The Queen of the South thread


Recommended Posts

Stranraer now managed by ex- Queens man Jamie Hammil and another ex- Queens man Scott Robertson is 1st team coach , don't laugh but Scott Robertson has  actually got a job coaching players to play football.

As previously said on here our pre season starts on Thursday and we only had 5 signed players. With all the rumours from last season of players and management falling out will it be difficult for us to tempt players to sign for us. I would imagine there would be a lot of trialists in pre season and again AJ having to peice together a squad good enough to stay on the division. We seem to be very slow at signing players as other teams are well ahead on recruitment and also the wages we offer are nowhere near other championship clubs can offer. Interesting to see what level of players we get. 🤞🤞

New Goalkeeper needed, Ferguson joins Larne... 

That's strange.   Some posters had previously suggested that players were going to be queuing up to sign or re-sign for the club on hearing the news that the master tactician and his glamorous assistant had signed new two year contracts.  If anything, it appears to be the complete opposite!

Can't say I remember many folk claiming players would be queuing up to join or re-join  us TBH.

Certainly never heard or read that anywhere, only veteran reserve manager Gibson left from last seasons first 11.... 🤦‍♂️ Massive rebuild needed again, Really hope AJ has some good players lined up... Pre season training starts Thursday....

I'm sure Slipmat will have some posts he can quote to back up his claim,  or maybe not.

One of the most common, and probably justified, complaints is that we have to start from scratch building a new squad every year. Giving the manager a 2 year deal isnt going to solve that overnight but it must be a big help, Shirley?

It makes a difference because when players agree to play for a manager, knowing that his position isn't immediately under that is a big factor in them committing for more than just the short term.

However, as DHD said, it might be a factor in some players decisions.

ETA - how can you hope to have continuity in the playing squad if you dont have it in the management team?

To be fair, it turns out it was mainly Mr X putting that argument across.

I really liked the look of Pybus. Wouldn’t mind him at Somerset.

Yes good player canny understand him not being in AJ plans..... He must have a good calibre of replacement players lined up.... 🤷‍♂️

Was told at he end of the season he wasn’t being offered a new contract

100% agree Dan was never offered a contract. Only McCabe and the ones that have signed on so far. Shields and Ayo but they were never going to sign with PL interest.
