Jaggy Snake Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 7 minutes ago, Elementary Penguin said: It's only not a finance issue, if McNeil wasn't among those summoned for a chat with Innes/Chapman (he wasn't mentioned among those who have left previously). If his options were 80 a week here or his regular income elsewhere, well, he's had his decision made for him, surely? He's got what he wants, i doubt he'll rock any boats about misrepresentations on a club page. McNeil was still under contract. We’ve clearly offered some players extensions on lower wages than their previous deals but I’ve not seen anything to suggest we’ve tried to renegotiate existing contracts down.

haufdaft Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I'm glad that the club is clearing out the highly paid flops from last season. I'm also pretty certain our "£80/week players" will finish in a significantly higher league position than their predecessors that some on here seem disappointed to lose.

FREDDYFRY Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 It looks like he just did not want to be here; disappointing as he is a decent player. Decent, no more than that but certainly much better than the other imposters we had last year, Higgins, Gibson, Perry, Finnie.....I could go on. Not unexpected that he was going, so I would like to think there was someone else lined up; Ramsay I suppose, not that I know much about him to be honest. I assume that will see another couple of players coming in and I really hope that one of them if not more is an actual midfield player who can get about the pitch, has a touch and can actually pass the ball; not much to ask for eh?

Let's see where we end remember last year ( myself included) thought we would be challenging for the league so wouldn't take anything for granted.

I was the same. Then again, I'm the same every preseason. This one is no different.As they say, it's better to travel in hope than to arrive and be disappointed.

cfcuk Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Would have liked to have kept mc Neill but looks like both him and the club are happy to part company. It looks from the outside like Chapman is working with one hand tied behind his back can't be good with only 12 fit players. Hopefully a few signings will be made this week.

Clyde01 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 A few more quid saved on wages, a few more quid to fritter away on project relocate and a poorer quality player drafted in as a replacement. Good business all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haufdaft Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 What the f**k does that even mean, Socrates? You, quite figuratively, can only be disappointed if you had any kind of hope or pre-existing desire of what you'd want at the start of your journey!! If the journey is that of the 36 match kind, then some objectivity among the crushing disappointment helps you through it immensely, i find. That may manifest itself in sounding like a greetin' faced b*****d, and if it does, its a tag i wear with enormous pride. I'm one of the few honest ones you'll find in our crowd, i'll tell you that for free. As I said, I start every season with hope. It may be misguided at times but it's there.In recent seasons, I'm usually disappointed.Sometimes the journey (36 matches) is the only reward.It doesn't take an ancient Greek philosopher (or Brazilian midfielder) to see what I meant.Incidently, I can be as greeting faced as anyone.I also feel that the "honest" fans are the vast majority of our support. You may not agree with many of them but their opinions are as valid as anyone elses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the obvious absence of the former, the latter has corrupted, just short of absolutely.

haufdaft Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Chairman's call to arms was expected and welcome. I do however think that the fans are the one positive we've had in these terrible years. Success on the park is the only surefire way to increase attendances.I'm looking forward to hearing the plans. He certainly talks a good game. However, talk is cheap, which is just as well as Clyde couldn't afford it otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
