No sure if Trust members frequent these boards.

Yes. They're just a bunch of jumped-up, self-important glory hunters who can't even organise an AGM on time. Clue - it's in the name annual general meeting

Why do they always wait until the club is in trouble before looking to increase membership? What can they do with only about £10,000 in the bank anyway?

Mind you, it's probably more than the Italians have in theirs

the Trust meeting is Thursday

They do

That's the new one with the club.

We're talking about the meeting of "The Trust" and the supporter's organisations (and Ged Nixon).

Don't tell me they didn't invite you as the main man of the DBM ? Back stabbers, the lot of them

Even the LAC were invited. I must say, having read the DBM's musings on Livi Lions, they make the LAC look like the MPC.

The upshot is "The Trust" will meet the Italians on Thursday, meekly mention the financial rumours under AOB, accept what they are told as gospel, then retire to the bar to celebrate a job well done

They might even bring out a newsletter to inform the half-a-dozen members that everything is rosy. If they do it will be sure to include 20 pictures from the family album as usual

Whatcha mean by this?

Was the meeting the other night not to establish the truth behind all or some of the rumours? They must surely know by now that many of the stories and hearsays are not rumours after all then? Has the boy Nixon said his piece to them? Were all the right folk even at the meeting? 

Answers on a postcard

Only one out of the 100 small creditors was invited so, no, not all the right people were at the meeting.

They are freely available on the internet so I could post some here to let you see ???

OK go on then

Putting aside the internal fan politics, I heard this week that the club were/are in grave danger of having the electric supply cut off due to non-payment of a Scottish Power bill.

Is that a supporters' trust you're referring to? Sometimes they work, most of the time they're a circle jerk.

Must have paid the leckie bill as the floodlights were on for the full game

.. or an annual walk up a wee hill

He said they were in danger, not that it would happen this week.

Only half of them work anyway.

Heard the administrators will be inn very shortly.

source?

How would you know?

You only have to look at the bulbs.

Cappie the cat


We'll see if i'm correct.

I have my sources within the hallowed walls of Almondvale

Here's even more DBM musings for you

I'd just love to hear exactly what DBM thinks about him.

DBM are so called hard nuts that throw there toys out there parm when things don't go there way and they are banned from stadiums .

That thread on there site is a joke really.

They must think enough of him to create his very own banner

I'm sure he'd have a good laugh with his friends. I'd urge them to do it.

Hmmm, I notice the thread has been deleted. I wonder why.

They just incite trouble with threads like that

I'm sorry, I was ill yesterday and happened to avoid this thread and subsequently the DBM thread. Who is "him"?

I wish they would do it too, especially if they put on about "him" bumming Charles Darwin Esq.

Everyone knows only Airdrie fans get to give old CDE a good bumming

A pity they don't have the courage of their convictions

Just like the LAC removing stuff from their Bebo when it's mentioned on here.

Oh come on.

That's what happens when you avoid a thread ...

After feeling at death's door in the morning (horrid flu and headache) I still managed to go to the game yesterday after promising a Jambo friend that I would take him. I then proceeded to have my eardrums (pun intended) destroyed by the DBM for long periods of the game. Unfortunately, I was also violently sick in the evening when I got back.

Now far be it from me to keep my many P&B fans on tenderhooks while they wonder where I am, but I think that's a reasonable reason to miss a thread. If you're not going to tell me, my biggest fan Nizzy will more than likely help me out

I'm sure Nizzy will tell you.

Or you could wait until the next Plastic Whistle game and read the banner

There'll be a banner? Oh, I can wait for that

I'm led to believe that anyone interested in this thread might like to obtain a copy of the Daily Retard tomorrow morning.

My media sources tell me there's a very interesting quote from Pearse on the sale of the club.

Simple question, and I mean no malice - but why didn't you just say that you were going to the press, instead of coming out with such bullshit about media sources etc?

Simple answer, I didn't go to the press.

Fan's court action threatens Livingston with financial nightmare

Oct 24 2008 By Gary Ralston

LIVINGSTON are facing financial turmoil after a fan threatened to freeze their bank account in a row over unpaid bills.

Livi supporter Alex Todd claims he has been left with no other option but to apply for an arrestment order after a row stretching back almost 18 months.

Todd is owed around £1600 by the Almondvale outfit for work he undertook as official club photographer and website administrator.

But the First Division outfit are blanking his appeals for payment, even after the courts ordered the club to stump up in July.

Livi's new Italian owners argue the bills were run up under Pearse Flynn's regime and should be settled by him.

Flynn declined to comment but it's understood all liabilities were disclosed by him - which is why the Italian consortium, led by Angelo Massone, picked up the club at the end of last season for £1.

It's believed there may be up to 100 creditors,most of them small, local businesses, in a similar position to Todd.

He argues his deal was with Livingston, not Flynn, and the new owners should honour the debts they inherited.

Todd said: "Livingston started to fall behind with payments in June last year and by Christmas I stopped working for them as the bill hadn't been settled.

"I raised an action against the club in May for nonpayment and the case was called at Linlithgow Sheriff Court in July.

"I informed the new owners but no one turned up in court and I was awarded a decree.

I've sent in sheriff officers to the club twice in recent weeks in an attempt to enforce the court order but still nothing has been done.

"I'm examining my options and it looks as if I will have to apply for an arrestment order and freeze the club's bank accounts.

"I'm a Livingston fan and it hurts to do this but the new owners have told me to chase Pearse. The money is owed by Livingston and I'm surprised lawyers appear not to have performed due diligence on outstanding debts before they took over the club."

If the club's bank accounts are frozen it will cause chaos as player and staff wages are unlikely to be processed and it could even raise concerns about their long-term survival.

Consortium boss Massone and partner Tommaso Angelini failed to return calls to Record Sport.

Ok, they came to you then, same difference.

No, there's a big difference. It means that the financial state of the club is getting to be common knowledge.

I was told yesterday of the quote by Pearse but it wasn't actually used in the article.

Do you two know each other, or has mozam created his account purely to take a dig at you?

I have no idea who he is but I'm sure he knows me

I fear for Livi FC

Don't worry, Massone has been paying the players out of his own pocket, he said so himself. He must be loaded.

Any word on whether the players' bonuses have been paid yet?
