Old receptionist taking Livi to court. If she wins we could go bust.
Why do Livi treat people like this?

Surely, Livi could force Livi bust? Farce!

If the club genuinely can't pay any judgement against them of this magnitude then It really shows the stories Misdeameanor heard were "just so stories"

Love going to Livi games and it would break my heart not having them to follow, but i wouldn't go anywhere near Livi FC with my business, it's like the never go into business with friends or family saying, recipe for disaster. |

Could always try and add seven thousand two hundred pounds onto Knox's transfer fee, that free kick setting up our goal against The Rangers must be worth a wee added extra.

Exactly JS; if the club is as strapped for cash as this article claims then it should be accepting the alleged offer for the lad. Of course, maybe it is only an alleged offer.

This story has only been reported in this one newspaper, to my knowledge.
There is nothing in any other newspaper I have looked in.
There is nothing on the OS
Nothing about this is mentioned on the BBC Red Button in either the football section, the Edinburgh Lothians and Fife news section nor the Edinburgh Lothians and Fife sports section.
If this is genuinely true then could someone organise a bucket collection at tomorrow's game and/or the playoff against Stranraer? If we average 1000 people at a home game and ask everyone to donate one hour's pay, we would be able to settle this claim.

Why have the club not taken action to recover the monies owed by Dixon. 2. Why should we finance Rankine, Dixon, MacDougall and all the other cohorts. This is an internal employment issue, nothing to do with football. If these custodians of our club are found to be liable then let them sue each other in order to pay the compensation. 3. The pleading of take pity on us or we may go bust is just a smoke screen. Do you honestly think that all these guys who have invested money in the club would risk the chance of losing their investment over £7500. I think not! We have heard it all before |

my figures could be wrong, so could someone correct me, there were over 4000 Rangers fans at the game last week, tickets cost £15 - £20, giving Livi gate money between £60,000 and £80,000, hardly skint I would say

Why should we finance them? Because we owe them money maybe?

I wasn't referring to the individual involved in the tribunal; Nixon, Rankine and McDougall are "officially" no longer directors of Livi5 or LFC.... They are however creditors of LFC, NB I put officially in quotes due to persistent rumours that one or more of those 3 remain involved in an unofficial capacity. I have no knowledge to the veracity of these rumours. |

As far as I'm concerned mcdougall was the only one of them who did anything for the club without him putting in £10k of his own money the transfer embargo wasn't getting lifted

Just because of the recent shenanigans where he has fallen out of favour with the current board, we must not forget his past contribution to Livi and honour any debt owed to him. |

I think you will find that all of the recent folk who have been involved with the club Nixon, Rankine, McDougall have put money and hours in. And all of them have also done things that didn't help. The last 10+ years have seen such poor governance that we are a bit of a laughing stock.

Sadly we have been the 'laughing stock' for far too long and I never liked two of the characters you mentioned, only really trusted Gordon. However, going back into our history since re-locating to Livingston we have always had 'interesting characters running the club with controversy always around the corner even during our heyday period

Regarding he £7500 I do not think that will be a problem to pay should it come to that. The problem we have here and it is a problem is all the negativity and yes I have been known to have negative comments in the past but I have learned in recent days not to have been short sighted. I cannot believe the amount of almost hatred some of you post here. Some of you despise the club, what you write with negative comments and ill truths has a knock on effect on the club itself, there are many fans who will look at this site and the comments made. Your sometime`s despicable comments (and Im as guilty) show the problem we have, a deep rooted problem of hatred and negativity designed by many to stop others attending or believing in the club by consistently posting what they believe to be happening behind closed doors.
May I ask, for those comments that are of this nature I assume you have all invested heavily in the club over the past twenty years hence your desire to see it collapse to the ground?
Positivity belief, and backing is what we need, all of us. We can forget about what has gone on in the past, we cannot change that, what we can change is the future. Im not asking or stating we throw heavy monies at the club, but we need to back this regime, like it or not. If you don`t, then stay clear of the club. All of need more than ever to back this club. We can make a difference but we need to believe we can, we need to show support, and we need to change out thought process (me included)

I don't believe any of us want the club to go out of existence, we are openly critical when there is something to criticise and most give credit where it is due when there is something to praise. Frankly that is acceptable. Especially when the club chooses not to communicate with its support base.

Reading the recent "open letter" I would venture to suggest the scale of this case was blown out of proportion by the media. I've not seen anything to suggest it has been sorted but the open letter also said that the money Nixon was to pay had been resolved so maybe this has also "gone away"... Or it could still be awaiting final decision.
