Thebigguy68 Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 St mirren mate just texted to say he received letter from club saying “ first time in proud 144 year history, the club is now majority owned by own supporters” . Seems now 51% fan owned. Scary prospect for me but he seems quite excited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilmarnock FC would struggle to exist under fan ownership IMO. Our fans are great but the volume is not there to support a fully functioning competitive club. We should be kissing the feet of Billy Bowie and Phyliss McLeish at the moment. Without them, we would have been in league 1 a long time ago 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we haven’t the numbers committing to TiK to do it just now but we can't rely on those holding the majority of shares being "good guys". BB and Phyllis won't be there for ever and Scottish Football has a history of clubs being owned by crooks and asset strippers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially Sevco. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
