Buttocks Brown Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Sad to see Gordon stand down but hope he'll stick around for awhile on the board. The board have said that decisions made are collegiate with the Chairman's role maybe not being quite as it is as some other clubs so maybe the change won't be that big a deal. John Needham.... saw him interviewed by Ali de Foy at HT in one of the games last season and was impressed. Spoke well and seemed like a really enthusiastic and positive guy. A St Mirren diehard with 40 years experience high up in the banking sector seems like a decent combination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 John Needham is a damn good choice as our new chairman. Gordon Scott will remain as a director after handing over the reins to John. What a job he’s done in not only stabilising the club from a very precarious position, but he’s been the main driving force behind the fan ownership, right from the start. Bravo to the outgoing chairman and the previous board for all they’ve achieved in time slot that’s way ahead of schedule. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word I would use to describe the tail end of the previous board would be "stale". They'd all had enough and wanted to move on, which was fair enough. It was the time for fresh faces and ideas and it's ended up working out brilliantly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Every club ownership makes mistakes. Just look at Celtic’s self-inflicted fall off a cliff from a position of absolute dominance. Prior to the ‘GLS’ era, over the piece, SG & Co put in a more than decent shift. Over many years, that ownership group steered the ship on a pretty even keel without too many major dramas. Goodness knows, there were enough major dramas at other clubs during SG & Co’s reign which they managed to navigate our vessel well away from. Good luck to the new ownership model. Personally, I’m not looking for a quantum leap forward towards some sort of ‘next level’. Just keep the heid’, don’t fcuk things up, do your best, and what will be will be.

Big fan of stability here. The size of club we are, there's always going to be a chance of relegation, so making sure we do everything we can to a) avoid it and b) make sure it's not a financial catastrophe if it does happen are my main baseline priorities. 'Progress' beyond that is a bonus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZingaliMan Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Anyone not a member of smisa should think of joining if the club means a lot to you. There is a new membership for £5 a month the price of couple bottles of beer but going a long way to help the club build up its rainy day fund. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'm not that bothered, it's the fact that certain other supporters seem bothered that's good "for the bantz". Have you not been keeping up with your big team? We've currently got a better* player having a medical who plays the same positions as Middleton. *he's a 6'+ blue eyed blonde Scandinavian so is obviously going to be better at everything compared to glenn the hobbit. Edit: getting in through catflaps, glenn may be better at that but until I see it I'm not believing it.

Wouldn't worry about it too much. Where is Shull these days? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
