It would probably make me a bit less likely to travel to an away match but i would be fine with lunchtime kick offs for home matches. Absolutely! The costs all clubs must be facing right now will be insane - they aren't protected by the energy cap - hopefully some form of business support offered as well as the proposed freeze on our own personal bills, otherwise a lot of businesses, not just football clubs, will simply not be viable over the winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Half way through the week and the silence is deafening regarding a striker signing. Are we going another week where we announce nothing. Better hope Gullans fit for Saturday as Connell and McBride won't score goals. Even if it is a foreign striker we can sign him subject to a week permit being granted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in announcing a signing if the permit doesn't get granted or takes 2 months to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Have to admit, if we are waiting any real length of time for a striker then staying in this league would be seen as success. That emphasis increases if Gullan is out for any length of time, which is scary considering how poor the team are in front of goal even with him playing.

No you sign subject to a work permit or you sign a loan player till Christmas. Anyway just not good enough from manager and club that we are into September and still no striker a position that needed addressed in July. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to hear that we are doing something to try and secure a striker instead we hear we need someone then the following Thursday IM tells us nothing or we are no closer. How do you know Frederikson is arriving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know Frederikson is arriving. Would you prefer the manager to more or less confirm players are coming in only for it not to happen? Like he got torn apart on here for doing a few weeks back ? Dick Campbell was saying the other day that they have had deals more or less confirmed then fall through at the last minute. It's frustrating, but it's not just an Ian Murray or Raith Rovers issue - as much as some would love it to be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, you could announce his arrival subject to paperwork but then if you don't get it, you've got to put out an "oh well" statement. Some of the fans on here would be up in arms at that shit too, finding ways to blame the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Frederiksen is an international player which might make some difference to getting a work permit.I believe Murray had targets from Norway earlier in the window that he gave up on due to work permit problems, so he shouldn’t be going into this with his eyes closed. Must be confident he can get it done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
