Total folly. He will be 38 by then. McKinnon’s version of Dad’s Army isn’t what we need.

Who would they be?

 

Let’s examine the BoD

 

Margaret Lang - Lawyer and Chair - No shares

Craig Campbell - Part time CEO - paid exec no shares

Kieran Koszary - paid executive - no shares

Andy Thomson - CA - owns under 1% of the business

Martin Ritchie - ex Chair - 2nd biggest shareholder - many other non exec roles - decent record in business

Lex Miller - 6th - largest shareholder - let’s say local business character to be kind to him.

 

It is hardly a list of names to take Wall Street on

Certainly not a list of names to take Wall Street on, but there's a good range of experience and backgrounds there for a club our size. Martin Ritchie in particular might not be the most liked character but you can't deny he has a very successful business record.

There is one on that list that I wouldn’t trust to wire a plug.

Experience of what?

Ritchie had a successful business record insofar as he made himself a fair wee fortune in his business dealings a decade or so ago. In terms of maximising the potential of this or any other football club, then you have to say that the cumulative shared experience of our board is very very low.

A range of backgrounds means little and is just a phrase with no substance. If one was a welder, one a pro darts player, one an insolvency practitioner, and another a mechanical engineer, and another was an architect, you could equally say there was “a good range of experience” there too.

You said amongst the wealthiest in this league. What utter bullshit. The only person on that Board will any personal wealth is Martin Ritchie.

Tell me why, if the are so wealthy, none of them have invested a brass farthing in 5 years?

Because wealthy individuals don't become wealthy by throwing money down the drain  to Scottish Championship football clubs.

Correctemundo -! To make a club punch above its weight you need to be ambitious a bit daft and be prepared to throw away some of yer cash for the glory and the hell of it!

Pal, you've outed yourself as an apologist for racism. Completely unwilling to having a go at fans wearing the same colours as you but immediately jumping on those who wear different colours.

So your point of “we have some of the wealthiest directors in the league” by your logic means f**k all. Away and top talking about things you have no clue about
