Mullin should be offered a PCA as soon as possible. I think he’d sign it if the offer was right.

Livi stopping Mullin playing for us in the SC made me wonder if they would pull him back, but everything you read re Livi tends to suggest they are off loading players to bring some targets in January.  May not be good news as they may have someone willing to pay a small fee or perhaps use him in some swap deal, hopefully it was only a clause they put in just in case

Livi will just be hoping we pay a fee for him in Jan.

I wouldn’t be against paying a small fee for Mullin in January to secure him. Same with Chalmers but that’s probably pie in the sky stuff.

Nothing is Pie in the Sky stuff now with David Smith at the wheel....

I believe salary may be an issue with both of them, hopefully they’d be willing to drop it a bit to join and we could bring it back up if we went up.

Mullin is thirty, and is out of contract at the end of the season so I would be against paying any kind of fee for him tbh - as much as I like him. I don’t think Livingston should or will be expecting anything for him either!

Classic risk verses reward scenario.  The rewards of winning the league are massive for a club like Ayr . I'm still keeping my powder dry for the moment but if we circumnavigate the next two games unbeaten then it could be game on . I think at that point Smith may roll the dice . Gonna be an interesting window indeed , has Glendinning been busy down south ? Or are we looking at Premiership loans ? Anyway sticking Josh on a two and a half year deal seems like good business to me ....

I don’t disagree, I just don’t think paying a fee for a thirty year old, with no sell on value -  who is out of contract in six months makes much business sense. I also don’t really see any reason Livingston would recall him in January. 
 

But yeah - two or three good signings and we have a real chance…

In a perfect world Livingston want him off their accounts in January and we step in with a two and a half year deal . Bosh . However the elephant in room could be a Morton , Thistle or even Dundee who would love to piss on our chips by gazumping us . Market forces and all that . Mullin while perhaps no longer the baller he was two or three years ago , is crucial to what we need right now , a grafter who works back and also comes with goals . We need to get him fixed up by hook or by crook .

Happy to take him off your hands lads..

Mullin has played minutes for Livi in the league this season, so don't think he can go to another club.

Forgot about the two club rule .. puts us in a better position ! Pre contact deal offered at the least ! 

[eez-eh]

If he can’t play for another club and he isn’t in Livi’s plans then not letting him play in the cup is a bit excessive.

Good job there's no league game this weekend with the winter bug forcing the Dundee United friendly to be cancelled

Looking at the weather situation, I'd doubt very much that many games would have made it in any case.

Without being a doom merchant looking at the long range forecast i'd say our game at Thistle could be in big doubt. Temperatures below freezing every night up until 18th December just now.

Mullin was kept out the cup game in case Livingston need him back imo. It’s unlikely to happen but they have to look out for themselves. I don’t think a PCA for him is out of the question but he’d automatically become our highest earner even with a drop in his current wage. I really hope we’ve at least asked Dundee United the question about Chalmers as well. He’s someone that we could pay a small fee for and make a profit on him in a years time if he improves.
