Surely that's just the 500k grant that's done that though otherwise you'd just be in the same boat or am I missing something here? No idea. Possibly to do with better sponsorship too. I know for a fact that our main sponsor sees us alright. We also have the concerts at the stadium part of the club set up now. Although how much cash the actual club will get from each concert is unknown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange that RR signed him on a 2 year pre- contract yet he doesn’t appear to have played any games for them? Maybe he’s been injured? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full season that tells me they still don’t know for certain Sheerin’s comments made it sound like they’ll need to wait and see. I’m sure he said he has been given rehabilitation work that he can do at the club, then they’ll review his knee after that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Can’t say I’d have been over the moon if we’d got Keatings on loan. Don’t think he’s really done much apart from score against us when he was at Hibs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what his fitness is like at the moment but on paper he's better than any of our striking options. If he could train then possibly, he’s sadly becoming another Toshney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing nearly 800k two seasons on the trot if you don't factor in the 500k govt loan must be a bit of a worry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there's another twist to the story as he's not long tweeted saying he's excited to get the opportunity to play football and he feels fit and ready to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Suffering Bairn Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) See Derby County are going into administration and deducted 12 points. They will go the way of Bury if the don't get a very rich buyer before start of next season. Made me think about our position. How much longer can we survive in the 3rd division?

Reggie Perrin Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 6 hours ago, Caractacus Potts said: Yeh as much as I am concerned with some of our recruitment I’m not buying in to Keatings being the answer. Saying that he’ll probably score against us on Saturday! As for Sheerin, I agree and think he’s fallen in to the modern day managers trap of thinking that playing football ‘the right way’ is more important than results. Ofcourse we don’t want to just see us lumping up the park but we also need players who are pretty streetwise and won’t allow teams to bully us like you say. In our present position results are everything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always seeked to do well against us for Hibs but that was 5 years ago. I was thinking about someone saying about Sheerin playing like a youth coach still and the more I tgink about it I think I agree and I think thats the best way to describe what we seen the last two weeks. I think "we play our system" enables hiding on the pitch and thats why we are getting bullied out of matches. League winning teams dont just need to have attacking prowess. They need to be tough. We arent trying to bring on players here. We are trying to win games and Sheerin telling them its ok as long as we keep passing the ball about is allowing cop outs all over the park. ‘Twas I, but you expanded on it rather well. This is not “no consequences” football, and while Sheerin hardly needs to be told that, I think he is having serious issues in moving on from what he knows into managing/coaching a real life league side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it really does look like if you dont want to get your hands dirty, just keep passing it about and youl get away with it for another week.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
