They were all looking for strikers and wingers too. We managed to get them on board quickly. -

Were we not on about 850 this time last week? I kinda hoped the uptake would have been slightly bigger by now given the initial feel good factor coupled with most folk being paid last week. -
Surely your technical director/director of football handles transfers while the manager is on holiday?

I’ve heard we have offered Aaron Muirhead a deal. He’s out of contract at Partick. -

While your comment about 4th does hold some merit, if you take last seasons championship, going into the last game of the season only one team (us) went into it with nothing to play for. Every other side had either promotion or relegation at stake. That kind of set up stops dead rubbers and keeps the competition entertaining. I’m all for that! -

First of me seeing Laidlaw play since he left us. Pretty surprised at some of the stick he was getting from pour fans on here before the game on the evidence of today anyway -

Jammer was a great keeper but I always felt like he looked injured after making saves. His best days are definitely behind him so it’s probably a good time to start planning for the future. -

I think the comment made about Potter driving him to Dundee was a joke mate. It’s a common one used over here for when someone is desperate for someone else to get a job. ‘I’ll drive him there myself’ -

I’d forgotten all about him tbh. I’m not sure what his official connection was to the club. Was he actually employed by us or was he a freelance scout that Murray just liked to use? Given the standard of player signed during the season I don’t think he will be much of a loss anyway! -

The board of directors will know how it played out. Whether he was keen to jump ship or whether he only listened to what they had to say. That same board will be the ones who then make a de idiom on his future if it doesn’t do according to plan. -

I’m of a slightly similar opinion myself. On one hand he’s in the press telling us all how wonderful it is having the new owners and the new management structure while he’s applying for other jobs on the sly. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and give him a chance to build a better squad than he managed last season. If it doesn’t start well though then yeah… f**k him! -

You’re right. Unless they get fit and start putting in stellar performances, we are ‘stuck’ with both until at least January. -

Nolan has been average this season. The fact that Liam Dick has been better than him at centre half when he’s not even a centre half probably probably tells you why he shouldn’t be someone we look to build a team around. If we are looking to improve on this season then replacing average players with better ones is a must. -

I can’t get my head around accounts like that when our owner is a top dog in a global accounting firm! -

Pretty much the way I see it too. I’m hoping he’s bought the lot. The club and the stadium. I’ve always thought having both of them working together is far more beneficial rather than as separate companies with different sets of accounts. As an aside, you’d like to think that the new guy will be in a better position to carry out building and repair work on the stadium too! -

The team 8th in league 1… they were playing in the juniors a few years ago. Have a word with yourself. -

I’d say we already have recovered more than slightly… much to the annoyance of some it would seem. -

Yawn that it’s been done to death. Those in charge made a mistake, owned their mistake and have paid a hefty price. At what point do we stop going on about it and move on? -

That’s the rant of a bitter, jilted ex. I take it you didn’t like Mcglynn? -

Dalziel8 replied to Hank Scorpio's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
I base the ‘backwards’ comment on us finishing 5th and winning the challenge cup last season and finishing 3rd and reaching the playoff semi the season before. Mcgylnn had hellish injury problems to deal with too. It’s nothing new for us. It’s certainly not a ‘Murray out’ rant but a 7th placed finish (if that’s where we end up) is pretty disappointing. -

When you’ve got injury prone players in the squad then you need to balance things out on the probability that you’ll be without said players for chunks of the season. I like Murray but he’s not managed to build on what was a decent squad that he inherited. He’s taken us backwards and the fact he’s friendly and straight talking in interviews can’t paper over the cracks. The squad was crying out for an experienced centre half and a proper number 9 and he’s failed to sign either. He definitely deserves another go next season but he really needs to get it right quickly.
