In my time as a fan we’ve ended up flat last 3 times I think and been shit more often than we’ve been good. Obviously it’s not an immediate concern but, as I said before, 2 or 3 bad seasons and it could become a very real danger for a large chunk of established league teams. Look what’s happened since we nearly finished 10th. We finally got our shit together, that’s the whole point of it. We were happily treading water for years under the old regime without any real threat or consequence, now that’s there we have had to put the work in and are in the position we are in now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s worrying if he was a target and we couldn’t beat Montrose to his signature. With Bobby away we need some serious attacking options in the door, and more than one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superlichtie87 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 The thought of being kept on the bench and not having enough faith in him from his previous spell may have been what tipped the decision. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLichtie86 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 A deal was very close but at the end of the day Hester has chosen Montrose over us. I have heard the reason why but i wont disclose that information. Wish him all the best. As this deal has been done nice and early on so we can now look elsewhere and bring in new players 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Would have liked him but absolutely no way would I would want Arbroath paying anything like the £50k Elgin wanted for him. Supposedly Peterhead offered £30k which was turned down so it would likely have been more than that that Mo paid. Club need to step up to the plate now though and get someone better or at least as good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Yeah that’s a good signing for Montrose and also unsure on how he would have done here but would’ve been keen for it if it happened but also not overly bothered it’s not happened either. Would’ve been very intriguing A 50k fee is a big one, can put that towards a wage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tattie36 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Even though I’m not that fussed about Hester, one thing a bit depressing is when you look at Arbroath and Montrose’s respective striker signings in the last year. Mo - Rory McAllister and Kane Hester. Arbroath - ………. relying on Dale Hilson. Not suggesting for one minute that McAllister or Hester are the answer or would do a job in the Championship, but they’re both proven natural goalscorers with an eye for goal.

Maybe Montrose bid that too and they accepted because they weren’t 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superlichtie87 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Fee paid was £30k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterlichtie Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 If Peterhead were offering that kind of cash, were they saving all their budget on trying to sign him. Considering how shite they were last season, they didn't seem to want to invest much in January to try and survive. On that, I don't know how Shanks did there, but it was a poor move for him to develop. Can see him going out on loan again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
