I wasn't going to do an article on this given that it's all speculation but then I thought, why the hell not?
So, apparently we're fecked if you listen to the rumours, which are:
Thompson has fallen out with all the investors who have given soft loans. This is primarily due to the fact that he's stalled paying them back while at the same time taking all his own money back. Lorraine Kelly isn't even going to the games anymore because of it.
The players are apparently getting paid late, and many have been asked to take wage cuts. Simon Murray was apparently offered a new contract then had that withdrawn and offered a contract on less money.
The club is making massive losses - £1.5m according to the accounts published last week - and we are relying on loans from the boy up in Aberdeen who is happy to give loans with 6% interest attached.
So those are the rumours. I tend to treat these rumours with a pinch of salt since we've heard them all before and we hear them about various clubs and nothing ever happens. Rangers have been about to go into admin again about 10 times in the last 5 years, Killie are apparently always on the verge and the Dees have apparently been about to go into admin a few times too.
If it does happen - a very big if - i'll be embarrassed and ashamed that it's happened.
And then I'll do what I can to save my club.
However I'm not convinced it'll get to that stage and I hope it never does.
Hopefully the players are still together and we can produce an incredible performance and result on Friday.

Do you owe the tax man?
If not then admin is unlikely.
