the off chance he might get injured. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
