History tells us the succeeding years following an administration event are rarely good for a football club. Dundee and Livingston both suffered subsequent financial problems and Airdrie have never properly recovered. It could be argued Hibs and Motherwell prospered but Hibs were bought by a very wealthy supporter and Motherwell simply used administration to clear their debt, they had the same owner before and after.

 

In England Wimbledon needed to vanish completely before being reborn, larger sides like Portsmouth and Coventry remain in precarious positions, Southampton and Leeds dropped to League 1.

 

The total ineptitude of our board has been blatantly obvious to anyone with the slightest interest in looking. Once again our club is in a financial hole, it is unable to honour commitments it made, that is not the fault of the players, they are absolved of blame.

 

At some point we the supporters are going to have to take a long hard look at ourselves though. Like most of us I watched months of in-fighting last year, people spending huge amounts of time and effort defending the directors of our club, criticising anyone who warned that all was not well and that change was needed. Shame on those who supported that board.

Our supporters trust is inept yet it should be the most powerful trust in the UK, never has a club created the circumstances where a supporter's body could garner support than ours has in the last couple of years. When are people going to realise that change is needed there?

 

Anyone who doesn't think our club is in serious peril, again, needs a reality check. That half way through a season, when we're top of the league, in one cup final and still in another, our budget is so wrong we're asking players to take pay cuts shows such fiscal vandalism as to warrant an enquiry.

 

Well we were warned but many chose not to listen. The signs we'd seen before were there again but many chose to ignore them. Too many of us would rather abuse our own than face up to our responsibilities.

I suppose we get what we deserve.

 

Couldn't help myself, easy to blame fellow fans isn't it eh? I'm not especially sure what's changed from yesterday, the need for cuts has been clear a number of weeks.

 

Twisted world where you can have fans that follow the team everywhere home and away yet it's 'shame' on them if they have a different opinion on a boardroom.

Now, the media spin on that was as expected, the fallout on the boards a well.

 

By the looks of it, Wallace will have a few words in tomorrows Daily Record

 

 

IMHO, the clubs looks at all avenues to cut cost, for the time being at least. Before starting to sack people, they ask for wage reduction. I would assume that is just one avenue pursued. What did people actually expect them to do?

 

On a sidenote, we are apparently due some money from the Jelavic transfer to Hull, as there was a sell-on clause. There is also an arrangement in place (apparently listed in the interim report) that there is a 50/50 split between Oldco and Newco.

The line of credit from an unnamed source does anyone know what, if any, security has been offered in return?

Great post Amms (52)

Wallace should have removed Stockbridge and Toxic Jack from their posts for starters then supporters might be able to take him seriously,we all know players are being paid over the odds for where we are, but they have contracts that should be honoured.

They should be trying to offload Cribari,S Smith Foster etc.

Laughable interview where he completely sidesteps the issue of director pay cuts.

[RANGERRAB 3,653]

I genuinely believe Wallace if he says we're not going bust but this is yet more negative publicity.Also what players would want to sign for a club who have been trying to introduce wage cuts?
