Big Dan Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Do we have any idea how long the SFA etc. take to make a decision on the legality of the proposed takeover? I cannot take many more days/weeks/months/years, (delete as appropriate), of this seeming endless stream of uninformed speculation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far more entertaining than the pish served up on the pitch. Maybe by that time Caldwell will be out the door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my mind the team, squad and overall performances are an improvement on what he inherited from Archibald 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has lost what 5 games in total in 2019 including hearts - not really the type of run that gives a club an excuse to give someone their jotters. as for the snake oil salesman, no idea what he is like as a person never met him - I presume you have met him. He seems keen to rid the club of the cuddly toy image which for me is a good start 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In saying that, if the takeover goes ahead I think he will be out the door. Edited August 8, 2019 by Sting777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashman Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 While Caldwell is obviously not everyone's cup of tea and has signed a few experienced players, I am not sure why he wouldn't fit under the potential new owners. Transfermarkt shows a squad of 20 players with an average age of 25.9 Of those 10 are under 25 A further 4 are under 27 Maybe signings like Miller & Harkins wouldn't be made going forward, but apart from that I feel that Caldwell could adapt to what the new owners would want. He does come across well at the Meet the Manager events, and explains his methods convincingly, although the Alloa result was a poor start to the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should boost attendance on Saturday, certainly from 2.00pm onwards!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
professor challenger Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Don't see why the Meet the Board section of the day would be restored unless they have a definite announcement to make on the club's future. Can't see them just turning up to be grilled and only able to respond with meaningless platitudes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People usually give you more benefit of the doubt if you're looking them in the eye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public menace Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Simply speaking, is it a case the we had someone worth £155million, willing to invest in our youth development..... And we now have the opportunity to partner up with a billionaire who is willing to invest in the whole club? Is it as simple of a decision as that?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
