I see the EFL are being unnecessarily negative and impossible to please as well.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

I notice the Facebook group haven't read the article and are blaming Lee Power.
Reminding me of the iconic Daily Mail comment ' IS TONTY BLAIR BEHIND THIS'.

I do find some of the people that post comments on that Facebook page quite 'interesting'. (being extremely diplomatic with my language here) After Clem's interview, which included the bit about the court cases and the fact we might face a fine - "Wow, Clem is fantastic, so honest and you really have to give him credit for coming out and explaining the situation - in Clem we trust etc etc" The Adver then run with a story explaining we might face a fine as an outcome of the court cases and the share ownership etc - "fucking Adver, they are such shit-stirrers reporting this (the facts)" |

It's fair to say that there are both people who will not see any concerns with the current ownership regardless of any evidence presented, and people who think they are the most wretched hive of scum and villainy anywhere in the galaxy, but I think there are far more with views somewhere in between those two poles. The issue seems to be that both "sides" see the most unreasonable exponents of the other view as 'typical' and spend more time raging at those than they do engaging with the more nuanced people in the middle. Not that this is a situation restricted to STFC ownership issues! |

Yep. Facts is facts, some on FB do have their head so far deep in the sand they are visiting Clem in Oz. |

Those accounts of Seebeck should have been filed months ago shouldn’t they? Does that count as a Clem ‘oversight’?

Did we have a club secretary in place in August - September time last year?
Not that it would have made any difference if Clem chose to keep it all to himself.
Buck stops with owner on this one if we are fined, I'm afraid.
There's no I in team Clem mate.

Its potentially an oversight, albeit who it can be laid at the door of is less c;lear. From experience if you employ an accountant they tell you what needs to be done and when, and if you get close to or miss the deadline they keep bloody contacting you about it! So the unknown is whether the accountants have fucked up and missed the deadline or whether they have asked/told Clem it has to be done and he has not instructed or provided whatever they need. Ultimately if a fine is levied the directors will have to pay it, albeit I suspect if its an accountants fuck up a counter claim will be lodged to cover it off. |

Have to agree with both of these comments. Politics in particular (fully aware there is another thread so won't bang on about it too much here) is so massively divisive and that divisiveness has crept into STFC fandom here, and I imagine football in general. I guess pretty much everyone is on SM these days and have their opinion so it's difficult to avoid, or agree in many cases. |

No need to sell 5.5k ST's then is there for those people!  Actually the prize is New York this year rather than Oz isn't it? |

I really do hope that when the fine comes from the FL & anything from companies house that this is paid out of Clem's pocket not the FC, Clem has made it clear it was his decision not to make public the shareholding change and not tell the FL, so hopefully he takes it on the chin and coughs up and publicly states he has paid it out of his pocket.
Maybe this should be something the Trust should be discussing.
