Hound good news to come out of it, is it seems no one has a bad word to say about the owners themselves so far. Hopefully they'll be around a lot longer than Gourlay will be


I’d say “naive” isn’t a great glowing recommendation.

Except the usual nonsence on social media that they will demolish the stadium and redevelop the site.

It is very easy to put your trust in the wrong person. You cannot argue with Gourlay's CV either, they had no reason to think he wouldn't do a good job.

I emailed Star two weeks ago suggesting they write direct to the Chinese. Making sure not to criticise them but how the club is currently run and managed

hughsies no.1 Things look like they are moving behind the scenes - you'll notice on the appointment of the new DOF, Meite contract etc he wasn't present in the photos where previously he would have been. Owners must be wising up to it all.

Hang on a sec. Meite getting a 4 year contract can't be evidence of Gourlay being shit as well Gourlay not being in the photos evidence that the owners are easing him out.

Top photo of this story would suggest Gourlay had a hand in this bizarre decision.

That's a fair summary.

Delboy is so far the only supporter to write to us in this vein. Understand where he's coming from. The road to where he wants to get is paved with obstacles some of which we've stumbled over several times before. As he says it's not a question of spend more money now, it's more complex.

So for the record if more supporters get in touch with concerns about Gourlay you will endorse/organise a supporters protest against him?
