That said, it's clear there's some pretty major issues behind the scenes. I'm not for a second suggesting Ross McArthur has to step down but at the very least him and AJ should seriously consider their future at the club.

Shandon Par Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 In line with looking far to much into it I would presume that our targets are currently with a club, although may be out of favour and we're waiting for them to leave, who would fit that bill? McShane from County, Shiels has just been released... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Would you stop fucking teasing that? The last thing I need in the pool later is the thought of Fez signing and getting aroused. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Sensible statement as always from the chairman but I would ask how other sides managed to recruit better players when their income seems lower, in terms of crowds. If we can recruit quality a month into the season then it is worth waiting but it could backfire. Perhaps the Reilly effect is still being felt.[emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Morton over the last few seasons have recruited better players as one example. They have a similar background to us over a five year period with an extra season in the championship. I think with our attendances and centenary fund we should be able to match them on the pitch. They recruited players of quality early and plugged gaps whereas we went the other way. I'm not saying it's a disaster yet but the recruitment has been behind other clubs for whatever reason. Bad planning, luck or a bit of both? We also seem to only be offering one year deals, could be putting off a few targets? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Morton haven't strengthened this summer in my opinion. Anyone else? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 They've got more depth upfront, however if we'd signed McHugh and Harkins our fans would be saying how shit they were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, maybe you wouldn't have got humped by the likes of Cowdenbeath and Raith Rovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed higgy last season on the 18th of July, Clark in august. Resigned cardle and Murdoch on the 20th the year before. We signed Reilly in early June. I think AJ might be right in waiting for better quality players. 8 minutes ago, roman_bairn said: Funny, that response seems to be rather common when you lose a friendly.

Why do you think it's a wind up? I'd agree that an isolated defeat probably means nothing but you lot have had four consecutive thumpings. You can carry on believing there's no issue and it will all be all right on the night. Personally I rather suspect that there's a more serious underlying issue and I would be a bit concerned if we were so underprepared looking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
