roman_bairn Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 No, most don’t know what goes on inside it either sadly Sadly, present incumbents excepted, our last couple of managers didn’t either.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever fee will be absolutely minimal, O'Hara had his contract extended for Furlough but it was out of contract within a month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Hara hit double figures in the league above us, got a similar number of assists and won Alloa's POTY. He might improve at the pars or he may play the way he played whilst at us and stenny. Who knows. 3 year contract isn't worth the gamble. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a development fee that Alloa would be entitled to but even then it wouldn’t have been much after 1 season at a club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if he's shit you've got a player hanging about for 3 years. Nisbet had at least scored a Barrowload the season before all you've got to gamble on is 10 goals in 27 matches which is hardly anything special. Trouten scored 8 this season in only 19 games and 10 last season in 30 or something so you cant even say its great because its alloa.

I'm still not sure he'll make it either. Struggled at Plymouth and yet to score for partick. I liked his effort and enthusiasm but wasn't surprised when rangers let him go. Big season for him coming up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 With Partick joining the fray, this feels very like the Championship year when Accies reeled in the big cash for McCarthy and MacArthur, and good old Martin was happy to tell folks “well, you know, we really can’t be competing with Hamilton and their money, play offs need to be seen as a realistic target”.Without having a Martin to do the cold water pouring, everything so far seems to be sending out a similar message. It’s going to take a brilliant bit of recruitment or several chunks of luck to take what we have, add to it, and come up with a seaside league winning team.That old saying of “the more things change, the more they remain the same” seems about right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can get him fit, with Graham and Lyons they will score plenty in this league which doesn't bode well for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always felt he lost that electric pace he came into the side with and never seemed to recover it. That was a major part of his game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to be very difficult to get out of this league and, to do so, we need a couple of energetic attacking midfielders and another forward, assuming that Dowds is coming. Apart from a RB I’m not too worried about the defence as Dixon is quite versatile and so too is Miller. To do well we need some quality players and for that to happen we need cash. I don’t know the state of the finances but I’d be up for some kind of crowdfunder purely for the playing budget. ive already bought ST’s and paid the full whack but I know quite a lot of folks who would happily pay some extra to get some quality in. The finances are absolutely fine. Our two largest shareholders are multi-millionaires. How about they dip their hands in their pockets for a change and rectify the shambles that their ownership has oversaw rather than us mugs volunteering to organise crowdfunders? Jesus fu*king wept!!

The Board of Directors and MSG have no obligation to put any more of their money into the club than they already have in the same way fans have no obligation to contribute to a crowdfunder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Call me an idealist but if Ritchie and Alexander were really of a mind to help the club then dipping into their pockets to fund a few decent signings to get us promoted would be a given.Easy for me to spend their money I know but they probably wouldn’t even notice the money had gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
