Busta Nut Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Yep, club ensured they get Euro money and let him f**k off. Maybe the club were sick of his greeting too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that they've kept the copy on the announcement brief. Not quite Blyth-y but still...it's succinct enough to be a "f**k off".

His profile on the OS was originally May 21. And it's been updated on the OS I had a random look at some of the other players, they all have contracts to May in whichever year they are contracted to. But I did note that Eddie Nolan’s strip sponsorship is still available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 On a side note. I will need a new avatar with wee Al moving on. Think I will go "historic" with it. So I can keep it for a good few years. Also give wee Al the armband for the last two games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure we have had to extend a few before (playoffs went into June etc) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dec to be ceremonially stripped of the arm band before the United game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) It's going to be some patter when Dec misses out on the squad after having that gun held to his head for the sake of a month.

Scotland will/may be finished with the Euros by then, Dosh to us then! So in summary (probably) SOD signs on and gets to keep some or all of the UEFA Euro 2020 participation fee. DEC leaves and we get to keep some or all of the UEFA Euro 2020 participation fee. Hence why I have a hunch he will play last 2 games. The fall out we’re he not to play and then not get selected for the Scotland squad. It would cost the club between £120k and £250k were we to slip to 9th...

crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Saw on Instagram earlier that Bevis got a shoulder op today so chances are even higher now that Gallagher will see out both games. Better him than Magloire anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) On the Moult stuff, going purely on his IG he seems to have a very nice house and seems settled where he is so it'd be a surprise if he was planning coming back up here given there are probably a bunch of League 1 clubs in the area who'd take a chance on him. Was his wife wanting to move back down the road not a big part of him moving last time? I seem to recall his agent at the time saying he had no interest in moving to another Scottish side - tbh I don't see that situation having changed too much. If it's a hypothetical then if it's a choice between a fit Devante Cole (who AFAIK has pretty much remained injury free with us) and a version of Moult that's missed 2 seasons of football and is coming back from 2 serious injuries then you probably go with Cole. If it was a replacement for Long or something and we get to keep Watt and Cole as well, then absolutely batter in. That's not to say it wouldn't be nice to have him back as a general point of principle though. Incidentally, entirely unrelated to Moult but all the Gallagher chat had me looking up Tam Aldred clips. This run of games was pretty much at the nadir of the Thunderdome at a point where even Robinson admitted we were unwatchable but even still I'd have Tam in my defence every day of the week. Some fucking boi. Edited May 7, 2021 by capt_oats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 It’s very unlikely to happen but a Moult and Decanter partnership would be dynamite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope it's never something we get involved in. I think this is quality sarcasm but I'm not getting the reference? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not be averse to a 'friends of Declan' exodus along with our inglorious captain in a couple of weeks time to put an end to the whole sorry episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
