Surprised no-one's opened a thread to talk about their current plight.
They've obviously gone into administration and seem to be struggling for survival on a daily basis. They've asked for their weekend match against Aberdeen to be postponed and it seems they can't afford to insure their players, meaning they might not be able to field a team. Brooks Mileson has apparently run out of money to fund the club and he was pretty much their only source of income. Any thoughts on any of it?
I know i'll get criticised for it, but I think Mileson's an idiot. He was a successful businessman and yet he's seemingly blown his fortune on a dream that could never have a future. Maybe he'll think it's been worth it because they've reached the SPL and he's had a day out at Hampden, but did he really think it all through? The club come from a town with no significant population, they have a stadium not even up to 1st division standards, and they were making losses every week. How did he think it was sustainable? Was it worth risking his long-term health for?
I know he'll be remembered as a loveable, eccentric old guy who had a dream, but i'm too cynical for all that bullsh!t. He's helped make Scottish football look like a joke again.
Who disagrees? :boxing:
