Thommo90 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Strange one Wardrop going to Airdrie (if true) 2 days ago he was asked if he ever fancied going full time again and he said not just now, and if he did it would need to be the right offer. Canny imagine Airdrie to be throwing him money he can't refuse. Bit of a risk for him I think but good luck to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alloa banked half a million in the SG COVID payout, both QP and Cove are being bankrolled and so are Montrose but to a lesser extent. The new owners have pawned the stadium and land to Pendragon probably to cover the “investment” they made in buying the club and the debt. That is genuinely an astonishing amount of cash that was pushed Alloa's way. Edited June 2, 2021 by George Parr 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a guess but of the three players we’re supposedly signing I reckon Wardrop will be part-time and the others probably full-time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely a bit disappointed we didn't hold onto him but it's a new era and we need to trust that Faz will get sufficient replacements. I like Wardrop but that horrific injury may well have affected him a la Calum Campbell.Also may have affected him empotionally.I think he might think twice about going into a dangerous challenge.Not calling him a coward in any way but clearly he has a career outside of football and you have to ask if its worth it for him. ETA Brian Graham should still be hung out to dry for that challenge. Edited June 2, 2021 by lorenzo71 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know they were hybrid, makes sense then! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new owners have pawned the stadium and land to Pendragon probably to cover the “investment” they made in buying the club and the debt. I wasn't aware of Montrose being bankrolled, can't be by very much given the squad they've assembled over the last 4-5 years. Alloa might have received £500K but they'll have spent a bit of that trying to keep themselves up and in any case, they've put Barry Ferguson in charge of their next budget so there's every chance that ends in tears. Cove will be a decent side again but we beat them last year with apparently the second worst budget in the league, and their first signing is looking like being Morgyn Neill so perhaps they're not throwing around as much as we thought. QP and Falkirk will be out in front with their budgets but the former currently has an abandoned building site for a ground to play in and the latter had just as a big a budget last year and finished 5th. We have absolutely nothing to fear next season and I'm delighted that Faz and Geggan are speaking so positively about us challenging for top 4. The handout we received from the government has lifted us out of the overdraft and into a "healthy" position for the first time in years. We not only appointed what appears to be a good manager, but we paid off another club for his services. All noises pointing towards a competitive budget for me but we'll see what the squad looks like come the start of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I suppose everyone is being bankrolled by comparison to what we got from the previous owners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on a late shift so I'll be at the ground for 9:30 to buy my season ticket. I'll be in Morrisons before hand but I'll be nowhere near the fish counter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All noises pointing towards a competitive budget for me but we'll see what the squad looks like come the start of the season. I’ll be absolutely astonished if we pay Stranraer anything for Faz. It’s probably more likely that his 2 year deal with them was agreed verbally but not signed. Even if we do have to pay it’ll be peanuts. St Mirren paid us less than £8k for Murray. I genuinely hope you are right with your conclusions and indeed nothing would please me more than if you are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been said, he’s a leader, ambitious and very much a similar leader to the Andy graham we signed and look how that turned out. The guy has went on and won the league 4 times, he knows what’s required To be competitive and hopefully that rubs off on any of the new people around him. He wouldn’t have got a deal at thistle last season if he didn’t still have something to offer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
