1988: Manager, John Lambie, resigns and moves to Partick Thistle. Assistant Manager, Jim Dempsey took over with Gerry Collins as Player/Coach while Billy McLaren came in as Reserve Team Coach. John Lambie in an interview felt that he had taken the club as far as he could without the necessary cash to bring in new players.

1999: The Hamilton Advertiser carried a report to the effect that a supporters group had drawn up plans to take over the club. Led by Steve Mungall, the people involved had had talks with Director Jim Watson, who had said that he was “prepared to listen to offers for the club”. This idea had come about following the new Government proposals aimed at giving supporters the opportunity to create “community clubs”. It is understood that under the scheme, a trust would fund the start-up and running costs of non-profit-making trusts which would either manage existing blocks of supporters shares or underwrite the management costs in a take-over bid. The funding for would be met by The Co-operative Bank.
