I'm sure we are only due to play you at home once and have already moved a fixture. You'd probably prefer to play us at our place right enough.

Think people need to come off it with the 'won't give Clyde any money' patter because of Goodwillie. Controversially I'm sure you wouldn't be saying that if we were lucky enough to have him up top. Another good win, let's hope we can build on it rather than have our usual couple of wins followed by some defeats. We will see though.

Oh the tears.

I see no way back for Airdrie this season and promotion play offs are a long way off as well imo because they're at least 5 better teams than us on what I've seen so far. Even if we get shot of Murray which I highly doubt will happen this season seems like a dead rubber already. Hes no where near brutal enough and hangs onto hope that there are very small glimpses of what can be achieved. I called it after the Livi game that we should have cut our losses and could almost forgive the board for not acting then as it was defeat to a Premier team, however the signs were there and have been there for the 2 and a bit years hes been in charge. Barring that spell that took us to the top of the league last season we've been rotten and ultimately stagnated. I suspect we don't really have the funds to pay him off either which is understandable at this time but we also don't have the funds to buy into his serial failure style of football for much longer.

OK BoB.

Is today the day?🤔

Exactly. We've tried and failed for many a year to get out of this league with the same model year on year, things needed freshened up and it looks like we are going in the right direction. Everyone must get behind it or it'll never be a full success. Looking forward to the next announcement.

Its no even the getting it up people that we should be keeping our eyes on, its the very fact that everyone and anyone is writing this off before its even started, here's hoping they're wrong and it catches them off guard, its about doing our own business now and tunnel vision is very much required.

I don't have a grievance other than with the article suggesting it's a money making scheme. There's going to be more opportunities than Thomas Robert for us to make money from this setup. Enjoy the ride.

A development fee for one (shortened) season will amount to bugger all. We are unlikely to know the ins and outs of said deals that being even if there is very little fee generated its still more than has been in previous years. He could also turn out to be a total star and fire us well on our way to getting out of this league. I genuinely don't see your grievances here, we've stayed in this league with a total failure of a setup these changes could be the catalyst to changing our fortunes.

How do you sell on a player who has only signed a 1 year deal? A January transfer would be a nominal fee given all that is left of the contract or it will be pre contract/free in the summer. Sure we would be due some sort of development fee at a minimum. I've also heard that a deal is already done for the boy to move on.

Its important now more than ever that we get it right on the first team pitch and if that means no academy then so be it, like you said its not as if we've produced player after player from it, can't really think of any in the last 5 years that are good enough to take us where we want to be.

Exciting times.

Hopefully Millar is next, solid player for his position and really impressed last season.

Seen this on twitter, wouldn't mind some clarity on it...
