Really not paying attention?

Not paying attention?

We can buy a few hundred Glenn Kamaras with that.

All depends how the company is run.

Who?

I can only guess that the board are not interested in doing that just now. Does Club1872 have money in place to make such an offer just now? I would also guess not.

It's an abstract point that is true for any party. I don't really need to tell you that though as you go on to make my point for me. You can't escape the need to balance the books. No board will ever do that if you promise to bail them out.

To invest zero is infinitely sustainable. I don't know how sustainable it is for the Club1872 to invest 13 million for others to spend. I do believe that it is not infinitely sustainable. I think that you assume the club will not balance the books in any other way. Is that fair to say?

Funny you should say that because the exact opposite is obviously true.

Keep shoveling money in for other people to spend? How sustainable is that?

If you are inclined to avoid responsibility then that point will never be reached.

Pretty sure you can't prohibit the type of transaction you are thinking of. There is, of course, one way to guarantee that the shares are never sold to Ashley.

Control is always the priority.

Good luck influencing one without the other.

These two points are of real interest. I can see why the other stuff has rhetorical value but I don't see the genuine importance. The priority is gaining a significant degree of control at the club. Equally you need to know who has control in Club1872. The point about consultation is a red herring but worth addressing. Offering members a chance to participate is enough. Non participation is fairly unambiguous.

Quite. A fellow I know argues that the current on field success wouldn't have been achieved under fan ownership. That's probably true. Sadly there is little option but for the support to start taking responsibility. It looks like the right people have rescued us over the last five years. There is no guarantee that any such people will be there in future. I share some of your concerns about Club1872. Partly why I stopped participating after the R.S.T. was consumed.

Seems like a rather silly question to me. 75k is chicken feed in comparison to the potential sums involved.

Worrying about this is putting the cart before the horse, no? The first priority, for anyone, should be to gain a significant degree of control.

What are you talking about?

Sounds awful. U.E.F.A. just makes things worse with each change. The competitions are already heavily to the advantage of clubs with big audiences. What more do they want?

So much noise. How much signal? Then suddenly it gets worse.

I actually listened to a fair amount of this podcast. Kenny Miller doesn't half talk nonsense.

I'm happy with that draw. I don't like the pitch in Perth or Livingston. Happy to face any of those teams at a neutral venue.
