He was enquired about earlier in the window, he'd need to take a big drop in wages.

How much would you say you've improved since he left?

If you think that's all the imposters gone or going, should meet the board and the people in the background.

Dempster taking credit for the academy going to Elite status is wild. That was Beuker and his staffs work. Dempster has been known to have shown zero interest in the academy in her tenure.

I've heard rumours that Dempster is leaving. Maybe a sacrificial lamb before any AGM etc. It leaves David Hunter to be the guy negotiating transfers.

Scott Brown as manager with Charlie Mulgrew would help build toward Haughey's dream of turning QP into a wee Celtic. Already lets Celtic B play at Lesser over any QP team so makes sense for him to continue down that path.

Coyle never left through his own choice, he was initially hired because he knew Haughey so wasn't an anti-board person at all. He wasn't going to be committed to developing youth players and the programme over the next few years and he made that clear and it was decided it was best that he goes for those reasons.

Means he's away imo.

A lot of structural stuff has been ballsed up as well. The stadium is a white elephant that looks like it will never be used or up to scratch. It lacks basic football amenities but has a dedicated hospitality area for Haughey's cronies. Neither Young Queen's Park or the U18s even are allowed to use it to play games every other week but has been rented out to Celtic's B team and Aberdeen to train on. The club looks like it will never address this with the fanbase. The training facility at Lochinch is largely just the same as it was when acquired. They've only recently hired a groundsman to maintain and improve the grass pitches as Veldman said early doors that they're not up to the standard for a professional team to train on with regularity. They also haven't upgraded and put in another all weather pitch that was promised to Beuker to help run the youth system to it's full potential. There's been a lot of broken promises and failures to deliver in the structural side, the upside is the work done by Beuker on the youth programme side should come fruition in a few years time but there's no doubt part of the reason he'll be leaving shortly is due to the bowling club amateuristic nature of the board.

Having no Scottish coaching staff around Veldman has been a disastrous decision which reeks of hubris. Veldman and his assistant Paul Nuijten don't have a clue how to navigate the division.

Ajax.

Expect Beuker to be announced as away soon.

Too old for him to be interested in.

All the community engagement chat is going to be shown to be a bit hollow if they sign him.

Think the Admiral contract finishes at the end of this season. Likely to be Macron under Dempster.

Do you have any examples of the loads of evidence to have a look at? The academy has been neglected. They don't have a training facility or even a block booking with one and have been training significantly less than every other club involved in Club Academy Scotland for well over a year now.

The structure at the club is it's Haughey's money and he's calling the shots. Doubt he'll have any interest in communicating or answering to the average punter and the people in official roles aren't going to go off message at all to upset him. He's given his mate Jim Simmonette an unoffical role running the youth academy despite him being unqualified to do so and there already being Gardner Spiers and a host of qualified coaches who were running the academy beforehand. The club is pretty much a plaything now. I don't think it will end well.

The new regime have done next to nothing to support the youth academy so far. The Lesser Hampden debacle has meant the youth academy has been without a training ground for over a year now, the club has been incapable or unwilling to find or fund a replacement facility so the youth academy squads train roughly 2 hours a week in total on half a 7 a side pitch at Toryglen (as they cram as many of the squads on one pitch as they can). Substantially less time and in poorer conditions than any other club in the Club Academy Scotland system, in fact behind the set-up for most well run boys clubs. The academy was training on public parks earlier in the year to try and make up for the hours of training the club wouldn't fund or find. The club love to use the U18s and the academy for a bit of a PR and buzzwords in statements but are doing very little to support it.
