From what I gather they've signed a boy they had on loan last season, basically what we've done with McGill and extended a few players contracts. They've probably done the same amount of business we have at the moment. However the belief that Murray is sitting at home twiddling his thumbs not interested in continuing to try and source players/extend contracts with us is hilarious, I'm sure he's doing what we he can whilst things rumble in the background. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnyPar Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Yeah not sure how we're making in roads on new signings, only one new signing as Rathie mentions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) We’ve also got to plenty others at the club who will be assessing and identifying targets, regardless of who the manager is or will be. It’s not like everything has ground to a halt. Be patient, it’s May. Edited May 26, 2023 by Hank Scorpio 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I say they’ve signed anyone, they have a manager making “inroads” like any manager I suppose. Our manager might be gathering information on new players or identify players for Dundee. If we have others within the club identifying potential signings what’s the point in having a manager?

Michael W Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) Football's still being played and we've signed two new players. OK, one of them was on loan last season, but he's now our player and is someone that we don't have to find a replacement for. We have also managed to keep our top scorer. At this point in time, that's good going. Edited May 26, 2023 by Michael W 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know McPake is making inroads? Define "inroads" - is it making contract offers? Phoning some c**t's agent? Is it opening The WyScout application and jerking off at some non league jobber Cryuff turning some c**t on a YouTube compilation?

Been going too long Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Im pretty relaxed about the Murray situation because of the new structure at the club and Connolly mentioned it on his signing video saying « Potts had shared the vision of what they want to do » we appear to have a more cohesive structure in place and not relying on one man. I personally think Murray would be daft to take the Dundee job as you don’t get much time there and he is a slow builder kinda guybut understand why he would ( bigger club, premier league etc) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way the new structure works means that we're not reliant on the manager to make signings. Manager will identify targets along with Potter and a shortlist is drawn up Potter and Barrowman will speak to players on that list, and try to sell the idea to the players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 It's also more likely than not that Murray is still here for the rest of the season, so it's in his interest to continue working on prep for the Rovers. Apart from maybe one afternoon when he's gone up to Dundee for an interview, I imagine it's mostly been business as usual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
