well fan for life

Just looked him up and they emptied him 6 months into a 3 year deal. Also, weirdly, there's a whole load of PAS Giannina stickers have appeared all over lampposts near my house. Maybe Bazooka Joe's moving his crypto empire back to the west of Scotland.

Yes. Which is honestly staggering to think about.

Even just a season of not lurching between crises would be pretty sound to start with.

Presumably everything is NDA'd up to the tits at this point so other than him giving that interview to the BBC last week we'll hear hee haw else until they've drawn up the investment plan and passed it on to the WS for perusal.

Spittal vs Celtic for me. The wee turn and drop off from Miller before Spittal bends it into the top corner. Beautiful.

Blaney's a big, brave laddie and we can probably just about make that work. Would keep him around but I'd like to see us sign someone in the summer to hold the defence together like Butcher did before his legs exploded.

Sam Foley actually looked like a half decent option but Graham Alexander didn't seem to agree.

Again, the COVID years are not canon. However I think our perspectives were all fucked due to watching Robbie Crawford being left to play midfield through a stream that chucked it every 5 minutes.

My overarching memory of Maguire is that game St Johnstone cuffed us 5-1 while he played at centre back. Looked like he'd never played fitba before. Then he managed to win new deals by hitting corners with both feet which appeared to only impress Jock Brown during the Covid years. This should not be taken into consideration for his future as the Covid years are not a canon event.

Oh aye absolutely. We can't put the whole blame at his feet for our failings this season. He is a tragically bad football player, make no mistake.

I'm not sure what replays you've seen but it's onside. Fortunately the last defender is holding the cut of the pitch while failing to stop the cross. Shaw is just utter humpty. But on the subject of terrible football players, that lad Youan is a good laugh. Runs faster than just about anyone in the league but absolutely hopeless with a ball at his feet.

Totally forgot he was a thing so honestly I'm not arsed.

I suspect Dan Casey might be a better player when he's no spent the close season necking pints of Guinness while he's sizing up his options. He's capable at this level for sure but has been up and down all season. Davor is fine, he's better than a lot of the shite we've stuck in there in the last few years but he's not a world beater. Happy to have him as a hod carrier for people who are a bit more capable of creating things. Halliday I'm also happy to hold judgement on til he's had a full pre season. He'd barely kicked a ball in months before turning up in January.

Oli fucking Shaw, man. I'm no hanging the blame entirely on him but he's a complete waste of a shirt. We'd have been better off sticking Bevis up there.

You think I'll be worried about Europe if we miraculously make top 6? I'll be too busy laughing myself to death.

Kettlewell making tactical changes to win us points from a losing position again?

It's been over a decade since this and I am still furious at McCall for his build up to this game. We shat the bed a week before a ball was even kicked.

I think we're not desperate for investment, but it'll help us secure things longer term. Unfortunately we can't sell a Turnbull every 6 months so we need to look at other things. However I do wonder what the Well Society's idea would be long term. On Saturday there they had a lot of folk cutting about with flags etc. but there's a ceiling for the number of folk who will join due to the size of our fanbase. Having folk out rattling buckets for contributions isn't going to change much and, at worst, suggests we're really *really* fucked. We absolutely should be wary of snatching money. But we should carefully consider offers. Obviously there's going to be ones like the Aussie offer which seemed to come with a million red flags attached. But if it's that some wealthy c**t wants to shoulder a bit of our running costs for a few percent then it's absolutely worth considering. If the Well Society have anything about them they'll take the details of this and turn it into an investment for dummies level of summary so that people who aren't clued up on these things can digest it and make a decision. People like me, essentially.

There is also the possibility that a wealthy investor could give us the breathing space to actually grow fan ownership into something that isn't just for making ends meet. For example if there was someone US based who had perhaps sold an engineering company to make a fortune. They then might want to help us get fan ownership working with their input. Would be unthinkable though.

Just because folk pay 10 quid a month doesn't mean they should immediately be informed of everything the club does. Not sure there's much merit in giving the details of a relatively complex financial arrangement that publicly names the interested party out to a load of people who have absolutely no idea how this stuff works. For me the club have done the correct thing here. There's an interested party, the initial details have been deemed acceptable enough to fully explore so they are doing that before putting it out to the shareholders including the Well Society. All this coming off the back of the exploratory vote that said fans would consider outside investment.

Famously a great source of factual information.

Not to sound all sensible here but would it not make sense to hear what the terms are before we either bin it or take it?

Can't work out what's more shocking. The development around investment or that big Jon Obika's out for Saturday.

SOD better win POTM or you lot are dead to me.
