Nothing like that. Just have concerns based on the state of other clubs like Berwick who learnt too late.

This is good news by why the wait until the 17th?

We need to start thinking that relegation is not ‘unthinkable’. 4 points adrift and only 2 wins in the bottom league is evident enough that relegation out of the league is thinkable. The squad needs improvement and that opportunity closes in 7 weeks. I agree that the committee needs support both financially and with expertise to rebuild the club as a business that can thrive on and off the pitch. Get the finances sorted, recruit wiser and get the fans back on side as they are the ones who will bring the support to the club every other Saturday.

two successive relegations and bottom of the league is surely a sign that something needs to change. Cash injection is needed to survive and rebuild but the current structure will struggle to attract cash as their is no certainty that funds will be well invested.

I agree. The club needs an injection of cash to give us a good chance of recruiting in Jan, either through free transfers or loans on large wage contribution. But will require cash that the club doesn’t have. Cash will only be injected if the board room long term strategy and club ownership structure changes otherwise it’s just plugging a hole. This should have happened 6 months ago but we are where we are. We need short term help to keep us in the league, then long term changes so that we are back competing in Scottish football.

Stovies - the community and business folk can do a lot more for the club then just inject cash. Cash is needed but we also need more support from those who can bring more business fundamentals to the club

This is clearly a concerning time for our club. To be well clear at the bottom of the league is evident that something fundamental needs to change, otherwise we will sleepwalk into the Highland league. In the HL we will struggle to recruit, attendances will be at an all time low. League support money less, lucrative cup run potential even smaller and sponsorship will disappear and the club will slide into even more debt. The corporate management has not been good enough, whether managers have been given too much power, whether we spent incorrectly, recruited poorly or did not have a clear business plan, who knows but in 6 months time it could be too late. In the long term we need a new team managing the club from the board room, more business focused. Invest properly, build feeder relationships with the larger clubs. Create a more welcoming ground for families, utilise the facilities more than 1 day a fortnight. Bring in alternative incomes to support the football. Short term, we need 3 or 4 players in January that will keep the team in the league. Either through effective loans or cash needs to be raised to buy out better player contracts. The current club constitution restricts a lot of the above changes being made. The Board needs to realise that if nothing is done soon they will be responsible for a 3 league collapse and a very uncertain future for the team. The current board has done great things over the past decade, but needs refreshing and a new direction. We can’t ignore that this is a crisis that is threatening the clubs existence. Something needs to happen in the next 4 weeks or I fear it will be too late.
