At what point would anyone in the right frame of mind think that signing wouldn’t cause a problem?

Bye bye ek!

Congrats to spartans. Part of the lowland league foundations. Solid team throughout. Many may have thought the ship had sailed for you guys after a few close calls. Brilliant to see yous make it. All the best.

Would need to be bonkers to sign goodwillie after all the negative press pw. Would be a clusterfuck of a decision to bring him in.

Im far from being “in the loop.” But i usually hear about alot of things before they become public knowledge. This must be a piss take. The club wouldn’t go down that road. And i hope to f**k the new management team wouldnt be daft enough to even consider it. I can say right now, as a fact. If that is a road they were willing to go down, i wont be back.

Theres no danger. This would be football suicide. Hell mend them if they even considered it.

Dont be a silly billy.

Congratulations to spartans. Hopefully yous can complete the job.

Silly old me.

Shit patter. At least you’re consistent though.

We have also signed players from leagues above and we are still struggling in lowland league. But i take your points on board. Hopefully mick can get us moving and give you that local “away” game you are after mate.

I have never once seen a kelty fan on here with there eyes closed to the fact that money was driving them through the leagues. Money helps create the enviroment that you talk about. And that enviroment no doubt helps. its not easy to go through the leagues like they have. Even with mobey being flung at it. It needs to be spent wisely. My own club are testament to that. Spent fortunes and are still where we started.

The notion that clubs need to be honest about there “ambition” is bizzare to say the least. Surely every clubs ambition is to be as good as they can be. Money or no money. kelty were backed well. Spent the money they had wisely and progresed through the leagues. But this somehow annoyed you because the money men never came on p&b and declared they were minted. They did create an enviroment for there players, and there facilities for the level were good. I dont see why that would be a problem for you? If someone on the board of your club won the lottery and decided to plough it into your club, would you be happy with that? Or would the added “ambition” not be for you?

I honestly think if he went to albion rovers tomorrow, he would be able to put together a squad that would improve them. His contact list in the game seems to be very decent. Ive no doubt he would improve a team at the bottom overnight. Thats just my opinion. Could be miles off. Guys do want to play for him. In not daft. I know money is a main factor to most. But he does seem to be a draw for players money aside. just think its harsh to label him as a money manager. He is well thought of and thats why he has ended up at clubs with wealthy backers. Thats the way it goes. Ps, you wont need to be on here much to gauge the opinion of the ek support. Theres about 4 of us.

Most of them are on a 2 year deal.

He takes alot of stick on here. Most of it is the green eyed monster type of stick right enough. No doubt, he is a bit flashy. And has alot to say for himself. But i dont mind it. The guy just loves football. And fair play to him, he comes on here and has his say when he feels the need to. I’ve played against his teams when he was in the ametures. He was the same then. Just wanted to win. And most of the time he did. he has always had the money thing flung at him. Even when he was at colville. Guys getting paid for every goal they scored and all that shite. There was probably a wee bit of truth in it. But not the arms and legs it grew to. One thing that is for sure though is he is a fantastic man manager. Boys want to play for him. He creates an enviroment that guys want to be around. He has shown that all the way through. The core of his side at darvel came with him from colville park. He is undoubtly a gamble at this level. And it could go tits up. But the appointment has got me perked up more than most other options. Cheque book manager is the cry. And what? Is he meant to set his bar at the relegation hopefulls? He is a decent manager. Thats why he is getting touted at clubs with money. i,ve no idea how this will pan out. And knowing ek it will probably end in missery. But feck it. Its been some ride so far. Best of luck mick.

I know mate. As it was taken. You’re one of the decent posters on here.

You can remove your tongue from your cheek now my friend i get what you’re saying.

Yeah thats what its all about. That was the main criteria the ek board looked at. Who will bring the most attention as next manager? Tadger.

You sound upset pw?

Its what we do best.

Facts.

They will do well to hold on to him. He is well thought of at the sfa. He will end up full time there.
