BorderJambo Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Different to Selkirk situation in that the club doesn’t have large debts, so doubt that kind of thing however the team that is assembled will almost certainly struggle in the league 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Scullion as well, who finished the season with the club. So that’s 5 defenders and a goalkeeper all away. Plus the two wide players. From what finished the season I’m not sure if that leaves many more than 5/6 players. That’s what I have been led to believe as well. The chairman seems happy to let them all go. Exactly if am a player now am not wanting to sign for Gala they’ll find it very hard to attract players now due to all those good players leaving and word gets around quick in the football players talk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patiently waiting for an announcement from the club... could be Christmas before that happens mind you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got to be coming from higher ups to keep quiet just now. I really like GFR as a club but sacking Dean and management team after another fantastic season under difficult circumstances, especially with injuries. was a shocker. I wish the new management team well when they come in but I've lost a bit of respect for the higher ups at Gala. The decent thing to do would at least thank Dean and the boys for all their hard work, Whether the decision was right or wrong, time will tell. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surely not! Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 https://www.bordertelegraph.com/sport/17659053.hastings-and-mangan-arrive-at-gala-fairydean-rovers/Couple of telling lines in there from JC about attractiveness and style. And an even more damning line from the reporter reminding us that Hastings was with the last two L2 teams to be in the playoffs.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct the whole situation is a shambles the way they’ve handled this matter players are beta away from the club tbh writing is on the wall. Chairman listened to John Collins perhaps shambolic they will suffer bigtime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie97863 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 What a piece of nonsense, a man who’s played at the top level for teams who have the pick of who they want and are full time determining how a side in the 5th tier of Scottish football plays! With the money now in the league and players coming in its time to play smart, can’t wait to see them try and pass round East Kilbride and Kelty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dealornodeal Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I would imagine Hastings and his assistant will be trying to tap a couple of players away from his old club Pumpherston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
