invergowrie arab Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 It's the same as last few seasons scrambling about trying to assemble a squad when the season has already started. A lot of absolute shite spouted in may about a squad identity. What is it? What I have seen so far could have been us at our worst last year. Still, a pub will be nice and it's a real boom industry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardy23 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Cheltenham Town striker Brian Graham could be on his way back to Scotland after less than a year down south. .. Just saying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought that in the first few weeks after the season ended we at least looked like we had a plan with recruitment. Most of our business seemed to be getting done in early June and then we had nothing for about five weeks. Now it feels like we scrambling around again and it isn't going to end well if we are looking for players who don't have clubs at this time of year or have been passed around other teams and we are signing our 6th choice target man (or in central defender in Paul Watson's case). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels to me that the plan was based around signing a core group of players half we got, half we missed out on and absolutely no plan B for those we missed out on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szamo's_Ammo Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I've said it before but I am really impressed with Martin and the changes he is making around the club, apart from his support of Laszlo. Of course there is the small chance that Laszlo works out and Martin was correct all along. I will be hoping for that come kick off on Saturday. It's worth remembering that Eddie Thompson hired a succession of terrible managers and spent ridiculous amounts on players (increasing our debt in the process) all the while doing very little to improve the overall structure of the club beyond the first team squad and manager. He has a stand named after him. Craig Levein changed the culture at the club more than ET ever did. These changes Martin has made will take far longer than a few months to bear fruit. In some ways it is admirable he has stuck by Laszlo despite everyone calling him a clown etc. If we are performing the same way as we have since January after the first quarter of this season and Csaba is still manager I will begin to think Martin is aff his heid. We need to give MM a chance. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think there was a plan personally. Csaba got a call from a few agents and he signed a load of random players. Now hes near the budget limit so hes shitting it and taking too long over the guff thats left. Like the January window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to give MM a chance. My one big question would be this - Is Mike Martin blind and mental? He must have watched us under Laszlo. He actually took a Mckinnon team and made it worse. He signed tons of rubbish players in january. Laszlo needed to be hoofed after the playoffs. I think MM will be decent long term but his massive failure so far has been his retention of Laszlo. On that front he is very similar to Thompson who gave Jackie and Ray far too much time and look where all that got us. We need a great start or the fans will be up in arms about Laszlo. Again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Mike Martin is an anagram of 'Mini-market', 'Team Rim Ink', and 'I ate Mr Mink'. And for that reason, I'm out. Edited August 1, 2018 by banana 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to give MM a chance. He will only get one. We are genuinly drinking in the last chance saloon. It is obvious that neither Martin or the other directors have the sort of cash United need and the talk of backers from the US has, not surprisingly, turned out just to be talk. We have had two, arguably, unexpected bonuses in the last two seasons with the sell on of Robertson and Armstrong and I cannot see that being repeated unless Gauld suddenly becomes magical. Failure to be promoted this season will be catastrophic, and if we have to bin Lazslo part of the way through and, I would assume, Burger too, then it will just make the decision not to have binned him in the summer all the worse. I cannot see Laszlo getting us up and cannot think of a time when I have wanted so badly to be proved wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
