If you needed proof that Scottish Football is Mickey Mouse or tinpot... the image sums it up perfectly. Sycophant clubs that fall over themselves for the arse-cheeks £'s. As you say, PATHETIC. I wonder if the amount they received was worth selling their soul for? They couldn't have received more than a couple of thousand. It is completely tragic. It'll be the football equivalent of a vaccine if they cheating barstewards go bust. They know they weren't trying that day and it is unforgivable. I hope they die a very quick death.

Maybe something along the lines of Contractors being registered as limited company and paying themselves dividends etc when perhaps they should be seen as permannent employess and therefore liable for PAYE etc. That is purely my take on what I have read it might be nothing like that.

SectionDJambo Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 It could just be that the auditors have found something that an employee or director has been up to within the club. A fraud against St Mirren itself, not a fraud by St Mirren. Not trying to dampen any enthusiasm for bad things happening to St Mirren but let’s not build our hopes up just yet.

Hagar the Horrible Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Its SEVERAL historical issues, so I would suggest they have being doing something amiss for a while, but not necessarily on purpose to do aything they deemed illegal, perhaps saw a loop hole? Anyway what if they did it the board recomended it and its now a POLICE matter rather than an engagement with HMRC to explain their misunderstanding and discuss a remedy. But Police matter suggest something in the accounts has shown up a clear break of the law and over a period that this has gone unoticed. The police themselves have stated Financial Irregularities involving a FOOTBALL club, that suggest the club is the focus rather than the victim. Its word play but here is hoping, could be a good Christmas, with a Cup and St Mirren getting flushed down the dunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
