diege Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Buddies, rivalry apart... You guys are in grave danger here! and I speak from experiance after the past few months us Honestmen and Bonnie Lassies have witnessed. Hugh Clarke may sound like he's splashing the cash, you might see his corporate logo all over the place, he might well come up with mouth watering initiatives that will make you think he is the best thing since slice bread. We have seen someone go from being the biggest Ayr United supporter in the land, to being what in my opinion can only be described as being a cowboy. He's running a company with Kenny Shiels daughter in charge of the marketing department and seems very cash happy throwing his money about to please local communities than concentrating on his bread and butter company. His ultimate goal? I have no idea, but running a football club seems to be high up there.If he doesnt get his way, nastyness will follow as experianced tonight, I have some screen shots I shall share if required, GIve the fans hope and try and turn them against the current regime seems to be their goal. Ryanair would be proud of the measures they take to find attention. Pick up all the perks while they are offering the world, where will it end up... disaster, if whats believed they dont have the finance to support their big egos. Please do not give this guy your support if he attempts to barge his way into your club.

Please do not give this guy your support if he attempts to barge his way into your club. Kind Regards Diege Honestman and Football supporter Obviously it's well known the club is for sale. We also know that ( someone) has been purchasing shares on the open market. It's mostly speculation but word is the potential buyer wants 75% or more holding in the club. This is the first time I for one have heard the name Hugh Clarke mentioned as will most other Saints fans. All we know to date is that talks are going on and not went any further than that. As a supporter you have to ask - Why would anyone want to buy a club such as St Mirren for 2 million. Whoever it is not going to pump in money for no return. The only way you get a return from Saints is back from the club. A club the size of Saints can ill afford such a cost without it affecting the player budget. Certainly there are void spaces in the main stand that could be used to generate money but not enough to cover 2 million , this is my opinion. I'm worried no matter who the buyer is simply because we have diehards running the club for a long time now as such the club is run the right way. If a penny does not come in a penny does not go out. Could you elaborate on Hugh Clarke a wee bit more. Take you have heard he is interested in purchasing St Mirren. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 The guy is bad news and he is trying to buy St Mirren We knocked him back the other day He took to his companies facebook page to go mental. They have subsequently had to delete this facebook page (which was becoming plastered with St Mirren stuff during the rage) http://www.saintmirren.net/pages/?p=36891 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) I noticed his advertising board for the first time yesterday, assumed I was only aware of it because I'd read the Ayr takeover thread the other day - glad to see it's only recently been in place and I'm not blind! He doesn't seem to be a dodgy bloke, which is a bonus, but some of his plans for Ayr seemed laughably unrealistic. If he can't convince your chairman to sell to him how on earth is he going to manage to buy us when t would require a lot more cash and a lot more convincing? Where has it come out he's trying to buy us? Dunno if it'll make much difference but I finally got round to joining SMiSA earlier. The more Saints fans that do the better - costs as little as £2 a month. Edited October 26, 2014 by Stu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Where in any of the ongoing farce at AUFC has it been stated publicly that this guy has turned his attentions to SMFC. The local Ayrshire press has been full of this chap for a few weeks now but nowhere have I seen any mention of Saints in any of this - odd !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidkennedyshand Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 On that same Facebook page in the middle of the Clarks meltdown someone had put a photo up of Clark in his car outside St Mirrens ground and suggested he's now buying St Mirren instead of Ayr.It aslo suggested he had been at the ground for talks for 2 weeks.The page is back up and the Ayr fallout is still going on. https://www.facebook.com/restora.roof.5?fref=ts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed he has been in and around your club again also ! They were back of shirt sponsors last season and have apparently not paid us a penny. Unlike Falkirk though, our stake was a lot smaller as he was not the main shirt sponsor and I've heard we've more or less written off any chance of seeing a penny. We don't have them on this season's kits but we do still have two billboards behind the goals bearing their name which if they are not paying for, should be removed pronto.
