Scouser2 Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Rumours doing the rounds that 2 new Directors been confirmed and soon to be announced -to join the existing board- with one of them the TIK candidate ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangodog Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 We know how much it has cost to get a TiK person on the board, how much would a new board member (rumoured to be Mrs. McLeish) have to put into the club to get accepted ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but they were stabilising the ship floundering under captain Johnston. Would Mrs. McLeish get a free pass as the wife of a major sponsor ? We still don't have anyone with a football background on the board and football is our business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Don't see how being a footballer in any way qualifies you to run a business. What I would hope for is that any directors are football fans so they have an understanding of their customers. This was the mistake we made before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not like to think so, why charge the Trust to have a fan on board and if the rumours are true from selling their business they are not shy of a bod or two. Treat everyone fairly and keep the peace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killie billies pal Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I would expect the board to think of SSC as their Football head, a football board has to be made up of business people, otherwise you can have serious consequence when things are not going well. Ian Maxwell could very well be parting ways via Thistles relegation, and an absolute 50% dump of a stadium, but at least he brought the mascot through. Nah, IMO leave the football side to the manager, SLO and us lot!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallus Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I'd quite like Mrs McLeish being on the board, especially as her husband has just sold QTS for £80 million!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true I’d be interested to know how much she is investing to join the board. Given the family have just pocketed £80m I would hope it would be a lot more than the standard £100k for a directors seat. Or could it be she’s joining with the intent of increasing her investment next year by purchasing the fat lawyer’s shareholding next year?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boaby Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 I suspect that £80m will see Mr QTS not run out of sashes in a long time! Even if he buys into his first love (only a matter of time) its still nice of him to let wifey loose with £100k to sit on his gym buddies Bowie's board, although I did hear it was a lot more than that. Happy to take their cash of course if they want to invest, but I can't help but feel there is going to be collateral damage along the way and I hope it is not our dreams and aspirations. At the first sign of a Killie-Gers scarf I'm starting a riot! -8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once saw them refer to themselves on social media as the Ayrshire elite, ironically while patting themselves on the back for spending a night in a tent for charity. A tent with crates of champagne and Liam Gallagher to sing them a few tunes. Okay then I'm just jealous! -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We interviewed him and then opted for Kirstin Callaghan instead due to her vast football knowledge and wildly successful stint at her last place. Oh wait......... The press release announcing her appointment was the first he knew he didn't get the job. I thought we were better than that. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killie billies pal Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Didn’t Dave McKinnon tie the club into a long term brewery deal for the sports bar that cost us big time? Dont believd in going backwards, hopefully BB can persuade some bigger players to take over the reigns that QTS put in place. Without QTS and Bowie we would be a basket case, I thank them both and look forward to seeing “who’s next” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasherp Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Another local name who could be heading for the board, Chris McMail. He would be a good addition 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baz Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 The Trust can't really comment any more than we have in terms of our candidate for the new directorship, otherwise we would have already. It's a matter of good business practice and protocol...and we've waited this long so a few more days or weeks won't have any real affect, as long as its not much longer than that of course, I can't see why it would be. We've heard all the same rumours as everyone else about an additional director being appointed to the board but none of it has been official and we have not heard it from anyone in a position to know for sure so until we hear different then we have to treat it as speculation as well. From a personal perspective (this is not a quote from the Trust nor representative of their views) I would welcome any financial investment into the club so if we are to get someone else on board then all well and good, provided their name is not Massone! The more directors we have the better, the more diversity we have on the board the better, the more points of view and experience we have on board the better. Billy Bowie deserves credit for his involvement and what we've achieved since he's been here but we should not underplay the importance of what John Kiltie and latterly Bill White have had to offer. We suffered for years under the one-man-band scenario and at the very least we should have learned that football is a team game and that is just as important off the park as it is on it. As the Steve Clarke himself says...together we are stronger. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyhigh Posted May 9, 2018 Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Has McLeish not sold QTS to pay Phylis her share in a separation or are they back together again? Be interesting if she joins the board with £40 million in her back pocket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
