But Jim Ballantyne was vociferous in his condemnation of Livi's antics months back in both the local press and the match progamme, They have cheated was his opinion especially after they signed players we could not in january, I'm sure both articles included Clyde as well, given that they too gazumped us for players last summer only to be unable to pay them. The man's entitled to an opinion, i'm sure the other chairmen were well aware of it before any meetings took place, he would have took the same stance had we won the play off. it's mud slinging and he better be careful because from what i can gather if it hits the fan most of it will blow back onto him and his horrible dress sense. -

as above there still a club in administartion so McGruther IS still in charge, the livi 5 will have preffered bidder status, until a cva is rubber stamped the business remains in the hands of the admin unless of course they have settled all debts -

Granted, I was kinda backing up your point, however there's no way a new livi could be accepted -

Remember part of Airdrie's original bid though contained a sum of around 200k that was pledged to repay Airdrionians Football debt as a goodwill gesture( ok the IR and some businesses would have got zilch but the debts conected to the football side of the operation would have been mostly paid) not ideal but in no way were Airdrie trying to wipe out debts and start again. It was the only option untill the sfl had a word in the shell like. Incidentally most of that 200k was swallowed up in the buyout, so money that would have been kept in house went to yer man Hall. the precedent has been set any "new Livi" would be a paper club and any bid to gain league status would be rejected. they either sort out a cva or that's it Game Over -

the precedent has been set on that one, Airdrie united's original application which included payment of the football debt as a goodwill gesture was deemed to be a paper club with no footballing History and thus Gretna were voted in instead well done to the clubs who voted on that one!! Ayr United; Alloa; Arbroath; Berwick Rangers; Clyde; Clydebank; Cowdenbeath; Dumbarton; East Fife; East Stirling; Inverness CT; Morton; QOS; St.Mirren; Stranraer; St.Johnstone -

what a fcuking whacky plan, given The ballantynes budget was around 200k he must have been planning on getting the club for nothing, Barr wanted the stadium, it all becomes clear now, he's only there to see if there's cash to be had mad massone thinks he's bringing him some cash, Rankine thinks he can make some cash and gemmill well he just doesn't have any cash there's a straight to DVD movie in all of this, get Duvall on the phone. -

can you elaborate on the 200k, thats a new one on me, Gemmil was installed at airdrie by bill barr's KPMG backed regime, the masterpaln being a dismantling of new broomfield being moved to a seaside town on the west coast and land being a prime housing spot (well to anyone not from airdrie, the thought of being squeezed between craigneuk and Petersburn can only be described as a wee patch of land on the iran/iraq border 20 years ago) but the council held the title deeds to teh land and Airdrieonians owned the bricks and mortar, so they were screwed, after liquidation of all assets there was barely enough to pay KPMG so i dont see where this 200k figure comes into play. but your right the last time those two were circling round a club was to try and pick the bones of it -

the ten signed players were part of a squad that finished 5 points off 5th place, it's not a given that they would get pumped 6-0 off ross county, besides that 5 may become 7 or 8 given the projected increase in away fans -

He has no idea how much debt he would have to pay off, my guess is all you'll see is a dust cloud, once he finds out the level of debt, I think you better all start preparing for the worst instead of hoping someone will bail you out -

excuse me for asking but where is this idea of wiping debts and starting in the third coming from?? as i remmber it no such thing was offered to Airdrieonians, the club went into administration and sought a buyer, there was plenty interest but no one could come up with enough cash to satisfy creditors and administrators so the club was wound up and that is exactly what will happen to livingston, unless this Nixon charachter has 500k at his disposal -

I think you may be pleasantly suprised!! such a sweeping statement " if your full time you'll be running at a loss" without even knowing anything about our club, still when your in as much deep stuff as Livi I suppose trying to put everyone down seems the easy option, What they forget is our T shirts are firmly in the bottom drawer of the cupboard, we definetly have them and have no need for another. -

If they have to put money in every month does not tell even an uneducated financial expert that the business is not viable!!!
