SuperHans Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Sims? He committed to putting in (through Starks Park Properties) £250k just last summer to cover the shortfall of remaining Full Time after relegation last May. Per the 2017 accounts, he had already put in £100k, so the other £150k will have been introduced during the course of the season. In addition to this, the 2016 accounts show one of his companies having invested £210k, and we are also due Starks Park Properties £350k the 2018 accounts which I would expect be published around August or September will have the updated structure, so some of this soft debt may be written off. I recall reading somewhere that the directors had agreed to have around 50% written off. Aye I was referring to the time since he bought Starks Park up until the moment he took over the club. I can remember hearing a lot of rumblings from people from the club complaining that they pay the rent to him and yet there were areas of the stadium needing fixed/upgraded or built. I'd also be interested to know what prompted his sudden takeover of the club. Was there some kind of SOS call from someone at the club or working on the BoD? So far since his arrival; Val McDermid, Davie Wan, Mario Caira, Tom Phillips and now Alan Young have all resigned this season as well as Eric Drysdale leaving. Gordon Adamsons time is up as fans rep so all that's actually left on the BoD who were there from last season is Tom Morgan. If he resigns today then it's a completely clean slate. When was the last time we had such a major overhaul at boardroom level? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Young had left long before Alloa's second went in, this regrettable turn of events could all have been avoided. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a sudden takeover? I thought Sim had been trying for quite some time to get enough shares to have a controlling interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 100% sure how it all works. Did Penman not dodge that somehow in the 80s or am I getting mixed up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperHans Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 After Anelka, to ensure such nonsense couldn’t be ‘railroaded’ through Makes sense. I don't know the full breakdown of who owns what but if Sim owns the company that owns the stadium and then that takes over majority of the company that owns the club then he basically holds all the aces anyway? Even without any real share in the club, him owning the ground gives him most of the power would it not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well with all the decisions needing to be made and if there are any serious changes then everyone involved would need to be told first then statement needs to be made and released and depending on the news, a press release. We don't even know when the meetings were going to start so it could be later tonight if it's serious or tomorrow if nothing major changes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I'll have a couple of quid on the next news emanating being something like: "As a result of last nights board meeting Mr Sinton has been installed as Chairman, with Mrs Sinton and Mr Simms cocker spaniel lucy both joining the board of directors. A budget has been set for Barry Smith to sign any 10 players that he wants as long as they don't want more that 10,000 Bhat per week." "Lastly work will begin on lifting the grass at Starks Park as soon as board member Lucy Simm has finished her business on the centre circle." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever actually explain/ acknowledge the whole Martin nonsense? If not I think you should. It's impossible to take you seriously. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not often picky about the details but at least get your facts right before we bring the pets into it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
