Gutted, just cannot see any reason for this whatsoever - it's certainly not the peanuts St Mirren are paying for him!

We have now lost all our attacking threat out of the squad since Xmas - why oh why oh why?

Not wasting any more of my time, money or effort on them this season. Billy Reid hang your head.

Can you blame him for moving to a much bigger club with much better players in a much better league?

Can't blame him one bit and I think it's a cracking move for him, far bettter than if he went to Dundee Utd and I wish him every success with St Mirren. I do however think we should've held out for more cash, if it is the £35k as reported then I'd say we could've held out for more considering he still had 18 months left on his contract.

Oh well, hopefully Billy knows what he's doing and has a suitable replacement lined up either to bring in or one of the younger players alrready at Accies but whoever takes his place will have big boots to fill as imrie was fantastic at Accies. Onwards and upwards.

I doubt it would have been Reids choice to sell him. He will have been one of your higher earners and getting him off the wage bill as well as getting some wedge in for him will maybe help balance the books or something. He is a good player though even if he is a wee scrote and plenty of our fans are whining about him simply because he was always a niggly wee b*****d when he played against us. They will soon change their tune though.

There is no chance of Accies getting promoted so getting shot of the higher earners is probably a priority anyway. That is exactly what happened to us in season 2001/2002 after we were relegated and it was obvious we had no chance of promotion. We had to punt players left right and centre to balance the books and nearly got ourselves relegated from the first. Good luck!

So basically our season is mirroring yours in 01/02, which would mean we'll go back up in 2016. Nice one!

Damn! I really wouldn't wish THAT on you. The promotion was alright of course but the seasons leading up to it were pretty horrific. Particularly the 01/02 effort and the one following it. Just horrific stuff.

The way things are at the moment I'd happily wait four years for promotion, even if the seasons in between were horrific.

Just read that Imrie is probably leaving for a paltry £35k. Simply pathetic, is the club in such a state that we can't hold on to one of our more influential players for what amounts to buttons. When I read that Dundee Utd had offered £25k I thought that was an insult but this is little better. I think sometimes we make too much of not wanting to stand in the players way but there must be a point at which you put the club first. We've been rank rotten this season but surely giving players away isn't the way forward. £35k? That's less than Ronnie spends on his wife's motor. I can only assume that the chairman has decided the town won't get behind the club and that long term it ain't worth the investment. Trim the budget and maintain the club at the level the town deserves, mid table first division at best, alternating between relegation to and promotion from the second division every now and again. Won't be long till Billy is recruited by Partick, Morton or another club that has a bit more ambition and a stronger support.

To be fair all you have left this season is the Ramsdens final and he is suspended for that.

Well, you aren't getting promoted this season and he was on "SPL wages" for another season and a half. Getting some capital in for him as well as removing a high wage of the weekly outgoings will help your cash flow. I spoke to your chairman a few months ago not long after the season had started and he reckoned your income for this season will be reduced to around a fifth of what it was in the SPL. There's virtually no money going into the coffers on matchday so 35k isn't so bad. Especially when there aren't exactly a host of Scottish clubs spending ANYTHING.

35k is his market value as that's all anyone was prepared to pay.

Well that's the thing. Better for him to leave now and for us to have half a season to let someone new settle into the team rather than if goes in the summer and we're desperately scrambling for a replacement.

we will be looking for 4th this weekend and i think there's a great chance as partick are playing dundee and morton are playing ross county so we're climbing

I've a feeling either Partick or Morton will get a result but 4th is certainly not outwith the realsm of posibility for us this weekend which would be a massive improvement.

[accies4life]

The team is looking strong, i'm quite positive of a high finish we could even overtake dundee.

Redmond is always brilliant on the ball, same with Routledge

Jon Mcshane is making good progress to

But the most noticable is Andy Ryan he has been fantastic in all his games, he will definitely become a great player

Interesting article re: Cerny this weekend. Accies definitely seem to be forming a habbit of forcing injured players nearing the end of their contract out of the door. Leaving them, seemingly, to fend for their medical expenses out of their own pockets?

Disgusting little club they've become - i'm well rid of them

It must be a big step to change the team you support. What has drove you to that?

Also why does your signature say in Russian - "Reid Must Go!"? Thought you were "well rid of them"?

As for the article - I was shocked by it. Can't believe Cerny had to fund almost £4000 of his own treatment with Hamilton actually delaying his recovery by a couple of months. What's that all about?

If Cerny's injury isn't one that is going to hamper him in the future then I'd love to see us go for him. I can't really see it though because Douglas will have another season in him. I'd prefer Cerny but there's no room for him and Douglas.
