If only talk of another "No Deal" was kept confidential and we were not bombarded with statements made on that.

A strike force of Doolan and anyone wouldn't see us challenging. Some people have rose tinted glasses. Doolan was done.

JJ, You should know the Chairman's statement by now as you have referred to it often enough in other threads, but just to remind you, here is what she said regarding the club's finances "Off the pitch, the Board took the decision that the Club, while having no debts, needed to improve its financial planning. Our budgets do not include monies from cup runs, stadium hires by third parties etc. It encourages us to live within our means and extra monies that come in – such as that from our Scottish Cup run – can be used to supplement the playing budget or on unforeseen issues as they arise. But, until season 2018/19, the focus had been solely on the current season which we felt wasn’t enough, we needed sight of what was coming down the track towards us. Our finances are now structured on a rolling two year basis (with a view to extending that to three years) so that we know exactly what we can spend in year, without compromising the Club’s viability for the following year. As the season ended, we came in on budget without depleting our reserves, which can be drawn on to support plans for the coming season." Now you might not want to believe what she says, but as far as I know, this is the only hard evidence that we have and that tells me that we are not running at a loss. We are not depleting reserves. We are not selling the family silver. We are planning longer term.

Did the chairman’s statement not say that they were now budgeting on a rolling 2 year plan and looking to move that out to 3 years. That sounds to me like longer term planning

Jimmy Bone must be on the list

Dolan will not score against us. MoJo must have at some point Maxie ? McNamara ? Chico ?

If we had a song ready, would it help him decide to come to us ? How about "Thank Scrivens for little goals"

I heard a rumour that the centre circle at firhill is being dug up to create a missile silo for North Korea

But why doesn’t the club deny everything that isn’t happening

Mince nicely describes this entire thread

Why haven't who ? What is the medium for the current shareholders to do so ? As I said, the board may not know any more than we do and the current shareholders are all private individuals.

But the chair may know as little as we do. Remember that the board (as has been reported ad infinitum on here) are not share holders, so will have had little need for contact with anyone wanting to buy any shares that may, or may not be up for sale.

or maybe they were contacted, but nobody was interested in selling and the investors have gone away

Steffan Bonnes, Jorge Cadette

I know he's not started a game yet, but when he does, will KM be the first player to play for 3 Glasgow teams ?

Don't believe everything you read on here

Probably irrational, but when did a football supporter have to be rational. My memory is of him running around like a headless chicken and having no end product, while all the time moaning in the refs ear or flapping his hands at who ever gave him a pass that wasn't right on his toe. I also recall shouting F*** S*** Miller every 5 minutes

One of my least favourite Scotland players ever. Still he is now a Jag, so I hope it is a master stroke by GC.

In the Championship. He will be wanting to move up, not sideways

May the force be with us

It's not about us being interested in Shankland, I am absolutely certain that we would be. More why on earth would he be interested in Thistle (in their current situation).

What about "Who are the trialists ?"

Money laundering?

"We" was probably the wrong word. I meant the current "Thistle Minded" shareholders (of which I am not one)

One other point is that while the new owners may have the best of intentions, at some point they will be wanting to sell and then we will have no say as to what charlatans take over then
